1 | Overview
The B308 Octo-output Module is a supervised device that
provides 8 programmable outputs (Form C relays) and connects
to control panels through the SDI2 bus. Each output provides
dry contact switching rated for a maximum of 1.0 A at 24 VDC.
The outputs are accessed through on-board screw terminal
connections. The address switches are used to set the module’s
SDI2 address. Control panel programming determines each
output’s response to specifi c events. The B308 receives serial
data from the control panel and activates outputs in response
to control panel conditions and settings. Outputs can be
programmed for remote control from a control panel keypad.

3 | Installation
After you set the address switches for the proper address,
install the module in the enclosure, and then wire it to the
control panel.
CAUTION!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any
connections. Failure to do so might result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.

2 | SDI2 address settings
Two address switches determine the address for the B308
Octo-output Module. The control panel uses the address for
communications. The address also determines the output
numbers. Use a slotted screwdriver to set the two address
switches.
NOTICE!
The module reads the address switch setting only
during power up. If you change the switches after
you apply power to the module, you must cycle the
power to the module to enable the new setting.
Set the address switches per the control panel confi guration. If
multiple B308 modules reside on the same system, each B308
module must have a unique address.
The module’s address switches provide a tens and ones value
for the module’s address. For single-digit address numbers 1
through 9, set the tens switch to 0 and the ones digit to the
appropriate number. Figure 2.1 shows the address switches
setting for addresses 1 and 11.
2.1 | Valid addresses and output numbers per
control panel
Valid B308 addresses are dependent on the number of outputs
allowed by a particular control panel.

D7212GV4 01 - 02 11 - 18, 21 - 24
To determine the output numbers for each address, multiply
the address number by 10 for the base number, and then use
numbers 1 through 8 in the ones place for the output numbers.
For examples, refer to Section 8.

Mount the module into the enclosure’s 3-hole mounting
pattern using the supplied mounting screws and mounting
bracket. Refer to Figure 3.1.

3.2 | Mount and wire the tamper switch
You can connect an optional enclosure door tamper switch
for one module in an enclosure.
Installing the optional tamper switch:
1. Mount the ICP-EZTS Tamper Switch (P/N: F01U009269)
into the enclosure’s tamper switch mounting location.
For complete instructions, refer to EZTS Cover and Wall
Tamper Switch Installation Guide (P/N: F01U003734).
2. Plug the tamper switch wire onto the module’s tamper
switch connector. Refer to Figure 1.1.
3.3 | Wire to the control panel
When you wire the module to a control panel, you can use either
the module’s terminal strip labeled with PWR, A, B, and COM,
or the module’s interconnect wiring connectors (wire included).
Interconnect wiring parallels the PWR, A, B, and COM terminals
on the terminal strip. Figure 1.1 indicates the location of both
the terminal strip and the interconnect connectors on the
module.
Refer to Figures 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.
NOTICE!
Use either the terminal strip wiring or interconnect
wiring connector to the control panel. Do not use
both. When connecting multiple modules, you can
combine terminal strip and interconnect wiring
connectors in series.

3.4 | Relay output wiring
Each output provides a NO and a NC output. The NO, C
(COMMON), and NC terminals are available in each terminal
or connection output position. The silkscreen on the edge of
the B308 circuit board clearly identifi es the function of each
terminal and the relay output number.
The middle terminal of each output position is the COMMON
of the output and is labeled C. When the output is in an
inactive state, the NC (Normally Closed) terminal has
continuity with the C terminal. When the output is in an
active (energized) state, the NO (Normally Opened) has
continuity with the C terminal.
NOTICE!
Do not exceed relay contact ratings of 1.0 A, 24
VDC, resistive load.

The module includes one blue heartbeat LED to indicate
that the module has power and to indicate the module’s
current state. Refer to Table 4.1.

other trouble condition prohibits the
module from controlling the heartbeat

5 | Show the fi rmware version
To show the fi rmware version using an LED fl ash pattern:
- If the optional tamper switch is installed:
With the enclosure door open, activate the tamper switch
(push and release the switch).
- If the optional tamper switch is NOT installed:
Momentarily short the tamper pins.
Refer to Figure 5.1 for an example of fl ash pattern
Figure 5.1: Firmware LED fl ash patterns
When the tamper switch is activated, the heartbeat LED
stays OFF for 3 second before indicating the fi rmware
version. The LED pulses the major, minor, and micro digits of
the fi rmware version, with a 1 second pause after each digit.
In the following example, the version 1.4.3 shows as LED
fl ashes:
[3 second pause] *___****___*** [3 second pause, then
normal operation].
