ALC-H16 Hardwire Loop Controller Module
The ALC-H16 Hardwire Loop Controller module provides an interface in order to add 16 conventional adder boards.
This board may be mounted over the main chassis of the FX-2000 Fire Alarm Panel or on any chassis which
supports adder boards. Refer to page on page 13 for mounting applications. Mount the module 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.
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.
P13 and P12 Connectors: Connect the P13 connector (via ribbon cable included with this module) to the first
module of the first group of eight conventional adder modules. Connect the P12
connector (via ribbon cable included with this module) to the first module of the second
group of eight conventional adder modules.
