GE Security EBPS6A 6.5 A Booster Power Supply

The Remote Booster Power Supply provides additional power for audible and visual devices helping remove system capacity or site application constraints. The booster may also be used to power auxiliary, access control and security devices, in addition to fire devices. Fault conditions detected by the EBPS will open the main panel’s NAC. This initiates a trouble condition and eliminates the need to wire a separate trouble contact back to the control panel. During alarm condition, detected faults are overridden and the main panel’s default configuration is continuous 24 Vdc on all NACs typically used to drive visual devices. On board trouble contact is supplied for applications requiring trouble contact monitoring. The booster power supply provides the capability to maximize available power by being able to supply power for multiple services including Access Control, Security and Fire. For security applications, space is provided to mount a tamper switch in the cabinet. When used for Fire Alarm notification with Genesis Notification appliances, the booster provides the ability to synchronize strobes as well as horn signals. The booster flexibility allows synchronization with upstream devices, or, the booster may be used to synchronize downstream devices, as well as other boosters and their connected devices. Up to 10 boosters deep may be configured while maintaining strobe synchronization. EBPS notification appliance circuits easily configure for either of two signaling rates: 3-3-3 temporal or continuous. California rate is also available on certain models. This makes the EBPS ideal for applications requiring signaling rates not available from the main panel. It also allows independent setup of a notification appliance circuit without interfering with the main panel and its initiating circuits. In addition to the generated signal rates, the EBPS can also be configured to follow the signal rate of the main panel’s notification appliance circuit. This allows seamless expansion of existing NACs. The EBPS includes seven on-board LED indicators: one for each resident NAC; one for battery supervision; one for ground fault; and, one for ac power. The trouble contact has a sixteen second delay when an ac power failure or brownout condition is detected. This reduces the reporting of troubles during short duration ac brownouts. NAC configuration options include: ac power fail delay (16 seconds or 6 hours); sensing input to NAC output correlations; and, auxiliary outputs. All NACs are configurable as auxiliary outputs. Auxiliary outputs can be always on, or off after 30 seconds without ac power. As auxiliary output, the booster may power access control and security devices. Should an overcurrent occur, the booster automatically opens the circuit. The booster automatically restores the circuit when the overcurrent is removed. Jumpers configure the EBPS for Class A or Class B wiring.
