Mini Monitor Module Fike 55-050

The Mini Monitor Module, Fike 55-045 & 55-050, provides a single, Class B initiating device circuit (IDC) capable of monitoring normally open contact fire alarms as well as supervisory devices or normally open supervisory/process devices. In addition to monitoring the connected contacts, the module will monitor the wiring to the device for open circuits via an end of line resistor (Class B only). Also, the module has a single tricolor LED to indicate device status. The isolator version of the module, P/N 55-050, provides complete short circuit isolation for installations requiring NFPA, Class X wiring.

In general, the Fike 55-045 is compatible with Fike’s CyberCat and Cheetah Xi intelligent control panels. Besides, its operating parameters are configure using the panel’s programming software and are store within non-volatile RAM in the module. This on-board intelligence allows each module to communicate its status directly to other devices connected to the panel. Besides, this peer-to-peer digital protocol results in less information that needs to be sent between the module and the host control panel, resulting in faster, more reliable communication.
