ZIC-4A Zone Indicating Card
ZIC-4A Zone Indicating Card
The Zone Indicating Card (Model ZIC-4A) provides four (4)
fully supervised, programmable output circuits for use
on the FireFinder XLS Fire Alarm Control Panel. Model ZIC-
4A supplies four (4) Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) type
output circuits, power limited to 3.0 amps maximum per
circuit.
Each circuit can be independently programmed for use
with listed audible or visual notification appliances, listed
emergency audio speakers, municipal tie boxes, leased
lines, or as releasing circuits. Model ZIC-4A plugs into one
(1) slot in the Model CC-5 or Model CC-2 card cage, and has
on-board LEDs for system status and troubleshooting.
Indication of power, communication, internal operation,
and ground-fault conditions are provided, as well as
indication of circuit activation or trouble conditions.
ZIC-8B / ZIC-2C Zone Indicating Cards
ZIC-8B / ZIC-2C
The Zone Indicating Card (Model ZIC-8B) provides eight (8)
fully supervised, programmable output circuits for use on
the FireFinder XLS fire-alarm control panel (FACP). Model
ZIC-8B supplies eight (8) Class B (Style Y) type output
circuits, power limited to 2.0 amps maximum per circuit.
Each circuit can be independently programmed for use
with listed audible or visual notification appliances, or
listed emergency audio speakers. Model ZIC-8B plugs
into one (1) slot in the Model CC-5 or Model CC-2 card
cage, and has on-board LEDs for system status and
troubleshooting.
Model ZIC-2C mounts directly on Model ZIC-8B, and
allows each of the Model ZIC-8B output circuits to be used
for 2-channel voice applications. Indication of power,
communication, internal operation, and ground-fault
conditions are provided, as well as indication of circuit
activation or trouble conditions.
NIC-C Network Interface Card
NIC-C
The Network Interface Card (Model NIC-C) provides HNET or
XNET network communications between enclosures. In
addition to the HNET or XNET communication, Model NIC-C
provides CAN network communication within an enclosure
or external to the enclosure. HNET or XNET
communication can be wired Style 4 or Style 7, but the
CAN network can be wired Style 4 only.
When Model NIC-C is used for HNET communications, it
provides communication between enclosures on a single
system. When Model NIC-C is used for XNET
communications, Model NIC-C provides communication
between systems. The maximum of XNET Model NIC-C
cards on a single system (single node) is one (1), for a
total of 64 XNET Model NIC-C cards on a peer-to-peer
networked system.
Model NIC-C has diagnostic LEDs that indicate: Card Fail,
CAN Fail, HNET Fail, XNET Fail, Ground Fault, Loop ‘A’ Fail and
Loop ‘B’ Fail. Model NIC-C Card also has LEDs to indicate
Power, Style and Active Networks.
HLIM Line Isolator Module
HLIM Line Isolator Module
The loop-isolator module (Model HLIM) provides short-
circuit protection on FireFinder XLS intelligent device
circuits (see: Model DLC). When Model HLIM detects a
short circuit, Model HLIM is able to isolate the affected
segment of the circuit – allowing the remaining devices to
continue operation. Model HLIM is self-restoring
─
automatically reconnecting to circuit segment when the
fault is removed. Model HLIM can be wired in either a
Style 4 or Style 6 configuration.
