Installation Manual: PAD100-MIM Micro Input Module
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the
PAD100-MIM 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-MIM is used to monitor the status of an initiating device(s) that
contain a normally open set of dry contacts. The module is enclosed in a
plastic case to protect against inadvertent shorts and ground faults. The case
can be mounted using a single screw. Generally the PAD100-MIM is used to
monitor pull stations and other devices where the module is installed in
anelectrical box or enclosure behind the device being monitored.
The PAD100-MIM 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.
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 Diagram
Below is an wiring diagram showing how to wire a PAD100-MIM module to the panel.
Notes:
- SLC wiring style supports the Class A, Class B and Class X.
- IDC wiring style is Class B.
- SLC loop wiring (SLC+, SLC-) and initiating device wiring (IN) are power limited.
- Wiring for terminals SLC+, SLC- are supervised.
- Wiring for terminals (IN) are supervised.
- This addressable module does not support 2-wire detectors.
- 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.
