Addressable Monitor Module
The Gamewell-FCI Velocity® Addressable Monitor Module provides an address for any device or group of devices connected to this circuit on the signaling line circuit (SLC) of the Gamewell-FCI addressable series fire alarm control panel.
The Gamewell-FCI Velocity® Series, addressable monitor module is a single Style B, Class B initiating device circuit (IDC) with a 47KW end-of-line resistor. The addressable monitor module provides a single Style B, Class B initiating device circuit (IDC) with a 47kΩ end-of-line resistor. The addressable monitor module is compatible with the E3 Series, S3 Series, and 7100 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels. This module provides an address for any device or group of devices connected to this circuit on the signaling line circuit (SLC) of the Gamewell-FCI addressable series fire alarm control panel. Any initiating device with normally open (N.O.) dry contacts may be made addressable when connected to the addressable monitor module . The Velocity® Seriems use a communication protocol that substantially increases the speed of communication between the sensors and certain Gamewell-FCI analog addressable fire alarm controls. These devices operate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices in the group has a status change, the panel’s microprocessor stops the group poll and concentrates on the single device. The net effect is response speed up to five times greater than earlier designs.
The addressable monitor module can be programmed to provide a wide variety of input functions to the Gamewell-FCI addressable series fire alarm control panels. It can be identified as a manual station, heat detector, plenum detector, water flow switch, tamper switch, N.O. contact, smoke detector, projected beam smoke detector, sub loop, remote zone, etc. It can also serve as a remote system silence, system reset, system acknowledge or drill switch. It is even possible to customize its device type to meet specific job requirements. The initiating device circuit of the AMM-2F can support a maximum line resistance of up to 40 ohms allowing the use of linear heat detection devices. The compact size facilitates the installation of the module inside manual stations, or mounting boxes of various types of alarm initiating devices.
