Module mounting and installation options
Kidde input/output modules are available in models that feature
two mounting options: standard mount and plug-in.
Standard mount models are installed to North American two-gang
or one-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where
only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections
are made to each module.
Plug-in UIO modules mount to UIO motherboards. Two- and six-
module UIO motherboards are available, making them ideal for instal-
lations where more than one module is required. Motherboards can
accommodate individual risers for each on-board module, or shared
risers in any combination with their UIO modules. All wiring connections
are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may
be mounted in either cabinets, or standard electrical enclosures.
Kidde input/output modules are extremely flexible and powerful
devices that gather Intelligent information from the slave devices
connected to them and convert this data into digital signals. They
are available in models that mount in standard one- or two-gang
electrical boxes, as well as versions that plug into UIO mother-
boards.
The actual function of each module is determined by its installer-selected personality code. This is downloaded
to the module from the device controller during system configuration. Because they are intelligent devices, all deci-
sions are made at the module. This allows lower communication speed but very fast control panel response time
and less sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties. As a result, twisted or shielded wire is not required.
