RESTRICTIONS
Each zone input supplies power to two adjacent zone outputs as follows:
Zone Input Zone Output
1
1 and 2
2
3 and 4
3
5 and 6
4
7 and 8
Adjacent associated output zones must have the same usage. Each output must not
draw greater than 2A@24 VDC. During system test be sure to activate each zone
output pair to ensure that the maximum zone input current is not exceeded.
When any of the ZIC-8B output circuits are used for speakers the following rules apply:
1.
The output circuits are available in two groups, 1-4 and 5-8.
2. Either output group can be used for speakers or NACs.
3.
Each output circuit in an output group must have the same usage.
4. Unused output circuits must not be configured in Zeus.
5. Zone inputs 1-2 feed output circuits 1-4.
6. Zone inputs 3-4 feed output circuits 5-8.
OPERATION
The ZIC-8B contains eight Class B circuits. Each circuit is rated at 2A at 24VDC and
has an input connected to the power source and an output where the NAC devices
are connected. The zone inputs are isolated from one another and are supervised for
the presence of power. This allows the use of different power sources with different
ground references. The zone output is supervised for open and short circuit condi-
tions while the zone is inactive and allows different combinations of output configura-
tions (standard NAC, speakers, etc.) per card. Each ZIC-8B card occupies any one
card slot in the CC-5/CC-2 cardcage. The ZIC-8B also has the capability to detect
ground fault on its zone output as indicated by a diagnostic LED. (See Note above.)
Controls and Indicators
The front panel of the ZIC-8B contains one reset switch, twenty-one LEDs, and three
HNET address switches as shown in Figure 1.
A reset switch is located on the top of the front panel. Pushing the reset switch
re-initializes the ZIC-8B operation.
The LEDs follow the reset switch and their functions are defined as follows:
POWER
(Green)
Normally ON. When illuminated, indi-
cates that power for the ZIC-8B is
applied to the card.
CARD FAIL
(Yellow)
Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates
that the card microprocessor has failed.
CAN FAIL
(Yellow)
Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates
that the CAN communication with the
ZIC-8B has terminated and the card goes
into degrade mode (applicable only when
card resides in a CAN network).
NOT USED
for FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular
applications.
HNET FAIL
(Yellow)
Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-
cates that the HNET communication with
the ZIC-8B has terminated and the card
goes into degrade mode (applicable only
when card resides in the HNET network).
