Eagle Quantum Premier®

8 Channel Enhanced Discrete
Input/Output Module (EDIO)
Model EQ3730EDIO

DESCRIPTION
The 8 Channel EDIO Module is specially designed
to expand the Input and Output capability of the
Det-Tronics Eagle Quantum Premier® System.

The unit is designed to provide continuous and

automated fire/gas protection, while ensuring system
operation through continuous supervision of System
Inputs/Outputs and Local Operating Network/Signaling
Line Circuit (LON/SLC) Class X monitoring in the
controller.

The EDIO module provides eight channels of

configurable input or output points that can be
programmed for supervised or unsupervised operation.
Each input point can accept fire detection devices such
as heat, smoke, or unitized flame detectors. Each output THEORY OF OPERATION
point can be configured for signaling or releasing output Each channel on the EDIO module can be configured
