remotely from the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3

(XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire
Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 Figure 1
(Cerberus PRO Modular). It has four SSD-C System Status Display
40-character alphanumeric LCD
character lines, backlit upon status change or display toggling. This module is super-
vised by the main panel and also has LEDs and an optional sounder to indicate the
status of the system. The SSD-C has the capability to store up to 1500 event mes-
sages and has pushbuttons to scroll through these events. Its display is independent
from the display on the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety
Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular). During the SSD-C/SSD-C-INTL initial
power up, the SSD-C/SSD-C-INTL is configured in Display-only mode.

The following items are supplied with the SSD-C/SSD-C-INTL:

• SSD mounting plate (P/N 300-034289) with the SSD-TB interface board
(P/N 515-034170)
• 8-pin wiring interface cable (P/N 555-134347)
• SSD-C housing (P/N 195-134170) with an SSD-C-main board (P/N 557-034170)
• Overlay—The SSD-C has one overlay, the SSD-C-INTL has three overlays.
- SSD-C overlay (P/N 200-134294 in English)
- SSD-C-INTL overlays (P/N 200-134751 in French, P/N 200-134752 in
Spanish, P/N 200-134753 in Portuguese)
• 4 screws to mount the housing to the mounting bracket (P/N 545-634442)
The SSD-C-INTL is used in applications where French, Spanish or Portuguese is the
primary language. It is identical to the SSD-C in all other ways, and will be referred to
in the remainder of this document as SSD-C.

OPERATION The SSD-C has six LEDs and a sounder to indicate the status of the fire alarm panel.
The LCD indicates the state of a specific event. The SSD-C also has push buttons
that allow the user to scroll through the events list, and/or take control of the system.

The SSD-C can be configured as Display only or with System Control and can be
used in two different vectoring applications: No Vectoring and Queue Vectoring.Refer
to the Programming section on page 7 for information on configuring the system.

 When the SSD-C is configured as Display only, pushbutton presses to any control
keys will not affect the logic of the system, but will silence the SSD-C audible signal
regardless of the position of the security keyswitch.

When the SSD-C is configured with System Control, the security keyswitch has to be
in the ENABLE position for the control pushbuttons (ACKNOWLEDGE, SILENCE,
UNSILENCE and RESET) to respond.

When the SSD-C is used in a No Vectoring application, all events that occur in the
system are displayed on the SSD-C. If the SSD-C is configured with System Control,
it can take full control of the system (Acknowledge events, Silence/Unsilence
Audibles and Reset the system).

Queue Vectoring displays only the specific event type(s) (Alarm, Supervisory, Security
and/or Trouble) that have been configured in the Zeus Programming Tool. Multiple
queues (Alarm, Supervisory, Security and/or Trouble) can be selected, but in Queue
Vectoring at least one queue is not selected. Selections are made in the Zeus
Programming Tool by deselecting any Display event type(s)—Alarm, Supervisory,
Security and/or Trouble—not desired in the queue. Refer to the Programming section
on page 7 for further information.

Acknowledgment Events display on an SSD-C in the priority order of Alarm, Supervisory, Security and
Trouble. An SSD-C with Queue Vectoring will display only those events for which it
has been configured and it can acknowledge an event only if the event is from the
highest priority queue with unacknowledged events. The ability of an SSD-C with
Queue Vectoring to display and acknowledge events depends on a combination of
the queue settings and the current events in the system.

• For example, an SSD-C that is configured to display only Alarms will be able
to acknowledge any alarms that exist on the system but will not be able to
display or acknowledge any Supervisories, Securities or Troubles that may
exist once the alarms have been acknowledged.
• An additional example is an SSD-C that is configured to display only
Troubles. If only trouble events exist on the system or if all higher priority
events are already acknowledged, then the SSD-C will be able to acknowl-
edge Troubles. However if there are any unacknowledged Alarms,
Supervisories and/or Securities, the SSD-C will not be able to acknowledge
the troubles until the alarms, supervisories and/or securities have been
acknowledged.

Silence/Unsilence An SSD-C may silence audibles only if it is configured to display Alarms and all
alarms are acknowledged.

Reset An SSD-C may reset the system only if all events are displayed on the SSD-C and all
events have been acknowledged. If any events exist on the system that are not of a
type displayed on the SSD-C, then the SSD-C will not be able to reset even if all
events are acknowledged. An example of this is an SSD-C configured for Alarm only.
It will be able to reset the system only if all the events on the system are alarms. If
any other event types exist, an Alarm-only SSD-C cannot reset the system.

Controls and Indicators The front panel of the SSD-C contains 6 LEDs, 1 LCD display, up and down
nagivational buttons, a keyswitch, and Acknowledge, Silence, Unsilence, and Reset
buttons, as shown in Figure 1.

Installing The SSD-C

The SSD must be installed in a dry, protected environment only.

Feed the field wiring from the double gang or 4 inch switchbox through the opening
in the mounting plate. Secure the mounting plate to the switchbox with screws (user
supplied).

Make the wiring connections to the mounting plate as shown in Figure 6.

Connect the supplied 8-pin cable from P1 on the mounting plate to P1 on the back of
the SSD-C Assembly. Align the standards in the four corners of the mounting plate
with the standards in the four corners of the SSD-C Assembly. Secure with the
screws provided.

Peel off the backing on the self-adhesive strip on the back of the overlay that is
located just below the cutout for the display. Insert the 3 bottom tabs on the appro-
priate overlay with the 3 corresponding slots in the bottom of the SSD-C Assembly.
Slightly bend the overlay to align and insert the 3 top tabs into the 3 corresponding
slots in the top of the SSD-C Assembly. Press the overlay to the SSD-C assembly just
beneath the cutout for the SSD display so that the adhesive from the strip on the
overlay adheres to the SSD-C assembly. Discard the remaining overlays, if applicable.

Be sure to route field wiring away from sharp projections, corners and internal
components of the SSD.
