Excluding current drawn by SNDR
EOL’S and IS BARRIER Device loads.
SNDR CCT1 Current powered
with 24V
Does not include current possibly
drawn by SNDR EOL1 (e.g. add 24 mA
if using a 1k EOL resistor)
SNDR CCT2 Current powered
with 24V
Does not include current possibly
drawn by SNDR EOL2 (e.g. add 24 mA
if using a 1k EOL resistor)
I.S. BARRIER 1 Load current
Actual value dependant on IS sounder
used.
I.S. BARRIER 2 Load current
Actual value dependant on IS sounder
used.
Maximum Cable Resistance on
I.S. barrier terminals
This is the combined total Wiring
resistance between the IS Barrier
Terminals and the IS device.

MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Products covered: CHQ-ISM, CHQ-ISM/DIN and CHQ-ISM(HFP)
Function
The CHQ-ISM is a Sounder Control module which interfaces between the Hochiki Analogue system via a
CHQ-DSC or conventional sounder O/P’s and the intrinsically safe sounder/beacon units via an intrinsically
Safe barrier. The module provides line monitoring for Open or short circuits on the wiring connected to both
the Safe and Hazardous areas. The unit is externally powered with 24V and provides a Fault monitoring I/P
which can be used to indicate something like a mains failure back to the CIE on SNDR CCT1.
NOTE: This sounder interface module should always be used with an I.S. Barrier. The CHQ-ISM is not itself
intrinsically safe.

The CHQ-ISM should be connected as shown in Fig 1 or Fig 2 below, the I.S. device can be either a sounder
or beacon. See Table 3 which shows which I.S. devices have been tested for compatibility with the different
barrier types. Table 3 also shows whether an EOL device is required for compatibility; if required this should
always be placed at the furthest end of the cable, preferably in the terminals of the I.S. device.
NOTE: The CHQ-ISM should always be installed in the safe area along with the barrier.
