POTTER PAD100-ZM Zone Module Instruction
Installation Manual: PAD100-ZM Zone Module
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the PAD100-ZM 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-ZM uses one (1) SLC loop address when monitoring two (2) Class B or one (1) Class A circuit. The module is used to supervise a zone of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors on an Initiating Device Circuit (IDC). The module requires and supervises a 24VDC auxiliary power connection. The 24VDC power source must be either a Potter IPA series addressable panel, or a Potter PSN series power supply. The IDC may be wired as two individual Class B circuits or one Class A circuit which is selectable by an on board DIP switch. The module mounts on either an UL Listed 2-1/2″ deep 2-gang box or 1-1/2″ deep 4″ square box. The PAD100-ZM 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. When an input is activated, the LED will flash at a fast rate. If the LED blink has been disabled via the programming software, in a normal condition the LED of the device will be off. All other conditions remain the same.
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.
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.
When the PAD100-ZM is used to monitor two individual Class B circuits a single
device address is assigned; each input is then identified as a sub-point of
the module address. For example, if the address number is assigned as “8”, the
“B1” input will be “8.1”, and the “B2” input will be “8.2.”
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 diagrams shown below illustrate how to wire a PAD100-ZM module as
Class A and Class B. 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.
- DC wiring style supports Class A and Class B.
- SLC loop wiring (SLC+, SLC-) and initiating device wiring (B1, B2 and A1) are power limited.
- Wiring for terminals SLC+, SLC- are supervised.
- Wiring for terminals (PWR) are supervised.
- Wiring for terminals (B1, B2 and A1) 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.
