Remote Booster Power Supply
The Remote Booster Power Supply is a self-contained 24 Vdc power supply designed to
augment fire alarm audible and visual power requirements as well as provide power for
auxiliary, access control and security applications. The booster contains all of the neces-
sary circuits to monitor and charge batteries, control and supervise four Class B or two Class
A NAC circuits and monitor two controlling inputs from external sources.
Simple switch selection provides a wide variety of operational configurations. Each remote
booster power supply is supplied with its own enclosure providing ample space for addi-
tional interface modules and battery compartment.
For security applications, space is provided to mount a tamper switch in the cabinet. When
used for Fire Alarm notification with Genesis Notifica-
tion appliances, the booster provides the ability to syn-
chronize strobes as well as horn signals. The booster
flexibility allows synchronization with upstream de-
vices, or, the booster may be used to synchronize down-
stream devices, as well as other boosters and their
connected devices. Up to 10 boosters deep may be
configured while maintaining strobe synchronization.
BPS notification appliance circuits easily configure for either of two
signaling rates: 3-3-3 temporal or continuous. This makes the BPS ideal
for applications requiring signaling rates not available from the main
panel. It also allows independent setup of a notification appliance circuit without interfer-
ing with the main panel and its initiating circuits. In addition to the generated signal rates,
the BPS can also be configured to follow the signal rate of the main panel’s notification
appliance circuit. This allows seamless expansion of existing NACs.
For comprehensive configuration and wiring details, refer to the BPS Application Guide, 85001-0582.
