Life Safety Systems Intelligent Input/Output

Overview
SIGA-CC1/MCC1 Single Input Signal Modules and SIGA-CC2/MCC2 Dual Input Signal Modules are part of GE Securitys Signature Series system. They are intelligent analog addressable devices used for connecting, upon command from the loop controller, supervised Class B signal or telephone circuits to their respective power inputs. The power inputs may be polarized 24 Vdc to operate audible and visible signal appliances or 25 and 70 VRMS to operate audio evacuation speakers and firefighters telephones. The actual operation of the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 and SIGA-CC2/MCC2 is determined by the personality code selected by the installer. It is downloaded to the module from the Signature loop controller during system configuration. The SIGA-CC1 and SIGA-CC2 mount to standard North American two-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. The SIGA-MCC1 and SIGA-MCC2 are part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. They function identically to the SIGA-CC1 and SIGA-CC2, but take advantage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that characterize all UIO modules. Two- and six-module UIO motherboards are available. These can accommodate individual risers for each on-board module, or risers that are shared by any combination of its UIO modules. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures.

Standard Features
Single and Dual input (riser) select Use for connecting supervised 24 Vdc Audible/Visible signal circuits, or 25 and 70 VRMS Audio Evacuation and Telephone circuits to their power inputs. Ring-tone generator When configured for telephone circuits, the SIGA-CC1 generates its own ring-tone signal eliminating the need for a separate ringtone circuit. Plug-in (UIO) or standard 2-gang mount UIO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are required. The 2-gang mount version is ideal for remote locations that require a single module. Automatic device mapping Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature devices on the wire loop. Electronic addressing Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop controller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool; there are no switches or dials to set. Intelligent device with microprocessor All decisions are made at the module to allow lower communication speed with substantially improved control panel response time and less sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties; twisted or shielded wire is not required. Ground fault detection by address Detects ground faults right down to the device level.

Installation
The SIGA-CC1 and SIGA-CC2: mount to North American 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) deep two-gang boxes and 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) deep 4-inch square boxes with two-gang covers and SIGA-MP mounting plates. The terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2) wire size.

Application
The operation of the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 and SIGA-CC2/MCC2 is determined by their sub-type code or Personality Code. The code is selected by the installer depending upon the desired application and is down-loaded from the loop controller. Codes 5 and 6 apply to the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 only. Code 7 is assigned to the SIGA-CC2/MCC2 only and automatically applies to both circuits (A and B). Personality Code 5: SIGNAL POWER or AUDIO EVACUATION (SINGLE RISER). Valid for the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 only. Configures the module for use as a Class B Audible/Visible Signal power (24 Vdc polarized) or Audio Evacuation (25 or 70 VRMS) power selector. The ring-tone 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/visible signal circuit to prevent connection to the power circuit. Personality Code 6: TELEPHONE w/RING-TONE (SINGLE RISER). Valid for the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 only. Configures the module for use as a Telephone power selector. When a telephone handset is plugged into its jack or lifted from its hook, the module generates its own Ring-Tone signal. A separate ring-tone circuit is not needed. The module sends this signal to the control panel to indicate that an off-hook condition is present. When the system operator responds to the call, the ring-tone signal is disabled. Personality Code 7: SIGNAL POWER or AUDIO EVACUATION (DUAL RISER). Valid for the SIGA-CC2/MCC2 only. Configures the module for use as a two circuit Class B Audible/Visible Signal power (24 Vdc polarized) or Audio Evacuation (25 or 70 VRMS) power selector. The single output circuit is monitored for open or shorted wiring. If a short exists, the control panel inhibits the activation of the audible/ visible signal circuit to prevent connection to the power circuit.

SIGA-MCC1 and SIGA-MCC2: mount the UIO motherboard inside a suitable GE Security enclosure with screws and washers provided. Plug the SIGA-MCC1 or SIGA-MCC2 into any available position on the motherboard and secure the module to the motherboard with the captive screws. Wiring connections are made to the terminals on the motherboard (see wiring diagram). UIO motherboard terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2) wire size.

Compatibility
The Signature Series modules are compatible only with GE Securitys Signature Loop Controller.

GE Security recommends that this module be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes. Electronic Addressing - The loop controller electronically addresses each module saving valuable time during system commissioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a soft address to each serial number. If desired, the modules can be addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. Personality Codes 5 and 6 apply to the SIGA-CC1/MCC1 only and are assigned by the installer. Code 7 applies to the SIGA-CC2/ MCC2 only. It is factory assigned; no user configuration is required.

Testing & Maintenance

The modules automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defective and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each module and other pertinent messages. Single modules may be turned off (de-activated) temporarily, from the control panel. Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards.

Signature Series Overview

The Signature Series intelligent analog-addressable system from GE Security is an entire family of multi-sensor detectors and mounting bases, multiple-function input and output modules, network and non-network control panels, and user-friendly maintenance and service tools. Analog information from equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each Signature device measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The microprocessor in each Signature device provides four additional benefits Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log Each Signature Series device constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This information is accessible for review any time at the control panel, PC, or using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. The information stored in device memory includes: Device serial number, address, and type Date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last maintenance date Number of recorded alarms and troubles Time and date of last alarm Most recent trouble code logged by the detector 32 possible trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults. Automatic Device Mapping The Signature Data Controller (SDC) learns where each devices serial number address is installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps a map of all Signature Series devices connected to it. The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired circuits between each device can be examined. Layout or as-built drawing information showing branch wiring (T-taps), device types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy. This takes the mystery out of the installation. The preparation of as-built drawings is fast and efficient. Device mapping allows the Signature Data Controller to discover: Unexpected additional device addresses Missing device addresses Changes to the wiring in the circuit. Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the installer to determine their actual function. Personality codes are downloaded from the SDC during system configuration and are indicated during device mapping. Standalone Operation A decentralized alarm decision by the device is guaranteed. Onboard intelligence permits the device to operate in
EST3 V.2 only. Retrievable with SIGA-PRO programming tool.
