Siemens LIM-1 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

MODEL LIM-1
Loop Isolator Module
OPERATION
The Model LIM-1 Loop Isolator module from Siemens
Industry, Inc., isolates short circuits on MXL and
FireFinder-XLS intelligent device loops. By placing
devices between LIM-1s during installation, a short in
the wiring within that group is disconnected from the
rest of the loop. The remainder of the devices
continue to operate. The LIM-1 operates in both
Class A and Class B circuits.
A yellow LED flashes when a device detects a short
circuit. The LIM-1 then isolates that part of the loop.
When the short is removed, the LIM-1 automatically
restores the loop to normal operation. The LIM-1
does not have a loop address and therefore does not
require address programming nor does it reduce the
loop capacity below 60 (MXL) or 252 (XLS) devices.
