POTTER PAD100-SM Speaker Module Instruction
Installation Manual: PAD100-SM Speaker Module
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
- This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the PAD100-SM module. This module is only compatible with addressable fire systems that utilize the PAD Addressable Protocol.
- All terminals are power limited and should be wired in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
- Failure to follow the wiring diagrams in the following pages will cause the system to not operate as intended. For further information, refer to the control panel installation instructions.
- The module shall only be installed with listed control panels. Refer to the control panel installation manual for proper system operation.
Description
The PAD100-SM uses one (1) SLC loop address. The module mounts on either an UL
Listed 2-1/2″ deep 2-gang box or 1-1/2″ deep 4″ square box. The module is
capable of switching one of the two audio input channels to its audio output
channel.
The PAD100-SM includes one red LED to indicate the module’s status. In normal
condition, the LED flashes when the device is being polled by the control
panel. If the LED blink has been disabled via the programming software, in a
normal condition the LED of the device will be off.
Setting the Address
All PAD protocol detectors and modules require an address prior to connection to the panel’s SLC loop. Each PAD device’s address (i.e., detector and/or module) is set by changing the dip switches located on the device. PAD device addresses are comprised of a seven (7) position dip switch used to program each device with an address ranging from 1–127. For example, if the address number assigned is “8”, the first input will be identified as “8.1”, and the second input channel will be “8.2.”
Note: Each “gray” box indicates that the dip switch is “On,” and each
“white” box indicates “Off.”
The examples shown below illustrate a PAD device’s dip switch settings: the
1st example shows a device not addressed where all dip switch settings are in
the default “Off” position, the 2nd illustrates an addressed PAD device via
the dip switch settings.
Before connecting a device to the SLC
loop, take the following precautions to prevent potential damage to the SLC or
device.
- Power to the SLC is removed.
- Field wiring on module is correctly installed.
- Field wiring has no open or short circuits.

Wiring Diagrams
The wiring diagram shown below illustrates how to wire a PAD100-SM module. Additionally, an installation diagram shows how to install the module using a compatible electrical box.
Notes:
- SLC wiring style supports the Class A, Class B and Class X.
- Output channel wiring supports Class A or Class B wiring styles.
- SLC loop wiring (SLC+, SLC-) are power limited.
- Wiring for terminals SLC+, SLC- are supervised.
- All wiring is between #12 (max.) and #22 (min.).
- Wire Preparation – Strip all wires 1/4 inch from their edges as shown here:
- Stripping too much insulation may cause a ground fault.
- Stripping too little may cause a poor connection and subsequently an open circuit.
Notice
It is possible that the internal relay in the PAD100-SM may be shipped in
the non-normal / activated state. To ensure that the internal relay is set to
the normal state, connect the module to the SLC loop and reset the control
panel before terminating the wiring to the module’s output.
