The Model ZIC-4AC from Siemens Building
Technologies, Inc., is a zone interface card that
provides notification appliance circuits (NAC) for
the system. It has 4 outputs that can be
configured for Class A or Class B and control of
audible and visual notification appliances such as
speakers, strobes, horns, bells, etc.
Each zone can be configured independently for
different usages as programmed in the Zeus tool
and can be controlled automatically by program
logic or manually using the PMI. During the initial
power-up condition, each zone on the ZIC-4AC is
configured as a steady NAC, Class A configuration
with 2A current limit. The ZIC-4AC then sends a
message to the PMI indicating that it is
unconfigured.
The ZIC-4AC supports one or two channel bulk
amplification as well as synchronized and non-
synchronized strobes. This selection is available in
the Zeus tool under the detail properties for each
ZIC-4AC circuit. Synchronization across multiple
ZIC-4AC cards is automatic as a part of the
system operating characteristics.
ZIC-4AC features are as follows:
• Zones can be configured independently for
audio or strobe use
• Zones can be configured independently for
Class A or Class B
• Can have independent input sources for each
output
• Zone input voltage supervision
• Zone output supervision
• Intelligent self-restoring power limiting
• Coded signal synchronization capability
• Card level Ground Fault detection
• Communicate CAN protocol
• Uploadable firmware update
• Ability to pass through up to 4A per circuit
