GSA-UM Universal Class A/B Module Installation
Sheet
The GSA-UM Universal Class A/B Module is an addressable
module that you can configure to provide one of the following:
•
Two Class B dry contact initiating device circuits
•
One Class A dry contact initiating device circuit
•
One Class A or Class B notification appliance circuit
•
One Class A or Class B verified two-wire (conventional)
smoke detector circuit without dry contact initiating devices
on the same circuit
•
One Class A or Class B unverified two-wire (conventional)
smoke detector circuit with or without dry contact initiating
devices on the same circuit
•
One Form C dry contact relay output
The GSA-UM requires two device addresses on the signaling
line circuit (SLC). Addresses are assigned electronically. There
are no addressing switches.
Diagnostic LEDs provide visible indication of the status of the
module:
•
Normal: Green LED flashes
•
Alarm/active: Red LED flashes
Personality codes
The module requires the loop controller to download the
personality code that determines how the module operates.
Use the personality codes described below to configure the
GSA-UM. Refer to Table 1 for UL 864 programming
requirements. See
Table 2 for personality code electrical characteristics.

Table 1: UL 864 programming requirements
This product incorporates field-programmable software. In order for the
product to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Control
Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, certain
programming features or options must be limited to specific values or
not used at all as indicated below
Program feature or Permitted in
option UL 864?
Personality code 2 No
Personality code 10 No
Personality code 1: Alarm - NO latching (Class B): Factory
default. Configures input 1 or 2 for Class B, normally open dry
contact initiating devices (e.g., pull stations, heat detectors,
etc.). When the NO input contact of an initiating device is
closed, an alarm signal is sent to the loop controller and the
alarm condition is latched at the module.
Personality code 2: Alarm - NO delayed latching (Class B):
Same as code 1 except that contact closure must be
maintained for approximately 16 seconds before an alarm
signal is sent. This code is only for use with nonretarded
waterflow alarm switches.
Personality code 3: Active - NO nonlatching (Class B):
Contact closure causes an active instead of an alarm status
and does not latch at the module. Code 3 is typically used for
monitoring fans, dampers, and doors.
Personality code 4: Active - NO latching (Class B): Contact
closure causes an active instead of an alarm status, which is
latched at the module. Code 4 is typically used for monitoring
supervisory and tamper switches.
Personality code 8: Signal - dry contact output: Configures
the module as a Form C dry relay contact to control external
appliances (door closers, fans, dampers) or equipment
shutdown. Note: Jumper JP1 must be moved to pins 2 and 3
for dry contact operation.
Personality code 9: Alarm - NO latching (Class A): Configures
the module for connection of Class A, normally open dry
contact initiating devices (e.g., pull stations, heat detectors,
etc.). When the NO input contact of an initiating device is
closed, an alarm signal is sent to the loop controller and the
alarm condition is latched at the module.
