3.6 SCS-8⁄SCE-8 Installation
Labels
Labels have been provided for fan control (ON/OFF) as well as damper control
(OPEN/CLOSED). If using the custom display labels, type the appropriate informa-
tion in the white square areas provided. Carefully cut out the labels and insert them
into the
SCS-8⁄SCE-8 by slipping them into the label slots on the back side of the SCS-
8⁄SCE-8 faceplate. The labels should be inserted prior to installing the SCS-8⁄SCE-8
in a cabinet or backbox.
ABS-4D Installation
Set the address and dipswitches on the SCS-8 module (see Section 3.8 “Configura-
tion”).
Open the hinged mounting panel in the ABS-4D Cabinet. Position the SCS-8 mod-
ule over the threaded studs in the first position on the mounting panel (positioning
the bottom of the SCS-8 module closest to the hinge on the mounting panel). Secure
the module with two nuts and lock washers as illustrated in Figure 3.9.
If an SCE-8 is required, plug one end of the Annunciator Expander Ribbon Cable
into Connector J1 on the SCS-8. Install the SCE-8 in the second position of the
ABS-4D mounting panel. Connect the Annunciator Expander Ribbon Cable from
the SCS-8 to Connector J1 on the SCE-8, as shown in Figure 3.10. Repeat this pro-
cedure for the second set of SCS-8⁄SCE-8 modules to be installed in positions 3 and
4 on the mounting panel. Connect the wiring as shown in Figure 3.12, Figure 3.13,
and Figure 3.14.
CAB-3/CAB-4 Installation
Set the address and dipswitches on the SCS-8 module (see Section 3.8 “Configura-
tion”).
A dress panel is required for mounting. Position the SCS-8⁄SCE-8 module over the
threaded studs in the first two positions on the dress panel and secure with the two
nuts and lock washers provided as illustrated in Figure 3.11. If an SCE-8 is required,
plug one end of the Annunciator Expander Ribbon Cable into Connector J1 on the
SCS-8. Install the SCE-8 in the second position of the dress panel. Connect the other
end of the Annunciator Expander Ribbon Cable to Connector J1 on the SCE-8.
Repeat this procedure for the second set of SCS-8⁄SCE-8 modules to be installed in
positions 3 and 4 on the dress panel. Place the SCS/dress panel assembly into the
cabinet. Secure the assembly with the screws provided. Connect the wiring as shown
in Figure 3.12, Figure 3.13, and Figure 3.14.
EIA-485
Communication between the FACP and the SCS-8L is accomplished over a two-wire
EIA-485 serial interface. Up to 32 EIA-485 devices may be installed on an EIA-485 circuit. The data communication and wiring are super-
vised by the fire alarm control panel. All SCS-8L Smoke Control Stations must be in the same room as the FACP/NCA when in FSCS mode.
The data communication and wiring are supervised by the fire alarm control panel.
NOTE:
To ensure the best fit, cut directly along the dotted line
surrounding each label.
