Description
The SIGA-IM Isolator Module is part of ESTs Signature Series
system. This intelligent device enables part of the Signature data
loop to continue operating should a short circuit occur. The
module can be wired into a Class A data loop at any point.
If a fault occurs, the isolator cuts power to all devices beyond the
isolator on the loop as follows:
a short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec.
at 10 msec intervals, beginning on one side of the Class A circuit
nearest the loop controller, the isolators close to provide the
next isolator down the line with power.
when the isolator next to the short closes, it reopens within 10 msec.
Once activated, the line fault isolator continuously checks the
faulted side of the loop to determine if the short still exists. When
the fault is removed, the module automatically restores the entire
data loop to the normal condition.
The microprocessor in every Signature module provides at least
three important benefits Self-diagnostics and History Log,
Automatic Device Mapping, and Fast, Stable Communication.
Self-diagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series module
constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. This information is automatically updated and permanently stored

Automatic Device Mapping - The Signature loop controller learns


keeps a map where each devices serial number address is
installed relative to other devices on the data circuit. Device
mapping allows the Signature loop controller to discover:
unexpected additional device addresses
missing device addresses
changes to the wiring in the circuit.
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 asbuilt drawing information showing wire branches (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 asbuilt drawings is fast and efficient.
Fast Stable Communication - Built-in intelligence means less
information needs to be sent between the module and the loop
controller. Other than regular supervisory polling response, the
module only needs to communicate with the loop controller when
it has something new to report. This provides very fast control
panel response time and allows a lower baud rate (speed) to be
used for communication on the loop. The lower baud rate offers
several advantages including:
less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics
less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable

EST3 V.2 only.

Testing & Maintenance

Application & Compatibility

The modules 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.

This module should only be used on Class A circuits. The


operation of the SIGA-IM is determined by its hardware type code
and is assigned at the factory. No user configuration is required.
The Signature Series modules are compatible only with ESTs
Signature Loop Controller.
