CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL UNIT
FA-1008KADS
Description
Mircom’s FA-1008KADS Fire Alarm Control Unit is a microprocessor based unit
designed for maximum flexibility and easy installation. Fully configurable
from the front panel using the push buttons and DIP switches, it enables the
user to configure the system to meet their specific requirements.
The FA-1008KADS consists of one MCC-1024-6ADS Main Chassis in a UB-1024DS back
box with a DOX1024DS door. The MCC-1024-6ADS Main Chassis comes complete with
8 Class B (Style B) Initiating Circuits which may be configured as 4 Class A
(Style D) Circuits. It can be expanded up to 24 Class B or 12 Class A circuits
with the addition of the DM1008A Initiating Circuit Module. In addition it
comes equipped with 4 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) Indicating circuits which are each
rated at 1.7 Amps. The Main Chassis also includes a 6 Amp Power Supply which
powers the system and supplies two 4-wire resettable regulated smoke power
supply of 24 VDC 200mA maximum each.
The MCC-1024-6ADS also allows for the addition of two SGM-1004A Signal Modules
or two RM-1008A Relay modules in place of the DM-1008A Initiating Circuit
Adder Modules. (Maximum of 3 Adder modules) The backbox provides space for up
to 18 AH Gel Cell batteries.
