Description

• Form Factor & Mounting: Standard plug-in card measuring 130mm × 100mm × 15mm. It slots directly into dedicated positions on the host panel’s chassis backplane assembly (typically positions P3 to P8 depending on the exact panel configuration).
• Identification: Compliant post-2014 advanced modules are designated by the silkscreen text “SEC-GEN LOOP CARD” printed along the long edge of the component side, along with an explicit firmware sticker.
• Interface Protocol: Communicates asynchronously over a proprietary internal bus architecture directly to the host panel’s Main Controller Card (MCC) or Main Controller Board (MCB).
• Max Total Device Address Capacity: 200 addresses per physical loop circuit.
• Maximum Loop Load Current:
  • Peak Alarm Current: Up to 800mA under full load when driving certified, modern loop devices (e.g., S-Quad or S-Cubed ranges).
  • Legacy Limitation: Automatically throttles down to 400mA maximum if older generation or mixed-legacy devices are actively detected on the wiring pathway.
  • Cable and Topology Constraints: Supports maximum loop physical wiring path lengths of up to 2.0 km when commissioned with 1.5mm² fire-resistant standard shielded cabling. Total length restrictions include all sub-spurs and branches.
