Section One: The AIM-200

1.1 General Description
Note: AIM-200 features discussed in this document are available with AIM-200 software part number 73264 or greater.
The Addressable Intelligent Module (AIM-200) functions as an interface between the System 5000 Fire Alarm Control Panel and intelligent/addressable devices.
To the System 5000, the AIM-200 looks like an IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module. On its single communications loop, the AIM-200 will communicate with up to 99 addressable modules and 99 intelligent detectors.
The AIM-200 will communicate with the following:

SDX-551 Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector
SDX-751 Low Profile Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector
CPX-551 Intelligent Ionization Smoke Detector
CPX-751 Low Profile Intelligent Ionization Smoke Detector
FDX-551 Intelligent Thermal Sensor
MMX-1 Addressable Monitor Module
MMX-2 Addressable Monitor Module
MMX-101 Miniature Monitor Module
CMX-2 Addressable Control Module
BGX-101L Addressable Manual Pull Station
DHX-501/DHX-502 Intelligent Duct Detector Housing (for use with SDX-551 only)

The 198 devices are mapped into eight software zones by the AIM-200. The status of these zones is reported to the CPU-5000. The AIM-200 includes a digital display for identifying the exact device address within a zone. The display is also used to display device types and analog detector sensitivity values.
Although the AIM-200 is intended primarily as an initiating input module, it can support CMX-2 Control Modules on the loop. The CMX-2 modules may be mapped to AIM-200 zones much like outputs are mapped to inputs during standard System 5000 programming.
The AIM-200 may be mixed in a system with any of these system modules:

IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module
IZE-A Initiating Zone Expander
ICM-4 Indicating Circuit Module
ICE-4 Initiating Circuit Expander
CRM-4 Control Relay Module
CRE-4 Control Relay Expander
VCM-4 Voice Control Module
VCE-4 Voice Control Expander
DCM-4 Dual Channel Module
TCM-2 Time Control Module (Single hazard release)
TCM-4 Time Control Module (Multiple hazard release)

In addition, ACM remote annunciators, AMG-1 and FFT-7 voice/telephone modules, and several power supplies can be employed with an AIM-200.
Up to ten AIM-200s may be installed in one System 5000 for a capacity of 1,980 points (subject to limitations of system power supply, refer to Appendix B).

2.1 Optional Peripherals: Intelligent Detectors

BX-501 Base
These intelligent, addressable detectors provide analog information to the AIM-200. The AIM-200 processes this analog information and continually makes decisions on the alarm, maintenance, or normal status of each device. Each detector head mounts to a BX-501 base for ease of installation or replacement. The sensitivity of each detector can be set by the programmer at the AIM-200 for one of three levels (low, medium, and high). Each detector responds to an address that is set in the head via built-in rotary decimal switches.

Section Three: Installation

This section outlines the installation procedure for the AIM-200. For information on installing other System 5000 equipment and power limited wiring, refer to the Installation Manual, Document 15583.
3.1 Installing the AIM-200
Complete the following steps to install the AIM-200 onto the CHS-4 Chassis.

  1. Mount the AIM-200 to a CHS-4 Chassis.
  2. Insert the tab on the bottom of the AIM-200 into the slot on the bottom of the CHS-4.
  3. Fasten the AIM-200 to the top of the CHS-4 using the two captive screws in the top corners of the module. Refer to Figure 3-1.
  4. Connect the ribbon cable. See Figure 3-2.

Note:
If point annunciation (192 intelligent AIM-200 points and 56 standard system circuits) of a single AIM-200 is desired, the AIM-200 must be mounted in the second slot of the first chassis (directly to the right of the CPU). This annunciation option must also be selected in system programming.
Connecting the Alarm Bus Cable
Connect the alarm bus cable following the steps below. Use the alarm bus cable (Part No. 71033) included with the AIM-200.

  1. Remove the 2-pin connector on one end of the cable.
  2. Separate and strip the wires, leaving about half an inch of bare wire exposed.
  3. Connect wires to Terminals 14 and 15 on the CPU.
  4. Connect the other end of the trouble cable to the left-most 2-pin terminal on the bottom left-hand corner of the AIM-200. If additional AIM-200s are employed, see Figure 3-3.

Note: Refer to the System 5000 manual for power limited wiring requirements, document number 15583.
3.2 Wiring the Communications Loop Circuit
The AIM-200 communicates with intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor and control devices through a communications loop. The System 5000 can support up to ten communications loops, each controlled by an AIM-200 module. The communications loops can be wired as non-redundant (Figure 3-6), redundant (Figure 3-7), or isolated redundant (Figure 3-8).
Isolator Modules
Isolator modules (ISO-X) permit a zone of detectors and modules to be electrically isolated from the remainder of the communications loop, allowing critical loop components to function in the event of a circuit fault (see Figures 3-8 and 3-12).
Monitor Modules
Addressable monitor modules (MMX-1, MMX-2, and MMX-101) allow the AIM-200 to monitor entire circuits of conventional normally open contacts, alarm initiating devices, manual pull stations, 4-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors, and waterflow and supervisory devices (Figures 3-13A and 3-14A). A type of monitor module, the addressable BGX-101L, provides point annunciation of manual pull stations (Figure 3-18).
Control Modules
Through addressable control modules (CMX-2), the System 5000 can selectively activate notification appliance circuits or Form-C output relays (see Figures 3-15 through 3-17).
Intelligent Detectors
Through the communications loop, the AIM-200 communicates with intelligent ionization, photoelectric, and thermal detectors (Figure 3-19).
Loop Capacity
The capacity of each AIM-200 includes up to 99 intelligent detectors and an additional combination of up to 99 addressable pull stations, control modules, and monitor modules. One to ten AIM-200s can be employed, depending on system requirements.
Notes:

  1. Communications loop is supervised and power limited.
  2. Maximum loop length is 10,000 feet (total twisted pair length).
  3. Maximum loop voltage: 27.6 VDC.
  4. Maximum loop current: 200 mA (short circuit) 100 mA (normal operation)
  5. Maximum loop resistance: 40 ohms.
  6. Refer to the proper installation drawing supplied with each communications loop appliance.

Branch Resistance
Short the termination point of one branch at a time and measure DC resistance from the beginning of the loop to the end of that particular branch. The total DC resistance from panel to branch end cannot exceed 40 ohms. Repeat this procedure for all remaining branches.

Circuit Figure 3-5: Redundant Circuit

Total length of the communications loop pair cannot exceed 10,000 feet (measured from the control panel out, and back to the control panel).
The DC resistance of the communications loop pair cannot exceed 40 ohms. This measurement may be obtained by disconnecting loop out and return at the control panel, shorting the two leads of communications loop return together and metering loop out.

Loop Figure 3-7: Redundant Communications Loop

Isolated-Redundant Circuit
By flanking each communications loop device with a pair of ISO-X fault isolator modules, each device is protected from short circuit faults that may occur on other devices. For example, a fault on Zone 2 will not effect Zones 1 and 3. The isolator modules on either side of Zone 2 will open the loop. Zone 1 will still operate from power on loop out and Zone 3 will operate from loop return. Since the system will no longer be able to communicate with Zone 2, a trouble signal(s) will be generated for that device.
This circuit is a variation of the redundant circuit, therefore, no T-tapping or branching is allowed. The ratings and characteristics are the same as for the redundant circuit.

Do not allow the shield drain wire to enter the control panel cabinet or the conduit. Connect the drain wire to the termination point of the conduit run (such as a single-gang box as illustrated above). The conduit cannot be longer than 20 feet.
3.3 The Isolator Module
The loop isolator module (ISO-X) is used to protect critical elements of the communications loop from faults on other branches or sections of the loop. The ISO-X continuously monitors the circuit connected to Terminals 3 (-) and 4 (+). Upon power up, an integral relay is latched on. The ISO-X periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on the loop resets the relay. The ISO-X sees this short and disconnects the faulted branch by opening the positive side of the loop (Terminal 4). This effectively isolates the faulted branch from the remainder of the loop. Once the fault is removed, the ISO-X automatically reapplies power to the communications loop branch. Figure 3-12 illustrates the use of an ISO-X on a non-redundant communications loop. For employing ISO-Xs on a redundant or isolated-redundant communications loop, see Figure 3-8.

Note: During a fault condition, the System 5000 will register a trouble condition for each zone mapped to the isolated loop branch.

This LED indicates that the AIM-200 has been programmed for redundant communications loop operation. Select or deselect for the entire loop by pressing the control switch.
Note 1: To function as a redundant communications loop, the AIM-200 loop must be wired in accordance with Figure 3-7.
Note 2: An isolated-redundant circuit is a variation of a redundant circuit (see Figure 3-8). If wired as an isolated-redundant communications loop, the AIM-200 should be programmed for redundant circuit operation.
4.2 Auto-Program Mode
Auto-Program is used when a system is first installed, or when device additions or deletions are necessary. It determines the number, address and type of devices to be programmed by polling the addressable loop. The AIM-200 determines which devices have been physically installed on the loop and compares this information against the program stored in memory. If a particular device responds differently, the AIM-200 displays the new address and type. If accepted by the programmer, the information is stored in the non- volatile memory. Certain other parameters are pre-selected by the AIM-200, such as zone assignment and detector sensitivity, with the installer given an opportunity to change those parameters as desired.
Entering Auto-Program Mode
Once in Auto-Program mode, the AIM-200 turns off all LEDs, places a flashing “AP” on the digital display, and begins polling all 198 possible addresses. It stores the address and type of each device as found. It then compares each new address/type with the old information stored in its memory. If the old and new address/type match, the AIM-200 proceeds to the next address, and repeats. This process could take several seconds to complete all de- vices. Only removal of the PK-1 key can abort the process.
If a mismatch is found between the actual devices installed on the loop and the information in memory, information about the actual device is displayed. The operator may accept the new device by pressing ENTER, or reject the device and retain the information that was in memory by pressing SKIP. Mismatches include an installed device that is not in memory, a non-existing device that is in memory, or a different Type code.
After any mismatches are accepted or rejected, the AIM-200 displays a count of the number of programmed detectors, alternating with a count of programmed modules. The operator may exit to: Program Edit mode by pressing ENTER; Auto- Program mode (repeat) by pressing SKIP; or normal operation by removing the PK-1 key.

  2. When using sounder bases or DHX-501s with auxiliary relay, you must enable max LED latching to ensure all sounders and relays will activate during alarm.

4.5 Program Clear
The Program Clear function allows the programmer to clear an existing program from AIM-200 memory. After clearing memory, the AIM-200 must be completely reprogrammed, beginning with Auto-Program.

 will be displayed for “Program Clear.”
4. You can now clear AIM-200 memory by pressing ENTER. Pressing SKIP or removing the programming key aborts Program Clear.| After the AIM-200 erases stored information, will be displayed for “Enter Password”.

At this point, you must execute Auto-Program so that the AIM-200 can determine which devices are installed on the loop.
At least one device must be installed on the AIM-200 loop. If the programming key is removed after Program Clear and before Auto-Program is executed, the AIM-200 will register a trouble condition by illuminating the yellow trouble LEDs on Zones 1, 3, 5, and 7.
Refer to Table 4-1.
4.6 Default Zone Map
Upon initial power up, and after clearing AIM-200 memory (Program Clear), intelligent detectors and addressable modules installed on an AIM-200 loop are automatically mapped to default zones. Any changes to this map must be made through Program Edit. This default map is illustrated in Figure 4-1.NOTIFIER
AIM 200 Addressable Intelligent Module - Default Zone
Map

4.7 Display Status
When the operator wishes to view the status and program for a device, the Display Status/ Sensitivity function is used. This function is entered directly by inserting the PK-1 Programming Key and pressing the DISPLAY STATUS switch. No password is required.
Note: The AIM-200 will cease monitoring its devices while in this mode and the CPU-5000 will report System Trouble.
Alternately, this mode may be entered without key or password by pressing and holding the DISPLAY STATUS switch in for two seconds. Continue to hold the DISPLAY STATUS switch in with one hand while performing the Step function with the other hand.
Displaying the Status of Intelligent Detectors
When the Display Status mode is entered, the digital display will repeatedly flash the address, type and sensitivity of the detector assigned to the lowest address.
The user can scroll through all detectors using the STEP-FORWARD and STEP- REVERSE switches. The SKIP switch advances addresses rapidly.
Detector Device Type/Status
The Device Type/Status field displays two characters for intelligent detectors, outlined below.

Left Digit Right Digit

=Photo Detector
= Ion Detector
= Heat Detector| Blank = Normal sensitivity
= Low Sensitivity
= High Sensitivity
= Alarm
= Fault (maintenance Alert)
= Disabled
= Error–No response from a device (the AIM-200 is programmed for a device that is in trouble or not physically installed on the loop).
= Unsatisfactory (Failed automatic detector test)

Alarm Threshold Percentage
The percent of alarm threshold for detectors is displayed with a decimal point as illustrated below.

NOTIFIER AIM 200 Addressable Intelligent Module - Alarm Threshold

Displaying the Status of Addressable Modules
After the AIM-200 has stepped through all detectors, it will begin displaying all modules.
The digital display will repeatedly flash between the address and type/status of the module assigned to the lowest address. The user can scroll through all modules using the STEP-FORWARD and STEP-REVERSE switches. The SKIP switch advances through addresses rapidly.
Module Device Type/Status
The Device Type/Status field displays two characters for modules, outlined below.
Table 4-4: Device Type/Status Field Characters

= Closed (Form-C)
= Error–No response from a device (the AIM-200 is programmed for a
device that is in trouble or not physically installed on the loop).

Advancing to an Address Range
By pressing any one of Zone Switches 1 through 8, the operator can advance directly to a desired range of addresses. The AIM-200 will jump to the lowest address of a programmed device within that range. The STEP-FORWARD and STEP- REVERSE switches can be used to move to devices within each range.

NOTIFIER AIM 200 Addressable Intelligent Module - Advancing to an Address
Range

Display Status Tips:

  1. To view module status directly upon entering Display Status mode, press the switch on Zone 8 and advance through devices 80-99 (if present). The AIM-200 will begin displaying modules directly after the last detector.
  2. The STEP-REVERSE switch can be used to back into a lower address range. For example, to view the status of a device with Address “39,” press the switch for Zone 4,
    then press the STEP-REVERSE switch once.

Section Five: Operating the AIM-200

5.1 Zone Display
For each of the eight zone displays, a red LED, yellow LED and a switch are provided. The 198-point capacity of the AIM-200 is assigned to these zones using a “mapping” technique. Each of the 198 devices may be mapped to one or more zones. If an initiating device mapped to more than one zone is alarmed, all mapped zones will be placed into alarm. This type of zoning could be used to provide a matrix, where one zone indicates the area and another the type of device. For example, four zones could be used to indicate floor of alarm, and three zones could be used to indicate smoke alarm, manual station, and waterflow alarm. The eighth zone could be used for supervisory devices (the supervisory devices would not be mapped into a floor zone).

NOTIFIER AIM 200 Addressable Intelligent Module - Zone
Display

CMX-2 Control Modules are activated by the AIM-200 when the zone that they are mapped to enters an alarm condition. If a CMX-2 is mapped to more than one zone, it will be activated when any of the zones are in alarm.
The zone LEDs and switches emulate the functions of an IZM-8 module except when in Program/Display mode. Pressing the switch in Program/Display mode displays all output circuits in the system that are mapped to that zone.
The AIM-200 zone assumes the status of any device mapped to that zone that enters an alarm or trouble condition. If any of the initiating devices are in alarm, the zone is reported in alarm. If one or more devices (including CMX-2 modules) are in trouble, and no alarms exist, trouble is reported for the zone.
One trouble condition, called “Maintenance Alert,” will be reported for analog detectors that give readings in the 0-19% or 80-99% range. This trouble condition will result only if the detector remains at this value continuously for 24 hours (smoldering fires could linger here before passing 100%). After the detector remains at this level for about 24 hours, trouble is reported for that detector.
Digital Display – The digital display provides two numeric digits. It displays the device numeric address (01-99). To the right of the digital display are two green LED’s: “Detector” and “Module.” When there are no devices in alarm or trouble, and the system is not in a programming mode, the digital display is blank.

Alarm Condition When an alarm condition occurs, the address of the alarmed device will appear in the 2-digit, 7-segment display. If multiple alarms occur, the display will automatically advance through all alarms. The STEP switches may be used to manually advance the display one alarm at a time. If it is necessary to display trouble addresses when an alarm exists, the program key must be inserted and the Display Status functions followed. If an alarm(s) has been silenced, and an initiating device mapped to the same software zone goes into alarm, the AIM-200 will resound the alarm signals and flash appropriate LEDs.
Trouble Condition – During a trouble condition (with no alarm present) the digital display will show the address of the trouble. The detector and module LEDs will be used to indicate the category of device in trouble.
Note:
If a Style 6 loop fault exists, the display indicates “LF” (Loop Fault). If communication is lost with the CPU-5000, “SF” (System Failure) is displayed.
If multiple trouble conditions exist, the digital display steps through all troubles automatically at a rate of one trouble per second. The STEP switches may be used to manually control the digital display. Once a STEP switch is pressed, the display advance is under control of these switches. If a trouble(s) has been silenced and a device mapped to the same software zone goes into trouble, the AIM-200 will resound the trouble signal and flash appropriate LEDs.
Step Switches Two switches, STEP FORWARD and STEP REVERSE, are provided for advancing the display. If multiple alarms or troubles exist in the AIM-200, and the display is automatically advancing through them, pressing either of these two switches will stop the automatic advance and allow the operator to control the advancement through the display. If these two switches are not pressed again during a period of about one minute, the display will automatically resume stepping through existing events.
Each time a STEP switch is pressed, the digital display advances to the next higher/lower address that is also in alarm or trouble. After all addresses in alarm or trouble have been displayed, it returns to the first address and continues.

Loop Fault LED and RESET
NFPA Style 6 field wiring may be used to ensure full operation in the event of a single break in the loop wiring. When set for Style 6, the AIM-200 latches a wire failure and then must be manually reset to re-test and clear the fault. When the loop fault is latched on, the AIM-200 turns on the yellow LOOP FAULT LED and reports trouble for all zones that are not in alarm. If there is no alarm, “LF” is placed on the digital display. The RESET switch or the System RESET clears the latch. If a loop fault still exists, the trouble will then resound and re-latch.
T-tap wiring is not allowed in the Style 6 configuration. Field wiring must be returned to the AIM-200 terminal block as illustrated in Figure 3-7.

ON-LINE LED and SKIP Switch
The green ON-LINE LED will flicker when communications occur on the interface to the CPU. The SKIP switch is used in programming the AIM-200. (See the Programming the AIM-200 section of this document.)
ENTER LED and Switch
This LED and switch are used in programming the AIM-200 (see the Programming the AIM-200 section of this document).
Display Status LED and Switch
This LED and switch are used in programming the AIM-200 (see the Programming the AIM-200 section of this document).
Automatic Detector Test
The AIM-200 automatically test all detectors on its SLC loop. This test is similar to activating a detector with a test magnet.
The module periodically commands each detector, one at a time, to respond with an appropriate alarm-like signal (pulse on the SLC loop). If the proper response is not returned, the AIM-200 will register a trouble condition for that detector. The trouble LED of the zone which that detector is mapped to will illuminate and the piezo will sound.
To determine which detector has failed the test, use the Display Status function. The status of the faulty detector will be indicated by a “U” (Unsatisfactory test) in the right digit of the display ( ).
The RESET switch on the CPU must be pushed to clear the trouble status from the device. Unless the detector has been repaired or replaced, the AIM-200 will again register a trouble condition with the next device test. Each detector will be tested at least every 24 hours.
The automatic test is not conducted for modules.

Appendix A: Operating Control Modules

Optional CMX-2 control modules can be installed on the AIM-200 addressable loop. When using one or more CMX-2s, four types of control options are available: General Alarm, Control-by-Zone, Control-by-Module, and Control-by- Detector. The CMX-2 zone mapping and address assignments required for each control option are described below.
General Alarm – To set up General Alarm, set CMX-2 module address in the range of 01-59 and ensure that it has not been mapped to any zones. If an alarm occurs on the alarm bus (see Figure 3-3 for wiring information), the CMX-2 will be activated. This type of control can also be executed using the manual switch on the CPU board alarm relay (manual evacuation).

Alarm From CMX Address CMXMapped to Zone(s)? Results
Alarm Bus 01-59 No CMX will be activated if not mapped to any zone.

Control-by-Zone – Control-by-Zone is suited for control-by-floor and floor above/floor below applications. No special treatment is required to execute Control-by-Zone. If the AIM-200 detects an alarm from an intelligent detector or addressable monitor module, it activates which ever zone(s) are mapped to this device. All CMX-2 modules assigned to the alarmed zone(s) will be activated.

Alarm From| Detector or Monitor Module Address| CMX-1 Address| Results
---|---|---|---
Detector or Monitor Module| 01-99| 01-99| CMX-2 will be activated if mapped to the same zone as the alarmed device.

Control-by-Module – Control-by-Module is a useful function for Air Handling Units (AHUs) controlled by 4-wire duct detectors. To set up Control- by-Module, set the monitor module address in the range 60-69. Ensure that a CMX-2 module exists in the address range 70-79 with the same least significant address digit as the MMX-1, MMX-101, MMX-2(s) and that the CMX-2 module has not been mapped to any zones.

Alarm From| MMX Address| CMX Address| CMXMapped to Zone(s)?| Results
---|---|---|---|---
MMX Module| 60-69| 70-79| No| CMX will be activated if it shares the same least significant digit with the alarmed device and is not mapped to any zones.

Control-by-Detector – Control-by-Detector is a useful function for activating sounders in the same room or location as the alarmed intelligent detector. To set up Control-by-Detector, set detector address in the range 80-99. Ensure that a CMX-2 module exists with the same address as the detector, and that the CMX-2 has not been mapped to any zones.

Alarm From| Detector Address| CMX-2 Address| CMX-2 Mapped to Zone(s)?| Results
---|---|---|---|---
Detector| 80-99| Same as detector| No| CMX will be activated if it shares the address of the alarmed device and is not mapped to any zone.

General CMX-2 Trouble – CMX-2 modules programmed for General Alarm, Control-by-Module, or Control-by-Detector do not have a zone assignment. If a trouble occurs on one of these devices, it is reported as trouble on Zone 1.
Non-Silenceable Notification Appliance Circuit – An CMX-2 configured as a Notification Appliance Circuit (tabs intact) can be programmed in AIM-200 memory as a Form-C module. The module will still function as a supervised notification appliance circuit, but will be non-silenceable. This feature is suitable in applications that require strobe lights to continue flashing after the signals have been silenced during an alarm.
Non-Silenceable Form-C Relays – A CMX-2 configured as a Form-C Relay (type ) cannot be silenced by the SIGNAL SILENCE switch on the CPU. These modules, regardless of their mapping assignments, can only be silenced by the RESET switch on the CPU.
Supervisory Zones – This supervisory monitoring function (tamper valves, etc.) is transparent to the AIM-200. This programming selection is performed at the CPU.
Alarm Verification – The AIM-200 performs alarm verification if this feature is programmed at the CPU. Verification delays are performed for alarms from detectors only.
Waterflow Zones – This System 5000 function (non-silenceable alarm) is transparent to the AIM-200. If used, the installer should assign only flow switches to the zone.
Walk Test – The AIM module will perform a single-person test of all devices as follows:

  1. Disable all eight AIM-200 zones using the DISABLE/ENABLE control on the CPU.
  2. Disable all CMX-2 modules on the AIM-200 by entering Program Edit mode and selecting the code for each module. Remove the programming key.
  3. Reset the system. (The remainder of the system, including other AIM-200s, continues to provide fire protection.)
  4. Activate (alarm) each initiating device on the AIM-200.
  5. Return to the panel and verify that the AIM-200 2 digit display is stepping through all devices that were alarmed.
  6. Reset the system and enable all eight AIM-200 zones.
  7. Enable all CMX-2 modules on the AIM-200. Be sure to select the proper type.
  8. Reset the system.

Alarm Bus – The alarm bus is implemented with a two wire daisy chain that connects to each AIM-200. It is used to provide a manual evacuation control of CMX-2 modules and to manually silence these modules; for general alarm control functions, and to provide a backup connection between multiple AIM-200s so that the panel may still function in general alarm even if the CPU fails.
General Alarm Service – CMX-2 modules will be activated under a general alarm condition provided that the module address is set to “59” or below and the module is not mapped to any zone. In addition, the alarm bus cable must be connected between the CPU and the AIM-200 (see Figure 3-3). This connection puts the  normally open contacts of the CPU Alarm Relay across the pin connector on the AIM-200. When an alarm occurs, the alarm relay changes state, closing the connection to the AIM-200 and signaling a general alarm condition.
Note: The CPU alarm relay is dedicated to this function and should not be connected to other circuits.
To ensure that general alarm functions properly, adhere to the following:

  1. The CPU default program automatically maps the Form-C alarm relay to all initiating zones in the system. While this is a default map, the AIM- programmer should ensure that this relay is indeed mapped to all initiating circuits, including the eight zones on each AIM. This guarantees that any alarm in the system will activate the alarm relay, which will in turn signal a general alarm throughout all AIMs on the alarm bus connection.
  2. The alarm relay must be programmed as a non-coded point. If it is not, the alarm relay contacts will pulse general alarm bus connection, causing the AIM-200(s) to oscillate in and out of alarm.
  3. The CPU alarm relay must be programmed as silenceable, permitting the silencing of general alarm modules with software type (see Figure A-1).

Backup Alarm Bus – The interconnection of alarm bus cables between each AIM-200 provides backup general alarm capability in the event of communications failure with the CPU. Under this condition, the following events will take place.
When an alarm occurs on an AIM-200, output modules mapped to the alarmed zone will be activated. The AIM-200, unable to communicate with the CPU, will assume general alarm responsibility and will close its own alarm bus cable connection. This has the same effect as a signal from the alarm relay–all AIM- 200s receive an alarm bus cable closure and enter a general alarm condition.

NOTIFIER AIM 200 Addressable Intelligent Module - icon
49 Figure A-1: Alarm Bus Activity

Signal Silence Function – Signal Silence will only function for those CMX-2s that have been programmed as notification appliance modules (software type ) and have been programmed for general alarm service (see the General Alarm Service section of this document).
The Signal Silence function is exercised by first closing, then opening, the alarm bus cable connection. The closure occurs after initiation of an alarm—when the alarm relay changes state. The opening occurs when the SIGNAL SILENCE switch is pressed—the Alarm Relay is silenced, opening the alarm bus connection. This signals the AIM-200(s) to silence all general alarm CMX-2 modules.
Signal Silence has no effect on CMX-2 Control Modules that are Form-C (Type ), address 60 or higher, or that are mapped to any AIM-200 zone. These modules can only be silenced by the RESET switch on the CPU.

  • Maximum number of AIM-200s is determined by power supply loading limits in the Installing the System 5000 Technical Bulletin in this manual but may never exceed the following limits: 10 with the MPS-24A; 2 with the MPS-24B.

Appendix C: AIM-200 Point Annunciation

Note: For the following feature to be enabled, the AIM-200 requires software Part No. 73264 or higher.
The CPU can be programmed for an alternate method of annunciating the AIM-200. Up to 192 intelligent devices can be annunciated on a single AIM-200 with ACM or LDM series annunciators, or the LCD-80 Liquid Crystal Display on the RS-485 interface. The System 5000 annunciates the AIM-200 installed directly to the right of the CPU. Note that an annunciator cannot be used to execute manual ON/OFF control of intelligent AIM-200 points, only standard System 5000 zones. The option provides annunciation of up to 256 points for the System 5000, broken down as follows:
