Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Description This document describes how to install the LDM Series Lamp Driver with an IFC-1010/2020 Intelligent Fire Controller, IFC-200 Intelligent Fire Controller, or an FC-2000 Fire Controller. The Lamp Driver Module (LDM) provides the IFC-1010/2020, IFC-200, or FC-2000 with a direct interface to a custom graphic display.
Page 4 E x pan de r R ibb on C a ble (75 120 ) Cable sets for connecting LDM-32 and LDM-E32 outputs to lamps or LEDs are provided through the optional LDM-CBL24 (24 inch long) and LDM-CBL48 (48 inch long) assemblies. Each cable has a plug on one end for connection to the annunciator module and stripped and tinned ends on the other end of the assembly.
Page 5 Note: The LDM-32 is functionally identical to the ACM-16AT or ACM-32A Annunciator Control Modules. The terms “lamp driver” and “annunciator” are used interchangeably throughout this document. Although the term “lamp” is used, the LDM is most often used to drive Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
Page 6: Design Considerations
Design Considerations When considering the design of your LDM annunciator system, there are two different types of configurations available: Receive Only Annunciators or Receive/Transmit Annunciators. Limits Up to 32 annunciators may be installed on an RS-485 circuit. The actual number of annunciator modules may be larger, depending on the number of expander modules employed.
Page 7: Receive Only Annunciators
Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits that power mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 volts (RMS), motor control circuits, or SCR power circuits. Receive Only Annunciators For redundant annunciation of system points, annunciators can be configured as Receive Only annunciators.

Page 9 LDM-32 cannot be supervised. Therefore, circuits connected to the relay contacts, as well as all LEDs or lamps, must be located within 20 feet of the LDM series modules. If the lamps are in a separate cabinet from the LDM modules, the inter-cabinet wiring must be enclosed in conduit or metal raceway.
Page 10: Calculating The Power Supply Requirements *9
Calculating the Power Supply Requirements The LDM series annunciators can draw their power from the MPS-24A or PS5-BFS-24-UL power supply and must be considered when calculating primary and secondary power requirements. Table 2: Standby Current Draw for LED Power at 24 VDC Standby Current ] No.

Page 12: Installation
Installation The LDM-32 and LDM-E32 modules mount on four standoffs inside a custom annunciator graphic box. Alternately, the modules may be installed in a standard CHS-4L chassis (not CHS-4) in a CAB-x3 series enclosure. The module size is approximately 4.4 in. x 7.1 in. If you are using a CHS-4L chassis to mount the LDM, see Figure 4.

Page 14 Attach ribbon cables between the LDM-32 and the LDM-R32 for each group of relays needed (connector J5 to J5, J6 to J6, etc.) as illustrated at in Figure 6. Note: The relay module can also be connected to an LDM-E32. (75119) LDM-32 LDM-R32...
Page 15: Wiring The Lamp Driver Module *14
Wire the RS-485 annunciator trunk circuit using a twisted-shielded pair cable. Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 VRMS, motor control circuits, or SCR power circuits.
Page 16 Leave the 120-ohm ELR resistor installed across the RS-485 Out terminals at the last annunciator on the circuit. (See Figure 10). Remove this resistor from all other annunciators. Connect earth ground to a mounting screw on the backbox or cabinet. The 24 VDC power supplied to the annunciator need not be supervised by an end-of-line power supervision relay.
Page 17 The Trouble Input on P3, terminals 6 and 7 can be used for supervising local power sources or other devices containing a normally closed contact. If employed, all changes in status (to and from the trouble state) will be sent to the control panel in the event of device failure or restoral.

The IFC-1010/2020 requires non-resettable power. Connect the power run for the LDM to MPS-24A TB3 Terminals 3 (+) and 4 (-) (2 amps max.).
Page 22 Lamp Test/ Acknowledge The LDM series annunciator includes a single lamp test switch. The lamp test switch, connected to J1 on the master (LDM-32), illuminates all LEDs on its module, and after a short delay, each expander module in turn illuminates its LEDs. A switch installed...

Flash Inhibit must be ON when using the relay expander module (LDM-R32). The lamp driver can be set for addresses 1, 2, 3, or 4. The actual mapping arrangement for a respective module and its expanders depends on FC-2000 annunciator programming.
Page 35 The CPU-2000 can be programmed for an alternate method of annunciating the AIM-200. Up to 192 intelligent devices can be annunciated on a single AIM-200 with LDM series annunciators. The FC-2000 annunciates the AIM-200 installed directly to the right of the CPU-2000. Note that an annunciator cannot be used to execute manual ON/OFF control of intelligent AIM-200 points, only standard FC-2000 zones.
