SCE-SS Module

(See wiring diagram Fig. 5 for RCE-SS)

Description

SCE-SS Control Module — The SCE-SS
Addressable SmartScan™ Control Module
provides Gamewell intelligent control pan-
els a circuit for Notification Appliances

(horns, strobes, speakers, etc.) or to moni-
tor a telephone circuit. Addressability allows
the SCE-SS to be activated, either manu-
ally or through panel programming, on a

select (zone or area of coverage) basis.

RCE-SS Relay Module — The RCE-SS
Addressable Relay Module provides the
system with a dry-contact output for acti-
vating a variety of auxiliary devices, such

as fans, dampers, control equipment, etc.
Addressability allows the dry contact to
be activated, either manually or through
panel programming, on a select basis.

Applications

The SCE-SS is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power, high-level audio (speak-
ers), or control telephone devices. The RCE-SS may be programmed to operate dry
contacts for door holders, Air Handling Unit shutdown, etc., and to reset four-wire
smoke detector power.

Construction

• The face plate is made of off-white Noryl®.
• Controls include two rotary switches for direct-dial entry of address (01-99).
• The SCE-SS is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z)

Notification Appliance Circuit.

• The RCE-SS provides two Form-C dry contacts that switch together.

Operation

Each SCE-SS or RCE-SS uses one of 99 possible module addresses on a SLC loop.
It responds to regular polls from the control panel and reports its type and status,
including the open/normal/short status of its Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). The
LED blinks with each poll received. On command, it activates its internal relay. The
SCE-SS supervises Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) notification or control cir-
cuits.

Upon code command from the panel, the SCE-SS will disconnect the supervision and
connect the external power supply in the proper polarity across the load device. The
disconnection of the supervision provides a positive indication to the panel that the
control relay actually turned ON. The external power supply is always relay isolated
from the communication loop so that a trouble condition on the external power supply
will never interfere with the rest of the system.

Rotary switches set a unique address for each module. The address may be set be-
fore or after mounting. The built-in TYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the module
to the control panel, so as to differentiate between a module and a sensor address.

• Built-in type identification

automatically identifies these
devices to the control panel.

• Internal circuitry and relay

powered directly by two-wire
SLC loop. The SCE-SS module
requires power (for horns,
strobes, etc.), audio (for speak-
ers), or a telephone riser (for
handsets). Internal relay feature
available on SmartScan
systems only.

• Use with IF602, 610, 632, 654

and 658.

• Integral LED “blinks” green each

time a communication is
received from the control panel
and turns on in steady red when
activated.

• LED blink may be deselected

globally (affects all devices).

• High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).

• The SCE-SS may be used to

switch 24-volt NAC power, audio
(up to 70.7 V

RMS

) or telephone.

• Wide viewing angle of LED.

• SEMS screws with clamping

plates for wiring ease.

• Direct-dial entry of address 01–

99 for SmartScan

™.

• Speaker, audible/visual, and

telephone applications may be
wired for Class B or A (Style Y or
Z).
