FireForce 9 Features • Provides two fully-supervised input/ control circuits (9 – 32 VDC). NAC Expander/Power Supply • Multiple sync protocols, compatible with the following appliances: CooperWheelock, Faraday, System Sensor, and Gentex — as field-selectable options. • Four configurable supervised NAC outputs. Description g2498ph1.jpg The FireForce 9 (FF9) from Gamewell is a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) extender panel designed to extend the power capabilities of existing NACs and provide power (3.0 A maximum) for other ancillary devices. The FF9 will connect to any brand of ULListed Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to provide Notification Appliance Circuit expansion. Designed with advanced switchmode power-supply technology, the FireForce 9 provides filtered and electronically-regulated power distributed to four NACs. Each NAC is rated at 3.0 Amp maximum, with a total output capacity of 9.0 Amp. The outputs may be configured as: four Class B (Style W, X, Y); or two Class A (Style Z); or two Class B and one Class A. The FF9 includes an internal battery charger. Gamewell’s FF9 provides independent output circuit supervision. In the event of a NAC fault, the FF9 can be configured to notify the FACP. The FF9 has field-selectable, built-in strobe and horn sync protocols. Protocols support Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, and Cooper-Wheelock devices; or pass through a pre-generated sync protocol from a single synchronization source. This eliminates the need for additional individual sync modules. Independent horn silencing via sync protocol allows synchronized horns and strobes to operate on a single circuit. Engineer’s Specifications The Fire Alarm System shall be designed with remotely located Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Expander/Power Supplies for the support of notification appliances. The remote Power Supplies shall be fully supervised and shall provide 9.0 Amps of notification appliance power and auxiliary power output. The NAC Extender Panel shall be able to select strobe synchronization protocol via an internal dip switch. There shall be five selectable protocols available. The NAC Extender Panel shall synchronize all outputs simultaneously. The internal battery charging circuit shall charge up to 33 AH batteries. The NAC Expander/Power Supply shall be a Gamewell FireForce 9.
