1.2 Specifications
The AMPS-24 is comprised of two boards; the CPS-24 board (the smaller front board), and the AMPS-K2 (the larger rear board). See
Figure 1.1.
When AC power is lost, the deeply-discharged battery cutoff protection will be invoked at 17 volts. The power supply will be discon-
nected from the batteries. The power supply’s normal operation will be restored when AC power returns.
NOTE: The AMPS-24 can provide up to 3A for releasing applications, limited by the FCM-1-REL.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, when used in this manual, NFS2-3030 refers to both the NFS-3030 and NFS2-3030E
and AMPS-24 refers to both the AMPS-24 and AMPS-24E.

Certain system designs may require connecting two or four batteries to the power supply, connecting multiple power supplies to each
other, or connecting one set of batteries to multiple power supplies. Always use wire size 12-18 AWG (3.25 mm2– 0.75 mm2), and install
the power supply and the batteries in the appropriate enclosures, as described in Sections 2.4 and 2.5.

In addition to creating and opening databases on the PC’s local drive, modifications may be made to any AMPS-24 that is directly con-
nected to the PC with the PK-PPS programming utility. When PK-PPS is open and the PC is connected via the USB to a power supply,
that power supply is represented by the icon in the left window. Click on this icon to see the power supply’s current configuration and
version information.
Right-clicking on the AMPS-24 icon provides three work options:
SAVE Select this option to save the power supply’s current configuration as a database file (*.pdb) on the PC’s local drive.
MODIFY Select this option to edit the power supply’s current configuration. When all changes are made, the new database will
overwrite the one in the AMPS-24. The new database can also be saved to the local drive.
DOWNLOAD Select this option to download a database, application, or bootloader file to the power supply. See Section 3.2.5.

PKPPS Trouble.bmp
Trouble Reporting
Select the trouble reporting option.
Five Point Monitoring: When the power supply is configured for Five Point Monitoring (trouble reporting over the SLC), the panel
will report a trouble message beginning at the base SLC address. This selection must be made if the power supply is being used to
power a CPU2-3030 or as a remote power supply. Reporting at the base address (“Monitor General”) includes current limit,
hardware failure, trouble bus active, and CPS communication trouble. Refer to “SLC Addressing” on page 27.
When the power supply is configured for Five Point Monitoring, the panel displays a specific trouble message for AC Fail, Battery,
Earth Fault, and Charger Fail addresses (See Table 3.1).
In CLIP mode, the labels for the “Base + x” addresses must be entered manually. In FlashScan mode, device labeling is automatic.
US AC Fail Delay time: Make a selection (0, 2 HOURS, 8 HOURS, or 16 HOURS) from the drop-down menu.

Summary
The Summary screen displays all of your previous selections and the resulting SLC address consumption. Review this summary
screen before downloading and ensure that the proper number of consecutive addresses are reserved. You may use the BACK button
to edit any of your selections. Click the FINISH button to save your changes to the database.
3.3.2 Display
When the power supply is configured for 485 Trouble Reporting, the NCA-2 displays a system trouble for each specific trouble message
for each AMPS-24.
NOTE: AMPS-24/E revisions previous to the AMPS-K2 revision do not have the extra monitor point for Charger Fault. When
replacing a previous revision AMPS-24 with an AMPS-K2 version, remember to program the monitor point.

4.1.3 Calculating the Maximum Secondary Power Non-Fire Alarm Current Draw
Use the table below to determine the maximum current requirements of the secondary power source during non-fire alarm conditions.
The result obtained is the amount of current that the batteries must be able to supply to the fire alarm system. Use the result in Table 4.4
to determine the size of the batteries needed for the fire alarm system.
Results taken from the table below assume that, while in a non-fire alarm condition, batteries must feed the AMPS-24 (and any addi-
tional supplies) with the maximum rated power each supply can provide.

3. Batteries installed in a system powered by an automatic starting engine generator need to provide at least 4 hours of standby power.
4. Factory Mutual requires 90 hours of standby for deluge-preaction systems.
5. Emergency voice/alarm communications systems require 2 hours of operation in the alarm condition. Due to the sporadic nature of
voice operation, however, NFPA 72 permits 15 minutes of operation at a maximum connected load to equal 2 hours of normal use.
6. If the total exceeds 200 AH, an Uninterruptable Power Supply with sufficient amp-hour capacity is needed. The Uninterruptable
Power Supply must be UL-listed for Fire-Protective Signaling.
7. The following battery derating factors must be used for Canadian installations using an AMPS-24 charger:
• For 7 AH capacity, use derating factor of 1.1
• For 12 AH capacity, use derating factor of 1.2
• For 26 AH capacity, use derating factor of 1.2
• For 55 AH capacity, use derating factor of 1.8
• For 100 – 200 AH capacity, use derating factor of 2.5
4.2.2 Calculating the Battery Size
Use this table to choose the battery size, in amp-hours, needed to support the fire alarm system. The AMPS-24 can charge batteries from
7 to 200 AH. Select batteries that meet or exceed the Total Amp-Hours calculated in Table 4.4 and that are within the acceptable battery
charger range. Write the amp-hours requirements on the Protected Premises label.
