Appendix A: Sensiscan 200
Capabilities
When installed with a Sensiscan 200, the modules can annunciate the status
of initiating and notification circuits, relays, and several system control
functions. Up to 32 devices can be connected to the EIA-485
communications output, all addresses combined. Two way communications
can occur with only one annunciator set to address “1”; other devices must
be configured as “Receive Only”. Check battery calculation tables for power
limitations. Each annunciator LED is automatically assigned to one and only
one system point:
Circuits:
• IZ-4F, IZ-4AF, IZ-8F Initiating Device Circuits (alarm and trouble)
• IC-4F, ICE-4F, ICR-4LF Notification Appliance Circuits (activation
and trouble)
• CR-4F, CRE-4F, CR-4LF Control relays (activation and trouble)
• TC-2F, TC-4F circuits (activation and trouble)
System Controls:
• Acknowledge
• Signal Silence
• System Reset
• Activate Notification Circuits 1 and 2, the Remote Signaling Municipal
Tie circuit, and the Alarm Relay.
Connecting EIA-485 Circuit
Communication between the CPU and the annunciator module is
accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial interface.
• Power-limited and supervised.
• 6000 feet maximum distance (with 16 AWG wire) between the control
panel and the furthest annunciator.
• Use twisted pair cable with a characteristic impedance of
approximately 120 ohms.
• EIA-485 circuit rated 5.5 VDC max., 60 mA max.
