Installation Manual: PAD100-SLCE Addressable Loop Expander
NOTICE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual provides an overview and the installation instructions for the PAD100-SLCE module. This module is only compatible
with addressable fire systems that utilize the PAD Addressable Protocol.
All terminals are power limited and should be wired in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 72 (National
Fire Alarm Code). Failure to follow the wiring diagrams in the following pages will cause the system to not operate as intended. For
further information, refer to the control panel installation instructions.
The module shall only be installed with listed control panels. Refer to the control panel installation manual for proper system
operation.
1. Description
The Signaling Line Circuit Expander allows up to thirty one additional loops. Each loop adds 127 addressable sensors or modules
in any combination. The PAD100-SLCE may be configured for Class A or Class B wiring without the need for additional modules.
The PAD100-SLCE communicates with the control panel via the 4-wire RS-485 communication bus. The loop adder is mounted in
either the control panel cabinet, the intelligent power supply, AE-2, AE-8 or the AE-14 expander cabinet. Each card is mounted to
the exclusive Stacker Bracket for secure and accessible mounting
2. Setting the Address
Each P-Link device has a
five (5) position dip switch
which is used to program the device address ranging from one (1) to thirty-
one (31). The table below may be used to set dip switches when addressing any P-Link module:
Figure 1. Dip Switch Settings Table (Addresses 1
–
31)
Note:
Each
"gray" box
indicates that the dip switch is
"On,"
and each
"white" box
indicates
"Off."
The examples shown below illustrate a P-Link's dip switch settings: the 1st example shows a P-Link module
not addressed
where
all dip switch settings are in the
default
"Off" position
, the 2nd illustrates an
addressed P-Link module
via the dip switch settings.
