SCM-SS

Six-Circuit Addressable Control Module

and SYNC-1 Accessory Card

Description

Gamewell’s SCM-SS SmartScan™

six-circuit addressable control

module provides intelligent alarm

systems with supervised monitoring

of wiring to load devices that require

an external power supply to operate,

such as horns, strobes, or bells. Each

module is intended for switching ap-

plications involving AC, DC, or audio,

which require wiring supervision.

Upon command from the control

panel, the SCM-SS will disconnect

the supervision and connect the ex-

ternal power supply across the load

device.

The first module is addressed from

01 to 94 while the remaining modules

are automatically assigned to the next

five higher addresses. Provisions are

included for disabling a maximum of

three unused addresses. Each SCM-SS module has terminals for connection to an

external supply circuit for powering devices on its notification appliance circuit. One or

multiple power supplies or amplifiers may be used.

Each SCM-SS module features a short-circuit protection monitor to protect the exter-

nal power supply against short-circuit conditions on the NAC. When an alarm condi-

tion occurs, the relay which connects the external supply to the NAC will not be al-

lowed to close if a short-circuit condition condition currently exists on the NAC. Addi-

tionally, an algorithm is incorporated to find shorts when the module is active. The

SCM-SS module will close all circuits that are not shorted to find the NAC with the

problem.

Each SCM-SS module has panel-controlled green LED indicators. The panel can cause

the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. The SYNC-1 accessory card provides the SCM-

SS with additional functionality with compatible System Sensor SpectrAlert® audio/

visual devices.

SYNC-1 Accessory Card

The SYNC-1 accessory card is designed to operate with the SCM-SS. It works with

the SpectrAlert® series of horns, strobes, and horn/strobes to provide a means of

synchronizing the temporal-coded horns; synchronizing the one-second flash timing

of the strobe; and silencing the horns of the horn/strobe combination over a two-wire

circuit while leaving the strobes active. Each SYNC-1 accessory card is capable of

synchronizing six Class B circuits or three Class A circuits.

Maximum load on a loop: 3 A.

Operating temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C).

Wire size: 12 to 18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²).

Operating voltage range: 11 to 30 VDC FWR, filtered or unfiltered. Refer to notifica-

tion appliance installation instructions for number of notification appliances and wire

size.
