The relay rating is 2A@30Vdc. If load connected is more than the relay rating, a transfer relay 
suitable for the rating should be used. 
 
Every relay has its indicator (LED) on board to indicate it’s on/off status. It’s easy for the user to 
know the relay status and to trouble shoot if the connected device doesn’t go out properly.   
 
All relays are configurable to one of the following functions: Alert, Action, Fire 1, Fire 2, Fault, 
Isolate, and Auxiliary. The relay output function printed on the termination board is the factory 
default setting. Users can change the relay function using the front panel display or the 
Management computer Software to change the setting. However, the second relay, which 
circuit is designed to normally closed to give a trouble signal when the device is powered off. 
Care should be taken for the relay’s NO or NC connection when changing relay functions.

GPI, General Purpose Input 

 
There are eight General Purpose Input terminals on VDOT-ASD-400 termination board. Those inputs 
are designed to monitor the status of the connected devices. The connected devices monitored by 
the GPI can be just a button, a fault relay from the power supply, or even alarm relay from other 
detector. Short circuit the pair of the input pins makes ASD to activate associated function defined 
in the GPI settings. There are 16 possible functions falls in the following categories: 
 

l

 

Device Control: Reset, Isolate, Silence, Test, Scan,   
 
The GPI terminal can be connected to a remote button, a control/output module of the fire 
alarm system, or a PLC so those control function can be performed remotely, or by other 
systems.

Power Fault Monitoring: Mains Fault, Battery Fault, Power Fault 

 

It is sometimes required by local code that the fault status of the mains and/or battery 
condition of the detector’s power supply should be monitored. In this case, the ASD detection 
device will signal a fault when the connected relay of power supply is activated. The ASD fault
