downloaded to the SIGA-CC1:

Personality Code 5: Riser Selector (Single Input)


The SIGA-CC1 is factory assigned personality code 5. Personality code
5 configures the SIGA-CC1 as a Signal Power (24VDC) or Audio
Evacuation (25 or 70 V) Riser Selector. Since the SIGA-CC1 is NOT
being used for telephone audio under this personality code, the ring-tone Single Input Signal Module, SIGA-CC1
generator is DISABLED. The output circuit is monitored for open or
shorted wiring. If a short exists, the control panel inhibits the activation of
the audible/visual signal circuit, so the riser is not connected to the wiring
fault.

Personality Code 6: Riser Selector (Single Input), Ring-Tone


Personality code 6 configures the SIGA-CC1 as a Telephone Riser
Selector. When a telephone handset is plugged into its jack or lifted from
its hook, the SIGA-CC1 will generate its own ring-tone signal (a separate
ring-tone riser is NOT needed). The module sends this signal to the
control panel to indicate that an off-hook condition is present, and waits
for the system operator to respond to the call. When the system operator
responds, the ring-tone signal is DISABLED.

PRODUCT INFORMATION APPLICATION INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION In a Class A circuit, a short will be isolated between the two (2) SIGA-IM
The Isolator Module, Model SIGA-IM is a component of the Signature Series modules located electrically closest to the short as shown in the two
System. The SIGA-IM is an analog addressable device used to protect a configurations below.
Class A data line from total collapse due to wire to wire short circuits. The
SIGA-IM monitors line voltages and opens the data line when a short is
detected. A short will be isolated between the two SIGA-IMs located
electrically closest to the short. The number of SIGA-IMs that can be
installed on a Signature Data Circuit (SDC) is limited only by the number of
detector addresses available on that SDC.

NORMAL ISOLATOR OPERATION


1. A short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec.
2. At 10 msec intervals, beginning on both sides nearest the loop controller,
the isolators close to provide the next isolator down the line with power.
3. When the isolator next to the short closes, it reopens within 10 msec.

ELECTRONIC ADDRESSING
The loop controller automatically assigns the address to the SIGA-IM or a
custom address can be assigned to the isolator modules via laptop
computer, no addressing switches are used. One (1) detector address is
required for each SIGA-IM. Refer to the appropriate manufacturer's
documentation for automatic and custom addressing.

STANDALONE ISOLATOR OPERATION


In the event of a communications failure with the Signature controller, the
SIGA-IM will isolate any existing short condition and remain open until
communications with the Signature controller is restored and the shorted
condition is removed. Refer to the applicable fire alarm control panel manual
to verify standalone capabilities.

MOUNTING
The SIGA-IM can be mounted in a North American 2-1/2" (64 mm) deep 2-
gang box, standard 4" square 1-1/2" (38 mm) deep box, or European 100
mm square box. The terminal blocks will accept #14, 16 or 18 AWG wire
(1.5 mm 2, 1.0 mm 2, 0.75 mm2 ). Sizes #16 and #18 are preferred.

Personality Code 7: Riser Selector (Dual Input)


Personality code 7 configures the SIGA-MCC2 as a one of two output
signal power (24 Vdc) or audio evacuation (25 or 70 Vac) riser selector. ! Caution!
Each output circuit is monitored for open and shorted wiring. If a short
exists, the control panel inhibits the activation of the audible/visual
signal circuit so the riser is not connected to the wiring fault. Observe static-sensitive material handling practices.
