Quick Start Guide
Overview
1
Zone Inputs (INPUT 1–8)
These are the zone input terminal strips.
These terminal strips are removable
and accept wire sizes from AWG12 –
AWG22. The terminals are labeled on
the PC board near the terminal strip.
See the Input Wiring section of the
full manual for more information.
• When using a dry contact input, the
contact is connected across the A and
B terminals. It is normal to measure
a voltage across these two terminals.
This voltage is current limited and will
not damage the activation contact.
• When using a voltage input, the voltage
is connected to the B terminal. The
activation voltage must be common
grounded with the system voltage. The
activation voltage must be between 12
and 24VDC nominal. Do not connect
anything to the A terminal of the input.
• When using an open collector
(transistor) input, place a jumper
across the A and B terminals and
connect the open collector to the B
terminal. Note that the input source
must be common grounded with
the M8 board's power source.

FlexIO Connectors
These connectors pass the FAI and
Fault signals to and from the M8 board
and pass the FlexIO buss on to other
accessory boards in the system.
3
Output LEDs
(OUTPUT STATUS 1–8) — Green/Blue
These LEDs indicate the voltage and
status of the zone's output. LED numbers
correspond with the zone number
(e.g. LED 1 is the LED for Output 1).
These LEDs are dual color and indicate
the voltage as follows:
• Blue Output is set for 24V
• Green Output is set for 12V
• Off Fuse or PTC open
