POTTER PAD100-LED Addressable LED Module Instruction Manual

Installation Manual: PAD100-LED LED Module

NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER

This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the PAD100-LED 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-LED module uses one (1) SLC loop address when used as an addressable indicator. The PAD100-LED is an addressable LED module used to provide indication of a variety of system conditions. 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-LED 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 activated, the LED will flash at a fast rate.

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.

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-LED 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.
• 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.

These instructions do not purport to cover all the details or variations in the equipment described, nor provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation and maintenance.
Specifications subject to change without prior notification.
