FAQs
Can I link multiple call points to one NC943B?
Yes, the NC943B is designed to act as a central controller for various ancillaries on a single zone circuit.
Is this system waterproof?
The controller panel itself is not waterproof and must be installed in a dry interior location, though compatible water-resistant alert points can be used in bathrooms.
What is the function of the relay output?
The volt-free relay output allows you to trigger external hardware, such as an additional sounder or an existing fire/security system, when an alarm is triggered.
Does this panel require a battery backup?
The unit includes a regulated 12V power supply; however, users requiring battery backup should evaluate external UPS solutions if local power stability is a concern.
Can I expand this to more than one zone later?
No, the NC943B is a single-zone controller. If your requirements grow to include multiple zones, you would need to upgrade to a multi-zone C-Tec 800 Series controller.
Troubleshooting
Sounder is not active when a call is initiated
Check the volume setting on the control panel to ensure it has not been set to the minimum position.
System will not reset after an alert
Verify that the triggering call point has been deactivated and check the wiring connections between the call point and the controller.
Power indicator light is off
Check the main AC power supply and ensure the internal regulated 12V supply is correctly wired and fused.
