Indicators LEDs Normal - Green LED indicates CM2ND is normal, i.e. no zone alarms, troubles or internal faults. Alarm - Red flashing LED indicates the Network has detected an alarm condition.
Controls Switches The Reset, alarm silence and trouble silence switches on the CM2ND are functional in both the network and stand alone mode. Reset - Resets CM2ND when in stand alone mode. Locally, CM2ND reset uses a supervisory short response on zone xx97. In the network mode, the CM2ND reset initiates a supervisory open on zone xx96 at the CM1N / FCC.

Theory Of Operation The 20 mA current loop format transfers information using changes in current flow rather than voltage levels to indicate logic states. Logic levels are represented by current flow, and absence of current flow. A loop circuit is formed between each pair of SO-20 modules. Three loop circuits are shown in the figure below, loops A/B, B/C and C/A.
