Note:AIM-200 features discussed in this document are available with AIM-200 software
part number 73264 or greater.
The Addressable Intelligent Module (AIM-200) functions as an interface between the System 5000 Fire Alarm Control Panel and intelligent/addressable devices. To the System
5000, the AIM-200 looks like an IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module. On its single communications
loop, the AIM-200 will communicate with up to 99 addressable modules and 99 intelligent
detectors. The AIM-200 will communicate with the following:
DHX-501/DHX-502Intelligent Duct Detector Housing (for use with SDX-551 only)
The 198 devices are mapped into eight software zones b y the AIM-200. The status of these
zones is reported to the CPU-5000. The AIM-200 includes a digital display for identifying
the exact device address within a zone . The display is also used to displa y de vice types and
analog detector sensitivity values.
Although the AIM-200 is intended primarily as an initiating input module, it can support
CMX-2 Control Modules on the loop. The CMX-2 modules may be mapped to AIM-200
zones much like outputs are mapped to inputs during standard System 5000 programming.
The AIM-200 may be mixed in a system with any of these system modules:
IZM-8Initiating Zone Module
IZE-AInitiating Zone Expander
ICM-4Indicating Circuit Module
ICE-4Initiating Circuit Expander
CRM-4Control Relay Module
CRE-4Control Relay Expander
VCM-4Voice Control Module
VCE-4Voice Control Expander
DCM-4Dual Channel Module
TCM-2Time Control Module (Single hazard release)
TCM-4Time Control Module (Multiple hazard release)
In addition, ACM remote annunciators, AMG-1 and FFT-7 voice/telephone modules, and
several power supplies can be employed with an AIM-200.
Up to ten AIM-200s may be installed in one System 5000 for a capacity of 1,980 points
(subject to limitations of system power supply, refer to Appendix B).
The AIM-200 communicates with up to 99
intelligent detectors and up to 99 addressable modules. The AIM-200 reports device alarm or trouble activity back to the
CPU as one of eight mapped zones.
This modu l e mod ito rs 8 zone s of fire deted tion de vices. Ea ch
zone may consist of many individual detectors or other devices.
The address of the device in alarm or trouble (fault) is indicated by
the 2-digit display. If multiple addresses are displayed, press th e
STEP switches to control the display. Additional information about
each device is provided behind this card. This module can
measure the condition and status of its detectors (intelligent).
Information and controls are provided behind all cards (authorized
individuals only).

Card File
A special card file is attached to the bottom front of the AIM-200. Several
standard 4 in. by 2-1/4 in. cards are provided and may be marked with device
information by the installer . A reference card, which defines all display codes,
is included.
These intelligent, addressable detectors provide analog information to
the AIM-200. The AIM-200 processes this analog information and continually makes decisions on the alarm, maintenance, or normal status of
each device. Each detector head mounts to a BX-501 base for ease of
BX-501 Base
installation or replacement. The sensitivity of each detector can be set by
the programmer at the AIM-200 for one of three le vels (low , medium, and
high). Each detector responds to an address that is set in the head via
built-in rotary decimal switches.

This section outlines the installation procedure for the AIM-200. For information on installing other System 5000 equipment and power limited wiring, refer to the Installation Manual,
Document 15583.
3.1 Installing the AIM-200
Complete the following steps to install the AIM-200 onto the CHS-4 Chassis.
1) Mount the AIM-200 to a CHS-4 Chassis.
2) Insert the tab on the bottom of the AIM-200 into the slot on the bottom of the CHS-4.
3) Fasten the AIM-200 to the top of the CHS-4 using the two captive screws in the top
corners of the module. Refer to Figure 3-1.
4) Connect the ribbon cable. See Figure 3-2.
Note:If point annunciation (192 intelligent AIM-200 points and 56 standard system circuits)
of a single AIM-200 is desired, the AIM-200 must be mounted in the second slot of the
first chassis (directly to the right of the CPU). This annunciation option must also be
selected in system programming.
Connecting the Alarm Bus Cable
Connect the alarm bus cable following the steps below. Use the alarm bus cable (Part No.
71033) included with the AIM-200.
1) Remove the 2-pin connector on one end of the cable.
2) Separate and strip the wires, leaving about half an inch of bare wire exposed.
3) Connect wires to Terminals 14 and 15 on the CPU.
4) Connect the other end of the trouble cable to the left-most 2-pin terminal on the
bottom left-hand corner of the AIM-200. If additional AIM-200s are employed, see
Figure 3-3.
The AIM-200 communicates with intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor and control
devices through a communications loop. The System 5000 can support up to ten communications loops, each controlled by an AIM-200 module. The communications loops can be
wired as non-redundant (Figure 3-6), redundant (Figure 3-7), or isolated redundant (Figure
3-8).
Isolator Modules
Isolator modules (ISO-X) permit a zone of detectors and modules to be electrically isolated
from the remainder of the communications loop, allowing critical loop components to function in the event of a circuit fault (see Figures 3-8 and 3-12).
Monitor Modules
Addressable monitor modules (MMX-1, MMX-2, and MMX-101) allow the AIM-200 to monitor entire circuits of conventional normally open contacts, alarm initiating devices, manual
pull stations, 4-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors, and waterflow and supervisory devices (Figures 3-13A and 3-14A). A type of monitor module, the addressable BGX-101L,
provides point annunciation of manual pull stations (Figure 3-18).
Control Modules
Through addressable control modules (CMX-2), the System 5000 can selectively activate
notification appliance circuits or Form-C output relays (see Figures 3-15 through 3-17).
Intelligent Detectors
Through the communications loop, the AIM-200 communicates with intelligent ionization,
photoelectric, and thermal detectors (Figure 3-19).
Loop Capacity
The capacity of each AIM-200 includes up to 99 intelligent detectors and an additional
combination of up to 99 addressable pull stations, control modules, and monitor modules.
One to ten AIM-200s can be employed, depending on system requirements.
Notes:
1) Communications loop is supervised and power limited.
2) Maximum loop length is 10,000 feet (total twisted pair length).
3) Maximum loop voltage: 27.6 VDC.
4) Maximum loop current: 200 mA (short circuit) 100 mA (normal operation)
5) Maximum loop resistance: 40 ohms.
6) Refer to the proper installation drawing supplied with each communications loop appliance.
Add the lengths of all the branches on one
loop. This sum cannot exceed 10,000 feet
per loop.

Branch Resistance
Short the ter mination point of one branch at a time and measure DC resistance from the
beginning of the loop to the end of that particular branch. The total DC resistance from
panel to branch end cannot exceed 40 ohms. Repeat this procedure for all remaining
branches.
Total length of the communications loop pair cannot exceed 10,000 feet (measured from the
control panel out, and back to the control panel).
The DC resistance of the communications loop pair cannot exceed 40 ohms. This measurement may be obtained by disconnecting loop out and return at the control panel, shorting
the two leads of communications loop return together and metering loop out.
By flanking each communications loop device with a pair of ISO-X fault isolator modules,
each device is protected from short circuit faults that may occur on other devices. For
example, a f ault on Zone 2 will not effect Zones 1 and 3. The isolator modules on either side
of Zone 2 will open the loop. Zone 1 will still oper ate from pow er on loop out and Zone 3 will
operate from loop return. Since the system will no longer be able to communicate with Zone
2, a trouble signal(s) will be generated for that device.
This circuit is a variation of the redundant circuit, therefore, no T-tapping or branching is
allowed. The ratings and characteristics are the same as for the redundant circuit.
Do not allow the shield drain wire to enter the control panel cabinet. Connect the dr ain wire
to the outside of the cabinet via a BX-type connector.

The loop isolator module (ISO-X) is used to protect critical elements of the communications
loop from faults on other branches or sections of the loop . The ISO-X contin uously monitors
the circuit connected to Terminals 3 (-) and 4 (+). Upon power up , an integral rela y is latched
on. The ISO-X periodically pulses the coil of this
relay. A short circuit on the loop resets the relay.
The ISO-X sees this short and disconnects the
faulted branch by opening the positive side of the
loop (T erminal 4). This eff ectively isolates the f aulted
branch from the remainder of the loop. Once the
fault is removed, the ISO-X automatically reapplies
power to the communications loop branch. Figure
3-12 illustrates the use of an ISO-X on a
non-redundant communications loop. For employing ISO-Xs on a redundant or isolated-redundant
communications loop, see Figure 3-8.
Note:During a fault condition, the System 5000
will register a trouble condition for each zone mapped to the isolated loop branch.
Shorts on this branch of an isolated non-redundant communications loop will be isolated
from all devices installed both upstream of the ISO-X and on the continuation of the loop
(shown as dotted line).
The MMX-1 monitor module is an addressable module that monitors normally open contacts, shorting type alarm initiating devices. The supervised MMX-1 circuit can be wired as

Rolodex Cards for AIM-200
aimcard2
aimcard2
Figure 3-20: Organizing AIM-200 Car ds for Placement
Organize the cards in sequence, with number “1” on top and number “6” on the bottom.
Carefully press-fit the cards over the holding clips on the module and close the front door.
This module moditors 8 zones of fire detetion devices. Each
zone may consist of many individual detectors or other devices.
The address of the device in alarm or trouble (fault) is indicated by
the 2-digit display. If multiple addresses are displayed, press the
STEP switches to control the display. Additional information about
each device is provided behind this card. This module can
measure the condition and status of its detectors (intelligent).
Information and controls are provided behind all cards (authorized
individuals only).
Programming the AIM-200 involves two modes of operation: Auto-Program, (password
231-1332) and Program Edit (password 231-3112). A third function, Display Status, allows
the programmer to review the entire AIM-200 prog ram. Program Clear (passw ord 231-5678),
allows the clearing of an existing program from non-volatile memory.

E = No response from a device (the
AIM-200 is programmed for a device
which is in trouble or not physically
installed on the loop).
A zone that the device has been mapped to is indicated
by the red zone alarm LED . Devices ma y be mapped to
any one or all of the eight AIM-200 zones. The AIM-200
will require that each MMX Monitor Module or intelligent detector be mapped to at least one zone (one zone
must be selected at any point in time). CMX-2 Control
Modules may or may not be mapped to a zone, depending on the particular application (see the
ing CMX-2 Control Modules
section of this document).
Operat-
Selecting Mapped Zones
Mapped zones may be selected or deselected by pressing the switch on each respective zone (switch toggles selection of the zone).
Detector Sensitivity
To change the sensitivity of an intelligent detector, press the STEP-FORWARD or
STEP-REVERSE switch. The right-hand display digit will read “L” for low, “H” for high, and
blank for normal sensitivity. Either of these switches can also be used to disable the detector (right-hand digit displays “d”).

Control Module (NAC)
To program a CMX-2 control module to function as a notification appliance circuit, press the
STEP-FORWARD switch until the right-hand display digit is blank.
Note:The function tabs on the CMX-2 must not be broken for this type of operation.
Control Module (Form-C)
To program a CMX-2 control module as a Form-C relay , press the STEP-FOR WARD switch
until the right-hand display digit reads “0.” The STEP-REVERSE switch can be used to
disable the control module (right-hand digit displays a “d”).
Accepting or Rejecting Devices
The ENTER and SKIP LEDs will flash while the AIM-200 is in Auto-Program or Program Edit
mode.
Auto-Program
To accept a new device, press the ENTER switch. To reject a device, press the SKIP s witch.
In either case, the AIM-200 will advance to the next address.
Program Edit
To store newly edited information on the device displayed, press the ENTER switch. To
leave de vice unchanged, press the SKIP switch. In either case, the AIM-200 will advance to
the next address.
Note:Holding in the SKIP switch will cause the AIM-200 to advance through successive
addresses quickly (10 per second).
Style 6 Loop Operation
This LED indicates that the AIM-200 has been programmed for redundant communications
loop operation. Select or deselect for the entire loop by pressing the control switch.
Note 1: To function as a redundant communications loop, the AIM-200 loop must be wired in
accordance with Figure 3-7.
Note 2: An isolated-redundant circuit is a variation of a redundant circuit (see Figure 3-8). If
wired as an isolated-redundant communications loop, the AIM-200 should be programmed for redundant circuit operation.
Auto-Program is used when a system is first installed, or when de vice additions or deletions
are necessary. It determines the number , address and type of devices to be progr ammed by
polling the addressable loop. The AIM-200 determines which devices have been physically
installed on the loop and compares this information against the program stored in memory.
If a particular device responds differently , the AIM-200 displa ys the new address and type . If
accepted by the programmer, the information is stored in the non-volatile memory. Certain
other parameters are pre-selected by the AIM-200, such as zone assignment and detector
sensitivity, with the installer given an opportunity to change those parameters as desired.
Entering Auto-Program Mode
Once in Auto-Program mode, the AIM-200 turns off all LEDs, places a flashing “AP” on the
digital display, and begins polling all 198 possible addresses. It stores the address and type
of each device as found. It then compares each new address/type with the old information
stored in its memory. If the old and new address/type match, the AIM-200 proceeds to the
next address, and repeats. This process could take several seconds to complete all devices. Only removal of the PK-1 key can abort the process.
If a mismatch is found between the actual devices installed on the loop and the information
in memory, information about the actual device is displayed. The operator may accept the
new device by pressing ENTER, or reject the device and retain the information that was in
memory by pressing SKIP. Mismatches include an installed de vice that is not in memory, a
non-existing device that is in memory, or a different Type code.
After any mismatches are accepted or rejected, the AIM-200 displays a count of the number
of programmed detectors, alternating with a count of programmed modules. The operator
may exit to: Progr am Edit mode by pressing ENTER; Auto-Progr am mode (repeat) by pressing SKIP; or normal operation by removing the PK-1 key.

At this point, you must execute Auto-Program so that the AIM-200 can determine which
devices are installed on the loop.
At least one device must be installed on the AIM-200 loop. If the programming key is removed after Program Clear and before Auto-Program is executed, the AIM-200 will register
a trouble condition by illuminating the yello w trouble LEDs on Zones 1, 3, 5, and 7. Ref er to
Table 4-1.
Upon initial power up, and after clearing AIM-200 memory (Program Clear), intelligent detectors and addressable modules installed on an AIM-200 loop are automatically mapped to
default zones. Any changes to this map must be made through Program Edit. This default
map is illustrated in Figure 4-1.
When the operator wishes to view the status and program for a device, the Display Status/
Sensitivity function is used. This function is entered directly by inserting the PK-1 Programming Key and pressing the DISPLAY STATUS switch. No password is required.
Note:The AIM-200 will cease monitoring its devices while in this mode and the CPU-5000
will report System Trouble.
Alternately, this mode may be entered without key or pass w ord by pressing and holding the
DISPLA Y STATUS switch in for two seconds. Continue to hold the DISPLAY ST ATUS switch
in with one hand while performing the Step function with the other hand.
Displaying the Status of Intelligent Detectors
When the Display Status mode is entered, the digital display will repeatedly flash the address, type and sensitivity of the detector assigned to the lowest address. The user can
scroll through all detectors using the STEP-FORW ARD and STEP-REVERSE switches. The
SKIP switch advances addresses rapidly.
Detector Device Type/Status
The Device Type/Status field displays two characters for intelligent detectors, outlined below.
Left DigitRight Digit
P =Photo DetectorBlank = Normal sensitivity
I = Ion DetectorL = Low Sensitivity
H = Heat DetectorH = High Sensitivity
A = Alarm
F = Fault (maintenance Alert)
d = Disabled
E = Error--No response from a device (the AIM-200 is
programmed for a device that is in trouble or not
physically installed on the loop).
U = Unsatisfactory (Failed automatic detector test)
Alarm Threshold Per centage
The percent of alarm threshold for detectors is displayed with a decimal point as illustrated
below.
After the AIM-200 has stepped through all detectors, it will begin displaying all modules.
The digital display will repeatedly flash between the address and type/status of the module
assigned to the lowest address. The user can scroll through all modules using the
STEP-FORWARD and STEP-REVERSE switches. The SKIP switch advances through addresses rapidly.
Module Device Type/Status
The Device Type/Status field displays two characters for modules, outlined below.
T able 4-4: Device Type/Status Field Characters

O = Open (Form-C)
C = Closed (Form-C)
E = Error--No response from a device
(the AIM-200 is programmed for a
device that is in trouble or not
physically installed on the loop).
Advancing to an Address Range
By pressing any one of Zone Switches 1 through 8, the operator can advance directly to a
desired range of addresses. The AIM-200 will jump to the lowest address of a programmed
device within that range. The STEP-FORWARD and STEP-REVERSE switches can be
used to move to devices within each range.

Display Status Tips:
1. To view module status directly upon entering Display Status mode, press the switch on
Zone 8 and advance through devices 80-99 (if present). The AIM-200 will begin displaying modules directly after the last detector.
2. The STEP-REVERSE switch can be used to back into a lower address range. For example, to view the status of a device with Address “39,” press the switch for Zone 4, then
press the STEP-REVERSE switch once.
For each of the eight zone displays, a red LED, yellow LED and a switch are provided. The
198-point capacity of the AIM-200 is assigned to these zones using a “mapping” technique.
Each of the 198 devices may be mapped to one or more zones. If an initiating device
mapped to more than one zone is alarmed, all mapped zones will be placed into alarm. This
type of zoning could be used to provide a matrix, where one zone indicates the area and
another the type of device. F or e xample, four zones could be used to indicate floor of alarm,
and three zones could be used to indicate smoke alarm, manual station, and waterflow
alarm. The eighth zone could be used for supervisory devices (the supervisory devices
would not be mapped into a floor zone).

CMX-2 Control Modules are activated by the AIM-200 when the zone that the y are mapped
to enters an alarm condition. If a CMX-2 is mapped to more than one zone, it will be activated when any of the zones are in alarm.
The zone LEDs and switches emulate the functions of an IZM-8 module except when in
Program/Display mode. Pressing the switch in Program/Display mode displays all output
circuits in the system that are mapped to that zone.

code5
The AIM-200 zone assumes the status of any device mapped to that zone that enters an
alarm or trouble condition. If any of the initiating devices are in alarm, the zone is reported
in alarm. If one or more devices (including CMX-2 modules) are in trouble, and no alarms
exist, trouble is reported for the zone.
One trouble condition, called “Maintenance Alert,” will be reported for analog detectors that
give readings in the 0-19% or 80-99% range. This trouble condition will result only if the
detector remains at this value continuously for 24 hours (smoldering fires could linger here
before passing 100%). After the detector remains at this level for about 24 hours, trouble is
reported for that detector.
Digital Display - The digital display provides two numeric digits. It displays the device
numeric address (01-99). To the right of the digital display are two green LED’s: “Detector”
and “Module.” When there are no devices in alarm or trouble, and the system is not in a
programming mode, the digital display is blank.
DETECTOR
ADDRESS

code3
Alarm Condition - When an alarm condition occurs, the address of the alarmed device will
appear in the 2-digit, 7-segment display. If multiple alarms occur, the display will automatically advance through all alarms. The STEP s witches may be used to manually adv ance the
display one alarm at a time. If it is necessary to display trouble addresses when an alarm
exists, the program key must be inserted and the Display Status functions followed. If an
alarm(s) has been silenced, and an initiating device mapped to the same software zone
goes into alarm, the AIM-200 will resound the alarm signals and flash appropriate LEDs.
Trouble Condition
-
During a trouble condition (with no alarm present) the digital display
will show the address of the trouble. The detector and module LEDs will be used to indicate
the category of device in trouble.
Note:If a Style 6 loop fault exists , the display indicates “LF” (Loop Fault). If communication
is lost with the CPU-5000, “SF” (System Failure) is displayed.
If multiple trouble conditions exist, the digital displa y steps through all troub les automatically
at a rate of one trouble per second. The STEP switches may be used to manually control
the digital display. Once a STEP switch is pressed, the display advance is under control of
these switches. If a troub le(s) has been silenced and a device mapped to the same software
zone goes into trouble, the AIM-200 will resound the trouble signal and flash appropriate
LEDs.
Step Switches - Two switches, STEP FORWARD and STEP REVERSE, are provided for
advancing the display. If multiple alarms or troubles exist in the AIM-200, and the display is
automatically advancing through them, pressing either of these two switches will stop the
automatic advance and allow the operator to control the advancement through the display.
If these two switches are not pressed again during a period of about one minute, the display
will automatically resume stepping through existing events.
Each time a STEP switch is pressed, the digital display advances to the next higher/lower
address that is also in alarm or trouble. After all addresses in alarm or trouble have been
displayed, it returns to the first address and continues.

in the loop wiring. When set f or Style 6, the AIM-200 latches a wire f ailure and then must be
manually reset to re-test and clear the fault. When the loop fault is latched on, the AIM-200
turns on the yellow LOOP F A ULT LED and reports trouble for all zones that are not in alarm.
If there is no alarm, “LF” is placed on the digital display. The RESET switch or the System
RESET clears the latch. If a loop f ault still exists, the trouble will then resound and re-latch.
T-tap wiring is not allowed in the Style 6 configuration. Field wiring must be returned to the
AIM-200 terminal block as illustrated in Figure 3-7.

Programming the
Automatic Detector Test
The AIM-200 automatically test all detectors on its SLC loop. This test is similar to activ ating
a detector with a test magnet.
The module periodically commands each detector, one at a time, to respond with an appropriate alarm-like signal (pulse on the SLC loop). If the proper response is not returned, the
AIM-200 will register a trouble condition for that detector . The troub le LED of the zone which
that detector is mapped to will illuminate and the piezo will sound.
To determine which detector has failed the test, use the Displa y Status function. The status
of the faulty detector will be indicated by a “U” (Unsatisfactory test) in the right digit of the
display
The RESET switch on the CPU must be pushed to clear the trouble status from the device.
Unless the detector has been repaired or replaced, the AIM-200 will again register a trouble
condition with the next device test. Each detector will be tested at least every 24 hours.
Optional CMX-2 control modules can be installed on the AIM-200 addressable loop. When
using one or more CMX-2s, four types of control options are available: General Alarm,
Control-by-Zone, Control-by-Module, and Control-by-Detector. The CMX-2 zone mapping
and address assignments required for each control option are described below.
General Alarm - To set up General Alarm, set CMX-2 module address in the range of
01-59 and ensure that it has not been mapped to any zones. If an alarm occurs on the alarm
bus (see Figure 3-3 for wiring information), the CMX-2 will be activated. This type of control
can also be executed using the manual s witch on the CPU board alarm relay (manual e vacuation).

Control-by-Zone - Control-by-Zone is suited for control-by-floor and floor above/floor below applications. No special treatment is required to ex ecute Control-by-Zone. If the AIM-200
detects an alarm from an intelligent detector or addressable monitor module, it activates
which ever zone(s) are mapped to this de vice . All CMX-2 modules assigned to the alarmed
zone(s) will be activated.

Control-by-Module - Control-by-Module is a useful function for Air Handling Units (AHUs)
controlled by 4-wire duct detectors. To set up Control-by-Module, set the monitor module
address in the range 60-69. Ensure that a CMX-2 module e xists in the address range 70-79
with the same least significant address digit as the MMX-1, MMX-101, MMX-2(s) and that
the CMX-2 module has not been mapped to any zones.

Control-by-Detector is a useful function for activating sounders in
the same room or location as the alarmed intelligent detector. To set up Control-by-Detector,
set detector address in the range 80-99. Ensure that a CMX-2 module e xists with the same
address as the detector, and that the CMX-2 has not been mapped to any zones.

CMX-2 modules programmed for General Alarm,

occurs on one of these devices, it is reported as trouble on Zone 1.
Non-Silenceable Notification Appliance Circuit
-
An CMX-2 configured as a Notification
Appliance Circuit (tabs intact) can be programmed in AIM-200 memory as a Form-C module. The module will still function as a supervised notification appliance circuit, but will be
non-silenceable. This feature is suitable in applications that require strobe lights to continue
flashing after the signals have been silenced during an alarm.
-
Non-Silenceable Form-C Relays
A CMX-2 configured as a Form-C Relay (type CO)
cannot be silenced by the SIGNAL SILENCE switch on the CPU. These modules, regardless of their mapping assignments, can only be silenced by the RESET switch on the CPU.
Supervisory Zones
-
This supervisory monitor ing function (tamper valves, etc.) is trans-
parent to the AIM-200. This programming selection is performed at the CPU.
Alarm Verification - The AIM-200 performs alarm verification if this feature is programmed
at the CPU. Verification delays are performed for alarms from detectors only.
Waterflow Zones - This System 5000 function (non-silenceable alarm) is transparent to
the AIM-200. If used, the installer should assign only flow switches to the zone.
Walk T est - The AIM module will perform a single-person test of all devices as follows:
1)Disable all eight AIM-200 zones using the DISABLE/ENABLE control on the CPU.
2) Disable all CMX-2 modules on the AIM-200 by entering Program Edit mode and
selecting the Cd code for each module. Remove the programming key.
3)Reset the system. (The remainder of the system, including other AIM-200s, continues to provide fire protection.)
4)Activate (alarm) each initiating device on the AIM-200.
5)Return to the panel and verify that the AIM-200 2 digit display is stepping through all
devices that were alarmed.
6)Reset the system and enable all eight AIM-200 zones.
7)Enable all CMX-2 modules on the AIM-200. Be sure to select the proper type.
Alarm Bus - The alarm bus is implemented with a two wire daisy chain that connects to
each AIM-200. It is used to provide a manual evacuation control of CMX-2 modules and to
manually silence these modules; f or general alarm control functions, and to provide a backup
connection between multiple AIM-200s so that the panel may still function in general alarm
even if the CPU fails.
General Alarm Service - CMX-2 modules will be activated under a general alarm condition provided that the module address is set to “59” or belo w and the module is not mapped
to any zone. In addition, the alarm bus cable must be connected between the CPU and the
AIM-200 (see Figure 3-3). This connection puts the normally open contacts of the CPU
Alarm Relay across the pin connector on the AIM-200. When an alarm occurs, the alarm
relay changes state, closing the connection to the AIM-200 and signaling a general alarm
condition.
Note:The CPU alarm relay is dedicated to this function and should not be connected to
other circuits.
To ensure that general alar m functions proper ly, adhere to the following:
1.The CPU default program automatically maps the Form-C alarm relay to all initiating
zones in the system. While this is a default map, the AIM- programmer should ensure
that this relay is indeed mapped to all initiating circuits, including the eight zones on
each AIM. This guarantees that any alarm in the system will activate the alarm relay,
which will in turn signal a general alarm throughout all AIMs on the alar m bus connection.
2.The alarm relay m ust be prog r ammed as a non-coded point. If it is not, the alarm relay
contacts will pulse general alarm bus connection, causing the AIM-200(s) to oscillate in
and out of alarm.
3.The CPU alar m relay must be programmed as silenceable, permitting the silencing of
general alarm modules with software type
provides backup general alarm capability in the event of communications failure with the
CPU. Under this condition, the following events will take place.
When an alarm occurs on an AIM-200, output modules mapped to the alarmed zone will be
activated. The AIM-200, unable to communicate with the CPU, will assume general alarm
responsibility and will close its own alarm bus cable connection. This has the same eff ect as
a signal from the alarm relay--all AIM-200s receive an alarm bus cable closure and enter a
general alarm condition.

Signal Silence Function - Signal Silence will only function for those CMX-2s that have
been programmed as notification appliance modules (software type C) and have been programmed for general alarm service (see the
ment).
The Signal Silence function is exercised by first closing, then opening, the alarm bus cable
connection. The closure occurs after initiation of an alarm—when the alarm relay changes
state. The opening occurs when the SIGNAL SILENCE switch is pressed—the Alarm Relay
is silenced, opening the alarm bus connection. This signals the AIM-200(s) to silence all
general alarm CMX-2 modules.
Signal Silence has no effect on CMX-2 Control Modules that are Form-C
dress 60 or higher, or that are mapped to any AIM-200 zone. These modules can only be

The CPU can be programmed for an alternate method of annunciating the AIM-200. Up to
192 intelligent devices can be annunciated on a single AIM-200 with ACM or LDM series
annunciators, or the LCD-80 Liquid Crystal Display on the RS-485 interface. The System
5000 annunciates the AIM-200 installed directly to the right of the CPU. Note that an annunciator cannot be used to execute manual ON/OFF control of intelligent AIM-200 points, only
standard System 5000 zones. The option provides annunciation of up to 256 points for the
