MODEL ICP-B6
Intelligent Control Point
The SIEMENS Model ICP-B6 Intelligent

Control Point can be used as an independent,
remotely located telephone zone, a speaker
zone (25V or 70.7V RMS), or notification
appliance circuit (NAC), depending on how it is
configured. It communicates through the
analog loop of the MXL/MXLV System.
OPERATION
Up to 12 ICP-B6s can connect to each analog
loop of the MXL/MXLV. These modules must
be connected to the first 12 address locations
on the analog loop.
The 24 VDC power input for each ICP-B6
comes from either the MMB, the PSR, or from
an auxiliary power supply which is power
limited and UL listed for fire protective signaling use and is rated between 24 and 27.3
VDC. Each ICP-B6 can be assigned a 32character, custom alphanumeric message.
Each module uses one address on either the
analog loop of the ALD-2I module or the analog
loop of the MMB board. (See Figure 1.)
To Set the ICP-B6 Module Address:

1. Plug the programming cable of the DPU or
FPI-32 Programmer/Tester (SensorLINK)
into the two-pin receptacle on the ICP-B6.
(See Figure 2 for location only.)
2. Set the system address for the ICP-B6 by
following the instructions in the FPI-32
(SensorLINK) Programmer/Tester Manual,
P/N 315-090077, or the DPU User's
Manual, P/N 315-033260, as applicable.
Remove all system power before installation, first battery and then AC. (To power
up, connect the AC first, then the battery.)
All wiring must comply with

national and local codes.
The ICP-B6 should be installed in a UL
listed electrical box. (See Figure 10.)
Analog Loop
Addressing and Testing

Use the DPU Device Programming Unit or the
FPI-32 Programmer/Tester (Sensor-LINK) to
program and test the module.
NOTE: With FPI-32 Rev. 1.3 software, only
1=MXL mode should be used when
programming a device.

The ICP-B6 communicates with the MXL

through its analog addressable loops. These
loops are on either the MMB or on the optional
ALD-2I module of the MOM-4. They may be
wired for Class A (Style 6) or Class B (Style 4).
Figure 1 shows both wiring types and the
connections to either the MMB or to the
MOM-4 when the ALD-2I module is used. The
table on the following page lists the maximum
output currents allowed.

The ICP-B6 module can be used in four

different ways:
1. Using the ICP-B6 as an NAC Module
When used as an NAC module, the output

circuit is power limited. The ICP-B6 maximum
current is 1.5A at 24 VDC. If the 24 VDC is
lost or the NAC line is broken or shorted, the
trouble condition INPUT DEVICE RESPONSE
TOO LOW displays at the MXL/MXLV control
panel. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for the connections used with the TRI-60/B6 module and
the PSR-1 module, respectively. See the Line
Resistance chart for the allowable line resistance for each ICP-B6 output circuit.
This notification appliance application uses the

principle of polarity reversal when there is an
alarm. Figure 2 shows the polarity connection
in a supervisory condition. When using the
ICP-B6 as a supervised NAC output module
with notification appliance devices, cut jumper
JP2. Refer to Figure 2 for additional connection and jumper information, and to P/N 315096363 for a list of compatible devices.

NOTES:
1. Resistances specified are for both wires.
2. If higher currents are required, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. recommends using a local
auxiliary supply which is UL listed for fire protection signaling use. The supply should be rated
between 24 and 27.3 VDC.

2. Using the ICP-B6 as a Telephone Zone
both system circuits and earth ground and

that the shields are connected together
using terminal 5 of TB-2.
When the ICP-B6 is used as a telephone zone

module, the 24 VDC provides supervision,
trouble, and call-in conditions. If the 24 VDC is
lost, the trouble condition INPUT DEVICE
RESPONSE TOO LOW displays at the MXL/
MXLV and an LED for that zone lights at the
VSM-1 module.
3. Using the ICP-B6 as a 70 Volt Speaker

Zone
When the ICP-B6 is used as a speaker zone,
the 24 VDC provides the supervision. If the 24
volts is lost or there is an open or shorted
speaker output line, the trouble condition
INPUT DEVICE RESPONSE TOO LOW
displays at the MXL/MXLV and the related
zone LED on the VSM-1 lights.
The supervised telephone common talk riser

starts at the TBM module in the MME-3 backbox. The Class B shielded cable connects
continuously to each ICP-B6 with a 5.6K end of
line device. Tie the shield of these riser wires
and the shield of the zone output wires together
using terminal 5 of TB2 and isolate them from
the system circuits and the earth ground.
The 70.7V RMS audio input comes from the

amplifier via the ASC-2 Amplifier Supervision
card. The ASC-2 supervises the audio connection path to the ICP-B6 and provides up to 100
watts of power. The ASC-2 can be used as
Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A). Refer to
the ASC-2 Instructions, P/N 315-092085.
Connect the supervised individual zone output

connections from each ICP-B6 to the field
telephone with shielded cable. Terminate them
at the last station with a 10K ohm end of line
resistor. As with the common talk line described in the paragraph above, be sure that
the shield is continuous and isolated from

the output speaker lines are supervised and
power limited. The audio output cannot exceed
25 watts. Connect the speaker output as either

Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A). Figure 6
gives the approximate decibel loss for the total
speaker zone wire length for various wire
gauge sizes.
When using the ICP-B6 as a 70.7V RMS
speaker zone, cut the JP1 jumper. (See
Figure 8.)
4. Using the ICP-B6 as a 25 Volt Speaker
Zone
the 24 VDC provides the supervision. If the 24
volts is lost or there is an open or shorted
speaker output line, the trouble condition
INPUT DEVICE RESPONSE TOO LOW
displays at the MXL/MXLV and the related
zone LED on the VSM-1 lights.

The 25V RMS audio input comes from the

amplifier via the ASC-2 Amplifier Supervision
card. The ASC-2 supervises the audio connection path to the ICP-B6 and provides up to 100
watts of power. The ASC-2 can be used as
Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A). Refer to
the ASC-2 Instructions, P/N 315-092085.
the output speaker lines are supervised and
power limited. The audio output cannot exceed
35 watts. Connect the speaker output as either
Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A). Figure 7
gives the approximate decibel loss for the total
speaker zone wire length for various wire
gauge sizes.
When using the ICP-B6 as a 25V RMS
speaker zone, cut the JP2 jumper (See
Figure 9).

MOUNTING
(See Figure 10)
1. Use a standard 3 1/2-inch deep, double
gang electrical switchbox or a 4-inch
square electrical box that is 2 1/2 inches
deep with either a 1 1/2-inch deep
extension or a 1 1/4 -inch deep plaster ring
extension.
2. Connect the field wiring. Insert the ICP-B6
into the box and fasten the module plate to
the box.
NOTE:
When using the double gang

switchbox or the plaster ring
extension, use the same four
screws to fasten both the module
and the blank plate (user supplied).
3. Cover the module front plate with a 4-inch

blank plate (user supplied) and fasten with
two plate screws.
