Edwards (BPS6A/230) 6.5 amp booster power supply – 220v

The Edwards BPS6A/230 is a 6.5-amp booster power supply for 220-240 Vac mains. Specifically, it provides supervised 24 Vdc power for notification appliance circuits. As a result, a fire alarm panel can drive additional horns, strobes, and speakers.

This supply is UL 864 9th Edition listed. Therefore it is approved for fire alarm system expansion. Furthermore, it also carries security, access control, and mass-notification listings.

Edwards BPS6A/230 Power Output

The supply provides four Class B NACs, each rated 3 A at 24 Vdc. Also, the four circuits can be converted to two Class A NACs by jumper. Furthermore, total system current cannot exceed 6.5 A across all NACs. In addition, a 200 mA 24 Vdc auxiliary output supports internal activation modules.

Signal Synchronization

The BPS6A/230 generates Genesis and Enhanced Integrity strobe synchronization. Therefore connected strobes flash in unison without a separate sync module. Also, it supports 3-3-3 temporal and continuous output rates. Specifically, California rate is available on the BPS6CAA variant.
