Application Dimensions
The MIRBPS provides additional power and circuits for notification
appliances and other 24 Vdc loads. It is listed for indoor dry loca-
tions and can easily be installed where needed. D5
Top View
Fault conditions are indicated on the on-board diagnostic LEDs,
opening the MIRBPS input sense circuit and the trouble relay (if D2 D3
programmed). While this provides indication to the host system,
the MIRBPS can still be activated upon command. A separate AC
Fail contact is available on the MIRBPS circuit board, which can D4
be programmed for trouble or AC Fail. There are seven on-board

diagnostic LEDs: one for each NAC fault, one for battery fault, one Front View
for ground fault, and one for AC power.
The unique dual-input activation circuits of the MIRBPS can be
activated by any voltage from 6 to 45 VDC (filtered-regulated) or

can be configured to activate 1-4 of the four possible outputs. The
second input circuit can be configured to control circuits 3 and 4. All knockouts
When outputs are configured for auxiliary operation, these circuits for 3/4 in conduit
can be configured to stay on or automatically deactivate 30 sec- (1.9 cm)
onds after AC power is lost. This feature makes these circuits ideal
for door holder applications. The MIRBPS also has a separate 200
mA 24 Vdc output that can be used to power internal activation
modules.

MIRBPS NACs can be configured for a 3-3-3 temporal or continu-
ous output. This makes the MIRBPS ideal for applications requir- 17.0 in 3.5 in 13.0 in 6.5 in 3.375 in 12.0 in
ing signaling rates that are not available from the main system. (43.2 cm) (8.9 cm) (33.0 cm) (16.5 cm) (8.6 cm) (30.4 cm)

In addition to the internally generated signal rates, the MIRBPS

can also be configured to follow the coded signal rate of the main
system NACs. This allows for the seamless expansion of existing Wire routing
NACs.
The MIRBPS enclosure has mounting brackets for up to three
Signature modules to the right of the circuit board.

Engineering Specification
Supply, where needed, Kidde MIRBPS Series Booster Power Sup-
plies (MIRBPS) that are interconnected to and supervised by the
main system. The MIRBPS shall function as a stand-alone auxiliary
power supply with its own fully-supervised battery compliment.
The MIRBPS battery compliment shall be sized to match the
requirements of the main system. The MIRBPS shall be capable
of supervising and charging batteries having the capacity of 24
ampere-hours for Mass Notification/Emergency Communication
(MNEC) and life safety applications.
<<The MIRBPS shall be capable of installation for a seismic com-
ponent Importance Factor of 1.5.>> The MIRBPS shall provide
a minimum of four independent, fully supervised Class B circuits
that can be field configurable for notification appliance circuits or
auxiliary 24 Vdc power circuits. MIRBPS NACs shall be convertible
to a minimum of two Class A NACs. Each MIRBPS output circuit
shall be rated at 3 amperes at 24 Vdc. Each output circuit shall
be provided with automatically restoring overcurrent protection. Notes
The MIRBPS shall be operable from the main system NAC and/or 1. Maintain 1/4-inch (6 mm) spacing between power-limited and nonpower-limited
