Product Overview
The Model TRI-series of intelligent interface
modules from Siemens — Fire Safety is designed to
provide the means of interfacing direct shorting
devices to Model MLC for the FireFinder XLS FRCP,
or to Model ALD for the MXL system, respectively.
The Model TRI-series of intelligent interface
modules provides the most advanced method of
address programming and supervision — combined
with sophisticated FACP communication. Each
Model TRI-series interface module incorporates a
microcomputer chip. In turn, the microcomputer -
chip technology and its sophisticated bi-directional
communication capabilities with the FRCP, achieve
the state of an 'Intelligent Device.'
Specifications
The Model TRI-series of intelligent interface
modules is available in three (3) models. Models
TRI-S and TRI-R are designed to monitor a normally
open (N.O.) dry contact. The interface module
reports the contact's status to the FACP.
SIEMENS Industry, Inc.
Building Technologies Division
The sole purpose of Model TRI-S is to monitor and
report the status of the contact, while Model TRI-R
incorporates an addressable 'Form C' relay. The
relay and contact device input for Model TRI-R are
controlled at the same address. The relay and input
contact can be controlled as a separate function.
The relay is typically used where control or shunting
of external equipment is required.
Model TRI-D is a dual -input module that is designed to
supervise and monitor two (2) sets of dry contacts.
Model TRI-D requires two (2) address settings. Model
TRI-D is ideal for monitoring a waterflow switch and its
respective valve tamper switch.
Model TRI-series has a multi -color LED that flashes
green when operating normally; , if unit is in
trouble condition, and red to indicate a change of
status command. Model TRI-D flashes two (2) times —
once for each address, and the red LED of Model TRI-R
indicates a change of state in the relay.

Specifications — (continued)
The microcomputer chip for the Model TRI-series of
devices has the capacity of storing — in memory —
identification information as well as important
operating status information.
Siemens — Fire Safety innovative technology allows
all Mode[ TRI-series intelligent interface modules to
be programmed and tested, via Model DPU or the
FPI-32 Programmer / Tester. Each of these
programmer / testers is a compact, portable and
menu -driven accessory that makes programming
and testing an interface device faster, easier and
more dependable than previous methods.
Mode[ DPU or the FPI-32 eliminates the need for
mechanical addressing mechanisms (such as:
program jumpers, DIP switches, or rotary dials),
since either programmer / tester device
electronically sets the address of the Mode[ TRI-
series into the interface's microcomputer -chip, non-
volatile memory. Vibration, corrosion and other
conditions that deteriorate mechanical addressing
mechanisms are no longer a cause for concern.
The Model TRI-series of intelligent interface
modules is fitted with screw terminals for
connection to an addressable circuit, and is fully
compatible on the same circuit with all intelligent
Mode[ FP; Mode[ IL and Mode[ ID-60-series
detectors; Mode[ MSI Series addressable manual
stations, or any other addressable intelligent
modules, such as Mode[ CZM or Model ICP.
All Model TRI-series intelligent interface modules
are ®UL and ULC Listed.
