Potter PAD300-IM Installation Manual

Installation Manual: PAD300-IM Isolator Module
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the PAD300-IM module. This module is only compatible with
addressable fire systems that utilize the PAD Addressable Protocol.
All terminals are power limited and should be wired in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 72 (National
Fire Alarm Code). Failure to follow the wiring diagrams in the following pages will cause the system to not operate as intended. For
further information, refer to the control panel installation instructions.
The module shall only be installed with listed control panels. Refer to the control panel installation manual for proper system
operation.
1. Description
The PAD300-IM does not require an SLC loop address but does consume power the from the SLC loop. The module provides
protection against short circuits by limiting the number of affected devices. When the PAD300-IM detects a short circuit on the
SLC loop, it disconnects the outgoing side of the module to prevent the short from affecting the rest of the SLC loop. The module
mounts on either an UL Listed 2-1/2" deep 2-gang box or 1-1/2" deep 4" square box.
The PAD300-IM includes one red LED to indicate the module's status. When the module is shorted, the LED will light continuously.
Once the short is removed, the PAD300-IM will automatically restore to a cleared condition.
Before connecting a device to the SLC loop, take the following precautions to prevent potential damage to the SLC or device.
• Power to the SLC is removed.
• Field wiring on module is correctly installed.
• Field wiring has no open or short circuits.
