Siemens ZIC-8B (575-050569) is a zone indicating card that provides eight fully supervised, programmable Class B (Style Y) output circuits for a FireFinder XLS fire alarm control panel. Each circuit is power limited to 2.0 A and can drive audible or visual notification appliances or 25 or 70 VRMS emergency audio speakers.
The card plugs into one slot of a CC-5 or CC-2 card cage. An on-board microprocessor keeps the outputs working in a degrade mode if the main XLS processor or the local network link fails, responding to alarms from initiating devices in the same enclosure. The ZIC-2C mounts on the ZIC-8B for two-channel voice operation.
