Unsupervised Output
Connect external system wiring to the appropriate
terminals on the terminal block. See Figure 6.
No connection should be made to “+ Supply” terminal.
Supervised Output
Notication Supervised for Open & Short Circuits
Connect external system wiring to the appropriate
terminalsontheterminalblock.SeeFigure7.
The output of the DCIO module supervises the
notification circuit by reversing the polarity of the
monitoring circuit. Polarity must be observed when
connecting the notification device. It is essential to
utilize a notification device approved for fire alarm
notification. These devices are polarized and would
not require the use of an external diode for the
supervision of the circuit. Wire one or more notification
devices to the output, with a 10 K ohm, 1/4 watt EOL
resistor in parallel across the last device.
No connection should be made to “+ Supply” terminal.
Each output channel is individually activated for
response pattern:
– Supervisory
– Continuous output
– 60 beats per minute
– 120 beats per minute
– Temporal
– Timed
– Trouble
Supervised Output
Agent Release
Connect external system wiring to the appropriate
terminals on the terminal block. See Figure 8.
Wire one or more releasing devices to the module
output.
No connection should be made to “+ Supply” terminal.
The output of the DCIO module supervises the
releasing circuit via the coil of the releasing solenoid.
It is essential to utilize a releasing device approved
for use with this output module. This type of output
does not require the use of EOL resistors or diodes to
supervise the circuit.
The output can be configured for latching,
continuous, supervisory, trouble, or timed response.
To ensure adequate operating voltage for the output
device, the maximum wiring length from the power
source to the output device must not exceed the
values shown in Table 1 for automatic release
applications or Table 2 for deluge and pre-action
applications. (For solenoids, this wire length includes
both the wiring from the power supply to the DCIO
module and the wiring from the module to the
solenoid.)
NOTE
Squibs are not compatable with this output. If
squib actuation is required, use EQ2500ARM
release module.
Supervised Output for Deluge and Pre-action
To ensure proper operating voltage, the input voltage
to the DCIO must be in the range from 21–30 Vdc and
the maximum wiring length must not exceed the
values shown in Table 2 for deluge and pre-action
applications. Per FM Approval requirements, the
secondary power must provide capacity for a 90 hour
minimum standby operation followed by a minimum of
10 minutes of releasing and alarm operation. The
initiating device circuit(s) for use with the deluge
and pre-action system configuration must be
wired in conduit within 20 feet from the DCIO.
