Description

The CE-S Addressable Control Element provides a set of Form C relay contacts and addressable electronics, enabling its use on the IXL System's Network Communication Lines. An optional trim plate, model FR5, is available for flush mounting. Each control element features an LED for indicating normal monitoring status or alarm activation.

Engineer and Architect Specifications

A control element shall be provided as model CE-S. This device shall connect to the Network Communication Lines and be field programmable for one of the following options: Remote Relay (Form C, 1 Amp. 24 VDC, 200mA 120 VAC) with supervised relay operation, or Remote Signal/Audio Circuit (1 Amp.). The device shall include an LED that flashes to indicate the unit is being monitored and remains steady to indicate the unit has been activated.

Operation

The CE-S Control Element connects directly to the system's Network Communication Line using either NFPA Standard 72, Style 6 (Class A) or NFPA Standard 72 Style 4 (Class B) wiring configuration. In the quiescent mode, the addressable electronics monitor the unit's internal operational status. The Control Element in its quiescent mode will flash a red LED to indicate that the monitored device is active and functional. In this state, the Form C contacts are de-energized. When an alarm occurs, the system program causes the associated Control Element to activate, energizing its relay. The relay remains energized as long as the Control Element is activated. The LED on the cover plate will remain lit continuously to indicate activation.

Trouble Reporting

The Control Element will report a Trouble condition whenever there is a break in the external wiring, internal circuitry fails, or if there is a Network Communication Line Break.

Programming

Programming of Control Elements must be performed when a new unit is installed. To program a Control Element, the control panel must be placed in programming mode. The address will be assigned to the Control Element that has the Programming Tool applied to it. The CE-S must have an EOL device in place to program if it is configured as a remote signal circuit. Refer to the IXL Programming Manual for CE-S and system configuration programming details.

Installation

CE-S Control Element(s) should be installed in accessible locations for maintenance purposes. They should be mounted (surface or flush) in visible locations so that their status LED may be seen for quick and easy verification.

Wiring Diagram

The wiring diagram illustrates connections from the IXL Control Panel to the CE-S module. It shows terminals labeled R, DATA, E, -V, and +24, with numbered connections 1, 2, 3, and 4. The diagram also indicates the path for 'TO NEXT DEVICE OR RETURN FOR CLASS A (STYLE 6)' and a 'SEE DETAILS' callout.

Diagram 1 depicts the Form C relay contacts, with terminals labeled NO (Normally Open), C (Common), and NC (Normally Closed).

Diagram 2 illustrates the Audio Circuit, suitable for UL Listed Audio Panels, Speaker Circuits, or UL Auxiliary VOC Power Supplies for Fire Protection Signalling. It includes a polarized indicating device and an End of Line (EOL) resistor (10K 1/2W).
