Model CDC-4
Conventional Detector Card

INTRODUCTION The Model CDC-4 from Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. is

a card that allows conventional detectors to be used on the
FireFinder-XLS system. It provides four Class A or Class B
conventional detection zones. Each zone can support two-wire
photoelectric or ionization compatible smoke detectors and an
unlimited number of normally open circuit closure devices. The
module also supports Siemens Fire Safety flame and beam
detectors. The relay base, remote lamp and audible base may
also be used with the CDC-4. The CDC-4 uses one network
address on the FireFinder-XLS system. It has diagnostic LED
indicators showing module status and the status of each zone.

OPERATION Activation of any device on the circuit initiates a zone alarm and
causes any previously programmed functions to operate. Any
circuit in an alarm or trouble condition is displayed on the PMI.

The CDC-4 is designed to function in a local degrade mode

during failure of the FireFinder-XLS main processor or during
the loss of the system communication network. While in the
degrade mode, the CDC-4 can report both alarm and trouble
conditions and can activate local outputs on other modules
within the same enclosure.

The maximum zone alarm current can be set to either 175mA

or 100mA and is set in pairs for zones 1/2 and 3/4. When a
compatible detector is selected in the Zeus Programming Tool,
the maximum zone alarm current is automatically set by the
CDC-4. Detectors requiring the 100mA zone current limit (see
table on page 11) cannot be used on the same zone pair as
detectors requiring the 175mA zone current limit (see table on
pages 7-11). Figure 1
CDC-4 Conventional
CDC-4 zones may be configured either as alarm-causing or Detector Card
supervisory-causing, if allowed by the local Authority Having
Jurisdiciton.

Do not use shorting devices on circuits with accessories on them. The shorting
devices will lower the zone voltage to a point where the accessories will not operate.

 Any or all of the CDC-4 circuits may be programmed to operate with Alarm Verifica-
tion. This allows the automatic verification of alarm conditions caused by smoke
detectors in order to prevent nuisance alarms. For further information, refer to the
FireFinder-XLS Manual, P/N 315-033744.

When upgrading the firmware in the CDC-4, be sure to check the PC board version.
Version 2.0 and above firmware are only compatible with PC board P/N 580-034888.
If version 2.0 or above firmware is uploaded into the older version of the CDC-4, the
PMI displays “ROM SW Version Error”. The PC board revision number is printed on
the back of the CDC-4 board.

Controls and Indicators The front panel of the CDC-4 contains one reset switch, sixteen LEDs, and three
HNET address switches as shown in Figure 1

A reset switch is located on the top of the front panel. Pushing the reset switch re-
initializes the CDC-4 operation (similar to a cold boot).

The LEDs follow the reset switch and their functions are defined as follows:

POWER (Green) Normally ON. When illuminated, indi-

cates that power for the CDC-4 is applied
to the card.

CARD FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that the card microprocessor has
failed.

HNET FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that the HNET communication with
the CDC-4 has terminated and the card
goes into degrade mode (applicable only
when card resides in the HNET network).

GND FAULT (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that the CDC-4 has detected either
a negative or positive ground fault.

ZONE 1 ALARM (Red) Normally OFF. When illuminated indi-

cates that an alarm condition has been
detected in Zone 1. It will stay on
continuously until the system is reset.

ZONE 1 TROUBLE (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates

that a trouble condition has been de-
tected in Zone 1. It will stay on continu-
ously until the condition is cleared.

ZONE 1 CLASS A OPEN (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that there is a break in the Class A
wiring in Zone 1.

ZONE 2 ALARM (Red) Normally OFF. When illuminated indi-

cates that an alarm condition has been
detected in Zone 2. It will stay on
continuously until the system is reset.

tected in Zone 2. It will stay on continu-
ously until the condition is cleared.

cates that there is a break in the Class A

ZONE 3 ALARM (Red) Normally OFF. When illuminated indi-

cates that an alarm condition has been
detected in Zone 3. It will stay on
continuously until the system is reset.

ZONE 3 TROUBLE (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates

that a trouble condition has been de-
tected in Zone 3. It will stay on continu-
ously until the condition is cleared.

ZONE 3 CLASS A OPEN (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that there is a break in the Class A
wiring in Zone 3.

ZONE 4 ALARM (Red) Normally OFF. When illuminated indi-

cates that an alarm condition has been
detected in Zone 4. It will stay on
continuously until the system is reset.

ZONE 4 TROUBLE (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates

that a trouble condition has been de-
tected in Zone 4. It will stay on continu-
ously until the condition is cleared.

ZONE 4 CLASS A OPEN (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that there is a break in the Class A
wiring in Zone 4.

Three rotary dial switches at the bottom of the front panel are used to set the HNET
network address of the CDC-4.

PRE-INSTALLATION The network address switches must be set prior to inserting the card into the CC-5
(refer to Figure 1):

Network Address Switches: Set the three-digit HNET network address for the
CDC-4 using the three rotary dial address switches located near the bottom of the
HUNDREDS
front panel. (Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switches.) The address for the
TENS
CDC-4 must be the same as the address selected for it in the Zeus Programming
ONES Tool. To set the address, turn the pointers on each of the three dials to the numbers
HNET
for the selected address. For example, if the address is 123, set the pointer for the
HUNDREDS dial to “1”, set the pointer for the TENS dials to “2”, and set the pointer
for the the ONES dial to “3”. The range of allowable addresses is from 001 to 251
(leading zeros must be used).

INSTALLATION The CDC-4 plugs perpendicularly into one slot in the CC-5 card-cage via two 96-pin
DIN connectors and can occupy any slot in the card cage. (Refer to Figure 4.)

Insert the CDC-4 card into the card guides rightside up

(lettering on the front panel is legible).

Slide the card in until the card edge connectors contact

the receptacles on the motherboard.

Verify that the DIN connectors of the card and the card-
cage aligned properly. The card can only plug in one
direction to the card cage, if it does not align, DO NOT
FORCE the card.

Place thumbs on the front panel adjacent to the captive

screws and gently apply even pressure on the card until
the connectors seat in the receptacles on the
motherboard. Secure with the captive screws.

Power up the system and verify that the CDC-4 power

LED turns ON.

INITIATING DEVICES Refer to the UL Compatible Two-Wire Detector List for the number of detectors that
may be used on a CDC-4 zone.

Refer to Figure 3 for initiating device wiring. All circuits are power limited to NFPA 70
per NEC 760. Each detector or group of detectors must use a two-wire circuit of at
least 18 AWG, thermoplastic fixture wire, enclosed in conduit. If permitted by local
building codes, 18 AWG limited energy, shielded cable without conduit may also be
used.

Total circuit resistance must not exceed 70 ohms—40 ohms if accessories (relay/
audible bases) are used.

If the smoke detector has an alarm verification function, the circuit must not be
programmed for alarm verification.

See NFPA 72 Standard for the number of normally open contact devices allowed.

See UL Compatible Two-Wire Detectors for the list of compatible devices.

For specific wiring and installation information, read the instructions provided with
each device.
