INTRODUCTION
The 8702, 8703 and 8704 Intelligent interface modules are designed to provide the means of interfacing direct shorting devices to the MPC-6000 & 7000 Control Panels.
The X1 Series Intelligent interface modules provide the market’s most advanced method of address programming and supervision, combined with sophisticated control panel communication. Each X1 Series interface module incorporates a microcomputer chip. The X1 Series microcomputer chip technology and its sophisticated bi-directional communication capabilities with the control panel, achieve the state of an “Intelligence Device.”
DESCRIPTION
The X1 Series intelligent interface modules are available in three models. The 8702 and 8704 are designed to monitor a normally open or closed dry contact. The interface module reports the contact’s status to the control panel. The 8702 model can only monitor and report the status of the contact, while the 8704 incorporates an addressable Form C relay. The 8704 relay and contact device input are controlled at the same address. For the control panel system, the relay and input contact can be controlled as a separate function. The relay is typically used where control or shunting of external equipment is required.
The 8703 is a dual input module and is designed to supervise and monitor two sets of dry contacts. The Dual Input Module only requires one address but responds independently to each input. The 8703 is ideal for monitoring a water flow switch and its respective valve tamper switch.
The module has a multi-color Light Emitting Diode that flashes green when operating normally, amber if unit is in trouble condition, and red to indicate a change of state. The 8703 flashes twice, once for each address, the 8704 red L.E.D. indicates a change of state in the relay.
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 X1 Series intelligent interface modules to be pro-grammed by using the 8720 Device Programming/ 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 the 8720 electronically sets the address into the interface’s micro-computer chip nonvolatile memory. Vibration, corrosion and other conditions that deteriorate mechanical addressing mechanisms are no longer a cause for concern.
The X1 Series modules are fitted with screw terminals for connection to an addressable circuit.
The X1 Series modules are fully compatible on the same FireFinder XLS circuit with intelligent detec-tors, addressable manual stations or other address-able intelligent modules.
All X1 Series intelligent interface modules are UL listed.
Environmental operating conditions for all 8700 Series modules are 32ºF (ºC) to 120ºF (49ºC) with a relative humidity of not greater than 93% non-condensating.
