Universal Class A/B Module
The Universal Class A/B Module is used to connect initiating, appliance, or two-wire smoke
circuits in either Class A or Class B configurations. The plug-in version can also be used as a
Class A dry contact initiating device circuit. The actual function of this module is determined
by the “personality code” selected by the installer. Up to fifteen personalities are available.

Class B Input Module
The Class B Input Module is used to connect Class B normally-open Alarm, Supervisory, or
Monitor type dry contact initiating device circuits. The standard-mount version is available with
either one or two input connections. The plug-in version accepts two input connections. The
actual function of this module is determined by the “personality code” selected by the installer.
A total of four personalities are available.

Waterflow/Tamper Module
The GSA-WTM Waterflow/Tamper Module is a two circuit intelligent module. Circuit 1 is for Class
B normally-open waterflow alarm switches. When the input contact is closed for approximately 16
seconds, an “alarm” signal is sent to the loop controller. Circuit 2 is for Class B normally open dry
contact supervisory and tamper switches. When the input contact is closed, an “active” signal is sent
to the loop controller. Conditions on both circuits are latched at the module.

Isolator Module
The GSA-IM Isolator Module is an intelligent device that allows part of the data loop to con-
tinue operating in the event of a short circuit. The module can be wired into a Class A data
loop at any point. A maximum of 96 isolator modules can be installed on one circuit. If a fault
occurs, the isolator cuts power to all devices beyond the isolator on the loop. Once activated,
the line fault isolator continuously checks the faulted side of the loop to determine if the short
still exists. When the fault is cleared, the module automatically restores the entire data loop
to its normal condition.

Monitor Module
The GSA-MM1 is a single-circuit intelligent module that includes a Class B normally-open dry
contact. This is used for monitoring input from devices such as fans, dampers, and doors.
When the input contact is closed, an “active” signal is sent to the loop controller. The active
condition is not latched at the module.
