Wheelock PS-8-LP PowerPath Notification Power Supply – 8 Amp NAC Booster for Commercial Fire Alarm Notification Systems
$695.00

Wheelock PS-8-LP POWERPATH

The Wheelock PS-8-LP POWERPATH by Eaton is a supervised remote power supply and battery charger housed in a compact low-profile cabinet designed to drive and supervise fire alarm Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) with an additional 8 amps of regulated, filtered 24 VDC power distributed across four outputs. It connects to any 12 V or 24 V (FWR or DC) Fire Alarm Control Panel via a NAC input or a dry contact, making it a versatile NAC expansion and auxiliary power resource on nearly any modern FACP. Out of the box, it supports four Class B, two Class A, or a 2 Class B + 1 Class A combination; with the optional plug-in PS-EXP module, capacity climbs to eight Class B or four Class A NACs.

Features

  • 8 amps of filtered, regulated 24 VDC NAC power across 4 outputs
  • Supports 4 Class B or 2 Class A NACs (flexible configurations)
  • PS-EXP optional module expands to 8 Class B or 4 Class A NACs
  • Connects to 12 V or 24 V FACPs via NAC input or dry contact
  • Auxiliary power output: 2.5 A (alarm/AC-loss disconnected) or 0.240 A constant
  • Onboard 7 AH battery capacity within lockable chassis
  • External battery cabinet option for up to 33 AH (pending UL testing)
  • Steady or Code 3 temporal horn output with strobe-sync options

Benefits

The PS-8-LP POWERPATH addresses one of the most common fire alarm design headaches: a panel’s onboard NACs aren’t enough to notify the whole building, especially once ADA-compliant strobes are added room-by-room. Instead of replacing the control panel, integrators drop in a PS-8-LP to add 8 amps of clean supervised NAC current plus flexible NAC class mixing that matches whatever the specification calls for. The optional PS-EXP module doubles capacity again, which is often enough to cover an entire renovated floor without additional power supplies. Auxiliary output flexibility (alarm-disconnect vs constant) lets the same unit power ancillary accessories safely. For engineers, the result is cleaner drawings; for facility owners, it’s a cost-controlled path to NAC compliance.

Why Choose QuickShipFire?

  • Ready stock of the PS-8-LP for integrators expanding notification under ADA
  • Bundled quoting of PS-8-LP + PS-EXP when total NAC headroom is the real concern
  • Guidance on whether NAC input or dry contact is the right FACP interface for your panel
  • Battery sizing advice for the 7 AH chassis vs external 33 AH cabinet option
  • Quick answers about class mixing and per-output load balancing pre-purchase
Can the PS-8-LP POWERPATH work with any fire alarm panel?
It can connect to most 12 V or 24 V (FWR or DC) FACPs using either a NAC input or a dry contact trigger, giving it broad cross-brand compatibility as a remote NAC power resource.
What's the difference between the 2.5 A and 0.240 A auxiliary outputs?
The 2.5 A output is disconnected on AC loss or alarm condition (suitable for non-critical accessories), while the 0.240 A output remains constant for loads that must stay powered.
When would I add the PS-EXP expansion module?
When a site needs more than four Class B (or two Class A) NACs from a single remote power supply — PS-EXP doubles capacity to eight Class B or four Class A outputs.
Does each NAC output really deliver 3.0 A?
Each output is rated 3.0 A (Class B or Class A); total load across all outputs cannot exceed the power supply's overall rated capacity, so per-output loading must be balanced.
How big an internal battery can the lockable chassis take?
The chassis accommodates 7 AH batteries inside; if the standby plan requires more, an external battery cabinet can support up to 33 AH (pending UL testing).
Can the PS-8-LP generate synchronized horn-strobe patterns?
Yes, outputs can be programmed for steady or Code 3 temporal horn output and strobe sync signaling, which is typical for code-compliant notification design.
Is this POWERPATH appropriate for a simple single-building retrofit?
Yes, its flexible NAC class options, broad FACP input compatibility, and lockable low-profile cabinet make it especially well-suited to single-building retrofits that need NAC headroom without a panel replacement.
