Information About 3-SSDC2
The 3-SSDC2 belongs to the EST3 Signature Driver Controller family, engineered for addressable fire alarm system integration. Each module includes its own microprocessor to coordinate communication, process information, and supervise device operation independently of the panel CPU. Installed on the local rail, it occupies one cabinet space and uses removable terminal blocks for easier wiring. This controller supports one loop of Signature Series devices, offering advanced distributed intelligence by shifting decision-making closer to the devices. It is backward compatible with earlier Signature Driver Controllers (3-SSDC, 3-SDDC, 3-SSDC1, and 3-SDDC1), making it a flexible upgrade choice.
Key Features:
- Dedicated Microprocessor: Provides independent loop processing and communication management.
- Digital Communication Protocol: Less sensitive to cable characteristics, supports use of existing wiring.
- Loop Capacity: Supports one circuit with up to 250 Signature detectors and 250 Signature modules.
- Device Location Supervision: Detects missing, extra, or relocated devices and mismatched programming.
- Automatic Mapping: Stores both expected and actual device data, including physical sequence and “T” taps.
- Day/Night Sensitivity Adjustment: Automatically adapts to different environmental conditions.
- Multiple Survival Modes: Can continue operation in stand-alone mode if communication is disrupted.
- Backward Compatibility: Works with earlier SSDC and SDDC modules.
- Removable Terminals: Simplifies field wiring and maintenance.
- Supports CO Detection: Fully compatible with Signature carbon monoxide detectors.
- Scalability: Up to 10 circuits per cabinet (10× 3-SSDC2 or 5× 3-SDDC2).
The 3-SSDC2 delivers intelligent control, enhanced supervision, and reliable loop management for Signature device networks.
