ALC-198S Single Intelligent Analog Loop Controller Module
The ALC-198S Single Intelligent Analog Loop Controller module provides a single addressable loop. It may be
mounted over the main chassis of the FX-2000 Fire Alarm Panel or on any chassis which supports adder boards.
Refer to on page 13. The module is mounted using 4 #6 screws and (if necessary) 4 11/2" spacers.
Power: The power is supplied to the board via cable from the main chassis board or from the previous loop
controller module into the P1 Power IN connector. The P2 Power OUT connector is connected to the next
loop controller module or other adder module. Two power cables are supplied with the module.
RS-485: The RS-485 cable comes attached at P3 and is connected to the main chassis board or from the previous
loop controller module or other adder board. The RS-485 OUT at P4 is connected to the next loop
controller module if used or left without connection.
DIP switches: The dip switches are used to set the address of the board. The address is binary, with the SW-1
switch as the lowest significant digit and OFF being active. For example an address of two is SW-1
ON, SW-2 OFF, and all the other dip switches SW-3 to SW-8 ON. Refer to Appendix E: DIP Switch
Settings Summary on page 72 for more information.
Loop 1: This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as shown in Figure 31: Single Loop
Terminal Connections - Class B on page 38, Figure 32: Single Loop Terminal Connections - Style 7 on
page 39, or Figure 33: Single Loop Terminal Connections - Style 6 on page 40.
Jumpers: A jumper is provided at JW2 for normal operation. To reset the board the jumper is left at JW2 and the
pins at position JW1 are shorted momentarily.
BDM Port: This connection is for factory use only.
