CIM-8
Conventional Input Module
Description
Available in eight-zone increments, the Conventional Input Module (CIM)
monitors conventional type devices such as smoke detectors, heat detectors,
manual stations, and other contact type devices connected to Gamewell’s
IF632 and IF650 Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). The CIM can be
programmed to provide remote signal silence, acknowledge, reset, and drill
service. Each module has a display module providing LED annunciation of
alarms and troubles. The display module allows custom labeling of each
circuit. Each zone has a switch on the display module for programming of
zone functions, zone bypass, and walk test.
Standard Applications
The CIM monitors nonaddressable inputs to the IF632 and IF650 Fire
Alarm Panels. Each circuit can be individually programmed for Fire Alarm,
Security Alarm, Supervisory Alarm, Remote Reset, Acknowledge, Signal
Silence, or Drill. Zones can also distinguish between contact type devices
and a smoke detector in alarm, enhancing the alarm verification capabili-
ties on each circuit.
Operation
The CIM monitors each circuit’s current; the main CPU then interrogates
the CIM for the data returned from each circuit. If the CPU detects an off-
normal reading, the system executes its programmed response.
If the CPU receives a trouble response back from the module, the system
will initiate the appropriate trouble sequence. If the response from the
module indicates a device in alarm, the CPU will identify the type of device
and will initiate the pre-programmed alarm sequence.
