GSA-CC1 Single Input Signal Module

Installation Sheet
Personality codes
The module requires the loop controller to download the
personality code that determines how the module operates.
Use the personality codes described below to configure the
GSA-CC1. See Table 1 for listing information.

fire alarm control panel provides this function.
To install a bipolar transient protector:
1. Install the transient protector on the output of the module.
Fit the transient protector into the electrical box with the
module. See Figure 2.

To wire the module:
1. Verify that all field wiring is free of opens, shorts, and
ground faults.
2. Make all the connections as shown in Figure 3 through
