ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller Module
The ALC-396S Dual Intelligent Analog Loop Controller module provides a two addressable loops. It may be
mounted over the main chassis of the FX-2000 Fire Alarm Panel or on any chassis that supports adder boards.
Refer to page on page 13 for mounting applications. The module is mounted using four #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. Connect the P2 power out connector 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 either connected to the main chassis board or connected
from the previous loop controller module or other adder board. If the next loop controller module is used,
connect the RS-485 out at P4 to the next loop controller module; if it is not used, leave without connection.
DIP Switches: Use the DIP switches to set the binary address of the board. SW-1 is the lowest significant digit and
OFF is active. For example, an address of two would be created by turning SW-1 on, SW-2 off and
DIP switches SW-3 to SW-8 on. Refer to Appendix E: DIP Switch Settings Summary on page 72 for
DIP switch settings.
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 or Figure 32: Single Loop Terminal Connections - Style 7 on
page 39 and Figure 33: Single Loop Terminal Connections - Style 6 on page 40.
Loop 2: 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 or Figure 32: Single Loop Terminal Connections - Style 7 on
page 39 and 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, leave the jumper at JW2 and
momentarily short the pins at position JW1.
BDM Port: This connection is for factory use only.
