necessary protection devices such as fuses or breakers should be used to limit the risk of fire. All local codes and regulations for installation must be observed.

4.3 Universal Inputs

Figure 17 Universal Inputs
The controller has 8 universal inputs. Depending on the application, the universal inputs can be used the following ways:
Analog Inputs (section 4.3.2 on page 24) 0-10 VDC
0-5 VDC
23 (45)
Input for a resistive 1000 temperature sensor (section 4.3.3 on page 29)
Measuring 24 VDC (section 4.3.4 on page 29)
Digital (binary) inputs (section 4.3.5 on page 29) for dry contacts being fed by
Pulse counters (section 4.3.5 on page 29) active PNP 12 VDC

4.3.1 Tips for Universal Inputs

Use 18 AWG stranded wire.
The absolute maximum voltage is 15 VDC.
Fit the end of the wire with terminal connectors to provide a solid connection that can
withstand temperature changes and vibration without becoming loose.
Connect the common wires of sensors to either of the 0V terminals.
Turn the corresponding DIP switch on ONLY when using resistive 1000 temperature
sensors. See section 3.5 on page 17.

12 VDC
for dry contacts being fed by 12 VDC
When using 2 or more external power supplies, connect the negatives or commons of
both power supplies to the 0V terminal of the controller.
To ensure that the universal inputs operate correctly, follow these guidelines:
Limit the distance between the analog sensor and the controller to 10 m (30 ft). Mircom
recommends shielded wire for noisy environments.
If this distance is not possible, longer wire runs with shielded wire are allowed up to 30 m
(100 ft). Connect the shield to any 0V terminal on the controller, making sure to isolate the shield on the other end. Failing to do so creates ground loops.
When possible, route the wiring inside metal piping and ground the piping for better
results.
Avoid running any analog signals near sources of electric noise such as: motors,
ballasts, fluorescent lamps, variable frequency drives, high energy contacts, RF (radio frequency) transmitters, microwave ovens, and any other equipment that generates electromagnetic interference.
Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm (1 ft) between analog input wiring and any conductor
carrying more than 24 VAC.
Follow good wiring and installation practices, and follow all local regulations and
electrical codes.

4.3.2 Analog Inputs

24 (45)
Connect any sensor or transducer that outputs 0-5 V, 0.5-4.5 V ratiometric, or 0-10 V directly to the universal inputs when they are configured as analog inputs.

4.3.4 Measuring 24 VDC with Analog Inputs

N/A
Field Wiring
If you want to measure 24 VDC voltages, add a 15 k ½ Watt 1% resistor in series with the higher voltage to be measured. See Figure 18.
Figure 18 Measuring VDC
Caution: You can measure up to 30 VDC. A higher voltage will damage the
controller.
Only DC voltages can be input to the universal inputs. Applying AC voltages or inverting the polarity will provide incorrect readings, and can eventually damage the inputs.

4.3.5 Digital Inputs

The 8 universal inputs can receive digital signals. These are signals that represent only two states.
The digital inputs have the following ranges:
ZERO (0) is valid for an input voltage between 0 to 4 VDC
ONE (1) is valid for an input voltage between 8 to12 VDC

Figure 19 Digital input voltage range
The digital inputs can be used as frequency or pulse counters with these specifications:
Digital inputs 1-2 can measure square wave or pulsed signals
. The maximum
measurable frequency is 250 Hz (15,000 pulses per minute). The minimum pulse width detectable is 2 milliseconds.
Digital inputs 3-8 can measure frequencies up to 10 Hz (600 pulses per minute). The
minimum pulse width detectable is 50 milliseconds.
Dry contact, push buttons, magnetic reed switches or PNP transistors must supply voltage to the digital input for correct operation.
To use the universal inputs as digital inputs
1. Connect the appropriate digital signal to the universal input according to the diagrams in Ta bl e 6 .
2. Configure the digital input type using the OpenBAS software.
Table 6 shows how to connect different devices to the digital inputs.

4.4 Analog Outputs

The two analog outputs have short-circuit and thermal protection. They provide 10 mA with a maximum voltage of 10 VDC to control the speed of a motor, the position of a valve or damper, or light intensity using electronic ballasts with 0-10 V inputs.
Caution: Applying any external voltage less than 0 V or greater than 10 V will
damage the analog outputs.
0V
24 VDC power supply to feed the dry contact switches
To ensure that analog outputs operate correctly, follow these guidelines:
Use 18 AWG stranded wire.
Limit the distance between the field device and the controller to 10 m (30 ft). Mircom
recommends shielded wire for noisy environments.

If this distance is not possible, longer wire runs with shielded wire are allowed up to 30 m
(100 ft). Connect the shield to any 0V terminal on the controller, making sure to isolate the shield on the other end. Failing to do so creates ground loops.
When possible, route the wiring inside metal piping and ground the piping for better
results.
Avoid running any analog signals near sources of electric noise such as: motors,
ballasts, fluorescent lamps, variable frequency drives, high energy contacts, RF (radio frequency) transmitters, microwave ovens, and any other equipment that generates electromagnetic interference.
Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm (1 ft) between analog output wiring and any
conductor carrying more than 24 VAC.
Follow good wiring and installation practices, and follow all local regulations and
electrical codes.
Use either of the terminals labeled 0V to connect the return signal or common.

1. Nature of Warnings. The within warnings are communicated to the reader out of an abundance of caution and create no legal obligation for Mircom Group of Companies, whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this document shall NOT be construed as in any way altering the rights and obligations of the parties, governed by the legal documents that apply in any given circumstance.
2. Application. The warnings contained in this document apply to all Mircom System and shall be read in conjunction with:
a. the product manual for the specific Mircom System that applies in given circumstances;
b. legal documents that apply to the purchase and sale of a Mircom System, which may
include the company’s standard terms and conditions and warranty statements;
c. other information about the Mircom System or the parties’ rights and obligations as may
be application to a given circumstance.
3. Security and Insurance. Regardless of its capabilities, no Mircom System is a substitute for property or life insurance. Nor is the system a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation. Building automation systems produced by the Mircom Group of Companies are not to be used as a fire, alarm, or life-safety system.
NOTE TO INSTALLERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However, there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system failure include the following. As the only individual in contact with system users, please bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this Mircom System. Failure to properly inform system end-users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may result in over-reliance upon the system. As a result, it is imperative that you properly inform each customer for whom you install the system of the possible forms of failure:
4. Inadequate Installation. All Mircom Systems must be installed in accordance with all the applicable codes and standards in order to provide adequate protection. National standards require an inspection and approval to be conducted by the local authority having jurisdiction following the initial installation of the system and following any changes to the system. Such inspections ensure installation has been carried out properly.
42 (45)
5. Inadequate Testing. Most problems that would prevent an alarm a Mircom System from operating as intended can be discovered by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested by the local authority having jurisdiction immediately after a fire, storm, earthquake, accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
NOTE TO USERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However, there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system failure include the following. The end user can minimize the occurrence of any of the following by proper training, testing and maintenance of the Mircom Systems:
6. Inadequate Testing and Maintenance. It is imperative that the systems be periodically tested and subjected to preventative maintenance. Best practices and local authority having jurisdiction determine the frequency and type of testing that is required at a minimum. Mircom System may not function properly, and the occurrence of other system failures identified below may not be minimized, if the periodic testing and maintenance of Mircom Systems is not completed with diligence and as required.
7. Improper Operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm. A Mircom System may not function as intended during an emergency situation where the user is unable to operate a panic or emergency switch by reason of permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, unfamiliarity with the correct operation, or related circumstances.
Warranty and Warning Information
8. Insufficient Time. There may be circumstances when a Mircom System will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time enough to protect the occupants or their belongings.
9. Carelessness or Safety Hazards. Moreover, smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits or children playing with matches or arson.
10. Power Failure. Some Mircom System components require adequate electrical power supply to operate. Examples include: smoke detectors, beacons, HVAC, and lighting controllers. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage Mircom Systems or other electronic equipment. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
11. Battery Failure. If the Mircom System or any device connected to the system operates from batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be fully charged, in good condition, and installed correctly. Some Mircom Systems use replaceable batteries, which have a limited life-span. The expected battery life is variable and in part dependent on the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. Moreover, some Mircom Systems do not have a battery monitor that would alert the user in the event that the battery is nearing its end of life. Regular testing and replacements are vital for ensuring that the batteries function as expected, whether or not a device has a low-battery monitor.
12. Physical Obstructions. Motion sensors that are part of a Mircom System must be kept clear of any obstacles which impede the sensors’ ability to detect movement. Signals being communicated by a Mircom System may not reach the receiver if an item (such as metal, water, or concrete) is placed on or near the radio path. Deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference can also negatively affect system operation.
43 (45)
Warranty and Warning Information
13. Wireless Devices Placement Proximity. Moreover all wireless devices must be a minimum and maximum distance away from large metal objects, such as refrigerators. You are required to consult the specific Mircom System manual and application guide for any maximum distances required between devices and suggested placement of wireless devices for optimal functioning.
14. Failure to Trigger Sensors. Moreover, Mircom Systems may fail to operate as intended if motion, heat, or smoke sensors are not triggered.
a. Sensors in a fire system may fail to be triggered when the fire is in a chimney, walls, roof,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke or heat from fires on another level of the residence or building. In this situation the control panel may not alert occupants of a fire.
b. Sensors in a nurse call system may fail to be triggered when movement is occurring
outside of the motion sensors’ range. For example, if movement is occurring on the other side of closed doors or on another level of the residence or building the motion detector may not be triggered. In this situation the central controller may not register an alarm signal.
15. Interference with Audible Notification Appliances. Audible notification appliances may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, appliances, or passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
16. Other Impairments. Alarm notification appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn or waken a sleeping occupant if there is an intervening wall or door. It is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened when notification appliances are located on a different level of the residence or premise.
17. Software Malfunction. Most Mircom Systems contain software. No warranties are provided as to the software components of any products or stand-alone software products within a Mircom System. For a full statement of the warranties and exclusions and limitations of liability please refer to the company’s standard Terms and Conditions and Warranties.
18. Telephone Lines Malfunction. Telephone service can cause system failure where telephone lines are relied upon by a Mircom System. Alarms and information coming from a Mircom System may not be transmitted if a phone line is out of service or busy for a certain period of time. Alarms and information may not be transmitted where telephone lines have been compromised by criminal tampering, local construction, storms or earthquakes.
19. Component Failure. Although every effort has been made to make this Mircom System as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
20. Integrated Products. Mircom System might not function as intended if it is connected to a non-Mircom product or to a Mircom product that is deemed non-compatible with a particular Mircom System. A list of compatible products can be requested and obtained.
