🔥 Fire Alarm System Function
The 808610.10B is designed to expand the number of relay-controlled outputs available within a compatible fire alarm control system.
Typical relay-controlled equipment may include:
🔹 Fire dampers
🔹 Smoke control equipment
🔹 External signaling devices
🔹 Building control interfaces
🔹 Shutdown circuits
🔹 Ventilation control interfaces
🔹 Auxiliary alarm equipment
🔹 External monitoring systems
🔹 Industrial fire protection equipment
The exact switching function of each relay depends on the programming and configuration of the fire alarm control system.
🔌 Esserbus Loop Integration
The transponder operates as a device on the Esserbus multifunctional primary line.
A major advantage of the module is that only one loop address is required for the complete transponder. The system can support multiple transponders according to the capacity and configuration of the connected fire alarm control panel.
Manufacturer information for the 808610.10 identifies limits of up to 100 transponders per compatible fire alarm control panel and up to 32 transponders per loop or detector zone, depending on the system configuration.
⚡ Relay Output Configuration
The module provides twelve relay outputs.
Eleven relay outputs can be programmed individually for different control functions.
The relay contacts can be configured according to the application requirements and supported operating mode.
The transponder can operate with an external switching voltage for relay operation. Supported external supply configurations include:
🔹 12 VDC
🔹 24 VDC
In potential-free operating configurations, an external relay switching voltage may not be required for the applicable programmable relay outputs.
The maximum contact load is rated at:
30 VDC / 1 A per relay contact
The combined load must not exceed:
3 A per transponder
These electrical limits should be observed when connecting external equipment.
