1 Product Overview
The LDM Lamp Driver Modules (LDM-32, LDM-E32, and LDM-R32) are used to drive lamps or LEDs in a
custom mimic connected to an addressable fire panel.
2 Installation
WARNING: Remove all power sources to the panel before installation. Leave the
external and main power OFF until installation is complete.
2.1 Mounting a LDM Module to a CHS Chassis
1. Screw two 3/4” stand-offs onto the mounting studs of a CHS chassis.
2. Place the module on the CHS chassis. Ensure the tab on the module slides into the slot on the
CHS chassis.
3. Secure the module with two 4-40 screws.
Figure 2-1 - Mounting the LDM to a CHS Chassis
2.2 Mounting a LDM Relay Expander
The LDM-R32 can either be mounted alongside a LDM module or expander in the CHS chassis (see
section 2.1 for CHS mounting), or stacked on top of a LDM module using the standoffs provided (see Figure
2-2.)
Make sure to connect the Relay Power Ribbon Cable between the LDM-R32 and the LDM Module, as
shown in Figure 2-3.

NOTE: When cables are not run in a conduit, shielding on cables for EIA-485
connections must be grounded outside the enclosure and fire panel. See the LDM
Series Instruction Manual for more information.

NOTE: All LEDs must be in the same room as the LDM modules.
3 Configuration
3.1 Setting the Address and Operating Modes
Figure 3-1 - Rotary address & DIP switches on the LDM-32
NOTE: The available address range for the LDM-32 is 2-32 (inclusive.)
1. Set a unique address for the LDM-32 using the rotary address switches along the side of the
module.
2. Set the operating mode using the DIP switches on the LDM-32. See Table 1 for a description of the
switch functions.
3. Configure annunciator points via the panel’s keypad or through VeriFire Tools. Refer to the panel’s
Programming Manual for further information on programming the annunciator.

Turn ‘ON’ when the lamp driver is used to control relays.
Configures the number of expander modules.
See Table for details.
Turn ‘ON’ for Receive Only mode, to mirror another LDM at the
same address in a different location.
Turn ‘ON’ for Piezo Disable, to disable the buzzer from sounding
for any event.
Turn ‘ON’ for Switch Inhibit, to disable point control switches on
the annunciator.
Turn ‘ON’ for Flash Inhibit, to disable the flashing of LEDs for
unacknowledged events. Also disables piezo.
N.B.: Flash Inhibit must be ON when using the LDM-R32.
