7.12 ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller Module
The ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller module provides a two addressable
loops. It may be mounted over the main chassis of the FX-2000 Fire Alarm Panel or on any
chassis that supports adder boards. Refer to page Module Mounting Locations View #2 on
page 24 for mounting applications. The module is mounted using four #6 screws and (if
necessary) four 1 1/2" spacers.
Power The power is supplied to the board via cable from the main chassis board
or from the previous loop controller module into the P1 power in connector.
Connect the P2 power out connector to the next loop controller module or
other adder module. Two power cables are supplied with the module.
RS-485 The RS-485 cable comes attached at P3 and is either connected to the
main chassis board or connected from the previous loop controller module
or other adder board. If the next loop controller module is used, connect the
RS-485 out at P4 to the next loop controller module; if it is not used, leave
without connection.
DIP switches Use the DIP switches to set the binary address of the board. SW-1 is the
lowest significant digit and OFF is active. For example, an address of two
would be created by turning SW-1 on, SW-2 off and DIP switches SW-3 to
SW-8 on. Refer to Appendix E: DIP Switch Settings Summary on page 96
for DIP switch settings.
Loop 1 This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as
shown in Single Loop Terminal Connections - Class B on page 54 or Single
Loop Terminal Connections - Style 7 on page 55 and Single Loop Terminal
Connections - Style 6 on page 56.
Loop 2 This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as
shown in Single Loop Terminal Connections - Class B on page 54 or Single
Loop Terminal Connections - Style 7 on page 55 and Single Loop Terminal
Connections - Style 6 on page 56.
Jumpers A jumper is provided at JW2 for normal operation. To reset the board, leave
the jumper at JW2 and momentarily short the pins at position JW1.
BDM Port This connection is for factory use only.
