General
The SCS-8 Smoke Control Station and optional SCE-8 Smoke
Control Expander, SCS-8L Smoke Control Lamp Driver, and
SCE-8L Smoke Control Lamp Driver Expander are used with
the NOTIFIER AM2020/AFP1010, NFS-640, NFS-3030, NFS2-
3030 Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs), NCA or NCA-2 Net-
SCS-8
work Control Annunciator displays, or the INA, to provide the
capability to control and display the status of AHU fans or damp-
ers. Each SCS can control and monitor eight AHU fans or damp-
ers. The SCS-8L and SCE-8L must be installed in a UL-Listed
Graphic Annunciator backbox. The SCE is used with the SCS,
expanding the capability to control and monitor a total of 16 AHU
fans or dampers. Only one SCE can be used for each SCS and
a maximum of 32 pairs can be used with each NOTIFIER control
panel. With the maximum configuration of 32 pairs, the system
has the capability to control and monitor 512 separate AHU fans
or dampers. The SCS can be used with theIntelligent Network
Annunciator (INA) Release 2.8 (or higher) and with the NFS-640
(without NCA display option) in HVAC mode only.
The SCS/SCE, when used with the AM2020/AFP1010, NFS(2)-
3030, or NCA(-2) display with ONYX® Series FACPs, complies
with UL smoke control requirements (Category UUKL) for dedi-
cated and non-dedicated systems as well as NFPA 90A, 92A,
and 92B standards for smoke control. The SCS/SCE also com-
plies with UL 916 Energy Management category PAZX. Each SCS-8/SCE-8 also has two LEDs and one momentary
switch with the following functions:
Features • ALL AUTO LED (Green).

If the switch is in the ON (OPEN) position, the SCS-8 sends a Annunciator
signal over the EIA-485 which overrides the automatic program-

8 sends a signal over the EIA-485 overriding the automatic pro-
