Product Overview
The Model TR
I-series of intelligent interface
modules from Siemens
─ Fire Safety is designed to
provide the means of interfacing direct shorting
devices to Model MLC for the FireFinder XLS FACP,
or to Model ALD for the MXL system, respectively.
The Model TR
I-series of intelligent interface
modules provides the most advanced method of
address programming and supervision
─ combined
with sophisticated FACP communication. Each
Model TR
I-series interface module incorporates a
microcomputer chip. In turn, the microcomputer-
chip technology and its sophisticated bi-directional
communication capabilities with the FACP, achieve
the state of an ‘
Intelligent Device.’
Specifications
The Model TRI-series of intelligent interface
modules is available in three (3) models. Models
TR
I-S and TRI-R are designed to monitor a normally
o
pen (N.O.) dry contact. The interface module
reports the contact’s status to the FACP.
The sole purpose of Model TR
I-S is to monitor and
report the status of the contact, while Model TR
I-R
incorporates an addressable ‘Form C’ relay. The
relay and contact device input for Model TR
I-R are
controlled at the same address. The relay and input
contact can be controlled as a separate function.
The relay is typically used where control or shunting
of external equipment is required.
Model TR
I-D is a dual-input module that is designed to
supervise and monitor two (2) sets of dry contacts.
Model TR
I-D requires two (2) address settings. Model
TR
I-D is ideal for monitoring a waterflow switch and its
respective valve tamper switch.
Model TR
I-series has a multi-color LED that flashes
green when operating normally; amber, if unit is in
trouble condition, and red to indicate a change of
status command. Model TR
I-D flashes two (2) times ─
once for each address, and the red LED of Model TR
I-R
indicates a change of state in the relay.
