Inputs
GP IN 1
GP OUT 2
Two protected supervised general purpose inputs suitable for connection to
contact or open collector outputs. EOLR value is 1.5k
-3.3k
.
Ancillary Relay
Outputs
ANC1 and ANC2
Each relay provides a voltage-free set of changeover contacts, rated at 1A inductive
or 2A resistive at 30VDC. Configurable contact, load or door-holder mode supervision.
ANC1 has a demountable screw terminal header compatible with pre-made loom LM0319
to connect to a T-Gen2 or T-GEN 50 tone generator.
ANC2 has 2.5mm
2
capacity screw terminals.
ANC3
A single set of voltage-free changeover contacts, 5A resistive at 30V. Negative bias
supervision of up to three branches of wiring is possible from this relay.
EOLR values are 9.1k
for a single branch, 2 x 18k
for a double branch and 3 x 27k
for a triple branch.
Other outputs
GP OUT 1
GP OUT 2
Two protected general purpose open collector 2.5mm
2
outputs which can be used to
drive loads of up to 500mA. Load mode supervision is optional on these outputs.
Serial ports
Diag/Prog
Male DB9 connector configured as DTE. For connection to PC for diagnostics,
programming, or firmware update. Requires null-modem cable, e.g., LM0076.
Can be connected to a modem for dial-in remote access. This requires a straight serial
cable.
Serial Port 1
Other Serial Ports
Male DB9 connector configured as DTE. Suitable for connection to a logging printer.
Requires null-modem cable for printer connection, e.g., LM0076.
Five 10 way headers configured as logic level (0-5V) DTE. Display Port is dedicated to the
LCD/Keyboard connection. Data rate is fixed at 19200 bps, 8 bits, no parity. Serial Port 0
by default is assigned to RZDU, but can be re-assigned to other functions. Serial ports 2, 3,
4 and 0 are configurable for
MX
Loop Cards, Remote FBP, or Network Interface.
RZDU Port
Four 2.5mm
2
capacity screw terminals, for connection to up to 8 remote display devices
using proprietary RZDU protocol.
Brigade Interfaces
SGD Interface
10 way FRC header suitable for connection to VIGILANT® GP SGD (PA0862) or GP
Brigade Relay Interface (PA0861).
ASE Interface
Isolated and protected screw terminal, 4mm
2
capacity, for 2 wire connection to an ASE
FAS input. Transmits Alarm, Fault and Isolate. (Not currently used in NZ).
Brigade Relays
Three sets of voltage-free changeover contacts, rated at 1A inductive at 30V, with
2.5mm
2
capacity terminals, for Fire/Alarm, Defect/Fault, and Isolate/Disable signalling.
