Power Supplies (PSU) For Fire Detection, Alarm and Fire Protection Systems The K25000 range of 24V DC power supplies K25000 power supplies can be fitted with an optional are designed to meet the exacting requirements dual output board to provide redundant power paths of fire detection and alarm systems, and fire for fire alarm applications, and are available in a protection systems. range of enclosures to accommodate different battery sizes. These part numbers are prefixed with KD. All models charge sealed lead acid batteries using sophisticated, temperature compensated charging and monitoring techniques to keep the batteries in the best possible condition. Over depletion of batteries is prevented by a low battery voltage disconnection function which removes the load from the batteries when their terminal voltage reduces to a level which would damage them. A low battery voltage fault warning is given when the batteries reach the minimum terminal voltage recommended by the battery manufacturers. A high series resistance in the battery supply circuit, which would allow the power supply output voltage to fall outside of the specified range, is indicated as a fault condition. 4520

Miscellaneous Items Relay Boards Easy to fit and wire for additional control functions or to expand the capability of existing relay outputs, these simple boards contains either one or four 24V DC relays, which can be used for any extra-low voltage switching applications. Each relay has two changeover contacts, and an LED indicator to show when the coil is energised. The coils of the relays are common to the positive supply and the relays can be operated individually by switching a negative to the numbered coil inputs. The contacts are suitable for switching a maximum of 30V DC and 2 Amps. The current consumption of the unit when operated from a 24V supply is approximately 25mA per relay. 55
Audio Visual A range of indicator units with either red or yellow indicators to provide an audible and visual status of alarms, isolations or other functions. These units are available with a keyswitch to silence the internal buzzer or a keyswitch to illuminate the indicator and buzzer. A volt-free contact is provided when the keyswitch is operated for ancillary control functions. The units are mounted in a durable steel enclosure that has the same plate fixing centres as a standard UK single gang electrical box, enabling the unit to be easily flush mounted if required. Remote Indicator Unit Remote Indicator Units provide an extension for LED indicators on hidden detection devices to allow their status to be observed without having to expose the detection device itself. All units have dual, bright LED indicators with a wide viewing angle that flash alternately to attract attention, and are available mounted to square or round metal plates for fitting to standard electrical back boxes. They are finished in white, durable epoxy powder and printed in red with ‘FIRE ALARM IN CONCEALED SPACE’. Other printing options are available upon request. Remote indicators are compatible with all types of conventional and addressable detectors. 56
Miscellaneous Items Warning Signs Powered by a nominal 24V DC supply, the illuminated warning signs employ the very latest in LED technology to provide a high reliability, high brightness, audio/ visual warning indication unit to supplement mandatory alarm warnings. The brightness of the sign remains constant over its entire operating range of 15 to 30 volts DC due to the unique ‘power boost’ circuitry employed. This ensures that even with a system running on depleted batteries, all signs remain at full intensity. A range of standard text signs are available and fully customised text and languages are easily accommodated. The large display panel is backlit with high intensity white LEDs to provide a high contrast indication in a range of different colours. A split-level function allows the top and bottom halves of the sign to be illuminated independently via separate inputs or by reversing the supply voltage, enabling two-stage messages to be displayed if required. The internal buzzer can be enabled or disabled via configuration switches and it can be silenced via a two-wire remote input. The enclosure is slimline and attractively finished in a durable, neutral epoxy powder coat. 57
