System Components SB-SIM Module
3.2 SB-SIM Module
This module can control eight supervised inputs for conventional sensors or detectors with safety-
related functions. This can include automatic, manual, waterflow, and sprinkler supervision
devices. All the channels can be individually reset and are tested every 30 seconds during opera-
tion. It is used to control conventional fire detectors and NO/NC contacts in general.
3.2.1 Technical Specifications
3.2.2 Visual Indicators
The front panel of the module features 19 LEDs that indicate the following conditions:
NOTE: During the startup sequence, the yellow and red LEDs blink 3 times, then the seven red LEDs
L1-L7 will go on for 2 seconds to indicate the module address in binary format (L1=1, L2=2, L3=4,
L4=8, L5=16, L6=32, L7=64). At this point, the eight yellow LEDs L1-L8 will begin to blink rapidly until
the module is configured by the panel.
