Installation Manual: PAD100-NAC NAC Module
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the
PAD100-NAC module. This module is only compatible with addressable fire
systems that utilize the PAD Addressable Protocol.
All terminals are power limited and should be wired in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code). Failure
to follow the wiring diagrams in the following pages will cause the system to
not operate as intended. For further information, refer to the control panel
installation instructions.
The module shall only be installed with listed control panels. Refer to the
control panel installation manual for proper system operation.
Description
The PAD100-NAC module uses one (1) SLC loop address on an SLC loop. The module
provides a programmable source of power to supervise and control one (1) Class
B or Class A Notification or one (1) Class B Releasing circuit. The module
requires and supervises a 24 VDC auxiliary power connection. The module mounts
on either an UL Listed 2-1/2″ deep 2-gang box or 1-1/2″ deep 4″ square box.
The PAD100-NAC includes one red LED to indicate the module’s status. In normal
condition, the LED flashes when the device is being polled by the control
panel. If the LED blink has been disabled via the programming software, in a
normal condition the LED of the device will be off.
Setting the Address
All PAD protocol detectors and modules require an address prior to connection to the panel’s SLC loop. Each PAD device’s address (i.e., detector and/or module) is set by changing the dip switches located on the device. PAD device addresses are comprised of a seven (7) position dip switch used to program each device with an address ranging from 1–127.
Note: Each “gray” box indicates that the dip switch is “On,” and each
“white” box indicates “Off.”
The examples shown below illustrate a PAD device’s dip switch settings: the
1st example shows a device not addressed where all dip switch settings are in
the default “Off” position, the 2nd illustrates an addressed PAD device via
the dip switch settings.
Before connecting a device to the SLC loop, take the following precautions to prevent potential damage to the SLC or device.
- Power to the SLC is removed.
- Field wiring on module is correctly installed.
- Field wiring has no open or short circuits.

Installation
The wiring diagrams shown below illustrate how to wire a PAD100-NAC module as Class B, Class A and as a Releasing application. Additionally, an installation diagram shows how to install the module using a compatible electrical box.
Notes:
- SLC wiring style supports the Class A, Class X and Class B.
- NAC wiring style supports Class A and Class B.
- Wiring for terminals (PWR) are supervised.
- SLC loop wiring (SLC+, SLC-) and NAC device wiring (RET, OUT) are power limited.
- Wiring for terminals SLC+, SLC- are supervised.
- Wiring for terminals (RET, OUT) are supervised.
- All wiring is between #12 (max.) and #22 (min.).
- Wire Preparation – Strip all wires 1/4 inch from their edges as shown here:
– Stripping too much insulation may cause a ground fault.
– Stripping too little may cause a poor connection and subsequently an open circuit.
NOTICE
It is possible that the internal relay in the PAD100-NAC may be shipped in the
non-normal / activated state. To ensure that the internal relay is set to the
normal state, connect the module to the SLC loop and reset the control panel
before terminating the wiring to the module’s output.
These instructions do not purport to cover all the details or variations in
the equipment described, nor provide for every possible contingency to be met
in connection with installation, operation and maintenance.
