Model VSA-1
Visual Switch Annunciator Module
P/N 315-096072-4
INTRODUCTION
The SIEMENS Model VSA-1 Visual Switch
Annunciator module provides the system
operator with manual control and annunciation
of the MXLV System functions on a custom
graphic annunciator panel. ach VSA-1 has pin
headers for 8 push-button switches with func-
tions assigned to them in the CSG-M; each
push-button switch has pin headers for 2 L Ds
to indicate the function status, for a total of 16
L Ds. (See Figure 1.)
The VSA-1 is used to manually select speaker,
telephone, or strobe zones, as well as a wide
range of general system functions, such as All
Call, All Alarm/ VAC, Wardens Page, and
Local Speaker. The switch use and zone
groupings are assigned in CSG-M.
The VSA-1 module may provide L D annuncia-
tion of system activity when the switch and L D
pair are programmed as generic. ach VSA-1
module contains 8 sets of 2 L Ds in three
different colors to indicate a variety of system
information, such as zone trouble or alarm. In
each set, the top L D can light red or green;
the bottom L D is yellow.
The VSA-1 provides all the functionality of a
VSM-1 module, and is defined as a VSM-1
module in the CSG-M.
For more information on the Voice System,
refer to the MXLV Manual, P/N 315-0 2036.

INSTALLATION
Remove all system power before
installation, battery first and then AC.
(To power up, connect the AC first
and then the battery.)
1. Remove the card from its protective bag.
2. Refer to the function section of the CSG-M
configuration printout for the address of the
VSM-1 module that is used for the VSA-1.
3. Set the module address for the VSA-1 on
switch S1 using dipswitches SW1-SW6.
a. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of S1 on
the module.
b. Refer to Table 1 for the correct switch
settings.
c. Set the address (See Note below).

NOTE:
To open a dipswitch, press down on the side of the dip-
switch marked OPEN. To close a dipswitch, press down on
the side of the dipswitch opposite the side marked OPEN.
To open a slide switch, push the slide to the side opposite the
side marked ON. To close a slide switch, push the slide to the
side marked ON.
MOUNTING
Refer to Figure 2
Before mounting each VSA-1 module, check the
labels and the address setting of S1 on the front
of the module.
1. With the custom annunciator backbox open,
mount the snaptrack to the back of the box
using the double-sided tape. Take care to
mount the snaptrack carefully as it is difficult to
remove the snaptrack once it is in place.
2. Female header connectors should be pre-
wired and assigned to modules by the
custom annunciator manufacturer as shown in
Figure 3.
3. Mount the VSA-1 module on its correspond-ing
snap track by pushing it firmly into place.
Connect the female pin header connector as
assigned by the custom annunciator
manufacturer.
4. VSA-1 modules do not need to be mounted in
numeric order by address. (Refer to the
custom annunciator placement layout.)

WIRING
Refer to Figure 4
All wiring must comply with national
and local codes.
1. If VSM-1/VLM-1 and/or VFM-1 modules are
present, open the MHD panels so that you are
looking at the back of the VSM-1s, the VLM-
1s, the VFM-1s and the VSB-1s.
2. Start with the first VSA-1 module in the
connection chain. (The first VSA-1 is usually
located in the top left corner of the custom
annunciator backbox.)
3. Connect P1 of the last module to P2 of the
first VSA-1 module, using the 40-inch cable
model MRRC-1, P/N 500-692531, which is
ordered separately.
4. Connect P1 of the first VSA-1 module to P2
of
the next VSA-1 to its right, using the 4-inch
cable, P/N 600-192237, which is supplied.
Continue in the same manner until all of the
VSA-1 modules are connected (Refer to
Figure 4). Use the MRRC-1 to start a new row
of VSA-1 modules, if required.
5. With an MMB or PSR:
Connect P2 of the first VSA-1 module at the
far left in the top row to P4 of the TBM-2
Termination Block module, using the 3-foot
cable supplied with the TBM-2, P/N 600-
192258. The cables are polarized; do not
force them.
NOT : The TBM-2 module is located in the
enclosure on the right side next to the
MMB-2 or the PSR-1. For more
details, refer to the MXLV Manual,
P/N 315-0 2036.
In a Remote xtender enclosure with a
PS-5N7 used instead of an MMB or PSR:
Connect P2 of the first VSA-1 module at the
far left in the top row to P4 of the TBM-2,
using the 3-foot cable, P/N 600-192258,
which is supplied with the TBM-2. The cables
are polarized; do not force them.
NOT : The TBM-2 module is located in the
enclosure on the right side beneath
the PS-5N7. For more details, refer
to the PS-5N7 Instructions, P/N
315-0 272 .
6. Route the cable wires across the hinge to the
back of the enclosure. Do not fasten the cable
with a cable anchor until all wiring is complete.

NOT S:
1. If only VSA-1 modules and no VSM-1, VLM-1, or VFM-1 modules are used in the
system, P2 of the first VSA-1 module is connected directly to TBM-2, P4, using the 3-
foot cable supplied with the TBM-2.
2. The custom annunciator manufacturer should use 12-position female connectors, such
as AMP No. 1-640440-2. Hood for connector is AMP No. 1-640550-2; key for connector
is AMP No. 641994-1. The hood and key are the same as those used for connection to
the MID-16 module. Two keys should be inserted at slots 1 and 12 of the female
connector, leaving 10 slots for connection to the VSA-1 header.
