Morley 795-029 ZX 8-Way Programmable Input Card

The 8-way programmable input card is a compact remote I/O device for the ZX series intelligent multi protocol fire alarm control panels. This device, along with other remote I/O devices, the repeater units and the external printer provide a complete range of peripheral devices to further enhance the functionality and expandability of the ZX series systems.

The 8-way input card consists of 8 non- supervised monitoring circuits built on a single printed circuit board.

Each input is equipped with a pair of terminals to accept an input form an external NO clean contact suitable for low voltage / low current switching. Each input can be individually programmed to generate one of the five input events in the panel: Fire, fault, bomb alert, class change, or security.

The “Auto-Learn” facility in the ZX series control panels will automatically determine the number of modules connected to the peripheral bus and add each input card to the list of inputs in the panel. Once the inputs are learned, then each of these inputs can be programmed with the desired input event type.

The card can be set in either standard mode with a single address, zone number and device description common to all inputs or in expended mode where each input has its own peripheral address, zone number and device description. When used in the expended mode one 8-way input card occupies eight peripheral addresses and therefore the addresses 1 to 8 cannot be used by any other peripheral bus device (i.e. the next bus card/device must be set to address 9 or higher).
