NAC Synchronization

The Elite XT / Sigma A-XT Releasing Fire Control Panel

supports special application outputs of NAC 1 and NAC 2
when operating:
 Amseco NAC devices with Amseco synchronization
modules
 Gentex NAC devices with Gentex synchronization modules
 System Sensor NAC devices with System Sensor
synchronization modules
 Wheelock NAC devices with Wheelock synchronization
modules

NAC channels 1 and 2 of the Elite XT / Sigma A-XT Releasing

Fire Control Panel provide single and dual circuit
synchronization. Single circuit synchronization provides a
synchronized output on one channel of two NAC channels.
Dual circuit synchronization provides a synchronized output on
NAC 1 and NAC 2.

Maximum Current

A maximum current of 1.5 Amps is available for powering

NAC 1, NAC 2 and NAC 3 when a maximum load of 500 mA
exists on any one of the NAC outputs.

Notification Appliance Circuit
The following statements for NAC synchronization are
necessary for UL qualification and exclude device-loading
combinations that are common in most FACP installations:

Amseco NAC 1 and NAC 2 of the Elite XT / Sigma A-XT

Releasing Fire Control Panel can each operate
a maximum of seven Amseco SL-1224 strobes
when configured for 15cd outputs and
synchronized with an Amseco SMD10-3A
synchronization module.

Releasing Fire Control Panel can each operate
a maximum of six Gentex GES3-24 strobes
when configured for 15cd outputs and
synchronized with a Gentex AVSM
synchronization module.

Notification Appliance Circuit
NAC outputs of the Elite XT / Sigma A-XT Releasing Fire
Control Panel are not limited by conditions other than the
maximum rated current threshold. NAC outputs of the Elite XT /
Sigma A-XT Releasing Fire Control Panel can operate
combinations of VES authorized NAC devices as long as the
circuit load does not exceed 500 mA.
Reference manufacturer data sheets for individual device loads
and then total the loads to determine if the sum exceeds the
500 mA threshold of each NAC output.
