Isolator Module
When the addressable detectors and modules are linked to the ADI Card through a communication loop, isolator
modules can be used to divide this loop into several segments.
The Isolator module is an automatic switch that opens when the line voltage drops below 4 Volts. If a short circuit
occurs between any two isolators, both isolators immediately switch to an open circuit state and isolate the Group
of detectors/modules between them. The use of isolator modules enable part of the communication loop to
continue operating should a short circuit occur.
An LED indicator flashes in the normal condition and illuminate steady ON during a short circuit condition. The
Isolator module automatically restores the communication loop to the normal condition when the short circuit is
removed.
The Isolator modules mount into a 4” square listed junction box with the included mounting bracket. Screw
terminals with clamping plates are provided for ease of wiring. It is recommended that sufficient Isolator modules
be installed to ensure that not more than 20 detectors/modules are isolated in the event of a single short circuit.
