SIGA-CRH

Description Standard Features

The SIGA-CRH High Power Control Relay Module is an address- • High Power Rating
able device designed for interface applications that require a high 120/240 VAC or 24 VDC rated contact can be used to control
voltage, high current relay. Two identical sets of relay terminals are external appliances such as door closers, fans, dampers etc.

The module requires one address on the signaling line circuit • Automatic device mapping
(SLC). The address is assigned electronically. There are no ad- Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller

devices on the wire loop.
• Removable terminal blocks
Easy wiring and module replacement.
• Electronic addressing
Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop con-
troller or PC; there are no switches or dials to set.
• Intelligent device
Distributed intelligence allows lower communication speed with
substantially improved control panel response time and less
sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties; twisted or
shielded wire is not required.

Application Installation
Personality code Compatible electrical box
Use Personality Code 8 to configure the SIGA-CRH module:
Personality code 8: Signal - dry contact output. Configures SIGA-CRH
the module as a dry relay contact to control external appli-
ances (door closers, fan controllers, dampers) or equipment

Indication
The status LED shows the state of the module through the cover
plate:
• Normal: Green LED flashes
• Alarm/active: Red LED flashes

Compatibility
The SIGA-CRH is part of the Signature Series intelligent process-
ing and control platform. It is compatible with EST3, EST3X, and Consult the SIGA-CRH High Power Control Relay Module Installa-

Warnings & Cautions

The SIGA-CRH will not operate without electrical power. As fires Wiring
frequently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss
further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist.

serial number stored in its on-board memory. Not supervised. Power-limited unless connected to a nonpowerlimited
source. If the source is nonpower-limited, eliminate the power-limited
mark and maintain a minimum of 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) space from
power-limited wiring. For other mounting methods, see enclosure and
bracket installation sheets to maintain separation of power-limited and
nonpower-limited wiring. The wire size must be capable of handling
fault current from a nonpower-limited source.

Use type FPL, FPLR, FPLP, or permitted substitute cables, provided
these power-limited cable conductors extending beyond the jacket
are separated by a minimum of 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) space or by
a nonconductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other
conductors. Refer to the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code for more
details.

[1] Provide external fusing and back-EMF mitigation as required by

your application. Do not use the SIGA-CRH in a mixed application,
where one set of relay terminals has high-power requirements and
the other set carries a low-power signal, as this may result in physical
contamination of the low-power signal contacts.
[2] The minimum load required in order to avoid long-term contact
oxidation is 100 mA and 12 V.
[3] Power must not exceed the contact ratings shown for a given PF
(power factor).
