Input configuration

The module input mode is configured at the control panel (Field setup > Loop device configuration).
The available modes are:

  • Normal
  • Bi-Level
  • Normally Open (NO)
  • Normally Closed (NC)

Each input can be set to a different mode if required.
The resistors required for each mode are shown below.

Table 3: Input configuration resistors

 | End-of-line resistor| Series resistor [1]| Series resistor [1]
---|---|---|---
Mode| 15 kΩ, ¼ W, 1%| 2 kΩ, ¼ W, 5%| 6.2 kΩ, ¼ W, 5%
Normal| X| X|
Bi-Level| X| X| X
NO| X|  |
NC| X|  |
[1] With activation switch.|  |

Normal mode
Normal mode is compatible for use in installations requiring EN 54-13 compliance.
Input activation characteristics for this mode are shown in the table below.

Table 4: Normal mode

State Activation value
Short circuit < 0.3 kΩ
Active 2 0.3 kΩ to 7 kΩ
High resistance fault 7 kΩ to 10 kΩ
Quiescent 10 kΩ to 17 kΩ
Open circuit > 17 kΩ

Bi-Level mode

  • Bi-Level mode is not compatible for use in installations requiring EN 54-13 compliance.
  • Input activation characteristics for this mode are shown in the table below.

Table 5: Bi-Level mode

State Activation value
Short circuit < 0.3 kΩ
Active 2 [1] 0.3 kΩ to 3 kΩ
Active 1 3 kΩ to 7 kΩ
Quiescent 7 kΩ to 27 kΩ
Open circuit > 27 kΩ

[1] Active 2 takes priority over Active 1.

Normally Open mode
In this mode, a short circuit is interpreted as active at the control panel (only open circuit faults are notified).
Normally Closed mode
In this mode, an open circuit is interpreted as active at the control panel (only short circuit faults are notified).

Status indications

  • The device status is indicated by the Device status LED (Figure 1, item 10), as shown in the table below.

Maintenance and testing

Maintenance and cleaning

  • Basic maintenance consists of a yearly inspection. Do not modify internal wiring or circuitry.
  • Clean the outside of the module using a damp cloth.

Testing

  • Test the module as described below.
  • See Figure 1 for the location of the Test (T) button, Channel (C) button, Device Status LED, Input status LED, and Output status LED. See Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8 for status LED indications.

To perform the test

  1. Press and hold the Test (T) button for at least 3 seconds (long press) until the Device status LED flashes red (fast flashing), and then release the button.
    The module enters Test mode.
    The Device status LED flashes red for the duration of the test.
    The Input/Output status LEDs indicate the input/output state on entering Test mode: normal (steady green), active (steady red), or fault (steady yellow).
    Note: Inputs can only be tested when the input state is normal. If the LED indicates an active or fault state, exit the test. Outputs can be tested in any state.

  2. Press the Channel (C) button.
    The selected input/output status LED flashes to indicate the selection.
    Input 1 is the first channel selected. To test a different input/output, press the Channel (C) button repeatedly until the required Input/Output status LED flashes.

  3. Press the Test (T) button (short press) to start the test.
    The selected input or output test activates.
    See Table 9 below for input and output test details.

  4. To stop the test and exit Test mode, press and hold the Test (T) button again for at least 3 seconds (long press).
    Pressing the Channel (C) button again after the last channel is selected also exits the test.
    The module exits the test automatically after 5 minutes if the Test (T) button is not pressed.

After the test the input or output returns to its original state.

Note
If an input is activated, the Input status LED indicates the activation state when the module exits Test mode. Reset the control panel to clear the LED indication.
The module exits Test mode automatically if the control panel sends a command to switch a relay (for example an alarm command) or if the control panel is reset.

Table 9: Input and output tests

Input/Output Test
Input The Input status LED flashes red (slow flashing) to indicate the test.

The input activates for 30 seconds and the activation status is sent to the control panel.

Press the Test (T) button again to extend the input activation test for another 30 seconds, if required.

Output| If the output state is not activated when entering Test mode, the Output status LED flashes green.

If the output state is activated when entering Test mode, the Output status LED flashes red.

Press the Test (T) button again (short press) to start the test.

If the initial output state (above) is not activated, the Output status LED flashes red.

If the initial output state (above) is activated, the Output status LED flashes green.

Check that any connected devices or equipment operate correctly.

Press the Test (T) button again to switch the relay state again, if required.
