3-IDC8/4 Traditional Zone I/O Module
Installation Sheet
Description
The 3-IDC8/4 Traditional Zone I/O Module provides eight
Class B traditional direct connect initiating device circuits
(IDCs) for compatible two-wire smoke detectors and dry
contact initiating devices. Four of the initiating device circuits
can be converted to Class B notification appliance circuits
(NACs). The four IDC/NAC circuits must be configured as
either an NAC or an IDC, never both.
Each IDC can be set for latching or nonlatching operation and
smoke verified or unverified operation using the software
definition utility.
Each pair of NAC circuits may be configured to provide
24 VDC from the internal chassis rail, 24 VDC from an external
power supply, or signals from an external source for
notification, audio, and telephone applications. NAC input
terminals are provided to supply the external signal source.
Installation
Install and wire the 3-IDC8/4 in accordance with applicable
national and local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or
death from electrocution, remove all sources of power and
allow stored energy to discharge before installing or removing
equipment.
Caution: Equipment damage hazard. This product is sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To avoid damage, follow
accepted ESD handling procedures
To install the 3-IDC8/4:
1. If circuits are configured as NACs, position jumpers at the
correct locations for an internal or external riser source.
See “Jumper settings” on page 2.
2. Install the module on the rail chassis, pressing the
mounting studs firmly into the mounting holes. See
Figure 1.
3. Connect field wiring. See “Wiring” on page 2.

Jumper settings
For circuits configured as NACs, the NAC pairs share a
common power/signal source. Two jumpers on the module
select the signal source for each NAC pair. See Figure 2 for
jumper pin numbers.
Notes
•Jumper positions must be set in parallel. Set jumpers in
both JP1 and JP2 the same. Set jumpers in both JP3 and
JP4 the same.
•Jumpers have no effect when the IDC/NAC circuits are
configured as IDC circuits.

Wiring
Connect field wiring as shown in Figure 2.
•Wiring is supervised and power-limited.
•Maintain 0.25 in. (6 mm) separation between power-
limited and nonpower-limited wiring at all times. Route the
power-limited wiring through the notches at the right front
of the chassis. Secure the wiring to the cabinet using
nylon cable ties.
•If shielded cable is used, it must be continuous, free from
earth ground, and must only be connected to the ground
terminal on the source of the riser.
•Dedicated initiating device circuits (Class B, Style B):
IDC3, IDC4, IDC7, IDC8.
•Circuits configurable as IDC or NAC (Class B, Style Y):
IDC/NAC1, IDC/NAC2, IDC/NAC5, IDC/NAC6.
•Synchronized operation of Genesis strobes requires a
separately installed synchronization device. See the
control panel or power supply compatibility list for
compatible synchronization devices.
•For a list of 3-IDC8/4 compatible devices, see the EST3
Compatibility List (P/N 3100427-EN) and EST3X
Compatibility List (P/N 3101801-EN).
