Description

The FireForce 6 (FF6) from

Gamewell is a Notification Appli-

ance 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 FF6 will

connect to any brand of UL-Listed

Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to

provide Notification Appliance

Circuit expansion.

Designed with advanced switch-

mode power-supply technology, the

FireForce 6 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 6.0 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 FF6 includes an internal battery charger.

Gamewell’s FF6 provides independent output circuit supervision. In the

event of a NAC fault, the FF6 can be configured to notify the FACP. The

FF6 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 6.0 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 6.

Features

• Provides two fully-supervised input/

control circuits (9 – 32 VDC).

• Multiple sync protocols, compatible with

the following appliances: Cooper-

Wheelock, Faraday, System Sensor, and

Gentex — as field-selectable options.
