NOTIFIER XP6-C-A Six Circuit Supervised Control Module

General

NOTIFIER’s XP6-C six-circuit supervised control module provides intelligent alarm systems with supervised monitoring of wiring to load devices that require an external power supply to operate, such as horns, strobes, or bells. Each module is intended for switching applications involving AC DC or audio, which require wiring supervision. Upon command from the control panel, the XP6-C will disconnect the supervision and connect the external power supply across the load device. The first module is addressed from 01 to 154 while the remaining modules are automatically assigned to the next five higher addresses. Each XP6-C module has terminals for connection to an external supply circuit for powering devices on its notification appliance circuit (NAC). One or multiple power supplies or amplifiers may be used.

NOTE: Provisions are included for disabling a maximum of three unused addresses. Each XP6-C module features a short-circuit-protection monitor to protect the external power supply against short-circuit conditions on the NAC. When an alarm condition occurs, the relay which connects the external supply to the NAC will not be allowed to close if a short-circuit condition currently exists on the NAC. Additionally, an algorithm is incorporated to find shorts when the module is active. The XP6-C module will close all circuits that are not shorted to find the NAC with the problem. Each XP6-C module has panel- controlled green LED indicators. The panel can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. The SYNC-1 accessory card provides the XP6-C with additional functionality with compatible System Sensor® SpectrAlert® and SpectrAlert Advance® audio/visual devices.

Features

Six addressable Style B (Class B) or three addressable Style D (Class A) outputs that function as notification appliance/speaker/telephone circuits.

Status indicators for each point.
Unused addresses may be disabled (up to 3).
Rotary address switches.
FlashScan® or CLIP operation.
Optional SYNC-1 accessory card for SpectrAlert and SpectrAlert Advance devices.
Mount one or two modules in a BB-XP cabinet (optional).
Mount up to six modules on a CHS-6 chassis in a CAB-3 Series, CAB-4 Series, EQ Series, or BB-25 cabinet (optional).
Mounting hardware included.

Compatible devices: See the documentation for your panel, and the NOTIFER Device Compatibility document. Contact NOTIFER. See also list of devices compatible with SYNC-1 below.

SYNC-1 Accessory Card

The SYNC-1 accessory card is designed to operate with the XP6-C. It works with the SpectrAlert and the SpectrAlert Advance series of horns, strobes, and horn/strobes to provide a means of synchronizing the temporal-coded horns; synchronizing the one-second flash timing of the strobe; and silencing the horns of the horn/strobe combination over a two-wire circuit while leaving the strobes active. Each SYNC-1 accessory card is capable of synchronizing six Class B circuits or three Class A circuits.

Maximum load on a loop: 3 A.
Operating temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C).
Wire size: 12 to 18 AWG (3.31 to 0.821 mm²).
Operating voltage range: 11 to 30 VDC FWR, filtered or unfiltered. Refer to notification appliance installation instructions for number of notification appliances and wire size.
Compatible A/V devices: The SYNC-1 Accessory Card is compatible with all System Sensor SpectrAlert and SpectrAlert Advance Audio Visual Devices that have synchronization capability. Other manufacturers may be supported as well. Please refer to the latest Device Compatibility Document, PN 15378.

NOTE: *SpectrAlert and SpectrAlert Advance products utilizing SYNC-1 module below.
