Operation
The FX-IDC1B Analog Single Input Mini Module is an analog
addressable device used to connect a normally open, alarm,
supervisory, or monitor type dry contact initiating device circuit (IDC) to
a control panel. This module is designed for Class B circuit operation.
The device address is set using the two rotary switches located on the 1 2
front of the module. One device address is required.
1. Red LED: Alarm/active 2. Green LED: Normal
The module is factory set to operate as an alarm-latching device.
When the NO contact of an initiating device is closed, an alarm signal Figure 2: Module address
is sent to the control panel and the alarm condition is latched at the
1
module.
Additional device types are available through front panel programming
or the configuration utility. For additional information, refer to the
documents listed on the control panel label. 5 6 7 89 3

Wire the device as shown in Figure 3. Be sure to observe the polarity
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
of the wires.
WARNINGS All wiring is power-limited and supervised.
• This module does not operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruption, discuss further safeguards
with the local fire protection specialist.
• This module does not support conventional two-wire smoke
detectors.
Note: The module is shipped from the factory as an assembled unit; it
contains no user-serviceable parts and should not be disassembled.
To install the module:
1. Verify that all field wiring is free of opens, shorts, and ground
faults.
2. Make all wiring connections as discussed in “Wiring” and shown in
Figure 3.
3. Set the module address. Refer to the panel technical reference
manual for a list of valid addresses.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the two rotary switches on the front of
the module. Set the TENS rotary switch (0 through 12) for the 10s
and 100s digit and the ONES rotary switch for the 0 through 9
digit. For example: device address 21, set TENS rotary switch to 2
and set the ONES rotary switch to 1 (see Figure 2).
4. Position the module into the electrical box, behind the device to
which it connects.
