DESCRIPTION
The 8701 is designed to monitor a normally open or closed dry contact and reports the contact’s status to the control panel.

The device’s microcomputer chip has the capacity of storing, in memory, identification information as well as important operating status information.

FARADAY innovative technology allows all 8701 intelligent interface modules to be programmed by using the 8720 Device Program/Test Unit. The 8720 is a compact, portable, menu driven accessory that makes programming and testing an interface device faster, easier and more dependable than previous methods. The 8720 eliminates the need for mechanical addressing mechanisms, such as program jumpers, DIP switches or rotary dials, because it electronically sets the 8701 interface’s address into the interface’s microcomputer chip non-volatile memory. Vibration, corrosion and other conditions that deteriorate mechanical addressing mechanisms are no longer a cause for concern. This 8701 is connected to the program/ tester with the programming cable provided with the tester. This programming cable utilizes two (2) alligator clip connectors to attach to the 8701.

The 8701 Series has five leads, one for grounding, which are wired to the system with user supplied wire nuts.The 8701 is fully compatible on the same circuit with detectors, addressable manual stations or any addressable intelligent modules.

All 8701 intelligent interface modules have been UL and ULC Listed.

Environmental operating conditions for all 8701 modules are 32 o F ( o C) to 120 o F (49 o C) with a relative humidity of not greater than 93% non-condensating.
