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 necessary
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 additional
interface modules and battery compartment.
When used with Genesis Notification appliances, the booster provides the ability to syn-
chronize strobes as well as horn signals. The booster flexibility allows synchronization with
upstream devices, or, the booster may be used to synchronize downstream devices, as

Optical and combination detectors

V-Series optical detectors continuously adjust their sensitivity based
on fluctuating environmental conditions such as the presence of dirt,
smoke, humidity, or changes in temperature, and notifies the panel of any
changes in sensor sensitivity. When the detector has adjusted its sensitivity
to its maximum limit, it issues a dirty sensor warning, allowing enough of a margin for maintenance personnel to
clean the detector before it goes into trouble condition. These detectors perform comprehensive self-diagnostics
and store these details in their on-board memory.

Devices
Optical/Fixed Temperature Detector

V-PHS Optical/Fixed Temperature Detector houses an optical sensing chamber that detects smoke, as well as a fixed-
temperature sensor that detects heat. The detector analyzes data from both sensors to determine when an alarm is
initiated. This combines the suitability of optical sensing for slow burning fires with the sensitivity of fixed-temperature
detection for fast flaming fires to arrive at a solution that responds reliably to the widest range of fire types. A sophis-
ticated algorithm processes data from both sensors over time so that an alarm is only reported when conditions pre-
cisely match the signature of a fire. This eliminates the shortcomings of single-sensor optical and heat detection, and
significantly reduces the risk of nuisance alarms.
V-PHS Analog Addressable Optical/Fixed Temperature Detector Data Sheet K85001-0592
Optical Smoke Detector

V-PS Optical Smoke Detector uses an optical sensing chamber to detect smoke. The detector analyzes data gathered
by the sensor to determine when an alarm is initiated. Thanks to its high-performance optical sensing chamber, the V-PS
responds quickly and reliably to a wide range of fire types, especially slow burning fires fuelled by combustibles typically
found in modern multi-use buildings. The V-PS detects extremely small particles and triggers an alarm at the first sign of
smoke.
V-PS Analog Addressable Optical Smoke Detector Data Sheet K85001-0592
Heat Detectors
Thanks to advanced thermistor technology, V-Series heat detectors are ideal
for sensing fast, flaming fires and for applications where smoke detection is
inappropriate. They are particularly well-suited to areas such as kitchens and
shower rooms, where the ambient temperature is relatively constant, but
where steam and smoke are present. These heat detectors are capable of
performing comprehensive self-diagnostics and storing the results.
Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector

The V-HRD Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector provides a 15F (8C) per minute rate-of-rise heat sensor for the detection of heat
due to fire. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air and determines whether an alarm should be initiated.
V-HRD Analog Addressable Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector Data Sheet K85001-0592

V-HFD Fixed Temperature Heat Detector provides a 135F (57C) fixed-temperature heat sensor for the detection of heat
due to fire. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air and determines whether an alarm should be initiated.

The Polarity Reversal Relay Module provides a Form C dry relay contact to power and activate
a series of GSA-AB4 Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command from the loop controller, the
GSA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output, thus activating all Sounder Bases on GSA-CRR
the data loop. This module supports only one personality: no user configuration is required.

Synchronization Output Module

The Synchronization Output Module is an analog addressable device that connects a supervised
output circuit to a 24 Vdc riser. The output wiring is monitored for open circuits and short cir-
cuits. A short circuit will cause the fire alarm control panel to inhibit the activation of the audible/
GSA-CC1S
visual signal circuit so the riser is not connected to the wiring fault. Upon command from the
loop controller, the Auto-Sync Output Module connects the output circuit to the riser input. GSA-MCC1S

ring that protects the detector sensor against the effects of explosions and other catastrophic
events. The retaining ring mounts securely to a companion junction box, which offers several
common port configurations for conduit connection. Together, the ring and box provide a
sturdy protective shell for the detector head.

Hazardous Location Strobes
Class I, II, or III locations
116DEGEX-FJ hazardous location strobes are life safety signaling appliances designed for installation in
hazardous environments. State-of-the-art technology provide for high visual output and low maintenance.
The 116DEGEX-FJ has negligible in-rush current. When pendant, wall or ceiling mounted, the 116DEGEX-
FJ meets or exceeds the requirements of UL 1971 Signaling Appliance for the Hearing Impaired.

Door Holders
Electromagnetic Door Holders
Electromagnetic door holders keep doors open until signaled by the fire alarm
system, a heat detector, a smoke detector, or an electrical switch. Door holders
should be installed wherever doors may be effectively used to confine smoke
and fire, or where the release of a self-closing door from a remote location
is required. Fail-safe operation is an inherent feature of these door holders. If
power fails, doors are released automatically, but may be opened or closed

Relays
Four-Voltage SPDT/DPDT Control Relays
MR Series multi-voltage control relays are ideal for applications where local contacts are
required for system status, remote contacts, or for control of electrical loads and general pur-
pose switching. They are suitable for use with HVAC temperature control, fire alarm, security,
energy management, and lighting control systems. Relays provide 10-Amp contacts, which

may be operated by one of four input control voltages. Each relay position contains a red
LED that indicates the relay coil is energized. Relays may be snapped apart from a standard
four-module assembly and used independently.

SPDT Relays
Single-pull/double-throw relays are ideal for applications where local or remote con-
tacts are required for control of electrical loads. They are suitable for use with HVAC,
temperature control, fire alarm, security, energy management, and lighting control
systems. Each relay position contains a high-intensity LED which, when illuminated,
indicates the relay coil is energized. Individual relay circuits may be snapped apart
from standard four- or eight-position modules, and are also available in a single-circuit
configuration. The common power to each relay position is bussed on the printed
wiring board, which permits power to be connected only once per multi-position
module.
Single-Voltage Manual Override Relays

MR-600 series relays provide SPDT, 10-Amp contacts with manual override capability by means of an ON-AUTO-OFF
switch. The relay requires a 24Vac or 24Vdc power source supplied by the controlling system. With the switch in the ON
position the power relay is energized. With the switch in the AUTO position the relay is allowed to operate as signaled
by the controlling system. With the switch in the OFF position the relay cannot be energized.
