Smart Power Supply

important

This integration is supported only by ipTNA4i devices.

In many installations, the ipTNA4i is mounted directly inside the fire alarm panel to enhance security and use the panel's buffered power supply.

If the installation inside the panel is impractical or undesired, a packaged version of the ipTNA4i is available in a Dycon-manufactured housing, allowing it to be installed in close proximity to the panel.

The Smart Power Supply integration enables continuous monitoring of the Dycon power supply and its connected battery. Through the serial interface, the ipTNA4i receives real-time information about the power status — including AC input, battery condition, and output voltage.

Critical events such as the loss of AC input or battery failure are reported to evalink talos.
