HPFF8 NAC Expander/Power Supply Description The Gamewell-FCI, HPFF8 is a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) expansion panel designed to extend the power capabilities of existing NACs and provide power for the auxiliary devices. The HPFF8 connects to any 12 or 24V Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) or stand alone. The HPFF8 is available in 8.0 amps. It provides regulated and filtered 24VDC power to each of the four NACs and an auxiliary output. The NAC outputs are rated at 3.0 amps each (the total output cannot exceed 8.0 amps). The auxiliary output is rated at 2.0 amps. This output is continuously supplied, even in alarm, and therefore must be taken into account for power supply loading and battery size calculations. The NAC outputs may be configured as any of the following: • Four Class B (Style Y) • Two Class A (Style Z) • Two Class B and one Class A • Four Class A with the optional HPP31076 Class A adapter installed These power supplies contain an internal Battery charger capable of charging up to 26.0 amp-hour (AH) batteries. The HPFF8 is mounted in lockable wall cabinet units that can accommodate up to two (2), 18AH batteries. A multipack option allows for up to four chassis mount units installed in a single lockable SBB-D4 enclosure. These chassis mount units have a "CM" suffix, HPFF8CM and can accommodate two 12AH batteries. Power supplies are available in either 120VAC/60 Hz or 240VAC/50 Hz. One of the most challenging aspects of a retrofit application is locating the existing End-of-Line (EOL) resistor. In these applications that have EOL values, other than the 3.9k normally used with the HPFF8, a single resistor matching the existing EOL can be used as a reference for all the outputs. This feature speeds the installation and the system checkout, because the actual EOL does not need to be located and changed in the circuit. The reference resistor must be within the range of 1.9k to 25k.
