Battery Sets
The FS-250 control panel is designed to use only sealed lead-acid or equivalent batteries
for back-up power. Attaching a close-coupled battery box, if required, may allow use of
battery sets beyond the physical capacity of the enclosure (12 AH for the FS-250).
Maximum battery charging capacity for the FS-250 is 38.5 AH.
AUXILIARY MODULES
Serial LCD Annunciator
The FS-RD2 Serial LCD Annunciator consists of a backlit 80 character LCD alphanumeric
display, 4 menu buttons, 4 dedicated buttons for operator interaction, 6 LED indicators, and
a security key-switch. The display and controls on the annunciator are the same as those
on the front of the control panel, including a key-switch for security. The backlight operates
only when the data are being accessed, to conserve power. Up to sixteen annunciators
may be addressed by the communications circuit, but some may require additional PAD-3
auxiliary power supplies, depending on the total accessory power loading.
Serial Relay Unit and Serial Relay Extender
The FS-RU2 Serial Relay Unit includes a processor board and a relay board. The
processor board receives commands from the control panel for activating the relays and
transmits supervision and control functions to the control panel. The processor board can
control up to 3 relay boards. Each relay board provides 8 relays with Form C contacts. The
control panel can address up to 8 Serial Relay Units and/or Serial Annunciator Units. PAD-
3 auxiliary power supplies will be required to power units beyond the control panel
capability.
Serial Annunciator Unit and Serial Annunciator Extender
The FS-SAU2 Serial Annunciator Unit includes a processor board and an annunciator
driver board. The processor board receives commands from the control panel for activating
the outputs and transmits supervision and control functions to the control panel. The
processor board can control up to 4 annunciator driver boards. Each driver board provides
16 supervised outputs for LEDs or incandescent lamps. The control panel can address up
to 8 Serial Relay Units and/or Serial Annunciator Units. PAD-3 auxiliary power supplies will
be required to power units beyond the control panel capability.
PAD-3 Remote Signal Expander
The PAD-3 is a notification appliance circuit expander with a built-in auxiliary power output.
This power source is designed to provide power for notification appliances, door holders
and 4-wire smoke detectors. The PAD-3 provides 6 amps of 24 VDC power for multiple
uses. All 6 amps can be directed to 4 Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). Each is rated
at 3 amps and is power limited. Either 1 or 2 inputs can control the four outputs. These
outputs are compatible with Siemens notification appliances.
The PAD-3 can be configured so that the inputs can be programmed to provide steady
outputs, ANSI temporal outputs, or Siemens SYNC protocol for synchronized horn/strobe
