Electronics Power Supply User Manual

POWERPATH™ Operating Modes (refer to Installation Manual):
Normal Mode: Provides constant 24 VDC output upon initiation by a voltage to input IN1 or IN2 or by a contact opening
on DRY1 or DRY2. The unit returns to standby mode when the input is deactivated.
Wheelock Sync Mode: Provides signals for synchronization of patented Wheelock audible and strobe notification
appliances. Audibles can also be silenced in this mode while the strobes continue to ash.
In>Out Sync Mode: Accepts a synchronization signal on the input to provide a coded output or synchronized output. This signal
may come from a FACP, another POWERPATH or a Wheelock DSM synchronization module. Caution: Do not use strobes on coded
output circuits.
True Input Follower Mode: Accepts a coded signal on the input to provide a coded output with the same timing as the
input. The signal may come from a FACP, another POWERPATH or other coded source. Caution: Do not use strobes
on coded output circuits.
Temporal Mode: Codes the output voltage in a code-3 temporal pattern to drive audible appliances such as horns,
bells or chimes. Caution: Do not use strobes on coded output circuits.
