16 Channel I/O Panel Module (S772)

The 16 Channel I/O Interface enhances the versatility of the alarm system by providing additional input and
output capabilities to the Compas Fire Alarm Control Panel. Inputs and outputs can be selected for up to 16
individual channels. All inputs and outputs are configured in the same way as devices connected to addressable
loops of the panel. The 16 Channel I/O Interface can be configured to contribute or act upon cause and effect
logic.
