EN: Installation Sheet
Operation
The module is an analog addressable device used to connect
two normally open, alarm, supervisory, or monitor type dry
contact initiating device circuits (IDCs) to a control panel. This
module is designed for Class B circuit operation.
The device address is set using the two rotary switches located
on the front of the module. Two consecutive device addresses
are required. The second device address is automatically
assigned one number higher that the value set on the rotary
switches.
The device can be preset for alarm or supervisory operation
using the slide switch located on the front of the module. The
module can also be configured for other device types through
front panel programming or the configuration utility.
Slide switch operation
The following slide switch settings determine the operation of
the module. Setting the initial slide switch position is generally
performed during module installation. This setting can be
changed while the system is operating, but the change must be
confirmed through front panel programming.
Slide switch P1 is used for IDC 1 and slide switch P2 is used
for IDC 2. The waterflow device type available through front
panel programming or the configuration utility can only be used
with slide switch P1.
