by Rebecca Walker — March 22, 2010—Honeywell Power Products has introduced a 12-amp fire alarm power supply, designed for large-system installers. The HPFF12 is Honeywell’s largest fire power supply, capable of powering a fire alarm’s four NACs (notification appliance circuits) to full capacity, says the company.
This powerful yet compact unit is ideal for installations utilizing higher-power strobes or facing limited wall space for multiple supplies. For even larger installations, the HPFF12CM (chassis mount) version holds up to three HPFF12 supplies with two 12AH batteries per supply in one compact, lockable enclosure.
According to Honeywell Power Products’ General Manager, Gene Pecora, a fire alarm power supply of this size is a rarity. “Fire systems are growing, becoming more sophisticated and as result, are mandating more power. The HPFF12 was created primarily to help dealers overcome power constraints and space limitation issues. As far as we know, it’s the biggest NAC power supply currently on the market.” The HPFF12 shares the same fast installation and maintenance features as Honeywell’s HPFF8 eight-amp fire alarm power supply. Independent output circuit supervision enables both to notify an attached control panel of a NAC fault in addition to displaying past NAC troubles stored by its convenient trouble memory feature. These diagnostics help technicians save time in the investigation of recurring troubles and prevent future false alarms.
