Architect & Engineer Specifications Product Overview

 Supports up to 252 addressable points The Siemens – Fire Safety `Class X’ Device Loop Card (Model XDLC) is the interface
used for connecting Siemens addressable, intelligent `X’ as well as `H’-series devices.
 Operates and maintains all devices
residing on up to four (4) `Class A’, Each Model XDLC plugs into one (1) slot of the Model CC-2 or Model CC-5 card cage.
eight (8) `Class B’ addressable circuits Programming for Model XDLC is accomplished via the Cerberus PRO Modular system
 Compatible with Siemens intelligent, custom-configuration tool, Zeus-C. Model XDLC takes one (1) address on the
addressable ‘X’ and ‘H’-series devices: network, communicating up to a total 252 detectors and devices. Model XDLC has
