Sigma A-Si Extinguishant Ancillary PCB

Ancillary PCB

Features Product Overview

UL864 and FM listed The Sigma A-XT Ancillary Board is compatible with all Sigma
A-XT control panels.
Two wire serial connection
The board provides volt free normally open contacts allowing
Up to 7 per system control of sub-systems and plant remotely from the main panel
over a two wire data bus.
Volt free relay outputs for fire and
releasing system status Ancillary boards require only a two core data cable from the main
control panel and a two core power cable from the main panel.
Relay operated LED indicators
Up to 7 Ancillary boards can be connected to a control panel and
each is allocated an address from 1 to 7 using a binary coded DIL
switch. The total length of the data cable from the main panel to
the last repeater must not exceed 4000 feet.

A mixture of status units and Ancillary boards, up to a maximum

of 7 of each type, can be connected to the serial data bus.
