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.

2.3 Connections 
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.
