SIGA-UM Universal Class A/B Module
Installation Sheet
Personality codes
Use the personality codes described below to configure the
SIGA-UM module. See Table 1 on page 2 for listing
information. See Table 2 on page 8 for personality code
electrical characteristics.
Personality code 1: Alarm - NO latching (Class B). Factory
default. Configures input 1 or 2 for Class B, normally open dry
contact initiating devices (e.g., pull stations, heat detectors,
etc.). When the NO input contact of an initiating device is
closed, an alarm signal is sent to the loop controller and the
alarm condition is latched at the module.
Description
The SIGA-UM Universal Class A/B Module is an addressable
module that you can configure to provide one of the following:
• Two Class B dry contact initiating device circuits
• One Class A dry contact initiating device circuit
• One Class A or Class B notification appliance circuit
• One Class A or Class B verified two-wire (conventional)
smoke detector circuit without dry contact initiating devices
on the same circuit
• One Class A or Class B unverified two-wire (conventional)
smoke detector circuit with or without dry contact initiating
devices on the same circuit
• One Form C dry contact relay output
The SIGA-UM requires two device addresses on the signaling
line circuit (SLC). Addresses are assigned electronically. There
are no addressing switches.
Diagnostic LEDs provide visible indication of the status of the
module:
• Normal: Green LED flashes
• Alarm/active: Red LED flashes
Personality code 2: Alarm - NO delayed latching (Class B).
Same as code 1 except that contact closure must be
maintained for approximately 16 seconds before an alarm
signal is sent. This code is only for use with nonretarded
waterflow alarm switches.
Personality code 3: Active - NO nonlatching (Class B).
Contact closure causes an active instead of an alarm status
and does not latch at the module. Code 3 is typically used for
monitoring fans, dampers, and doors.
Personality code 4: Active - NO latching (Class B). Contact
closure causes an active instead of an alarm status, which is
latched at the module. Code 4 is typically used for monitoring
supervisory and tamper switches.
Personality code 8: Signal - dry contact output. Configures
the module as a Form C dry relay contact to control external
appliances (door closers, fans, dampers) or equipment
shutdown. Note: Jumper JP1 must be moved to pins 2 and 3
for dry contact operation.
Personality code 9: Alarm - NO latching (Class A). Configures
the module for connection of Class A, normally open dry
contact initiating devices (e.g., pull stations, heat detectors,
etc.). When the NO input contact of an initiating device is
closed, an alarm signal is sent to the loop controller and the
alarm condition is latched at the module.
Personality Code 10: Alarm - NO delayed latching (Class A).
Same as code 9 except that contact closure must be
maintained for approximately 16 seconds before an alarm
signal is sent. Code 10 is typically used with waterflow alarm
switches.
Personality code 11: Active - NO nonlatching (Class A).
Same as code 9 except that contact closure causes an active
instead of an alarm status, and does not latch at the module.
Personality code 11 is typically used for monitoring fans,
dampers, and doors.

Personality code 12: Active - NO latching (Class A). Same as
code 9 except that contact closure causes an active instead of
an alarm status, which is latched at the module. Code 12 is
typically used for monitoring supervisory and tamper switches.
Personality code 13: Alarm - two-wire smoke unverified
(Class B). Configures the module for monitoring two-wire
conventional smoke detectors (that do not require alarm
verification) and normally open contact initiating devices (e.g.,
pull stations, heat detectors, etc.) on the same circuit.
Personality code 14: Alarm - two-wire smoke verified
(Class B). Configures the module for monitoring two-wire
conventional smoke detectors (that require alarm verification).
Normally open contact initiating devices may not be mixed with
two-wire conventional smoke detectors.
Personality code 15: Signal - supervised output (Class A).
Configures the module for connection of a Class A output
notification appliance circuit (NAC). Code 15 is typically used
to control bells, speakers, etc.
Personality code 16: Signal - supervised output (Class B).
Configures the module for connection of a Class B output
notification appliance circuit (NAC). Code 16 is typically used
to control bells, speakers, etc.
Personality code 18: Alarm - soft short latching, European
Style C (Class B). A contact closure causes an alarm status
and a short condition causes a trouble status. Personality code
18 is typically used when a short condition must be
distinguished from an alarm condition.
Personality code 20: Alarm - two-wire smoke unverified
(Class A). Same as personality code 13, except that wiring is
Class A.
Personality code 21: Alarm - two-wire smoke verified
(Class A). Same as personality code 14, except that wiring is
Class A.
For personality codes 13, 14, 20 and 21
First SIGA-UM on a loop to go into alarm will maintain the 2
wire detector circuit voltage and current so that the 2 wire
detector can maintain its LED. Second SIGA-UM on the same
loop to get an alarm from a 2 wire detector will indicate the
alarm at the control panel but will reduce voltage and current
on its 2 wire circuit causing the detector LED to turn on and off.
Installation
Install this device in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
WARNINGS
• Connecting a device that exceeds this module’s pilot duty
contact ratings may cause activation failure. This module
does not support capacitive loads. See “Specifications” on
page 7.
• The personality code for this device is factory set to 0.
This module will not operate until it is assigned a
personality code of 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 18, 20, or 21.
• Electrocution hazard. Dangerous voltages may be present
at the module terminals even when power is shut off.

Notes
• The module is shipped from the factory as an assembled
unit; it contains no user-serviceable parts and should not
be disassembled.
• This module does not operate without electrical power. As
fires frequently cause power interruption, discuss further
safeguards with the local fire protection specialist.
• This module does not support conventional four-wire
smoke detectors.
To install the module:
1. Write the address assigned to the module on the label
provided and apply the label to the module. Remove the
serial number label from the module and attach it to the
project documentation.
2. Wire in accordance with “Wiring” below.
3. Using the self-tapping screw provided, attach the wall
plate to the module. See Figure 1.
4. Using the four machine screws provided, attach the wall
plate and module to the electrical box.

Protection from transient spikes
For installations in which the output circuit connects to
electromechanical bells or horns, install a bipolar transient
protector (P/N 235196P) to protect the module from transient
spikes caused by switching inductive loads. Locate bells and
horns at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) from the module.
• Only personality codes 13, 14, 20, and 21 support twowire smoke detectors.
• Test resistors are supplied with the SIGA-UM to prevent
trouble signals on unused circuits during installation.
When connecting field wires, remove the test resistors and
install a UL/ULC Listed 47 kΩ EOLR at the end of the
circuit.

Riser wiring notes
• For maximum line impedance, refer to the installation
manual for the fire alarm panel. Maximum circuit
capacitance is 0.1 µF.
• If the riser is used for more than one notification zone,
install in accordance with the survivability from attack by
fire requirements in NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code.
Two-wire smoke detector notes
• A maximum of 15 SIGA-UM modules per circuit can be
configured to support two-wire smoke detectors
(personality codes 13, 14, 20, and 21). However, if a
Signature Series IM module or Signature Series detector
with an isolator base is installed on the SLC, only 7
SIGA-UM modules may be configured to support two-wire
smoke detectors.
• Use compatible smoke detectors. See the control panel
compatibility list for type and quantity.
