Note 1:

A maximum of 4.9 Amps is available for a combination of Speaker Power and Strobe currents.

Note 2:

A maximum of 4.6 Amps is available for a combination of Speaker Power and Strobe currents.

Note 3:

A maximum of

5.5 Amps is available for a combination of Speaker Power and Strobe currents.

Wire gauge may vary for each visual notification appliance output circuit on the panel. Wire gauge

selection should involve consideration of all factors including, wire loop length, maximum current draw

of each appliance, number of appliances, and maximum voltage drop allowable.

When laying out each NAC circuit for the speakers, calculate the total wattage required. Good

engineering practice is to not exceed 85% of the amplifier rating that you plan to use. If calculations

exceed this, an larger capacity amplifier or additional amplifier(s) can solve this problem.

• Each Strobe NAC has a 24 VDC, 2.0 amps maximum output

• Each Strobe NAC meets Class B supervision requirements for notification appliance

circuits.

• Each output circuit shall have a UL LISTED, 10K Ohm, EOLR resistor. (1W), installed

across the last visual notification appliance. If the output is unused, a UL LISTED,

10K Ohm, EOLR resistor (1W) shall be placed across the output terminals. Each

amplifier module contains the required number of EOLRs for the supervised outputs.

If more are needed, recommend using Wheelock, Inc. End of Line Resistor Kit

(Model Number EOLK, Part# 5076), which contains Eight (8) UL LISTED 10K Ohm

1W resistors.
