SecuriFire
BX-IOM
Input/output module for
SecuriLine eXtended
The BX-IOM input/output module has a monitored output and a
monitored input.

It meets the specifications of SecuriLine eXtended for operation

on the ring circuit of the SecuriFire fire detection system.

• Measurement of the load resistance
The BX-IOM can be connected to the SecuriLine eXtended ring
• Programmable monitoring and triggering ranges
circuit of the SecuriFire 1000/2000/3000 fire detection systems.
The BX-IOM has a galvanically separated output for actuating
Features of the current monitoring:
monitored consumers (e.g. sirens) which are supplied with
• Measurement of the current – programmable monitoring range
power from external sources. The input can be used for polling
• Programmable monitoring range
power sources which are equipotentially bonded.

The monitored output is divided into three load ranges and can Interfaces
actuate and monitor a load of between 20 Ω and 1 kΩ.
Addressing and assigning BX-IOM parameters are performed
with PC software via the fire alarm control panel.

The BX-IOM includes a short-circuit isolator. In the event of wire

breakage or short-circuit, this functionality ensures that the fault
is localised and that operation of the ring circuit remains fully
functional.

Design and function

The BX-IOM input/output module can be used where consumers
such as sirens are to be monitored and actuated. The opto-
isolator input can either monitor the external power supply or it
can be used as an additional input. Because the BX-IOM can be
connected at any position of a ring circuit, the lines for the moni- Fig. 2 BX-IOM interfaces
tored actuation or input do not have to be conveyed to the fire
alarm control panel. This means that greater distances to the
control unit are possible. Input/output (X1)

A tool is available for calculating the maximum possible ring
length and the maximum number of participants.

Connection example
Here we describe the connection of a consumer with electronic
input switching. When the measurement voltages are low, they
have no regular resistance value for detecting line breaks, which
is why the consumer is loaded directly on its terminals with oh-
mic resistance (e.g. 680 Ω or 1 kΩ, 1 W).

In order to monitor the voltage on the external input, the “IM1 -“

input is connected to “GNDEXT”.

If no voltage monitoring is required, the connection (IM1 -

/ GNDEXT) is not connected. In this case the input can be used
for something else.
