Section One: The AIM-200
1.1 General Description
Note: AIM-200 features discussed in this document are available with AIM-200 software
part number 73264 or greater.
The Addressable Intelligent Module (AIM-200) functions as an interface between the Sys-
tem 5000 Fire Alarm Control Panel and intelligent/addressable devices. To the System
5000, the AIM-200 looks like an IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module. On its single communications
loop, the AIM-200 will communicate with up to 99 addressable modules and 99 intelligent
detectors. The AIM-200 will communicate with the following:
SDX-551 Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector
SDX-751 Low Profile Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector
CPX-551 Intelligent Ionization Smoke Detector
CPX-751 Low Profile Intelligent Ionization Smoke Detector
FDX-551 Intelligent Thermal Sensor
MMX-1 Addressable Monitor Module
MMX-2 Addressable Monitor Module
MMX-101 Miniature Monitor Module
CMX-2 Addressable Control Module
BGX-101L Addressable Manual Pull Station
DHX-501/DHX-502 Intelligent Duct Detector Housing (for use with SDX-551 only)
The 198 devices are mapped into eight software zones by the AIM-200. The status of these
zones is reported to the CPU-5000. The AIM-200 includes a digital display for identifying
the exact device address within a zone. The display is also used to display device types and
analog detector sensitivity values.
Although the AIM-200 is intended primarily as an initiating input module, it can support
CMX-2 Control Modules on the loop. The CMX-2 modules may be mapped to AIM-200
zones much like outputs are mapped to inputs during standard System 5000 programming.
The AIM-200 may be mixed in a system with any of these system modules:
IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module
IZE-A Initiating Zone Expander
ICM-4 Indicating Circuit Module
ICE-4 Initiating Circuit Expander
CRM-4 Control Relay Module
CRE-4 Control Relay Expander
VCM-4 Voice Control Module
VCE-4 Voice Control Expander
DCM-4 Dual Channel Module
TCM-2 Time Control Module (Single hazard release)
TCM-4 Time Control Module (Multiple hazard release)
In addition, ACM remote annunciators, AMG-1 and FFT-7 voice/telephone modules, and
several power supplies can be employed with an AIM-200.
Up to ten AIM-200s may be installed in one System 5000 for a capacity of 1,980 points
(subject to limitations of system power supply, refer to Appendix B).

BX-501 Base
These intelligent, addressable detectors provide analog information to
the AIM-200. The AIM-200 processes this analog information and con-
tinually makes decisions on the alarm, maintenance, or normal status of
each device. Each detector head mounts to a BX-501 base for ease of
installation or replacement. The sensitivity of each detector can be set by
the programmer at the AIM-200 for one of three levels (low, medium, and
high). Each detector responds to an address that is set in the head via
built-in rotary decimal switches.

3.2 Wiring the Communications Loop Circuit
The AIM-200 communicates with intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor and control
devices through a communications loop. The System 5000 can support up to ten communi-
cations loops, each controlled by an AIM-200 module. The communications loops can be
wired as non-redundant (Figure 3-6), redundant (Figure 3-7), or isolated redundant (Figure
3-8).
Isolator Modules
Isolator modules (ISO-X) permit a zone of detectors and modules to be electrically isolated
from the remainder of the communications loop, allowing critical loop components to func-
tion in the event of a circuit fault (see Figures 3-8 and 3-12).
Monitor Modules
Addressable monitor modules (MMX-1, MMX-2, and MMX-101) allow the AIM-200 to moni-
tor entire circuits of conventional normally open contacts, alarm initiating devices, manual
pull stations, 4-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors, and waterflow and supervisory de-
vices (Figures 3-13A and 3-14A). A type of monitor module, the addressable BGX-101L,
provides point annunciation of manual pull stations (Figure 3-18).
Control Modules
Through addressable control modules (CMX-2), the System 5000 can selectively activate
notification appliance circuits or Form-C output relays (see Figures 3-15 through 3-17).
Intelligent Detectors
Through the communications loop, the AIM-200 communicates with intelligent ionization,
photoelectric, and thermal detectors (Figure 3-19).
Loop Capacity
The capacity of each AIM-200 includes up to 99 intelligent detectors and an additional
combination of up to 99 addressable pull stations, control modules, and monitor modules.
One to ten AIM-200s can be employed, depending on system requirements.
Notes:
1) Communications loop is supervised and power limited.
2) Maximum loop length is 10,000 feet (total twisted pair length).
3) Maximum loop voltage: 27.6 VDC.
4) Maximum loop current: 200 mA (short circuit) 100 mA (normal operation)
5) Maximum loop resistance: 40 ohms.
6) Refer to the proper installation drawing supplied with each communications loop ap-
pliance.

Isolated-Redundant Circuit
By flanking each communications loop device with a pair of ISO-X fault isolator modules,
each device is protected from short circuit faults that may occur on other devices. For
example, a fault on Zone 2 will not effect Zones 1 and 3. The isolator modules on either side
of Zone 2 will open the loop. Zone 1 will still operate from power on loop out and Zone 3 will
operate from loop return. Since the system will no longer be able to communicate with Zone
2, a trouble signal(s) will be generated for that device.
This circuit is a variation of the redundant circuit, therefore, no T-tapping or branching is
allowed. The ratings and characteristics are the same as for the redundant circuit.

3.3 The Isolator Module
The loop isolator module (ISO-X) is used to protect critical elements of the communications
loop from faults on other branches or sections of the loop. The ISO-X continuously monitors
the circuit connected toTerminals 3 (-) and 4 (+). Upon power up, an integral relay is latched
on. The ISO-X periodically pulses the coil of this
relay. A short circuit on the loop resets the relay.
The ISO-X sees this short and disconnects the
faulted branch by opening the positive side of the
loop(Terminal4). This effectivelyisolatesthefaulted
branch from the remainder of the loop. Once the
fault is removed, the ISO-X automatically reapplies
power to the communications loop branch. Figure
3-12 illustrates the use of an ISO-X on a
non-redundant communications loop. For employ-
ing ISO-Xs on a redundant or isolated-redundant
communications loop, see Figure 3-8.
Note: During a fault condition, the System 5000
will register a trouble condition for each zone mapped to the isolated loop branch.
Figure 3-12: Isolating Non-Redundant Communications Loops
Shorts on this branch of an isolated non-redundant communications loop will be isolated
from all devices installed both upstream of the ISO-X and on the continuation of the loop
(shown as dotted line).
