Model GCM-8

Graphics Control Module

Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION The Model GCM-8 Graphics Control Module from

Siemens Industry, Inc. is a remotely located module. It

provides twenty-four outputs to drive eight pairs of

LEDs. Each pair contains one bicolor (red/green) and

one yellow LED. It also provides eight inputs to connect

to external momentary switches. The functions of the

switches and LEDs are programmed by inserting an

SCM-8 in the Zeus Tool (Refer to the Zeus Quick Start

Guide, P/N 315-033875). All LEDs can be programmed

ON, OFF or FLASHING.

The GCM-8 is used for manual control of the fire

system.

There is an additional input for a momentary lamp test.

OPERATION The GCM-8 interfaces to eight switches and eight pairs

of LEDs. Each switch is associated with a pair of LEDs.

Pressing any of the eight switches generates a unique

CAN message on the bus to the NIC-C or DAC-NET that

indicates which switch was pressed. A CAN message

from the NIC-C or DAC-NET to the GCM-8 produces a

preprogrammed output to the corresponding LED (ON,

FLASHING or OFF). An open collector is provided for

connection to the CAN Sounder Board (CSB), a separate

audio module. The CSB provides an audible feedback to

indicate that the switch closed properly and that

communication between the GCM-8 and NIC-C or

DAC-NET was successful. Refer to the CSB Installation

Instructions, P/N 315-033040, for more information.

By shorting terminals 1 and 2 of TB1, all LEDs will turn

on to confirm that they are working and automatically

will return to their normal state after a few seconds. The

lamp test switch on multiple GCM-8s can be connected

to a single switch.

The address must be a sub-address of the NIC-C or DAC-NET and must be the same as the addresses assigned in the Zeus Programming Tool. To set the address, turn the pointers on each of the dials to the numbers for the selected address.
