HOCHIKI INTRINSICALLY SAFE COMPATIBLE DUAL ZONE
MONITOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Products covered: CHQ-DZM(SCI)-IS, CHQ-DZM/DIN(SCI)-IS
Function
The CHQ-DZM(SCI)-IS is an input monitoring device which connects to the Hochiki ESP analogue system. It is capable
of monitoring two zones of intrinsically safe detectors through an intrinsically safe barrier. The unit also provides two
controllable outputs, which can be used to drive remote LEDs (if supported by the Control Panel). The unit is available as
either a “Smart-Fix” module box or as a DIN Rail mountable unit with both variants featuring an integral short-circuit
isolator.
