Potter Electric PAD100-DIM Addressable Dual Input Module

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PAD100-DIM is an addressable dual input module designed for use in fire alarm and life safety control systems. It monitors two separate supervised input circuits and reports their status back to the fire alarm control panel over an addressable signaling line circuit. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians install this module as part of a complete detection or notification network. The dual input design allows a single module address to cover two monitored points, reducing wiring overhead and simplifying panel programming in larger installations.

The PAD100-DIM is suited for commercial and light industrial fire alarm system applications where addressable loop architecture is used. It is typically installed in electrical junction boxes or device housings at field locations throughout a building, interfacing contact-closure devices such as tamper switches, waterflow switches, pull stations, or other dry-contact initiating devices to the addressable signaling line circuit. Installation is performed by qualified fire alarm technicians in accordance with applicable NFPA 72 requirements and local authority having jurisdiction guidelines.

Key Features

• Dual supervised input circuits monitored under a single addressable address
• Addressable signaling line circuit interface for direct panel communication
• Reduces field wiring compared to conventional two-module installations
• Compatible with dry-contact initiating devices including tamper and waterflow switches
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style addressable input module for use with compatible Potter Electric fire alarm control panels and addressable signaling line circuit architectures. Verify panel compatibility and address capacity with system documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. De-energize the addressable signaling line circuit and notify the monitoring station before beginning work. Ensure the module address is programmed and verified at the control panel prior to restoring system power. Do not install in environments outside the module rated operating conditions.
