Breakout Board Inputs

A master or combo alarm with 32 signals
has only one breakout board. Signals are
numbered A1 through A32.
A master or combo alarm with 64 signals
has two breakout boards. Signals are
labeled A1 through A32 on breakout board
A and B1 through B32 on breakout board
B.
1. Identify each pair of field installed
source equipment signal wires inside
alarm panel back box assembly.
2. Route each pair of signal wires as
shown in Figure 24 to appropriate
terminals on breakout board(s).
3. Connect each pair of signal wires to
desired breakout board terminals. The
terminals are labeled "Signal 1" through
"Signal 32". Refer to Wiring
Schematic 3 (Page 48).
NOTE:
Each pair of terminals labeled on the multi-signal
module connector is labeled "+" and "COM".
Ensure that when a source equipment dry contact
is wired to two master panels, the same side of
the dry contact is connected to the same terminal
at both panels. For example, if the source equip-
ment's normally closed contact is wired to the "+"
of the first master panel, ensure it is also connect-
ed to the "+" terminal of the second master panel.
CAUTION:
Source equipment signal wires must be connect-
ed to normally-closed, dry contacts. No electrical
voltage can be present and contacts must be
closed during normal equipment operation. When
contacts open, an alarm condition will be activat-
ed.
