Section 1 Introduction The 5499 is a notification appliance circuit and auxiliary power expander that provides up to 9 amps of filtered, 24 volt power for powering notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The 5499 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control panels, the 5499 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your panel may normally allow.
5499 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual Section 2 UL Requirements When installed in accordance with NFPA 70 and NFPA 72 standards, the 5499 can be connected to UL Listed devices. The 5499 is also listed to meet UL 864, UL 2572 and power limiting requirements. The 5499 is compatible with any UL listed control unit utilizing reverse polarity supervised notification appliance circuits, using 24 VDC regulated outputs.
System Overview Section 3 System Overview CAUTION Each output circuit is rated at 3 amps. DO NOT OVERLOAD. Overloading a circuit will cause it to shut down (power limit). The circuit will automatically reset once you remove the overload condition. 3.
5499 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual 3.2 Signal Input Terminals Terminals 14 through 19 are polarized signal input terminals. They provide the signaling connection from the main panel to the 5499. See Figure 4-2 for more details. The main panel supervises its notification appliance circuits used for communicating with the 5499 the same way it supervises ordinary notification appliance circuits.
System Overview 3.3 Notification Appliance Circuit Terminals Terminals 3 through 10 are the notification appliance circuit output terminals. Each of the four circuits are rated at 3 amps, although you can only draw a total of 9 amps from the 5499. The 5499 outputs are short-circuit protected (power limited) according to UL 864 standards. Overcurrent indicators are yellow LEDs. The output voltage can vary depending on the load and input voltage.
5499 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual For Option: 13 These Inputs: Input 1 (Strobe Control) Input 2 (Audio Control) Control These Outputs: As: Class A or Class B All outputs Amseco Sync. Output You can select which input controls which output, and which inputs are Class A and Class B using the 7-position DIP switch on the printed circuit board. Section 4.8 for DIP switch settings.
Installation Section 4 Installation Before installing the 5499, the AC input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals (see Figure 4-2). Shut off the electrical power to the 5499, and then complete the general installation of the 5499 using the information in this section. 4.1 Mounting Mount the 5499 in locations that meet the following temperature and humidity requirements. Do not expose the panel to conditions outside these ranges.
5499 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual 4.2 Wire Routing To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high current output and power-limited wiring. Induced noise can interfere with telephone communication or even cause false alarms. Avoid pulling a single multiconductor cable for the entire system. Instead, separate high current input/output from low current. Separate power-limited from non-power-limited wiring.
Installation 4.3 Current Requirements (Standby and Alarm) 4.3.1 Current Drawn From Host Panel Table 4-1 shows the 5499 current draw requirements from the main control panel when the panel’s notification appliance circuit is in alarm. The current draw from the main panel when it is supervising the 5499 is the same current draw that would be present when the main panel supervises an ordinary notification appliance circuit.
