4. Wire Gauge Chart
*When calculating voltage drop, use 1A as the
recommended current draw for the BEACON
• Accepts alarm signal from either dry contact relay or 24VDC from the Notification Appliance Circuit
(
NAC) of a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
• Low current draw 30mA @ 24VDC in Standby Mode, 900mA max @24VDC in Alarm Mode ensures long
operation time on back-up batteries. Power supply required; 24VDC, 1.0 amp, filtered and regulated.
• Test mode and diagnostic trouble reporting for ease of installation and periodic functional checks
• Customizable functionality through on-board adjustment of dip switch and NAC/CC slide switch settings
• Centralized control from fire alarm control panel (FACP) with silence and reset commands
• AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) needs to authorize setup

4. Beacon is equipped with a Class IIIa 5mW max output power (Green) laser.
Warning: Do NOT stare into laser beam.
BEACON exit devices are supplied with one 4-pin and one
8-pin Molex® connector harness, allowing simple installation
using the ASSA ABLOY ElectroLynx® system.
NOTE: For wire locations and positions, see
wiring examples later in this document.
