System Components SB-AIM Module
3.4 SB-AIM Module
This module can control eight 4-20mA analog inputs with safety-related functions. All the channels
are continuously tested during operation. The following types of transducers can be connected to
this board: Explosive gas detectors, Toxic Gas Detectors , Oxygen sensors, Temperature Sen-
sors/detectors, Flame Detectors, 4-20mA generic Sensors/detectors. Each channel features dedi-
cated terminals to supply 24VDC power to field device.
3.4.1 Technical Specifications
3.4.2 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.
