SB-ECM Module System Components
3.7 SB-ECM Module
This module can control an automatic extinguishing/release system. The module controls eight (8)
supervised inputs with safety-related functions, four (4) safety related supervised outputs to control
solenoids, two (2) non-safety related supervised outputs to control notification appliances and one
(1)virtual output V15, used to activate the automatic release sequence in embedded mode or as an
internal variable in I/O mode. As to the 8 input channels, the first six are suitable for NO/NC con-
tacts with a max line current of 40mA, while the last two channels are suitable for controlling
NO/NC or conventional smoke detector contacts with a max line current of 130mA. As for the 6
output channels, the first four channels are suitable for controlling solenoid valves or visual/acous-
tic signals with a max current of 500mA and safety-related functions, while the last two channels
are regulate NAC outputs with a max current of 195 mA.
Note: Synchronization of devices between zones or within a zone is not permissible using this mod-
ule.
