DESCRIPTION
The Eagle Quantum Premier®(EQP) Addressable
Smoke and Heat (ASH) Module is designed to expand
the input and output capability of Detector Electronics
Corporation’s (Det-Tronics®) EQP system.
The ASH is an interface device designed to provide
continuous and automated fire protection. It ensures
system operation through supervision of system inputs/
outputs and Local Operating Network/Signaling Line
Circuit (LON/SLC) monitoring in the Controller.
The ASH is located directly on the LON of the EQP system,
with a loop of up to 64 addressable devices tied into the
ASH. This allows the EQP Controller to annunciate a fire
alarm from either its own LON based I/O or from the ASH
connected addressable detection loops.
System status can be determined using the Eagle
Quantum Safety System Software (S3), and the status
indicators on the module.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Expands the capabilities of Det-Tronics’ Eagle
Quantum Premier system
• EQP Controller can support up to 10 ASH Modules
on a loop
NOTE
This support is dependant on system conguration
and logic within S3.
• Provides power and communications to 64
addressable devices
• Utilizes Apollo Discovery devices
• ASH Module alarm and fault conditions are logged in
the EQP Controller
• LEDs for easy annunciation of power, faults and
active devices on the loop
• Monitors single addressable devices
• Provides remote I/O capabilities via LON/SLC.
• DIN Rail or Panel mounting
• Plug-in wiring connectors
• RFI and EMI hardened
• Approved for use in Marine applications (Panel
mount only)

5.1 95-8654 3
THEORY OF OPERATION
During normal operation, the ASH Module continuously
checks the loop for alarm and fault conditions and
executes user defined programmed logic that coordinates
the control of the field devices. The ASH Module reports
any device based fault and alarm conditions to the EQP
Controller.
The ASH Module can support different Apollo Discovery
and XP95 devices (see Table 3). The supported devices
include smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual calls,
sounders, beacons and I/O modules. The addressable
devices are configured individually via the ASH Apollo
Editor in the S3software.
To ensure reliable system operation, the ASH Module can
continuously monitor its input and output circuits for open
and short circuit conditions. The EQP Controller also
continuously monitors the status of the ASH Module as
well as the status of each device connected to the ASH
Module.
The controller communicates with the ASH Module by
continuously broadcasting a heartbeat signal over the
LON (Figure 1). This heartbeat is used for verifying the
integrity of the LON and for keeping the addressed
field devices from going into a fault isolation mode.
The heartbeat also contains the current date and time,
which is used by the field devices to log status events
and calibrations. For detailed information on the EQP
Controller, refer to instruction manual 95-8533.
ISOLATORS
Isolators are used to disconnect a shorted section
of the ASH Module Apollo loop so that the remaining
sections can continue to operate. In accordance
with the NFPA 72 standard for SLCs, the ASH Module
supports Class A, Class B, and Class X SLC wiring
styles.
NOTE
A maximum of sixty-ve isolators may be used on
the Apollo loop.
For the Class A wiring style, isolators are optional on the
ASH Module Apollo loop where only a single zone is
monitored. During a single open, a single ground fault,
or the combination of a single open and a single ground
fault, the Class A pathway shall maintain alarm receipt
capabilities. See Figure 2 for Class A pathway.
Class B requires that a spur configuration be used, with
the single spur connected to the “Loop Out” terminals
on the ASH Module. The Class B pathway is intended for
use in a single zone system. When a single ground fault
is present, alarm receipt capabilities shall be maintained.
Devices beyond a single open will lose connection, but
all devices will lose connection for a short. See Figure 3
for Class B pathway.

Class X is intended for use in a multi-zone system and
requires that the first isolator on each leg be installed
next to the ASH Module, within the same enclosure. In
addition, an isolator is needed between each zone as
illustrated in Figure 4. Alarm receipt capabilities in the
other zones shall be maintained during a single open,
single ground, wire-to-wire short, or open and ground.
NOTE
The isolator has an operating temperature range
of +32°F to +100°F (0°C to +38°C). This means
that, for Class X installations, the enclosure
temperature will be rated to +100°F (+38°C) max.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Set the ASH Module network address prior to applying
power. Make sure all the necessary connections are made
between the ASH Module and the Controller. At power-up
the “PWR” (Power) LED will illuminate and remain steady.
FAULTS
When a fault condition occurs, a yellow LED on the front
panel of the ASH Module will become active. There are 4
yellow LEDs for different categories of faults.
Module faults
A module fault occurs when a fault is detected within the
ASH Module, such as:
• Low voltage fault
• Memory fault
• Crystal oscillator fault
• Battery fault
Loop faults
A loop fault is related to the Apollo device’s loop
communication and configuration, such as:
• Open loop
• Shorted loop
• Device missing
• Extra device
• Wrong device
• Multiple devices
Loop device faults
A loop device fault is related to an individual device on the
loop, and is typically fixed by replacing the faulty device.
Any of the following faults can be categorized as a loop
device fault:
• Integrity check fault
• Device open
• Device short
• Device hardware faults
• Drift warning
• Earth fault
Ground faults
Ground faults occur when a short or partial short exists
between the loop wiring and earth on the Apollo loop. There
is a local dedicated LED indicator that activates when there
is either a positive or negative ground fault.

CONTROL MESSAGE
The control message manages loop device specific
commands, such as integrity check, LED, relay and sound
control. The control message is transmitted from the
controller every 20 seconds, or immediately when there is
a change in the state of an output channel. A fault will be
annunciated if the control message is not received at the
controller within 2 minutes.
INTEGRITY CHECK
Integrity checks are internal tests that are performed on loop
devices that support the integrity check feature. All Apollo
Discovery detectors and manual call points are equipped with
the integrity check feature. The integrity check may be initiated
and monitored via the ASH Module point display in S3.
Passive and Active Integrity Checks
During a passive integrity check no alerts will be sent to
the ASH Module or EQP Controller. All indications will be
handled by the local LEDs on the loop devices.
An active integrity check will be indicated on the ASH
Module, the controller, and the loop devices as an active
alarm. A fault indication will be generated if the integrity
check fails.
Automatic Integrity Check (AIC)
When enabled, an automatic integrity check is performed
every 24 hours for all the loop devices. The ASH Module
controls the initiating of the integrity check for each loop
device, one at a time. The AIC is disabled by default and
the start time is configurable within the ASH Apollo editor
in S3. If a device is currently in the middle of an AIC,
and the AIC becomes disabled, that particular device
will conclude its test, but no new test will begin. Manual
integrity check requests are ignored during an AIC, and
if a manual integrity check is in progress when an AIC is
scheduled, the AIC will be delayed.
Manual Integrity Check (MIC)
The manual integrity check can be performed individually
for a single loop device, or globally for all devices on a
single ASH Module.
NOTE
If a manual integrity check is already in progress,
a new request of either an AIC or MIC will be
ignored.
Integrity Check Faults
When an integrity check fails, the loop device fault LED
will be activated. The fault indication will remain until an
ASH Module reset is performed, or until another integrity
check is done, and passes.
NOTE
If there is an active alarm, any new integrity
check request is ignored. If an integrity check is
in progress and an alarm condition occurs, the
integrity check will be interrupted and the alarm
will be annunciated.
WALK TEST
The walk test is intended to verify the operation of the loop
devices. A walk test is activated by physically walking up
to each device, one at a time, and setting them into an
alarm condition. Alternatively, a walk test can be activated
from the ASH Module’s point display within S3. The test
verifies that each device does indeed go into an alarm.
The alarm condition is logged into the EQP Controller, but
the controller takes no further action.

Det-Tronics’ S3Safety System Software is used for device
configuration. For complete configuration details, please
refer to the S3User’s Guide (95-8560).
APOLLO DEVICES
Apollo Discovery and Apollo XP95 detectors and manual
call points have the following specific configurable
parameters that must be set within the Apollo Editor in S3:
Loop Device Type
All the Apollo loop devices supported by the ASH Module
are listed. Once a device has been chosen from the list,
different parameters must be configured based on the
selected device.
Group Address (Sounders)
Sounders and sounder control units may be configured to
operate in a group mode. All the sounders in a particular
group will activate simultaneously, whether continuous
or pulsed. For synchronized evacuation signalling,
approved signalling devices must be connected.
Time Delay
A time delay between 0 and 30 seconds may be
configured for the time an Apollo device must be
continuously in alarm before the controller annunciates
the condition. The alarm must be present for the entire
delay time.
Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode is an option to allow the response
mode (sensitivity) of Apollo detectors to be automatically
adjusted to 1 of 2 values throughout a 24-hour period
(this mode applies to loop device detectors only). This
feature is useful for adjusting detector sensitivity where
occasional time specific interference may occur.
Day mode Start / Stop time
The day/night mode is enabled simply by setting the
day response mode to a different value than the night
response mode. The start and stop times are then set
according to the desired switchover time. At the start
time, the response mode is set to the “Day Mode Start
Time” setting. At the stop time, the response mode is set
to the “Day Mode Stop Time” setting.
If the day response mode value is set equal to the night
response mode, the day/night mode functionality is
effectively disabled. The default value for the start time
is 8:00 AM, and 10:00 PM for the stop time. The start and
stop times are processed in 15-minute increments.
Response modes (Sensitivity)
All Discovery detectors have a sensitivity parameter that
may be set to 1 of 5 different levels. The most sensitive
level is 1, and the least sensitive level is 5. The default
value for both the day response mode and the night
response mode is 3. See the table below for all the
sensitivity levels.
Mode Sensitivity
1 Very High
2 High
3 Medium (Default)
4 Low
5 Very Low
Flashing led mode
The flashing LED mode is a configuration parameter that
is part of Apollo Discovery loop devices. When this mode
is active, the local LEDs on the loop device will flash
when they are polled.
Limitations
In order to prevent current overload, the number of
sounder control modules must be limited to 20 modules.
Loop devices in alarm will have their local LEDs activated.
To limit the amount of current on the loop, the maximum
number of local LEDs that may be active at any one time
is 10.
Inhibit
Using the point display within S3, each Apollo device can
be inhibited individually. Furthermore, using the “Global
Inhibit” function within S3’s device display will inhibit the
ASH Module, causing all devices on an ASH loop to be
inhibited.

MAINTENANCE
To ensure reliable protection, it is important to check
the ASH Module on a regularly scheduled basis. The
frequency of checks is determined by the requirements
of the particular installation.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The ASH Module is not designed to be repaired in the
field. If a problem should develop, first carefully check for
proper wiring and programming. If it is determined that
the problem is caused by an electronic defect, the device
must be returned to the factory for repair.
NOTE
When replacing a device, be sure that all rocker
switches on the replacement are set the same
as the original device. Consult the settings
documented during system installation and setup
to determine proper settings for the new device.
Remove power before removing a device or
plugging in a replacement unit. When a device is
replaced with an identical device set to the same
address, conguration is done automatically.
DEVICE REPAIR AND RETURN
Prior to returning devices, contact the nearest local
Detector Electronics office so that the Return Material
Identification (RMI) number can be assigned.
A written statement describing the malfunction
must accompany the returned device or component
to assist and expedite nding the root cause of the
failure.
Pack the unit properly. Always use sufficient packaging
material. Where applicable, use an antistatic bag as
protection from electrostatic discharge.
NOTE
Det-Tronics reserves the right to apply a service
charge for repairing returned product damaged as
a result of improper packaging.
Return all equipment transportation prepaid to the factory
in Minneapolis.
