by Rebecca Walker — Oct. 12, 2008—Honeywell Power Products has created a unique power supply that eliminates the time-consuming task of locating a fire systems’ EOL (end-of-line) resistor during retrofit installations.
The FF8’s (FireForce 8) variable EOL matching feature allows a resistor to be installed on the power supply, acting as a reference for all outputs. This feature stands to save fire alarm installers countless hours of searching behind numerous notification devices for the EOL resistor, says the company.
The FF8 connects to virtually any brand of fire alarm control panel to extend the power capabilities of up to four NACs (notification appliance circuits). Ancillary fire devices can also be powered by this unit. With a total output capacity of 8 amps, Honeywell’s FF8 delivers a maximum of 3 amps per NAC.
