    Section 1: Introduction The AMPS-24/E is an intelligent power supply and battery charger with one 5VDC and three 24 VDC outputs. It can connect directly to a CPU2-3030*, NCA-2 or DS-DB via a harness cable with EIA-485 connections. For other systems it can operate in FlashScan or CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode and reside on the SLC.

    Section 3: Configuring the AMPS-24 3.1 SLC Addressing NOTE: An AMPS-24 communicating over the EIA-485 protocol will not require an SLC address block. See Section 3.3, “Configuring the Network Annunciator” for more information. When the AMPS-24 communicates via the SLC, the installer must reserve sequential SLC addresses (an address block) equal to the number of addresses that will be consumed by the AMPS-24.
