Inputs

Manual pull stations• HMS-S, HMS-D, HMS-SA, HMS-M, HMS-2S

Monitor points (Transmit-Receive Interface, or TRI)• HTRI-S, HTRI-D, HTRI-R, HTRI-M• Used for waterflow, tamper, security, damper• Relay output available

Conventional Zone Module – HZM Short circuit isolator – HLIM Intelligent LEDs

• ILED-HC, ILED-HW Detectors

• Bases – DB-11, DB-HR, ADBH-11, AD-11P, AD-HR• Detectors – HFP-11, HFPT-11

– FirePrint!

Inputs


What is FirePrint?

A revolutionary fire detection method that distinguishes between a fire’s unique “fingerprint” and deceptive phenomena, and reports only real fires.

11 different selectable applications FirePrint is NOT a fancy form of “alarm

verification/confirmation”• Makes decisions based on obscuration/temperature/time

Siemens offers the No False Alarm Guarantee• If the system is designed and maintained properly, Siemens

will pay any fines associated with false alarms from FirePrint detectors

• No other manufacturer offers this guarantee

• Since 1997, total fines paid out equals $0!

Inputs


DPU Device Programming Unit

Tests/addresses both MXL and FireFinder XLS devices• Not used for XL3 devices

Built in loop tester!• Have contractor test all loop wiring & devices before panel

gets there!• Indicates # & type of devices, and what device is at what

address• Finds multiple response addresses• Ground faults, activations indicated

Connection to label printer• Prints loop # & address• Multiple copies available

Inputs


DLC – Device Loop Card

Plug-in card 252 devices on a loop! 1 or 2 loops per card

• T-tapped inside card• Total 252 total devices in any combination

50 cards/100 loops per system 2500 devices per system Non-twisted, non-shielded wire

• Great for retrofits! Wire is POLARITY INSENSITIVE (SureWire) Smart Degrade capability

• Loop accessories/outputs operate in Degrade

Inputs


CDC-4 Conventional Detector Card

Plug-in card 4 conventional detection circuits Optional Alarm Verification Supports Siemens conventional detectors & circuit

closure devices Supports select COMPETITIVE conventional detectors

• Check the installation instruction in the Tech Support area of the website

Inputs
