Section 1: System Overview
The PSE-6 is a 6 amp and the PSE-10 is a 10 amp remote power supply with battery charger. Both models provide ADA compatible strobe
synchronization and a filtered 24 VDC output that can be configured to drive five (6 amp model) or seven (10 amp model) Class B NACs
(Notification Appliance Circuits). NAC circuits can be configured for Class A wiring with the optional ZNAC-PS Class A converter mod-
ule. NAC output circuits may be configured as 24 VDC resettable or non-resettable power outputs, or Class D door holder outputs. The input
circuits, which control the power supply operation, are triggered by the reverse polarity of a NAC or by a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source.
The PSE power supplies are compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC control panels.
The PSE-6E and PSE-10E offer the same features as the PSE-6 and PSE-10 respectively, but allow connection to 240 VAC. Unless other-
wise specified, the information in this manual applies to both the 120 VAC models and the 240 VAC models.
The PSE-6C and PSE-10C offer the same features as the PSE-6 and PSE-10 respectively, but are intended for Canadian applications and
adds an additional relay for ground fault reporting. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this manual applies to all models.
The PSE-6R and PSE-10R offer the same features as the PSE-6 and PSE-10 respectively, but come installed in a red cabinet.
1.1 General
PSE power supplies can be used as remotely mounted power supplies and battery chargers to power non-coded or coded NACs. The Main
FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) NAC(s) is connected to the remote power supply input circuit(s). When the command input circuit acti-
vates due to reverse polarity of the NAC from the FACP, the power supply will activate its Notification Appliance Circuits.
During the inactive or non-alarm state, the power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for short and open conditions. In Default Mode,
AC fail, battery, charger and ground fault troubles will also be monitored by the power supply and will activate the AC Fail, General Trou-
ble, and Ground Fault relay, respectively. In Retrofit Mode, AC fail, battery, charger, and ground fault troubles will activate the General
Trouble relay and either the Input#1 (If Input#1 is configured as Normal) or Input#2(If Input#1 is configured as Sync Input). The retrofit
mode also allows to further customize the AC fail and ground fault trouble indication, to be reported only at the AC fail and Ground fault
relay (for Canadian applications) using S1 Global DIP Switch 8. In both default and retrofit modes, if a NAC fault is detected, the input end-
of-line relay will open to indicate the fault to the main panel. However, in alarm state all input end-of-line relays are closed to allow input
signal daisy-chaining. If an alarm condition occurs and the NAC is activated, the supervision is disabled and the Notification Appliance Cir-
cuit is no longer supervised (except for power-limited conditions).

The Ground Fault Detection circuit monitors for ground faults. Switch SW1 is located on the lower left section of the power supply circuit
board. Sliding SW1 to the left will disable ground fault detection by the power supply. This should only be done if ground faults are being
monitored by an FACP connected to the PSE power supply or in a cascading application as shown in Section 2.8.1 on page 18.

Applications System Overview
1.6 Applications
The PSE may be used in a number of different applications. It may be used as a remotely-mounted power supply and battery charger where
it can provide up to seven coded or non-coded, synchronized or non-synchronized NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits). Alternatively,
any output can be used as a door holder circuit which will provide a steady 24 VDC output until an alarm condition or AC fail condition
causes it to drop to 0 VDC following a selectable delay. See the DIP switch settings for S1 global options on page 23. All outputs can also
provide power.
One possible application for the PSE remote power supply utilizes the NAC repeater feature. In this application, one or two NACs are con-
nected from the main FACP to the remote power supply command input circuits. When the command input circuits are activated by the
reverse polarity of the NACs, the power supply will activate its corresponding output circuits as programmed by its DIP switch configuration
(refer to Table 3.9 on page 26).
During the inactive state, the remote power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for short and open conditions. If a fault is detected, the
power supply will enter a trouble condition and illuminate the NAC Trouble LED. When the NACs are activated, the supervision is disabled
and the circuits are no longer supervised (except for power-limited conditions). Supervision of other power supply faults such as low battery,
battery charger trouble, ground fault and AC loss will continue and may be monitored via their respective trouble relay.
If an application requires that all outputs activate at the same time, only one NAC is required from the FACP. For this application, the NAC
is connected to command input circuit #1 and the DIP switch is set for this operation.
1.7 Start-up Procedure

1. Configure the power supply switch as described in “Switch SW1 - Ground Fault Detection” on page 10.
2. Install the power supply as described in “Installation” on page 12.
3. Program the power supply as described in “Programming Options” on page 22.
4. Wire the power supply circuits, referring to the options described in “Trouble Supervision” on page 33 and the application examples in
“Application Examples” on page 41.
5. Connect primary power source wiring while observing the following:
– Ensure the AC mains circuit breaker is off before making any wiring connections between the mains and the power supply.
– Make certain primary power source is:
120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 5.0 (6 amp model) 6.2 amps (10 amp model) or
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.7 (6 amp model) 3.5 (10 amp model)
– Run a pair of wires (with ground conductor) from the protected premises main breaker box to TB4 of the power supply main circuit
board.
– Use #12-14 AWG gauge wire with 600V insulation.
6. Apply power to the power supply using the following procedure:
– Apply AC power by turning on the AC mains circuit breaker connected to the power supply.
– Connect a properly charged battery to connector TB15 on the power supply main circuit board.
7. Clear trouble history using global DIP switch S1 positions 9 and 10. See DIP switch settings in Table 3.8 on page 26.

Section 2: Installation
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Select a location for the cabinet that is in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where
extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the
power supply. With the hinge mounting on the left, determine the number of conductors required for the devices to be installed and deter-
mine the appropriate knockouts. All wiring must be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm systems and power
supplies.

2.2.2 ZNAC-PS Class A Option Module

The ZNAC-PS is an optional Class A conversion module which mounts to connector J8 on the upper right side of the circuit board. This
module allows the PSE-6 or PSE-10 to support Class A Notification Appliance Circuits on all outputs. Class A power supervision is also
supported on output circuits #1 and #2 when either of these outputs are configured as resettable or non-resettable auxiliary power. ZNAC-PS
SW1 and SW2 settings must match the PSE output 1 and 2 settings to ensure proper supervision.
Two slide switches are located on the right side of the ZNAC-PS module to properly configure output circuits #1 and #2 for either NAC or
Auxiliary Power operation, as described below. Note that there are no slide switches for the remaining outputs as these outputs do not sup-
port Class A power supervision.
• For output #1, set the upper switch to either “NAC1” or “AUX1” depending on the intended operation.
• For output #2, set the lower switch to either “NAC2” or “AUX2” depending on the intended operation.
NOTE: Class A supervision and the ZNAC-PS module are not intended for use with door holder operation.

2.3 Addressable Module Mounting

The PSE has been designed to allow the mounting of an addressable control, relay, or monitor module on the main circuit board inside the
power supply cabinet. This allows power to be fed from a PSE output circuit directly to the module, if needed, without running the power
wires outside the cabinet. Remove mounting screws from the positions indicated below and replace with standoffs (included in hardware
kit). Mount the module over the standoffs and secure with screws.
Compatible modules include the FCM-1(A), FDM-1(A), FMM-1(A), FRM-1(A), FDRM-1, XP6-C(A), XP6-R(A), XP10-M(A), NC-100,

1. The PSE units can be set to work in either Default or Retrofit modes. In standby condition, the input EOL relays are open when they are
used to report troubles, depending on the configured operating mode. Refer to Table 5.1 on page 33. In alarm condition, all inputs will
close their EOL relays to allow the daisy-chaining of input signals.
2. The debounce/dejitter setting must be set to a value that allows the correct detection of input signals. See Table 3.3 on page 23.
Refer to Section 2.10 for different methods of ground fault monitoring of the power supply. The NAC circuit or remote sync output is to
be monitored by the host FACP. For daisy-chaining power supplies in Canadian applications, Input #1 should be configured as a sync
input with the trigger at Input #2 or #3 for proper ground fault supervision.
2.9 Canadian Applications

Installation shall be in accordance with ULC S524. Wiring methods shall be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical
Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Section 32.
NOTE: Mass Notification is not for use in Canadian applications.
Canadian applications, per ULC, require the following:

• Connect the AC ground wire to the Ground Stud located at the top left of the backbox as shown below. Connect the incoming earth
ground wire to supplied cable #71073 with a wire nut. Position the ring terminal end over the grounding stud. Secure with one of the
keps nuts. Place the ring terminal from the other supplied ground cable #71073 over the ground stud and secure with the second keps
nut. Wire the ground cable to the middle position of TB4. Ensure that the ground for incoming AC mains is the first wire installed,
closest to the backbox. This connection is vital in reducing the panel’s susceptibility to transients generated by lightning and
electrostatic discharge. Apply AC power to the panel only after the system is completely installed and visually checked. Note that AC
power must be applied to the panel before installing the battery interconnect cable.

There are three ways to monitor for ground faults in the power supply when cascading (up to four) or daisy-chaining power supplies.
1. The negative (-) battery terminal of the PSE power supply must be connected to the negative (-) battery terminal of the host FACP.
Battery wiring is non-power-limited. Power-limited and non-power-limited wiring must be wired with a minimum of 0.25” spacing in
between and enter/exit through different knockouts. When cascading multiple power supply units, continue connecting the negative

battery terminals, including FACP battery terminal. Ground faults must then be detected by the first PSE in the chain. Disable ground
fault detection on other PSE units by sliding SW1 to the left. Ensure ground fault detection is enabled on PSE1, the first power supply
from the FACP, by sliding SW1 to the right. 18 AWG wire minimum must be used.

2. Ground fault monitoring may be accomplished by mapping an annunciator point on a UL 864-/ULC S527-listed FACP as ground fault.
The annunciator shall be wired adjacent to the FACP so all displays are grouped for viewing and operation by one person.
Addressable FACP: The FACP must be programmed to turn on the common trouble LED, trouble tone, and a separate yellow
annunciator point when the monitor module connected to the PSE ground fault relay is initiated. The annunciator point must also be
labeled as “XXX Ground Fault” where “XXX” describes ground fault origin.

1 Debounce/dejitter provides settling time for input signals to avoid false triggers.
2 Strobe synchronization only works with non-coded NACs.
3 Output circuit(s) must be set to activate on Input #2 or Input #3, if applicable. See, "Command Input #1" below.
3.1.1 Global Programmable Features Description

Input Debounce/Dejitter/Delay
Signals from electronic circuits or relay contacts can have a small unstable time when changing state (OFF to ON, or ON to OFF). This
means the signal can briefly “bounce” between states before stabilizing to the desired state, causing signal “jitter” during this time. The PSE
provides four “debounce/dejitter” settings, as shown in the table below. These settings provide time for a NAC Input signal to stabilize
before that NAC Input will recognize it as a valid signal, and not just “noise”, so as to prevent false activation of Output circuits. Input
debounce settings can be used as needed. Unless the system experiences input “noise” issues, apply 1ms setting for general use.
Position 1 Position 2 Setting Notes
OFF OFF Temporal Debounces ANSI temporal signals. Allows for a 0.5 second ON signal with an almost 2
second OFF signal to trigger a continuous ON input signal. Do not use for strobe sync
signals.
ON OFF 50Hz (20msec) Debounces FWR (full wave rectified signals). Allows an input signal with 50Hz, 33% duty
cycle to trigger a continuous (i.e. filters FWR input signal to appear constantly on) ON input
signal. May apply to legacy panels. Do not use for strobe sync signals.
OFF ON 6 msec Input delay for strobe sync signals (i.e. Slave Configuration using sync input), or
control/relay modules (i.e. Master or Aux. power Configuration using trigger input).
ON ON 1 msec Input delay for strobe sync signals (i.e. Slave Configuration using sync input), or
control/relay modules (i.e. Master or Aux. power Configuration using trigger input). Must be
the only one used when cascading power supplies. Refer to Section 2.8.1 on page 18.
Table 3.3 Debounce/Dejitter Settings

Programming Options S1 Global Options DIP Switch
Command Input #1
Power supply Output circuits can be configured to “follow” a sync pattern that is input to Command Input #1 (TB5), either immediately
(Input#1 Normal Configuration), or only after a trigger signal (Input #1 Sync Configuration) is applied at Command Input #2 (TB6) or Com-
mand Input #3 (TB7), if applicable. In Input #1 Sync Configuration, an output circuit will only output the Command Input #1 sync pattern
when Command Input #2 (or Command Input #3 on the PSE-10) is receiving a valid (9V - 32V) trigger signal.
• Input #1 is dedicated as the follower input for any synchronization signal received into this input. Do not apply the trigger signal to this
input.
• Input #2 is used for the trigger input for either the 6 amp or 10 amp models. Do not apply the synchronization signal to this input.
• Input #3 can also be used for the trigger input, but is only available on the 10 amp model. Do not apply the synchronization signal to
this input.
• Use only one input (Input #2 or #3) at any one time for the trigger input. When using the Global DIP switch S1 #1 and #2 = ON,ON,
both Input#2 and Input#3 will be used as the trigger input.
• A trigger signal between 9-32VDC is required for proper operation.
If the sync signal is lost in Input#1 Normal Configuration or only the trigger signal is present at Input#2 or #3 in Input#1 Sync Configuration,
the output circuit behavior will depend on the operating mode configuration:
• In Default Mode (Input#1 Normal Configuration, S1 DIP switch 3 ON, 9 ON, 10 ON):
– If the there is no sync signal, the NAC output circuits will be turned OFF immediately.
– If the sync signal is suddenly lost (due to wiring failure), the power supply will turn NACs OFF immediately until a sync signal
appears.
– If the sync signal becomes active after being previously lost (while the trigger signal is ON), the outputs will immediately follow the
Sync signal and NAC configurations.
• In Default Mode (Input#1 Sync Configuration, S1 DIP switch 3 OFF, 9 ON, 10 ON):
– If the there is no sync signal at Input #1, the NAC output circuits will be turned OFF immediately, even if there is a trigger signal at
input #2 or Input#3.
– If the sync signal is suddenly lost at Input #1 (due to wiring failure), the power supply will turn NACs OFF immediately, even if
there is a trigger signal at input #2 or Input#3, until a sync signal appears.
– If the sync signal becomes active after being previously lost, the outputs will immediately follow the Sync signal (provided the
trigger is present at Input#2 or Input#3) and NAC configurations.
• In Retrofit Mode (Input#1 Normal configuration, S1 DIP switch 3 ON, 9 OFF, 10 OFF):
– If there is no sync signal, the NAC circuits will be turned off immediately.
– If the sync signal is suddenly lost (due to wiring failure), the power supply will turn NACs off immediately until a sync signal
appears.
– If the sync signal becomes active after being previously lost (while the trigger signal is on), the outputs will immediately follow the
sync signal and NAC configurations.
• In Retrofit Mode (Input#1 Sync Configuration, S1 DIP switch 3 OFF, 9 OFF, 10 OFF):
– The sync signal is monitored continuously and is declared lost if the signal is off for 3 consecutive seconds. The sync signal is
declared restored (after being previously lost) after it is back on.
– If the trigger signal is activated while the sync signal is in lost state, the power supply will turn NACs on steady with no sync until
the sync signal is restored. The NACs will turn off when the trigger input becomes inactive.
– If the sync signal goes missing while the trigger signal is active, the power supply will turn NACs off until the sync goes into Sync
Lost state (3 sec). After the three seconds, the power supply will turn NACs on steady with no sync.
– If the sync signal goes into the restore state after being previously lost while the trigger signal is active, the outputs will follow the
sync signal and NAC configurations.
Charger Enable/Disable
The PSE battery charger can be disabled to accommodate an external battery charger, such as the CHG-75 or CHG-120. Setting DIP switch
position 4 to the OFF position will disable the charger. Setting DIP switch position 4 to the ON position will enable the charger. It should
only be disabled if an external battery charger is being used for the PSE.
AC Loss Door Holder Dropout Timer
Any output can be configured as a NAC, aux power, or door closer circuit. Configuring an output circuit as a door closer circuit will provide
a steady 24 VDC to door holders until an alarm condition or an AC fail condition. Upon an alarm condition, power to door holder circuits
will be removed, causing doors to close immediately. During an AC fail condition, the door holder will remain energized until the pro-
grammed AC fail indication delay expires. Programmed delays are only applicable to AC loss conditions. Refer to Table 3.1 for UL-compli-
ant settings.
DIP switch positions 5 and 6 are used to select the door holder dropout timer as listed below:
Position 5 Position 6 Door holder dropout delay after AC loss

DIP switch position 8 is used to select which trouble relays will report any AC and ground faults.
Position 8 AC Fail/Ground Fault Indication
OFF AC faults and ground faults are reported either by the Input #1 EOL relay or Input #2 EOL relay (if Input#1
is configured as sync) and by the General Trouble relay
ON Non Canadian applications: AC faults are reported only by the AC Trouble relay.
For Canadian applications, AC faults are reported only by the AC Trouble relay and ground faults will be
reported only by the Ground Fault Trouble relay.
Table 3.7 AC Fail/Ground Fault Indication: Retrofit Mode
Refer to “AC Trouble Relay” on page 35, for operation of internal NAC trouble relay in response to AC loss.
Operating Modes
The power supply operates primarily in Default Mode or Retrofit Mode, depending on the installation. While in either mode, the power sup-
ply can be placed in two special, temporary operating modes per settings described in Table 3.8. These modes are Change Output Circuit
Configurations and Display Trouble History. Upon completion of either of these two modes, the system must be placed back in Default or
Retrofit operating mode. Note that the current operation of all outputs will not be affected or disturbed while in either of these two special
operating modes.
NOTE: When switching between Default and Retrofit modes, go to Change Output Circuit Configurations mode first (and remain there for at
least 1 second) and then move to the desired new mode (even if nothing is changed in the DIP switch settings). This will ensure that the
operating mode is updated.
 Default Mode
This is default operating mode of the power supply (the mode configured when the unit is shipped), and is compliant with UL 864 10th Edi-
tion standards. Operation of the power supply will be detailed in Default Mode unless otherwise specified.
 Retrofit Mode
This mode is an alternative to Default Mode, to be used for legacy/existing installations
Note that when the power supply is configured for use in Retrofit Mode, the FACP should be monitoring either Input #1/Input #2 end-of-line
relay or the General Trouble relay, but not both.
In Retrofit Mode, output 1 will blink as visual indication that the panel is operating in Retrofit Mode. Refer to Section 4 for details on LED
patterns.
 Change Output Circuit Configurations Mode
NOTE: DIP switch settings may be changed to the desired configuration either before or after entering Change Output Circuit Configurations
Mode.
1. Enter this mode via the setting shown in Table 3.8. Once entered, the Output trouble LEDs will continually flash from right to left to
confirm the PSE is in Change Output Configuration Mode.
2. Configure settings on the Output DIP switches as needed (see Note above).
3. Return to Default or Retrofit Mode via DIP switches settings for 9 and 10 as shown in Table 3.8 below. The output trouble LEDs will
stop the flash pattern described above to confirm Default or Retrofit Mode has been restored.

 Display Trouble History Mode

To see past troubles on the system, place position 9 to OFF and position 10 to ON. Refer to Section 4 for descriptions of troubles. Trouble
history will be erased upon exiting the Display Trouble History operating mode.
The behavior of the Display Trouble History Mode with regard to the Sync Input Configuration and Trouble reporting will depend on which
was the last active (minimum 5 minutes) operating mode, Default or Retrofit, before entering Display Trouble History Mode.
DIP switch positions 9 and 10 are used to select the type of operating mode as listed below:

3.2 Output Circuit Control DIP Switch Settings

Each output circuit has its own programming DIP switch. DIP switches S2-S8 are labeled on the PCB to indicate which output circuit it is
controlling. Output circuits are labeled at the top of the PCB, TB8-TB14.The following table applies to DIP Switches S2-S8.
Important! If an output circuit is overloaded, the output will shut off and generate a trouble signal. If this happens, the PSE will need to be
reset manually. Either reset circuit configurations by toggling switch S1 position 10 to the OFF position for a minimum of five seconds or
turn off primary and secondary power and reapply to the PSE.

Each output circuit on the PSE can be used as a remote stand-alone power supply to provide power to any devices that require filtered, reset-
table or non-resettable power. The PSE can provide up to 3 amps of continuous current. Non-resettable power is suitable for powering
annunciators and other peripheral equipment. Resettable power is suitable for four-wire smoke detectors. Resettable outputs reset when the
mapped input receives a negative pulse trigger signal from FACP or control module. There will be a three second delay prior to output reset.
The output reset will last 10 seconds. Set DIP switches positions indicated in Table 3.12 below to select auxiliary power type.

Synchronizing NACs - Master/Slave Configurations
Each of the PSE power supply outputs can be independently configured for Master or Slave Synchronization by setting DIP switches accord-
ing to Table 3.14. Synchronization is a feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in such a way that all devices will turn on
and off at exactly the same time. This is particularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid random activation
and a potential hazard or confusion.
In some installations, it is necessary to synchronize the flash timing of all strobes in the system for ADA compliance. Strobes accomplish
this by monitoring very short timing pulses on the NAC power which are created by an FACP with synchronization capability. If a NAC wire
run from the host FACP or power supply is repurposed as a control circuit to the input of a PSE, the PSE NAC output circuits can track (fol-
low) the strobe synchronization timing pulses. This maintains the overall system flash timing of the additional strobes attached to this power
supply. Note that strobe synchronization works only with non-coded NACs.
When the output circuit is configured as a sync generator (Master Synchronization Configuration), the sync input circuit will only be used to
trigger the output. The power supply is the originator of the strobe synchronization pulse on the NAC output. Refer to Table 3.14 to select the
desired Master Configuration sync type.
When the output circuit is configured as a sync follower (Slave Synchronization Configuration), the power supply’s NAC outputs track the
strobe synchronization pulses present at the supply’s Input terminals (based on the settings selected from Table 3.10). The pulses originate
from an upstream FACP or other power supply. Some FACPs provide synchronization timing pulses from a dedicated sync output connector.
Connect the PSE input terminals to the FACP sync output connector instead of the FACP NAC.
If circuits are configured for both Master and Slave Configuration, devices must be installed in different zones or field of view on a circuit
basis.

Master Configuration - Selective Silence
Selective Silence allows the silencing of the sounder portion of a horn/strobe combination device without turning off the strobe. Selective
Silence is only supported while in Master Configuration setting for Amseco, Gentex, System Sensor, and Wheelock. Refer to Table 3.15 to
select the desired Master Configuration, Selective Silence sync type.
NOTE: Do not apply synchronization signals to Command Input #1 and 2. Only trigger signals are allowed (i.e. constant 9-32 VDC).
Synchronization signal is internally generated by the system when in Master Configuration.
Only Command Inputs #1 and #2 are used to control the Selective Silence operation. (Command Input #3 on PSE-10 does not support Selec-
tive Silence.) Input #1 is for activating the horn/strobe devices, while Input 2 only controls sounding of the horns. Input #1 must be active for
Input #2 to have any effect on NAC outputs set for Selective Silence. The list below provides additional detail.
• If only Command Input #1 is active, only the strobes will be activated .
• If both Command Input #1 and #2 are active, strobes and horns will be activated.
• If only Command Input #2 is active, NAC outputs will not be activated.
• If neither Command Input #1 nor #2 is active, NAC outputs will not be activated.

 Maximum Number of Strobes for Synchronization
The total current draw for each Notification Appliance Circuit cannot exceed 3.0 amps special application, 1A (6 amp model) or 1.5A (10

Notes

Section 5: Trouble Supervision
The FACP will detect PSE power supply faults. Any of the following conditions will cause the trouble contact to open, provided the FACP
Notification Appliance Circuit is not in alarm.
5.1 Trouble Supervision Using Input Circuits
The FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) supervises the connection between itself and the PSE via the control panel’s NAC End-of-Line Resis-
tor (ELR). To supervise the PSE, an ELR must be installed across terminals 1 & 4 (A+ & A-) of Command Inputs #1 and #2 (and #3 for the
10 amp models). A field wiring fault on the NAC output of the PSE will trigger a disconnection of the ELR at the related Command Input,
causing a general NAC trouble at the FACP provided the FACP’s NAC is not in alarm. All inputs in an alarm state will close their EOL
relays to allow the daisy-chaining of input signals (both in Default Mode or Retrofit Mode). Refer to Section 3.2, “Output Circuit Control
DIP Switch Settings”, on page 26 for input/output configuration assignment. The following are exceptions.
1. Resettable Aux Power, Non-Resettable Aux Power, and Door Holder Aux Power outputs will trigger the General Trouble relay only
during an output trouble regardless of the output to input relationship (i.e. mapping) when the Power supply is configured in the Default
Mode. When configured in Retrofit Mode, they will be reported by either the Input#1 or Input#2 (if Input #1 is in Sync Configuration)
EOL relay, and in addition by the General Trouble relay Refer to 5.2, "General Trouble Relay" below.
2. Faults are only reported by Command Input #1 when Selective Silence Output Configuration is controlled by Command Input #1 and
#2.
3. Faults are only reported by the trigger input when Command Input #1 is configured for Sync Configuration operation controlled by a
sync and trigger input.
If the PSE is in alarm, only a power-limiting condition on the NAC will be detected as a trouble.
If other trouble monitoring is required when the power supply is in alarm, the Trouble Relay at TB1, and AC Trouble at TB2, and Ground
Fault Trouble at TB3 (Canadian applications only) can be used for this purpose.
The following table summarizes the trouble supervision using the input end-of-line relays in both Default Mode and Retrofit Mode.
Note that when the power supply is configured for Retrofit Mode, the FACP should be monitoring either Input #1/Input #2 end-of-line relay
or the General trouble relay, not both.

Trouble Supervision General Trouble Relay
5.2 General Trouble Relay

The PSE power supply has a fail-safe Form-C trouble relay located at TB1. The contacts can be monitored by an FACP input circuit or an
addressable monitor module as illustrated in Figure 5.1. Note that any faults reported by Command Inputs are not repeated by the trouble
relay in Default Mode, offering limited trouble reporting. For Retrofit Mode trouble reporting, refer to Table 5.1 above and Table 5.2 below.
When the power supply is configured for Retrofit Mode, the FACP should be monitoring either Input #1/Input #2 end-of-line relay or the
General Trouble Relay, but not both.
Trouble conditions that will cause the normally energized trouble relay to change states regardless of whether the panel is in alarm or standby:
• A battery fail condition at the power supply
• A battery charger fail on the power supply
• A ground fault condition on the power supply (for non-Canadian models only or in Retrofit Mode if S1 Global DIP switch 8 = OFF)
• An AC fail condition (only in Retrofit Mode, if S1 Global DIP switch 8 = OFF)
• A field wiring fault on the PSE outputs configured as resettable aux power, non-resettable aux power, or door holder aux power
• A total panel overload fault
• A blown AC fuse
• A field wiring fault on the NAC output configured as Slave, Master, or Master Selective Silence Outputs (only in Retrofit Mode)
The following table summarizes the trouble supervision using the General trouble relay in both Default Mode and Retrofit Mode.
Note that when the power supply is configured in Retrofit Mode, the FACP should be monitoring either Input #1/Input #2 end-of-line relay

AC Trouble Relay Trouble Supervision
5.3 AC Trouble Relay

The PSE power supply has a fail-safe Form-C trouble relay located at TB2. The contacts can be monitored by an FACP input circuit or an
addressable monitor module similar to the drawing illustrated in Figure 5.1. The AC Trouble Relay responds to an AC fail condition on the
PSE immediately, or after a programmed delay time, depending on the setting of S1 switches 7 and 8.
The reporting of AC loss to a central station is usually delayed in order to prevent multiple transmissions of AC loss and restoral, allowing
AC power to stabilize. When a host FACP is programmed to delay AC loss reporting, the PSE must be configured to delay the reporting of
AC fail. This is accomplished by setting S1 positions 7 and 8. Refer to the DIP switch setting chart in Table 3.5 on page 25. This will prevent
AC loss from being reported as a trouble condition for 30, 12, 2, or 0 hours. (Only the 2 and 0 hours options are available in Retrofit Mode.)
Note that only no delay and the 2 hour delay are acceptable per UL 864 and UL 2572.
Note that when the power supply is configured for Retrofit Mode, the S1 Global DIP switch 8 setting will determine how an AC power loss
trouble condition is reported
• If S1 Global DIP switch 8 = OFF, an AC power loss trouble condition is reported by either Input #1 or Input #2 EOL relay and by the
General Trouble relay.
• If S1 Global DIP switch 8 = ON, an AC power loss trouble condition is reported by the AC trouble relay only.
The following table summarizes the trouble supervision using the AC trouble relay in both Default Mode and Retrofit Mode.

5.4 Ground Fault Relay (Canadian Applications Only)

The PSE-6/10C power supply has a form-C trouble relay located at TB3. The contacts can be monitored by an FACP input circuit or an
addressable monitor module similar to the drawing illustrated in Figure 5.1. Ground fault conditions will cause the relay to change states
regardless of whether the panel is in alarm or standby.
Note that when the power supply is configured for Retrofit Mode, the S1 Global DIP switch 8 setting will determine how a Ground fault
trouble condition is reported.
• For non-Canadian applications or if S1 Global DIP switch 8 = OFF, a ground fault trouble condition is reported by either Input #1 or
Input #2 EOL relay, and by the General Trouble relay.
• For Canadian applications (PSE-6/10C) and if S1 Global DIP switch 8 = ON, a ground fault trouble condition is reported by the Ground
fault relay only.
The following table summarizes the trouble supervision using the Ground fault relay in both Default Mode and Retrofit Mode.

Standby and Alarm

Section 6: Power Supply Requirements
6.1 Overview
This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and standby conditions. This is a four-step pro-
cess, consisting of the following:
1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system
2. Calculating the power supply load current for secondary non-fire and fire alarm conditions
3. Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs
4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system
6.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit

The power supply requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which must be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch cir-
cuit must connect to the line side of the main power feed of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be powered from
the fire alarm branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnect devices, from the power source to the
power supply. Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Codes as well as local codes.
Use a minimum of 14 AWG (2.00 mm2) wire with 600 volt insulation for this branch circuit.
Use Table 6.1 to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes, that must be supplied to the system.

6.3 Calculating the System Current Draw

6.3.1 Overview
The power supply must be able to power all internal and external devices continuously during a fire alarm condition. The secondary power
source (batteries) must be able to power the system during a primary power loss.To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the power supply
when secondary power is applied, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 6.3 on page 37. The power supply must support a larger load current
during a fire alarm condition. To calculate the fire alarm load on the power supply as secondary power, use Calculation Column 2 in
Table 6.3 on page 37.
When calculating current draw and the battery size, note the following:
• Primary refers to the main power source for the power supply.
• Secondary refers to the power supply’s backup batteries.
• All currents are given in amperes (A). Table 6.2 shows how to convert milliamperes and microamperes to full amperes.
To convert... Multiply Example

Milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A) mA x 0.001 3 mA x 0.001 = 0.003 A

6.3.2 How to Calculate System Current Draw

Use Table 6.3 to calculate current draws as follows and refer to the battery calculation tool on www.notifier.com.
1. Enter the quantity of devices in both columns.
2. Enter the current draw where required. Refer to the Notifier Device Compatibility Document for compatible devices and their current
draws.
3. Calculate the current draws for each in both columns.
4. Sum the total current for each column.
Following are the types of current that can be entered into Table 6.3.
Calculation Column 1 - The secondary supply current load that the power supply must support during a non-fire alarm condition,
with DC power applied
Calculation Column 2 - The secondary supply current load the power supply must support during a fire alarm condition, with DC
power applied
Table 6.3 contains two columns for calculating current draws. For each column, calculate the current and enter the total (in amperes) in the
bottom row. When finished, use the data to select the proper size batteries in Tables 6.4 and 6.5.

6.4 Selecting and Locating Batteries

Select batteries that meet or exceed the total ampere hours determined in Tables 6.4 and 6.5. The power supply can charge batteries from 7
AH to 33 AH range. The power supply cabinet is capable of housing industry standard 7 AH or 18 AH batteries. Other ampere batteries (e.g.
12AH, 26AH, 33AH) will not fit physically inside the PSE cabinet and require a separate battery box.
6.4.1 NFPA Battery Requirements

NFPA 72 Local and Proprietary Fire Alarm Systems require 24 hours of standby power followed by 5 minutes in alarm for normal opera-
tions, 15 minutes for mass notification systems, or 30 minutes for Canadian applications.
NOTE: When using carbon monoxide detection, the system must be monitored by a Supervising Station meeting the Standard for the
Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning Equipment, NFPA 720.

6.4.2 Maximum Battery Standby Load

Tables 6.4 and 6.5 show the standby load calculations for the power supply based on 24 hours of standby. The standby load calculations in
the Table 6.3 must be less than the number shown in Tables 6.4 and 6.5 for the selected battery size, standby hour and alarm time. The num-
bers below have a built in 20% derating factor for the battery ampere capacity.

Section 7: Testing and Maintenance
7.1 Periodic Testing and Service
Periodic testing and servicing of equipment is essential to ensure proper and reliable operation. Test and service the power supply according
to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following documents:
• NFPA Standard 72’s section on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance
• All test and maintenance instruction codes and software necessary to provide test and inspection requirements of CAN/ULC-S536,
Standard for the Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems
7.2 Battery Checks and Maintenance

Maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries used in the system do not require the addition of water or electrolyte. These batteries are charged
and maintained in a fully charged state by the main power supply’s charger during normal system operation. A discharged battery typically
reaches the voltage of 27.6 VDC within 48 hours;. Sealed lead-acid batteries must be replaced within at most 5 years from their date of man-
ufacture. Minimal replacement battery capacity appears on the control panel marking label. Immediately replace a leaking or damaged bat-
tery. Replacement batteries are available from the manufacturer.
WARNING: SULFURIC ACID

! BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE SKIN AND EYES AND DAMAGE TO
FABRICS.
F1 Fuse Replacement Not Allowed

Rechargeable Battery Replacement Recommended Part Numbers:
• BAT-1270 (12V,7AH)

• BAT-12260 (12V, 26AH)
• BAT-12330 (12V, 33AH)

Appendix A: Wire Requirements
Connecting external system accessories to the main circuits must be carefully considered to ensure proper operation. It is important to use
the correct type of wire, gauge and run length for each circuit. The following table lists NAC wiring requirements for the PSE-6 and PSE-10
Power Supply.
The numbers documented in this chart are worst case numbers, based on the conditions listed below. The maximum voltage drop, maximum
loop resistance, and wire length ratings can be increased with lower system current loading.
1. The PSE-6/10 is full capacity loaded at 6A/10A.
2. The PSE-6/10 is running at the Low Battery voltage of 20.4VDC (at Battery Connector TB15).
Wire lengths apply to Class B wiring, and to Class A wiring returned to the ZNAC-PS card.

NOTE: Calculations are based on Direct-Current Resistance data for uncoated copper wire, per National Electrical Code (2005 Edition) Table
8, Conductor Properties.
NOTE: These distances reflect the worst case scenario and are based on the correct draw of the highest candela strobes at the low end of the
supported NAC voltage with the entire load at the end of the circuit. Further distances can be achieved by performing a point to point voltage
calculation that more accurately reflects the specific devices used and how they are dispersed on the circuit.

Appendix B: Application Examples
B.1 Controlling NACs For Selective Silence Operation Using a Control Module
In this application, the power supply has been set as a master with synchronized outputs and selective silence (see DIP switch settings and
Selective Silence Operation information in Section 3). This application requires Input #1 to be controlled by the FACP. Input #2 is required

Figure B.1 Controlling Multiple Outputs with One Input
The following notes apply to Figure B.1.

When the PSE power supply is in an inactive state (FACP NAC not active), a trouble on the NAC circuit will result in an open circuit condi-
tion on the FACP (monitored by End-of-Line Resistor across TB5, Terminals 1 and 4). As an alternative, the trouble contacts at TB1 of the
power supply can also be used for limited trouble monitoring excluding Selective Silence output faults. Refer to Section 5 for more informa-
tion.
• Refer to Section 3 for instructions on setting the DIP switches.
• Selective Silence output faults are only reported via Command Input #1 (not Command Input #2).
• Wire NACs as shown on page 13.
• Do not loop wires under screw terminals. Break wires to maintain proper supervision.
• An End-of-Line Resistor must be installed across all input circuits, Terminals 1 and 4, for control module wiring supervision (the ELR
value is dependent on the module/FACP employed).
• For a list of compatible devices, refer to the Notifier Device Compatibility Document #15378.
• Refer to the SLC Wiring Manual for more information.

Application Examples Controlling NACs For Sync Follower Operation Using a Control Module (Default Mode Configuration Only)
B.2 Controlling NACs For Sync Follower Operation Using a Control Module (Default
Mode Configuration Only)
In this application, the power supply has been set to operate in Slave Configuration and will follow the sync signal from the FACP. This
application requires Input #1 to be controlled by the FACP sync output. Input #1 may be wired to the next PSE or terminate in and ELR.
Input #2 (or Input #3, if available) will act as the trigger signal for the output circuits. The control module can be powered by one of the PSE
output circuits, configured as aux power (24VDC). See Table 3.14 on page 28 for DIP switch settings.

Figure B.2 Controlling Multiple Outputs with One Input as Sync Follower

• When the PSE power supply is in an inactive state (control module not active), a trouble on the NAC circuits mapped to TB6 will result
in an open circuit condition on the control module output circuit (monitored by End-of-Line Resistor across TB6, Terminals 1 and 4).
As an alternative, the trouble contacts at TB1 of the power supply can also be used for limited trouble monitoring excluding faults
reported by Command Input #2 related to Command Input#1 configured for Sync Input Configuration. Refer to Section 5 for more
information.
• Output faults are reported via Command Input#2 with Command Input#1 configured for Sync Input Configuration operation.
• Refer to the FACP manual for load restrictions and line length limitations when wiring multiple power supplies at the input.
• An End-of-Line Resistor must be installed across all input circuits, Terminals 1 and 4, for control module wiring supervision (the ELR
value is dependent on the module/FACP employed).

Controlling NACs, Aux Power, or Door Holders Using a Control Module Application Examples
B.3 Controlling NACs, Aux Power, or Door Holders Using a Control Module
All output circuits, NACs, aux power (non-resettable power – active regardless of control module state), or door holders, can be controlled
from one input such as an addressable control module as illustrated in Figure B.3. The control module can be powered from one of the PSE
output circuits, as 24 VDC power. In this example, Output #1 will be configured as 24VDC non-resettable aux power.
The control module is shown to demonstrate the use of an internally mounted device associated with an addressable fire alarm control panel.
The module could be replaced with any circuit capable of polarity reversal, such as an FACP Notification Appliance Circuit.
