HLIM

The Siemens Model HLIM Loop Isolator Module isolates short circuits on analog fire alarm loops. It operates in both Class A and Class B circuits. When a short is detected, the HLIM isolates that part of the loop while allowing the rest to continue operating normally. It can isolate branches in Class B wiring or be wired in series for a single Class A loop. The HLIM automatically restores the loop when the short is removed without requiring programming.

Model HLIM
Loop Isolator Module

OPERATION The SIEMENS Model HLIM Loop Isolator Module isolates short circuits on FireFinder-
XLS analog loops. By placing devices between HLIMs during installation, a short in
the wiring within that group is disconnected from the rest of the loop. The remainder
of the devices continue
to operate. The HLIM
FRONT BACK
operates in both Class A
and Class B circuits.

short circuit. The HLIM OUT - LINE 2
then isolates that part of
the loop. When the short
is removed, the HLIM

operation. The HLIM
does not have a loop address and therefore does not require address programming
nor does it reduce the loop capacity below 252 devices.

Remove all system power before installation, first the battery and then the AC.

INSTALLATION The HLIM is a polarity insensitive module. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the
two input terminals and two output terminals. Line 1 and Line 2 can be either line of
the loop.

The HLIM may be used in two circuit configurations as follows:

Class B (See Figure 2) In Class B wiring each HLIM isolates a branch on the circuit. Note that
a short on the main branch causes the entire loop to fail. To prevent this, mount the
HLIMs at the FireFinder-XLS enclosure and run each branch independently.

Class A Single Loop (See Figure 3) In Class A wiring the HLIMs are wired in series with the loop wiring.
This results in a single continuous loop. If any group in the loop has a short, that
group is lost and a Class A circuit failure results. The FireFinder-XLS displays commu-
nication errors for the devices and a Class A failure for the loop itself.
