GSA-CC1 Single Input Signal Module
Installation Sheet
Description
The GSA-CC1 Single Input Signal Module is an addressable
module that is used to connect the following circuits:
• Audible and visible notification appliance circuits
(synchronized or unsynchronized)
• Speaker circuits
• Two-way telephone communication circuits (three-state or
four-state)
Upon command from the loop controller, the module connects
supervised Class B signal or telephone circuits to the
respective riser input. The riser input can be 24 VDC (to
operate polarized audible and visible signal notification
appliances), 25 or 70 VRMS (to operate audio evacuation
speakers), or firefighter telephones.
The module does not provide signal synchronization. To meet
UL 864 requirements for horn and strobe signal
synchronization, you must install a Genesis Signal Master
module.
The GSA-CC1 module requires one address on the signaling
line circuit (SLC). Addresses are assigned electronically. There
are no address switches.
Diagnostic LEDs provide visible indication of the state of the
module through the cover plate:
• Normal: Green LED flashes
• Alarm/active: Red LED flashes
Personality codes
The module requires the loop controller to download the
personality code that determines how the module operates.
Use the personality codes described below to configure the
GSA-CC1. See Table 1 for listing information.
Table 1: Personality code listing information
Code Description UL 864 CAN/ULC-
S527
5 Signal - supervised
output (Class B)
Yes Yes
6 Telephone - three-state
(Class B)
No No
26 Telephone - four-state
(Class B)
Yes Yes
Personality code 5: Signal - supervised output (Class B).
Configures the GSA-CC1 module as a riser selector for audible
and visible notification appliance circuits or for
single-channel audio circuits. The output circuit is monitored for
open or shorted wiring. If a short exists, the module will not
activate in order to prevent shorting the riser. The module will
activate once the short is cleared.
Personality code 6: Telephone - three-state (Class B)
Configures the module as a riser selector for a three-state
firefighter telephone. When a telephone handset is plugged
into its jack or lifted from its hook, the module generates its
own ring-tone signal, making a separate ring-tone riser
unnecessary. The module sends this signal to the control panel
to indicate the presence of an off-hook condition, and waits for
the system operator to respond to the call. When the system
operator responds, the ring-tone signal is disabled.
Personality code 26: Telephone - four-state (Class B).
Configures the module as a riser selector for a four-state
firefighter telephone. Operation is the same as Personality
code 6 except that the module can distinguish when a
telephone is off-hook and when the circuit is shorted, which
causes a trouble condition.

Installation
Notes
• The module is shipped from the factory as an assembled
unit; it contains no user-serviceable parts and should not
be disassembled.
• This module does not operate without electrical power. As
fires frequently cause power interruption, discuss further
safeguards with the local fire protection specialist.
Install in accordance with all applicable local codes and
standards and the local authority having jurisdiction.
To install the module:
1. Wire in accordance with “Wiring” below.
2. Write the address assigned to the module on the label
provided, and then apply the label to the module. Remove
the serial number label from the detector and, and then
attach it to the project documentation.
3. Using the screw provided, mount the wall plate on the
module. See Figure 1 for mounting details.
4. Using the screws provided, mount the wall plate (with the
module attached) on one of the compatible electrical
boxes listed in “Specifications” on page 6.

Protection from transient spikes
For installations in which the output circuit connects to
electromechanical bells or horns, install a Bipolar Transient
Protector (P/N 235196P) to prevent inductive loads from
causing transient spikes.
To install a bipolar transient protector:
1. Install the transient protector on the output of the module.
Fit the transient protector into the electrical box with the
module. See Figure 2.

placement

Wiring
Wire in accordance with applicable requirements of the latest
editions of the local codes and standards and the local
authority having jurisdiction.
Strip 1/4 in. (about 6 mm) from the ends of all wires that
connect to the terminal block of the module.
Note: When stripping wire ends, exposing more wire may
cause a ground fault; exposing less wire may result in a faulty
connection.
General wiring notes
• Refer to the Signature loop controller installation sheet for
SLC wiring specifications. Refer to the firefighter phone
installation sheet for additional details.
• Each terminal on the module is limited to a single
conductor.
• Test resistors are supplied with the GSA-CC1 to prevent
trouble signals on unused circuits during installation.
When connecting field wires, remove the test resistors and
install a UL/ULC Listed 47 kΩEOLR at the end of the
circuit.
• The module does not support conventional smoke
detectors.
Riser notes
• For maximum line impedance, refer to the installation
manual for the fire alarm panel. Maximum circuit
capacitance is 0.1 µF.
• If the riser is used for more than one notification zone,
install in accordance with the survivability from attack by
fire requirements in NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code.
• Circuit and riser wiring is different when four-state
firefighter telephones are installed on three-state circuits.
Before replacing a GSA-CC1 module, tag the wires to
ensure correct reconnection.
• The GSA-CC1 module does not supervise the riser; the
fire alarm control panel provides this function.
