POTTER PAD100-PSDA Addressable Pull Station
Installation Manual
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the
PAD100-PSSA / PSDA (Single Action / Dual Action)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-PSSA (Single Action) is activated by pulling the white “T” bar handle down. The PAD100-PSDA (Dual Action) is activated by lifting the front cover and then pulling the white “T” bar handle down. Once activated, the “T” bar cannot be reset without opening the front cover. Opening the front cover will also activate the pull station. To reset the PAD100-PS series, use the Potter WS-93 key to unlock and open the front cover. Once the cover is open, push the “T” bar back into the normal position and re-secure the front cover. It is a non-coded addressable pull station and installs on a single gang box or surface mounts using the P32-BB or P32-DBB (deep) back box.
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.
Figure 1. PAD Device Dip Switch Addresses Table (Addresses 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.

(Unaddressed) & Addressed PAD Device
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.

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.
