Altronix FIRESWITCH108V Managed NAC Extender 220V
Overview
The Altronix FIRESWITCH108V is a managed Network Annunciator Control (NAC) extender designed to expand the output capacity of fire alarm control panels (FACPs). It takes a 220VAC input and provides a 10A, 24VDC regulated output, suitable for powering multiple notification appliances like horns and strobes. This unit is ideal for large installations where the FACP's native NAC output is insufficient, ensuring compliance with signaling requirements in commercial and industrial facilities.
Compatibility
The FIRESWITCH108V is designed to integrate with standard fire alarm control panels that provide a 220VAC input for auxiliary power. It functions as a standalone NAC expansion module, requiring only a 220VAC power source and connection to the FACP's signaling circuit. It is compatible with a wide range of notification appliance manufacturers, provided the total current draw does not exceed the 10A output rating.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a qualified fire alarm technician. The unit must be installed in a UL Listed enclosure. Wiring must comply with NFPA 72 and local codes. The 220VAC input must be properly fused and switched. The unit monitors AC power and output trouble conditions, reporting them back to the FACP via its auxiliary output. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
