Page 1 of 6 Vigilant Fire & Life Safety Intelligent Input/Output GE Security Overview The Control Relay Module and the Polarity Reversal Relay Module are part of the Signature Series system. They are intelligent analog addressable devices available in either plug-in (UIO) versions, or standard 1-gang mount versions. The GSA-CR/MCR Control Relay Module provides a Form “C” dry relay contact to control external appliances such as door closers, fans, dampers etc. This device does not provide supervision of the state of the relay contact. Instead, the on-board microprocessor ensures that the relay is in the proper ON/OFF state. Upon com-mand from the loop controller, the GSA-CR/MCR relay activates the normally open or normally-closed contact. The GSA-CRR/MCRR Polarity Reversal Relay Module provides a Form “C” dry relay contact to power and activate a series of GSA-AB4G Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command from the Signature loop controller, the GSA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output, thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop. Standard-mount versions (GSA-CR and GSA-CRR) are installed to standard North American 1-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. Plug-in UIO versions (GSA-MCR and GSA-MCRR) are part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. They function identically to the standard mount versions, but take advantage of the modular fl exibility and easy installation that characterizes all UIO modules. Two-and six-module UIO motherboards are available. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures. Control Relay Modules GSA-CR, GSA-MCR, GSA-CRR, GSA-MCRR Standard Features Provides one no/nc contact (GSA-CR/MCR) Form “C” dry relay contact can be used to control external appli-ances such as door closers, fans, dampers dampers etc. Allows group operation of sounder bases The GSA-CRR/MCRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output, thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop. Plug-in (UIO) or standard 1-gang mount UIO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are required. The 1-gang mount version is ideal for remote locations that require a single module. Automatic device mapping Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature devices on the wire loop. Electronic addressing Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop con-troller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool; there are no switches or dials to set. Intelligent device with microprocessor All decisions are made at the module to allow lower communica-tion 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. Ground fault detection by by address Detects ground faults right down to the device level. ••••••• GSA-CR GSA-MCR MEA Data Sheet M85001-0239 Issue 7.2Not to be used for installation purposes.

Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a “soft” address to each serial number. If desired, the modules can be addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.GE Security recommends that this module be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.ApplicationThe operation of Signature Series control relays is determined by their sub-type code or “Personality Code.” Personality Code 8: CONTROL RELAY (GSA-CR/MCR) -Dry Contact Output. This setting configures the module to provide one Form “C” DRY RELAY CONTACT to control Door Closers, Fans, Dampers, etc. Contact rating is 2.0 amp @24 Vdc; 0.5 amp @120 Vac (or 220 Vac for non-UL applications). Personality Code 8 is assigned at the factory. No user configuration is required. Personality Code 8: Polarity olarity olarity ReVersal Relay elayelay Mod Ule (GSA-CRR/MCRR). This setting configures the module to reverse the polarity of its 24 Vdc output. Contact rating is 2.0 amp @24 Vdc (pilot duty). Personality Code 8 is assigned at the factory. No user configuration is required. CompatibilityThe Signature Series modules are compatible only with GE Security’s Signature Loop Controller.Warnings & CautionsThis module will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist.Testing & MaintenanceThe module’s automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defective and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each module and other pertinent messages. Single modules may be turned off (deactivated) temporarily, from the control panel. Availability of maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system used. Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards. Data Sheet M85001-0239 Issue 7.2Not to be used for installation purposes.

Analog information from equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each Signature device measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The microprocessor in each Signature device provides four additional benefits – Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication.Self-diagnostics and History Log – Each Signature Series device constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This information is accessible for review any time at the control panel, PC, or using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. The information stored in device memory includes: • Device serial number, address, and type• Time and date of last alarm• Most recent trouble code logged by the detector — 32 possible trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults.Automatic Device Mapping –The Signature Data Controller (SDC) learns where each device’s serial number address is installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps a map of all Signature Series devices connected to it. The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired circuits between each device can be examined. Layout or “as-built” drawing information showing branch wiring (T-taps), device types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy. This takes the mystery out of the installation. The preparation of as-built drawings is fast and efficient. Device mapping allows the Signature Data Controller to discover:• Unexpected additional device addresses• Missing device addresses• Changes to the wiring in the circuit.Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the installer to determine their actual function. Personality codes are downloaded from the SDC during system configuration and are indicated during device mapping.Standalone Operation – A decentralized alarm decision by the device is guaranteed. Onboard intelligence permits the device to operate in standalone (degrade) mode. If Signature loop controller CPU communications fail for more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit go into standalone mode. The circuit acts like like a conventional alarm receiving circuit. Each Signature device on the circuit continues to collect and analyze information from its slave devices. When connected to a panel utilizing standalone operation, modules with their “personality” set as alarm devices (IDC) will alarm should their slave alarm-initiating device activate.Signature Series is a Trademark of GE Security.
