The NFPA system consists of the SBII+ signal
booster unit as well as the optional battery backup
unit. An NFPA compliant signal booster system is
designed to easily interface to fire alarm panels.
Five alarms are provided including SB Failure,
Loss of AC Power, Low Battery Capacity, Charge
Fail, and Antenna Malfunction. These five alarm
functions are available at the terminal contacts
shown in figure 9. Figure 10 is a close up view of
the terminal identification sticker attached to the
inside of the front door for customer convenience.
The terminals provide a common access point to
the alarm signal relay contacts. Available alarm
functions include;
SB Failure - this is a summed alarm that is active
when any number of fault conditions arise within
the booster unit such as when an over current or
high temperature event occurs.
Loss of AC Power - indicates that AC power to the
booster unit has failed.
Low Battery Capacity - the source of this alarm is
the battery backup unit and it indicates that the bat-
tery backup voltage level has dropped significantly.
Charge Fail - the source of this alarm is the battery
backup unit and it indicates failure of the battery
charger. If the battery charger looses AC power
this alarm will be active. It will also indicate when
the batteries will not properly charge.
Antenna Malfunction - indicates there is a loss of
cable connection integrity between the signal
booster unit and the remote antenna line sensor. In
order to detect an antenna malfunction an antenna
line sensor must be installed as close to the Donor
antenna as possible. This sensor allows the
Antenna Line Monitoring Unit inside the booster
cabinet to verify the continuity of the antenna line.
Refer to Figure 11. The sensor is waterproofed but
the connections to both the antenna and the
antenna feedline should be sealed to prevent water
entry. We recommend that the connections be
tightly and completely wrapped with rubber splicing
