Description
This installation sheet includes information on the KE-IO3101 Intelligent Addressable Single Output Module (device type 1Oni).
The module is loop powered and provides a single unsupervised output with normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common (C) contacts. The module includes an integrated short circuit isolator and is suitable for indoor installation.
All 3000 Series modules support the Kidde Excellence protocol and are compatible for use with 2X-A Series fire alarm control panels with firmware version 5.0 or later.
Installation
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death from electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored energy to discharge before installing or removing equipment.
Caution: For general guidelines on system planning, design, installation, commissioning, use and maintenance, refer to the EN 54-14 standard and local regulations.
Installing the module
Always use the NeXT System Builder application to calculate the maximum number of modules that can be installed.
The module must be installed inside a compatible protective housing (not supplied) − we recommend the N-IO-MBX-1 DIN Rail Module Box. Remember to earth the protective housing.
Note: An alternative protective housing may be used providing it meets the specifications indicated in “Protective housing” on page 3.
Mount the protective housing onto the wall using a suitable mounting system for the wall characteristics.
Wiring the module
Connect the loop wires to the module as shown below. See Table 2 for recommended cable specifications.
Table 1: Loop connection
Terminal | Description |
B− | Negative line (–) |
A− | Negative line (–) |
B+ | Positive line (+) |
A+ | Positive line (+) |
Table 2: Recommended cable specifications
Cable | Specification |
Loop | 0.13 to 3.31 mm² (26 to 12 AWG) shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (52 Ω and 500 nF max.) |
Output | 0.13 to 3.31 mm² (26 to 12 AWG) shielded or unshielded twisted-pair |
Addressing the module
Set the device address using the DIP switch. The address range is 001-128.
The device address is the sum of the switches in the ON position, as shown below.
Status indications
The device status is indicated by the Device status LED (Figure 1, item 7), as shown in the table below.
Table 3: Device status LED indications
State | Indication |
Isolation active | Steady yellow LED |
Device fault | Flashing yellow LED |
Test mode | Fast flashing red LED |
Located device [1] | Steady green LED |
Communicating [2] | Flashing green LED |
- Indicates an active Locate Device command from the control panel.
- This indication can be disabled from the control panel or the Configuration Utility application.
The output status is indicated by the Output status LED (Figure 1, item 4), as shown in the table below.
Table 4: Output status LED indications
State | Indication |
Active | Flashing red LED (flashing only when polled, every 15 seconds) |
Fault | Flashing yellow LED (flashing only when polled, every 15 seconds) |
Test mode [1] Active Fault Normal
Selected for test [2] Test activation |
Steady red LED Steady yellow LED Steady green LED
Slow flashing green LED Slow flashing red LED |
- These indications are only visible when the module is in Test mode.
- Not activated
Maintenance and testing
Maintenance and cleaning
Basic maintenance consists of a yearly inspection. Do not modify internal wiring or circuitry.
Clean the outside of the module using a damp cloth.
Testing
Test the module as described below.
See Figure 1 for the location of the Test (T) button, Device Status LED, and Output status LED. See Table 3 and Table 4 for status LED indications.
To perform the test:
- Press and hold the Test (T) button for at least 3 seconds (long press) until the Device status LED flashes red (fast flashing), and then release the button.
The module enters Test mode.
The Device status LED flashes red for the duration of the test.
The Output status LED indicates the output state on entering Test mode: normal (steady green), active (steady red), or fault (steady yellow). The output can be tested in any of these states. - Press the Test (T) button again (short press).
If the output state is not activated, the Output status LED flashes green.
If the output state is activated, the Output status LED flashes red. - Press the Test (T) button again (short press) to start the test.
If the output state in step 2 (above) was not activated, the Output status LED flashes red.
If the output state in step 2 (above) was activated, the Output status LED flashes green.
Check that any connected devices or equipment operate correctly.
Press the Test (T) button again to switch the relay state again, if required. - To stop the test and exit Test mode, press and hold the Test (T) button again for at least 3 seconds (long press).
The module exits the test automatically after 5 minutes if the Test (T) button is not pressed.
After the test the output returns to its original state.
Note: The module exits Test mode automatically if the control panel sends a command to switch the relay (for example an alarm command) or if the control panel is reset.
