The LDM-32
LDM Features
2.2 The LDM-32
The Lamp Driver Module LDM-32 has 32 alarm lamp/LED driver outputs which sink current to system common (-) on activation. A sin-
gle positive (+) voltage is required to supply total operating power for all lamps or LEDs when all drivers are activated. The LDM-32
provides a separate driver for system trouble and inputs for a local lamp test switch. A maximum of 16 external control switches may be
wired to the LDM-32. DIP switch SW3 is used to enable or disable the onboard piezo, enable remote switch functions, select a flashing
LED function for new alarms and troubles, and other functions. Switch SW4 is used to configure the module to annunciate 32 alarms or
16 troubles. A green ON LINE LED flickers to indicate ongoing communications with the host FACP. One LDM-32 supports up to 3
LDM-E32 modules. The LDM-32 is supplied with 4 standoffs and screws for mounting to a chassis or custom backbox.
