Model ZIC-8B
Zone Indicating Card
INTRODUCTION
Features
P/N 315-048670-11
The Model ZIC-8B from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a zone
indicating card that provides notification appliance circuits for
the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO
Modular system. It has 8 outputs that can be configured as
Class B only for control of audible and visual notification
appliances such as horns, speakers, bells, strobes, etc.
Each zone can be configured independently for different
usages as programmed in the Zeus tool and can be controlled
automatically by program logic or manually using the PMI/
PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modu-
lar), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular). Installation of a
ZIC-2C Zone Indicating Card on the ZIC-8B gives it two
channel audio capability.
The ZIC-8B supports synchronized and non-synchronized
strobes. This selection is available in the Zeus tool under the
detail properties for each ZIC-8B circuit. Synchronization across
multiple ZIC-8B cards is automatic as a part of the FireFinder-
XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular
operating characteristics. Refer to document P/N 315-096363
for a list of strobes that support synchronization.
