APS-6R
6.0 Amp Auxilary Power Supply
Power Supplies
DN-5952:A1 • E-121
GENERAL
The APS-6R is a state-of-the-art, 150 watt, switching auxiliary
power supply providing 24 VDC of filtered DC power. The
APS-6R provides two 24 VDC output circuits, each rated for
3.0 Amps in alarm and 2.0 Amps continuous. It is used for the
operation of peripheral audible/visual devices (alarm signaling
appliances) for the NOTIFIER AM2020, AFP1010, NFS-3030,
NFS-640, AFP-400, AFP-300, AFP-200, System 5000, and
System 500 control panels.
FEATURES
• Lightweight, compact design.
• “Off-line” switching technology.
• Forward topology.
• Unique design — magnetic flux-sensed converter elimi-
nates need for opto-coupler feedback.
• 120 or 240 VAC (@ 50/60 Hz) field-selectable.
• Wide input voltage range: 90 – 132 VAC, 180 – 264 VAC.
• High efficiency.
• Output circuits with overload protection.
• Built-in “brown-out” circuitry.
• Diagnostic trouble LED.
• Plug-in connector for in cabinet applications and screw ter-
minals for remote device applications.
• Shares battery and charger circuit with control panel.
• Power-limited design, per UL requirements.
• Surface-mount technology conserves panel space.
• AC Fail supervision with field-selectable delay per UL 864.
• Heavy-duty clamp-type terminals accept up to 12 AWG (3.1
mm²) wire.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
When used with the CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series (CAB-A3/-A4, -
B3/-B4, -C3/-C4, or -D3/-D4), the APS-6R mounts to a CHS-4
or CHS-4L mounting chassis. If more than one APS-6R is nec-
essary to satisfy Audible/Visual (DC) power requirements, con-
nect additional APS-6R power supplies together as described
in the Installation Instruction Manual. When used with the
AFP-200, the APS-6R mounts in the lower portion of the cabi-
net where batteries would normally mount (BB-17 required).
When used with the System 500, only one APS-6R may be
mounted in the right-most position in the cabinet.
Underwriters Laboratories requires that all Signaling Appli-
ances be approved for use with the selected control system
due to voltage operating range criteria. Use only those appli-
ances listed for use with the associated control system. Refer
to Device Compatibility Document #15378.

CABINETS FOR MOUNTING
CAB-3/CAB-4 Series: Use CHS-4 and CHS-4L chassis, for
AM2020, AFP1010, NFS-3030, NFS-640, AFP-400, AFP-300,
and System 5000 control panels.
System 500: Can mount one APS-6R if the face module
expansion card (such as an ICE-4) is not installed.
