Troubleshooting made More Efficient With Networked NAC Power Extenders
Fire systems are mandatory in all commercial buildings as well as residential units. Most fire alarm panels are limited to the amount of power they can deliver, so supplemental power supplies are often needed to power notification appliances circuits (NAC). Installers who are not very familiar with fire systems may think that any power supply with enough current and the right voltage settings can fulfill the need for supplementary power, but that’s not always the case.
Synchronization protocols established by fire system product manufacturers are one of the main features supplementary NAC power extenders must provide. These protocols ensure that emergency strobe lights are all synchronized and flash simultaneously. This is critical, as individuals with epilepsy could suffer from seizures if the strobes are out of sync.
