The D327A is used to supervise and control
notification appliances operating in a single circuit,
such as bells, horns and horn strobes, speakers and
speaker strobes, and so on. Grouping notification
appliances by location in a circuit controlled by a
D327A gives them a single address point on a fire
alarm control panel (FACP).
At a single address point on the FACP's polling circuit,
this module provides:
• A point for connecting a notification appliance circuit
(NAC) to the system
• Supervised terminals for connecting auxiliary power
from the FACP (or from a regulated, power-limited,
auxiliary power supply) to the NAC
Functions
In an alarm condition, the D327A switches power from
the auxiliary power source to the notification circuit
and supervises the auxiliary power input. This feature
simplifies the design and reduces the cost of the
notification circuit.
Status LED
An LED confirms polling response and activation
status. The LED flashes green to indicate a normal
polling response and flashes red to indicate activation.

The D327A supervises the wiring of the NAC attached MEA
to it and provides power to the notification appliances
on that circuit. Use the module to control and Installation/configuration notes

Modules: D9067 Analog polling module
Weight 3.2 oz (99.5 g)
Programmers: D5070 Analog device programmer 5.5 oz (171 g) with base

Installation Considerations Back Box Depth 2.1 in. (5.4 cm) minimum
There are three steps to installing the NAC module:
• Set the point address: The D5070 Analog Device Outputs
Programmer is required to set the address by
NAC
programming an EEPROM microchip.
• Connect the wiring: Wiring terminals are clearly Current 2A
marked and the module leaves ample room in the
back box for wiring. Loop Resistance: 50 Ω maximum
• Mount the module in the back box: The D327A
Voltage: 30 VDC maximum
mounts on a four-inch square back box. A wall plate
(supplied) covers the module concealing the address Polling Circuit
pins but leaving the LED visible.
Current: 22 mA ± 20%
Data Circuit Length
Data (or polling) circuit length is the distance over the Power Requirements
circuit wire from the connection at the D9067 module
to the most distant device and back to the D9067 Current
module. Data circuit length must include the distance Alarm: 5 mA
to any device connected to the circuit in a T tap. The
screw terminals can accept up to 14 AWG (1.5 mm) Standby 0.22 mA typical
wire, but this reduces the allowable length of the Voltage (Operating)
circuit.
