LDM Lamp Driver

Installation Sheet - Released
26/03/2015 Rev A
DOC-03-091

1 Product Overview
The LDM Lamp Driver Modules (LDM-32, LDM-E32, and LDM-R32) are used to drive lamps or LEDs in a
custom mimic connected to an addressable fire panel.

2 Installation

WARNING: Remove all power sources to the panel before installation. Leave the
external and main power OFF until installation is complete.

2.1 Mounting a LDM Module to a CHS Chassis

1. Screw two 3/4” stand-offs onto the mounting studs of a CHS chassis.
2. Place the module on the CHS chassis. Ensure the tab on the module slides into the slot on the
CHS chassis.
3. Secure the module with two 4-40 screws.

Figure 2-1 - Mounting the LDM to a CHS Chassis

2.2 Mounting a LDM Relay Expander

The LDM-R32 can either be mounted alongside a LDM module or expander in the CHS chassis (see
section 2.1 for CHS mounting), or stacked on top of a LDM module using the standoffs provided (see Figure
2-2.)
Make sure to connect the Relay Power Ribbon Cable between the LDM-R32 and the LDM Module, as
shown in Figure 2-3.

2.3 Connections

NOTE: When cables are not run in a conduit, shielding on cables for EIA-485
connections must be grounded outside the enclosure and fire panel. See the LDM
Series Instruction Manual for more information.

NOTE: The available address range for the LDM-32 is 2-32 (inclusive.)

1. Set a unique address for the LDM-32 using the rotary address switches along the side of the
module.
2. Set the operating mode using the DIP switches on the LDM-32. See Table 1 for a description of the
switch functions.
3. Configure annunciator points via the panel’s keypad or through VeriFire Tools. Refer to the panel’s
Programming Manual for further information on programming the annunciator.
