Addressable IO Unit
Units fitted with a built-in addressable IO unit can be directly connected to a device loop on any of GFE’s addressable
panels, via the loop connections. These devices will be monitored directly by the panel.
When fitted, these units will be displayed as IO units and its analogue value monitored by the panel. When there are no
faults on the BCM unit the analogue value reported by the device to the panel is 16 and when in fault condition is 2.
When the device is showing a fault condition, which is always associated with either a fault in the battery charger or
battery voltage as monitored by the module, the panel will also indicate this condition locally by turning ON the
GENERAL FAULT and SUPPLY FAULT LEDs. The LCD of the panel will also display the location of module with a clear
indication of both Loop and Device Address and its associated text label.
Activation of the relay output is accomplished by including the unit in an IO Group. This group can then be assigned to
either a zone or device. Please refer to the Installation Manual of the panel being used for further information regarding
cause and effect programming and functions associated with IO units and groups.

When OFF the module will monitor the battery voltage and it will disconnect battery when
below 21V DC avoiding deep discharge.
SW 3 - ON
In this case the battery voltage monitoring is disabled.
SPLY IN
ON when supply input is present.
CHAR FLT
ON when battery charger is faulty or batteries are not connected or faulty.
BAT FLT
ON when battery voltage is below 21 V DC.
