Input Output Modules Model GSA-UM

Manufacture: kidde

Product code: GSA-UM

The GSA-UM is Universal Class A/B Modules ⭐
✅ They are intelligent analog Addressable devices that are part of Kidde’s Signature Series system. The actual function of the module is determined by the “personality code” selected by the installer. This is downloaded to the module the Signature loop controller during system configuration. The GSA-UM and GSA-MAB gather analog information the slave devices connected to them and convert this digital signals. Each module’s on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm.

Product information

The GSA-UM is installed to a standard North American 2-gang electrical box, making it ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. The GSA-UM may be used to connect any one of the following:

• two Class B or one Class A Initiating Device Circuits

• one Class A or B Notification Appliance Circuit

• one Class A or B Circuit for 2-wire Smoke Detectors

• one Form “C” (NO/NC) Dry Output Contact Relay

Standard Features

• 15 modules in one Multiple applications including Class A or B device circuit wiring, Class A or B 2-wire smoke detector circuits and delayed latching (retard) for waterflow alarm applications. The installer selects one of up to 15 “personality codes” to be downloaded the loop controller.

• 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 the loop controller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. There are no switches or dials to set.

Installation

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