The APS2-6R is a state-of-the-art, 150 watt, switching auxiliary
power supply providing 24 VDC of filtered DC power. The APS2-
6R provides three 24 VDC output circuits, rated for 6.0 Amps in
alarm and 4.0 Amps continuous. It is used for the operation of
peripheral audible/visual devices (alarm signaling appliances) for
the Onyx Series control panels.
The APS2-6R can also be used with Legacy panels. Please refer
to the APS2-6R manual for more information.

Construction and Operation
When used with the CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series (CAB-A3/-A4, -B3/-
B4, -C3/-C4, or -D3/-D4 one to four tiers), the APS2-6R mounts to
a CHS-4 or CHS-4L mounting chassis. If more than one APS2-6R
is necessary to satisfy Audible/Visual (DC) power requirements,
connect additional APS2-6R power supplies together as described
in the Installation Instruction Manual #53232.
Underwriters Laboratories requires that all Signaling Appliances
be approved for use with the selected control system due to volt-
age operating range criteria. Use only those appliances listed for
use with the associated control system. Refer to Device Compati-
bility Document #15378.
