Input Output Modules Model GSA-UM

Manufacture: kidde

Product code: GSA-MAB

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 from the Signature loop controller during system configuration. The GSA-UM and GSA-MAB gather analog information from the slave devices connected to them and convert this into 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-MAB is part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. It takes advantage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that characterizes all UIO modules. Two- and sixmodule UIO motherboards are available. These can accommodate individual risers for each on-board module, or shared risers in any combination with their UIO modules. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in Kidde enclosures. The GSA-MAB may be used to connect any one of the following:

• one Class B or one Class A Initiating Device Circuit

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

• one Class A or B Notification Appliance Circuit

Installation

GSA-MAB: mount the UIO motherboard inside a suitable Kidde enclosure with screws and washers provided. Plug the module 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.
