Description

Overview

Kidde’s GSA-CRH High Power Control Relay Module is an address­able device designed for interface applications that require high voltage, high current relay. Two identical sets of relay terminals are provided. Both sets of relay contacts transfer when the module is activated or restored. The state of the output terminals is not supervised.

The module requires one address on the signaling line circuit (SLC), and the address is assigned electronically. There are no ad­dress switches to set.

Application

Personality Code

Use Personality Code 8 to configure the GSA-CRH Control Relay module.

Personality Code 8: Signal – dry contact output. Configures the module as a dry relay contact to control external appli­ances (door closers, fan controllers, dampers) or equipment shutdown.

Indication

The LED status shows the state of the module through the cover plate:

  • Normal: Green LED flashes
  • Alarm/active: Red LED flashes

Compatibility

The GSA-CRH is part of the Signature Series intelligent process­ing and control platform. It is compatible with VM Series and VS Series control panels.

Testing & Maintenance

Kidde’s GSA-CRH has an automatic self-diagnosis which identifies when it is defective and prompts a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each module and other per­tinent messages. Single modules may be turned off (deactivated) temporarily, from the control panel.

Electronic Addressing

The loop controller electronically addresses the GSA-CRH, saving valuable time during system commissioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. The module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory.
