Section One: Introduction to the LDM Series
The LDM Series Lamp Driver Modules, which consist of the LDM-32 master and LDM-E32
expander modules, are used to provide an interface to a custom graphic annunciator. The
master module provides power and control for a maximum of three expander modules.
The LDM-32 and LDM-E32 have output connectors which are used to drive lamps or LEDs
and input connectors which are used for remote switch functions.
The LDM Series Lamp Driver Modules may be connected to fire alarm control panels
(FACP) to provide remote annunciation of the following:
• General system status:
ü General Alarm
ü General Trouble
ü General supervisory
ü Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) output status
ü Municipal tie status
ü System silence
ü Alarm relay status
• Alarm and trouble status of zones or individual points
• Alarm only status of zones or individual points
The LDM Series Modules also interface to remote control switches which may be used to
provide:
• System reset
• System silence
• System acknowledge
• Temporary activation of NAC outputs
• Alarm relay activation
• Other control functions
The LDM Series Modules interface to the host fire alarm control panel via an EIA-485
communications bus circuit. A maximum of 32 LDM-32s may be connected to the power-
limited EIA-485 bus, but if other types of devices are also connected to the EIA-485 bus,
the maximum number of LDM-32s must be reduced by the total of such devices. The EIA-
485 wiring distance must not exceed 6,000 feet and cannot be T-tapped. Multiple LDM-
32s may be used to annunciate duplicate information.
Power to the LDM-32s is typically provided by the host FACP and must be power-limited
regulated 24 VDC. External UL listed battery backed power supplies may also be used.
Careful consideration must be given to system battery calculations when power for the
LDM modules and lamps or LEDs is provided by the host FACP . Refer to the specifications
in the appropriate FACP technical manual when making these calculations.

SectionTwo: LDM Features
2.1The LDM-32
The Lamp Driver Module LDM-32 has 32 alarm lamp/LED driver outputs which sink current
to system common (-) on activation. A single positive (+) voltage is required to supply total
operating power for all lamps or LEDs when all drivers are activated. The LDM-32 provides
a separate driver for system trouble and inputs for a local lamp test switch. A maximum of
16 external control switches may be wired to the LDM-32. DIP switch SW3 is used to enable
or disable the onboard piezo, enable remote switch functions, select a flashing LED function
for new alarms and troubles, and other functions. Switch SW4 is used to configure the
module to annunciate 32 alarms or 16 troubles. A green ON LINE LED flashes to indicate
ongoing communications with the host FACP. One LDM-32 supports up to 3 LDM-E32
modules. The LDM-32 is supplied with 4 standoffs and screws for mounting to a CHS-4L
chassis or custom backbox.

2.2The LDM-E32
Each LDM-E32 expander module provides 32 additional lamp/LED driver outputs from J5,
J6, J7 and J8. The expander module has a slide switch SW4 for selecting alarm or alarm
and trouble annunciation and an input for a local lamp test switch. In alarm mode, use only
one LDM-32 and one LDM-E32 for a maximum of 56 alarm indicators and 8 system status
indicators. In alarm/trouble mode, use one LDM-32 and three LDM-E32s for a maximum of
56 alarm indicators, 56 trouble indicators, 16 status indicators and 64 optional control switch
inputs. Multiple sets of LDM-32s with LDM-E32 expanders increasethe systemannunciation
capabilities beyond 56 zones or points. This is possible by various settings of address
switches SW1 and SW2 on the LDM-32 (refer to Appendices). Each LDM-E32 is supplied
with a 26 conductor expander ribbon cable, 4 standoffs and 4 screws.

2.3 Connectors on the LDM-32 and LDM-E32
J1 - Switch Matrix
Up to 16 optional external control switches and a local lamp test switch may be attached
to the LDM-32 and LDM-E32 via J1 as shown in Figure 4-10. To determine which switch
function each point will perform in a System 5000, refer to Appendix table A-1 (System
5000). Switch functions on an AM2020/AFP1010 are completely programmable.
J2 - Ribbon Cable Connection Between Master and Expander Modules to J3
A single 26 conductor ribbon cable may be connected from J2 on the LDM-32 or LDM-
E32 (see Figure 3-3) to J3 on adjacent LDM-E32s. The ribbon cable carries power,
ground and signaling from the LDM-32 to up to three LDM-E32s. The preformed cables
are supplied in fixed lengths of 24 and 48 inches.
J3 - Ribbon Cable Connection From J2
This connector supports a single 26 conductor ribbon cable from J2 of the previous
LDM-32 or LDM-E32. Refer to Figure 3-3.
J4 - Keyswitch Input
This two pin connector is provided as an input on LDM-32 and LDM-E32 modules for an
external security keyswitch. KeyswitchcontactsmustbeNormally Closed. The keyswitch
prevents unauthorized use of remote control switches wired to J1.
J5, J6, J7 and J8 - Lamp/LED Driver Outputs
Each connector provides 8 driver outputs for a total of 32 drivers on each LDM-32 and
LDM-E32. Each driver is rated for a maximum of 30 volts and a current of 100 mA. Each
bipolar Darlington open collector driver output must be current limited by an external
resistor. 8-Point Shift and Flash functions are selectable by DIP switch SW3 (refer to
Section 2.4). Lamp/LEDs may function in 'alarm only mode' or 'alarm/trouble mode' as
selected byswitch SW4. Use the charts and examples shown in Appendices A and B for
additional information.
J9 - Lamp Power/SystemTrouble
Connector J9 is located only on the LDM-32. J9 pin 1 provides 24 volts regulated power
to all lamps/LEDs used in a custom graphic annunciator. The current limit of J9 pin 1 is
dependent upon the current limits of the external power source being used. J9 pin 3 is
a driver output for system trouble indication only. J9 pin 2 connects to system common.
J10 - Relay Expander
Cables to the optional LDM-R32 Relay Expander Module which can be used to provide
up to 32 dry Form-A (normally open) contacts.
J11 - 5VDC Power
This connector is located only on the LDM-32. J11 pin 1 provides 5 volts regulated
power to all lamps/LEDs used in a custom graphic annunciator. The maximum current
available from this output is 300 mA. This current is sufficient to power the maximum
number of LEDs available with one LDM-32 and three LDM-E32s (from J5, J6, J7, J8
and one system trouble LED)
provided the current rating per LED is 2 mA.

2.4 Switches
SW1 and SW2 - Address Switches
Two rotary BCD switches, located only on the LDM-32, are used to set the LDM Series
system address. Switch SW1 represents the 'ones' position and switch SW2 represents
the 'tens' position of the address setting. In system configurations of 56 zones or less,
the switches must be set to address 01 for all LDMs in the system. For configurations
larger than 56 zones, multiple sets of LDMs are required with sequential addresses, the
first LDM starting at address 01. Each incremental setting adds 64 zones/points to the
system.
SW3 - Function DIP Switch
SW3, which is located only on the LDM-32, is used to set the annunciator functions.
Function settings include:
• Number of expanders connected
• 8-Point Shift enabled
• Receive Only communications to host FACP (no system control switches or
loss of supervision)
• Receive/Transmit communications to host FACP (system control switches plus
supervision)
• Control Switch Disable
• Piezo disable
• Flash Inhibit
Refer to Appendices A and B for additional information.
SW4 - Alarm/Trouble Mode Switch
The Alarm/Trouble mode switch is installed on the LDM-32 and LDM-E32. The switch
setting on each expander module must match the switch setting of the associated LDM-
32. 'Alarm Only' mode causes the driver outputs to turn on only for alarm conditions per
associatedzoneorpoint atthe hostFACP. Alarm/Trouble mode causes the driver outputs
to turn on for both alarm and trouble conditions per associated zone or point at the host
FACP. Since this switch affects the assignments of connectors J5, J6, J7 and J8, make
certain to review the appendices in this manual for additional information on wiring to the
lamp/LED drivers.
TB1 - Power, Earth Ground and Supervision
Removable terminal block TB1 appears only on the LDM-32. 24 volts power-limited,
regulated, non-resettable power from the host FACP or a compatible UL listed battery
backed power supply must be connected to TB1-3 (+) and TB1-5 (-). Terminals TB1-2
(+) and TB1-4 (-) may be used to daisy chain the 24 volts to other LDMs or devices.
Earth ground must be connected to TB1-1. Terminals TB1-6 and TB1-7 provide a
supervised input which may be used to supervise local power sources or other devices.
A trouble signal is transmitted to the host FACP upon an open circuit across these
terminals. The input must be power-limited. If these terminals are not used, a jumper
must be installed.
TB2- In/Out
Removable terminal blockTB2 appears only on the LDM-32. All LDM-32s must connect
to the EIA-485 communications bus circuit for proper operation. The EIA-485 bus carries
commands and data sent between the host FACP and the LDMs. The input must be
power-limited.
