Monitor Modules with FlashScan®

General
Four different monitor modules are available for Honeywell’s
intelligent control panels for a variety of applications. Monitor
modules supervise a circuit of dry-contact input devices, such
as conventional heat detectors and pull stations, or monitor
and power a circuit of two-wire smoke detectors
(TC841A1000).
TC809A is a standard-sized module (typically mounts to a 4"

6999cov.jpg
[10.16 cm] square box) that supervises either a Class A (Style
D) or Class B (Style B) circuit of dry-contact input devices.
TC809B1008 is a miniature monitor module (a mere 1.3"
(3.302 cm) H x 2.75" (6.985 cm) W x 0.5" (1.270 cm) D) that
supervises a Class B (Style B) circuit of dry-contact input TC809A1059 (Type H)
devices. Its compact design allows the TC809B1008 to often
be mounted in a single-gang box behind the device it monitors.
TC841A1000 is a standard-sized module that monitors and
supervises compatible two-wire, 24 volt, smoke detectors on a supervisory indication at the control panel. Monitored circuit

The TC841A1000 Interface Module is intended for use in intel-
ligent, addressable systems, where the individual address of
each module is selected using built-in rotary switches. This
module allows intelligent panels to interface and monitor two-
wire conventional smoke detectors. It transmits the status (nor-
mal, open, or alarm) of one full zone of conventional detectors
back to the control panel. All two-wire detectors being moni-
tored must be UL compatible with the module. TC841A1000
