2 Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

 Introduction

Description Note: AIM-200 features discussed in this document are available with
AIM-200 software part number 73264 or greater.
The Addressable Intelligent Module (AIM-200) functions as an interface
between the FC-2000 Fire Alarm Control Panel andintelligent/addressable
devices. To the FC-2000, the AIM-200 looks like an IZM-8 Initiating
Zone Module. On its single communications loop, the AIM -200 will
communicate with up to 99 addressable modules and 99 intelligent
detectors. The AIM-200 will communicate with the following:
2551J Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector
1551J Intelligent Ionization Smoke Detector
5551J Intelligent Thermal Sensor
M500MJ Addressable Monitor Module
M502MJ Addressable Monitor Module
M501MJ Miniature Monitor Module
M510CJ Addressable Control Module
BGX-101L Addressable Manual Pull Station
DH-500J Intelligent Duct Detector Housing
The 198 devices are mapped into eight software zones by the AIM -200.
The status of these zones is reported to the CPU -2000. The AIM-200
includes a digital display for identifying the exact device address within a
zone. The display is also used to display device types and analog detector
sensitivity values.
Although the AIM-200 is intended primarily as an initiating input module,
it can support M510CJ Control Modules on the loop. The M510CJ
modules may be mapped to AIM -200 zones much like outputs are mapped
to inputs during standard FC-2000 programming.
The AIM-200 may be mixed in a system with any of these system modules:
IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module
IZE-A Initiating Zone Expander
ICM-4 Indicating Circuit Module
ICE-4 Initiating Circuit Expander
CRM-4 Control Relay Module
CRE-4 Control Relay Expander

 VCM-4 Voice Control Module
VCE-4 Voice Control Expander
DCM-4 Dual Channel Module
TCM-2 Time Control Module (Single hazard release)
TCM-4 Time Control Module (Multiple hazard release)
In addition, ACM remote annunciators, AMG -1 and FFT-7
voice/telephone modules, and several power supplies can be employed with
an AIM-200.
Up to ten AIM-200s may be installed in one FC -2000 for a capacity of
1,980 points (subject to limitations of system power supply). Refer to the
AIM-200 Power Requirementssection of this document.

Optional
Peripherals
Intelligent
Detectors
B501BJ Base
These intelligent, addressable detectors provide analog information to
the AIM-200. The AIM-200 processes this analog information and
continually makes decisions on the alarm, maintenance, or normal status
of each device. Each detector head mounts to a B501BJ base for ease of
installation or replacement. The sensitivity of each detector can be set
by the programmer at the AIM-200 for one of three levels (low,
medium, and high). Each detector responds to an address that is set in
the head via built-in rotary decimal switches.

2551J
An intelligent photoelectric smoke detector that provides analog
measurements of the optical smoke level in its chamber to the AIM-200
panel.

1551J
An intelligent ionization smoke detector that measures the level of
combustion products in its chamber using the ionization principle and
reports this measurement to the AIM-200.

5551J
An intelligent thermal sensor (135
-degree F fixed temperature).

RA400Z
A remote single LED annunciator that can be wired directly off of an
addressable detector for annunciation of that detector’s alarm status.

Control and Monitor Modules

The M510CJ control module and the M500MJ monitor module provide
the interface between the FC-2000 and conventional initiating and
indicating devices. Both types of modules respond to an address that is
set by the installer with built
-in rotary decimal switches. A flashing LED
indicates power is applied. A thermoplastic cover (illustrated at left) is
provided with each module for mounting to a-inch4 square mounting

 Figure 6: Connecting the Alarm Bus Cable

Wiring the The AIM-200 communicates with intelligent and addressable initiating,
Communications monitor and control devices through a communications loop. The
Loop Circuit FC-2000 can support up to ten communications loops, each controlled by
an AIM-200 module. The communications loops can be wired as
non-redundant (Figure 9), redundant (Figure 12), or isolated redundant
(Figure 13).

Isolator Modules Isolator modules (M500XJ) permit a zone of detectors and modules to be
electrically isolated from the remainder of the communications loop,
allowing critical loop components to function in the event of a circuit fault
(see Figures 13 and 18).

Monitor Modules Addressable monitor modules (M500MJ, M502MJ, and M501MJ) allow
the AIM-200 to monitor entire circuits of conventional normally open
contacts, alarm initiating devices, manual pull stations,-wire
4 smoke
detectors, heat detectors, and waterflow and supervisory devices
(Figures 21 and 22). A type ofmonitor module, the addressable
BGX-101L, provides point annunciation of manual pull stations
(Figure 27).

12 Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

Control Modules Through addressable control modules (M510CJ), the FC -2000 can
selectively activate indicating appliance circuits or Form
-C output relays
(see Figures 23 through 27).

Intelligent Through the communications loop, the AIM -200 communicates with
Detectors intelligent ionization, photoelectric, and thermal detectors (Figure 28).

Loop Capacity The capacity of each AIM-200 includes up to 99 intelligent detectors and
an additional combination of up to 99 addressable pull stations, control
modules, and monitor modules. One to ten AIM -200s can be employed,
depending on system requirements.

 Branch Resistance
Short the termination point of one branch at a time and measure DC
resistance from the beginning of the loop to the end of that particular
branch. The total DC resistance from panel to branch end cannot exceed
40 ohms. Repeat this procedure for all remaining branches.

Figure 10: Redundant Circuit

Total length of the communications loop pair cannot exceed 10,000 feet
(measured from the control panel out, and back to the control panel).
The DC resistance of the communications loop pair cannot exceed
40 ohms. This measurement may be modeled by disconnecting loop out
and return at the control panel, shorting the two leads of communications
loop return together and metering loop out.

Isolated-Redundant Circuit
By flanking each communications loop device with a pair of M500XJ fault
isolator modules, each device is protected from short circuit faults that may
occur on other devices. For example, a fault on Zone 2 will not effect
Zones 1 and 3. The isolator modules on either side of Zone 2 will open the
loop. Zone 1 will still operate from power on loop out and Zone 3 will
operate from loop return. Since the system will no longer be able to
communicate with Zone 2, a trouble signal(s) will be generated for that
device.
This circuit is a variation of the redundant circuit, therefore, no-tapping
T
or branching is allowed. The ratings and characteristics are the same as for
the redundant circuit.

M500XJ Isolator
Module

Figure 17: M500XJ Isolator Module

The loop isolator module (M500XJ) is used to protect critical elements of

the communications loop from faults on other branches or sections of the
loop. The M500XJ continuously monitors the circuit connected to
Terminals 3 (-) and 4 (+). Upon power up, an integral relay is latched on.
The M500XJ periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on
the loop resets the relay. The M500XJ sees this short and disconnects the
faulted branch by opening the positive side of the loop (Terminal 4). This
effectively isolates the faulted branch from the remainder of the loop. Once
the fault is removed, the M500XJ automatically -applies
re power to the
communications loop branch. Figure 18 illustrates the use of an M500XJ
on a non-redundant communications loop. For employing M500XJs on a
redundant or isolated-redundant communications loop, see Figure 13.
Note: During a fault condition, the FC-2000 will register a trouble
condition for each zone mapped to the isolated loop branch.

Figure 18: Isolating Non-Redundant Communications Loops

Shorts on this branch of an isolated non-redundant communications loop

will be isolated from all devices installed both upstream of the M500XJ and
on the continuation of the loop (shown as dotted line).

 Style 6 Loop Operation
This LED indicates that the AIM-200 has been programmed for redundant
communications loop operation. Select or deselect for the entire loop by
pressing the control switch.
Note 1: To function as a redundant communications loop, the AIM
-200
loop must be wired in accordance with Figure 12.
Note 2: An isolated-redundant circuit is a variati
on of a redundant circuit
(see Figure 13). If wired as an isolated
-redundant
communications loop, the AIM -200 should be programmed for
redundant circuit operation.

Auto-Program Auto-Program is used when a system is first installed, or when device

Mode additions or deletions are necessary. It determines the number, address and
type of devices to be programmed by polling the addressable loop. The
AIM-200 determines which devices have been physically installed on the
loop and compares this information against the program stored in memory.
If a particular device responds differently, the AIM
-200 displays the new
address and type. If accepted by the programmer, the information is stored
in the non-volatile memory. Certain other parameters are pre -selected by
the AIM-200, such as zone assignment and detector sensitivity, with the
installer given an opportunity to change those parameters as desired.

Entering Once in Auto-Program mode, the AIM-200 turns off all LEDs, places a
Auto-Program flashing “AP” on the digital display, and begins polling all 198 possible
Mode addresses. It stores the address and type of each device as found. It then
compares each new address/type with the old information stored in its
memory. If the old and new address/type match, the AIM -200 proceeds to
the next address, and repeats. This process could take several seconds to
complete all devices. Only removal of the PK -1 key can abort the process.
If a mismatch is found between the actual devices installed on the loop and
the information in memory, information about the actual device is
displayed. The operator may accept the new device by pressing ENTER,
or reject the device and retain the information that was in memory by
pressing SKIP. Mismatches include an installed device that is not in
memory, a non-existing device that is in memory, or a different Type code.
After any mismatches are accepted or rejected, the AIM
-200 displays a
count of the number of programmed detectors, alternating with a count of
programmed modules. The operator may exit to: Program Edit mode by
pressing ENTER; Auto-Program mode (repeat) by pressing SKIP; or
normal operation by removing the PK-1 key.

Note: For the following feature to be enabled, the AIM

-200 requires
software Part No. 73264 or higher.
The CPU can be programmed for an alternate method of annunciating the
AIM-200. Up to 192 intelligent devices can be annunciated on a single
AIM-200 with ACM or LDM series annunciators, or the LCD -80 Liquid
Crystal Display on the RS-485 interface. The FC-2000 annunciates the
AIM-200 installed directly tothe right of the CPU. Note that an
annunciator cannot be used to execute manual ON/OFF control of
intelligent AIM-200 points, only standard FC-2000 zones. The option
provides annunciation of up to 256 points for the FC
-2000, broken down

Alarm Bus The alarm bus is implemented with a two wire daisy chain that connects to
each AIM-200. It is used to provide a manual evacuation control of
M510CJ modules and to manually silence these modules; for general alarm
control functions, and to provide a backup connection between multiple
AIM-200s so that the panel may still function in general alarm even if the
CPU fails.

48 Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

General Alarm M510CJ modules will be activated under a general alarm condition
Service provided that the module address is set to “59” or below and the module is
not mapped to any zone. In addition, the alarm bus cable must be
connected between the CPU and the AIM -200 (see Figure 6). This
connection puts the normally open contacts of the CPU Alarm Relay across
the pin connector on the AIM-200. When an alarm occurs, the alarm relay
changes state, closing the connection to the AIM-200 and signaling a
general alarm condition.
Note: The CPU alarm relay is dedicated to this function and should not be
connected to other circuits.
To ensure that general alarm functions properly, adhere to the following:
1. The CPU default program automatically maps the Form -C alarm relay
to all initiating zones in the system. While this is a default map, the
AIM-200 programmer should ensure that this relay is indeed mapped
to all initiating circuits, including the eight zones on each AIM
-200.
This guarantees that any alarm in the system will activate the alarm
relay, which will in turn signal a general alarm throughout all
AIM-200s on the alarm bus connection.
2. The alarm relay must be programmed as a non -coded point. If it is
not, the alarm relay contacts will pulse general alarm bus connection,
causing the AIM-200(s) to oscillate in and out of alarm.
3. The CPU alarm relay must be programmed as silenceable, permitting

the silencing of general alarm modules with software type

(see Figure 39).

Figure 39: Alarm Bus Activity

Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module 49
Backup Alarm The interconnection of alarm bus cables between each AIM-200 provides
Bus backup general alarm capability in the event of communications failure with
the CPU. Under this condition, the following events will take place.
When an alarm occurs on an AIM -200, output modules mapped to the
alarmed zone will be activated. The AIM -200, unable to communicate
with the CPU, will assume general alarm responsibility and will close its
own alarm bus cable connection. This has the same effect as a signal from
the alarm relay--all AIM-200s receive a alarm bus cable closure and enter a
general alarm condition.

Signal Silence
Function Signal Silence will only function for those M510CJs that have been

programmed as indicating appliance modules (software type )

and have been programmed for general alarm service (see the
General
Alarm Service section of this document).
The Signal Silence function is exercised by first closing, then opening, the
alarm bus cable connection. The closure occurs after initiation of an alarm-
-when the alarm relay changes state. The opening occurs when the
SIGNAL SILENCE switch is pressed--the Alarm Relay is silenced,
opening the alarm bus connection. This signals the AIM -200(s) to silence
all general alarm M510CJ modules.
Signal Silence has no effect on M510CJ Control Modules that are Form
-C

(Type ), address 60 or higher, or that are mapped to any AIM

-200
zone. These modules can only be silenced by the RESET switch on the
CPU.

50 Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

 Operating M510CJ Control
Modules

Optional M510CJ control modules can be installed on the AIM -200

addressable loop. When using one or more M510CJs, four types of control
options are available: General Alarm, Control
-by-Zone,
Control-by-Module, and Control-by-Detector. The M510CJ zone mapping
and address assignments required for each control option are described
below.

General Alarm To set up General Alarm, set M510CJ module address in the range of
01-59 and ensure that it has not been mapped to any zones. If an alarm
occurs on the alarm bus (see Figure 6 for wiring information), the M510CJ
will be activated. This type of control can also be executed using the
manual switch on the CPU board alarm relay (manual evacuation).

Zone applications. No special treatment is required to execute Control

If the AIM-200 detects an alarm from an intelligent detector or addressable
monitor module, it activates which ever zone(s) are mapped to this device.
All M510CJ modules assigned to the alarmed zone(s) will be activated.

follows:
1. Disable all eight AIM-200 zones using the DISABLE/ENABLE
control on the CPU.
2. Disable all M510CJ modules on the AIM
-200 by entering Program

Edit mode and selecting the code for each module. Remove
the programming key.
3. Reset the system. (The remainder of the system, including other
AIM-200s, continues to provide fire protection.)
4. Activate (alarm) each initiating device on the AIM
-200.
5. Return to the panel and verify that the AIM
-200 2 digit display is
stepping through all devices that were alarmed.
6. Reset the system and enable all eight AIM

Trouble During a trouble condition (with no alarm present) the digital display will
Condition show the address of the trouble. The detector and module LEDs will be
used to indicate the category of device in trouble.
Note: If a Style 6 loop fault exists, the display indicates “LF”
(Loop Fault). If communication is lost with the CPU -2000,
“SF” (System Failure) is displayed.
If multiple trouble conditions exist, the digital display steps through all
troubles automatically at a rate of one trouble per second. The STEP
switches may be used to manually control the digital display. Once a STEP
switch is pressed, the display advance is under control of these switches. If
a trouble(s) has been silenced and an device mapped to the same software
zone goes into trouble, the AIM-200 will resound the trouble signal and
flash appropriate LEDs.

54 Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

Step Switches Two switches, STEP FORWARD and STEP REVERSE, are provided for
advancing the display. If multiple alarms or troubles exist in the AIM
-200,
and the display is automatically advancing through them, pressing either of
these two switches will stop the automatic advance and allow the operator
to control the advancement through the display. If these two switches are
not pressed again during a period of about one minute, the display will
automatically resume stepping through existing events.
Each time a STEP switch is pressed, the digital display advances to the
next higher/lower address that is also in alarm or trouble. After all
addresses in alarm or trouble have been displayed, it returns to the first
address and continues.

Loop Fault LED NFPA Style 6 field wiring may be used to ensure full operation in the event
and RESET of a single break in the loop wiring. When set for Style 6, the AIM-200
latches a wire failure and then must be manually reset to-test
re and clear
the fault. When the loop fault is latched on, the AIM
-200 turns on the
yellow LOOP FAULT LED and reports trouble for all zones that are not in
alarm. If there is no alarm, “LF” is placed on the digital display. The
RESET switch or the System RESET clears the latch. If a loop fault still
exists, the trouble will then resound and re
-latch.
T-tap wiring is not allowed in the Style 6 configuration. Field wiring must
be returned to the AIM-200 terminal block as illustrated in Figure
12.

ON-LINE LED The green ON-LINE LED will flicker when communications occur on the
and SKIP interface to the CPU. The SKIP switch is used in programming the
Switch AIM-200. (See the Programming the AIM-200 section of this document.)

ENTER LED and This LED and switch are used in programming the AIM-200 (see the

Automatic The AIM-200 automatically test all detectors on its SLC loop. This test is
Detector Test similar to activating a detector with a test magnet.
The module periodically commands each detector, one at a time, to
respond with an appropriate alarm -like signal (pulse on the SLC loop). If
the proper response is not returned, the AIM -200 will register a trouble
condition for that detector. The trouble LED of the zone which that
detector is mapped to will illuminate and the piezo will sound.

Addressable Intelligent Module—AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module 55

 To determine which detector has failed the test, use the Display Status
function. The status of the faulty detector will be indicated by a “U”

(Unsatisfactory test) in the right digit of the display ( , ,

or ).
The RESET switch on the CPU must be pushed to clear the trouble status
from the device. Unless the detector has been repaired or replaced, the
AIM-200 will again register a trouble condition with the next device test.
Each detector will be tested at least every 24 hours.
The automatic test is not conducted for modules.

digit.

Displaying the After the AIM-200 has stepped through all detectors, it will begin displaying all
Status of modules. The digital display will repeatedly flash between the address and
Addressable type/status of the module assigned to the lowest address. The user can scroll
Modules through all modules using the STEP-FORWARD and STEP-REVERSE
switches. The SKIP switch advances through addresses rapidly.

Module Device Type/Status

The Device Type/Status field displays two characters for modules, outlined
below.

Table 14: Device Type/Status Field Characters

Left Digit Right Digit
G = Monitor Module or Pull Station Blank = Indicating circuit selected
C = Control Module A = Alarm
F = Fault--Trouble (open monitor module
zone; open or short M510CJ)
d = Disabled
O = Open (Form-C)
C = Closed (Form-C)
E = Error--No response from a device (the
AIM-200 is programmed for a device that is in
trouble or not physically installed on the loop).

 Advancing to an Address Range
By pressing any one of Zone Switches 1 through 8, the operator can
advance directly to a desired range of addresses. The AIM
-200 will jump
to the lowest address of a programmed device within that range. The
STEP-FORWARD and STEP-REVERSE switches can be used to move to
devices within each range.

Display Status Tips:

1. To view module status directly upon entering Display Status mode,
press the switch on Zone 8 and advance through devices 80
-99 (if
present). The AIM-200 will begin displaying modules directly after
the last detector.
2. The STEP-REVERSE switch can be used to back into a lower address
range. For example, to view the status of a device with Address “39,”
press the switch for Zone 4, then press the STEP
-REVERSE switch
once.

 Operating the AIM-200

Zone Display For each of the eight zone displays, a red LED, yellow LED and a switch
are provided. The 198-point capacity of the AIM-200 is assigned to these
zones using a “mapping” technique. Each of the 198 devices may be
mapped to one or more zones. If an initiating device mapped to more than
one zone is alarmed, all mapped zones will be placed into alarm. This type
of zoning could be used to provide a matrix, where one zone indicates the
area and another the type of device. For example, four zones could be
used to indicate floor of alarm, and three zones could be used to indicate
smoke alarm, manual station, and waterflow alarm. The eighth zone could
be used for supervisory devices (the supervisory devices would not be
mapped into a floor zone).

Figure 41: Zone Switch and LED Location

M510CJ Control Modules are activated by the AIM -200 when the zone
that they are mapped to enters an alarm condition. If a M510CJ is mapped
to more than one zone, it will be activated when any of the zones are in
alarm.
The zone LEDs and switches emulate the functions of an IZM -8 module
except when in Program/Display mode. Pressing the switch in
Program/Display mode displays all output circuits in the system that are
mapped to that zone.

 The AIM-200 zone assumes the status of any device mapped to that zone
that enters an alarm or trouble condition. If any of the initiating devices are
in alarm, the zone is reported in alarm. If one or more devices (including
M510CJ modules) are in trouble, and no alarms exist, trouble is reported
for the zone.
One trouble condition, called “Maintenance Alert,” will be reported for
analog detectors that give readings in the -19%
0 or 80-99% range. This
trouble condition will result only if the detector remains at this value
continuously for 24 hours (smoldering fires could linger here before
passing 100%). After the detector remains at this level for about 24 hours,
trouble is reported for that detector.

Digital Display The digital display provides two numeric digits. It displays the device
numeric address (01-99). To the right of the digital display are two green
LED’s: “Detector” and “Module.” When there are no devices in alarm or
trouble, and the system is not in a programming mode, the digital display is
blank.

Figure 42: Digital Display

Alarm Condition
When an alarm condition occurs, the address of the alarmed device will
appear in the 2-digit, 7-segment display. If multiple alarms occur, the
display will automatically advance through all alarms. The STEP switches
may be used to manually advance the display one alarm at a time. If it is
necessary to display trouble addresses when an alarm exists, the program
key must be inserted and the Display Status functions followed. If an
alarm(s) has been silenced, and an initiating device mapped to the same
software zone goes into alarm, the AIM -200 will resound the alarm signals
and flash appropriate LEDs.
