6. Fault Isolator With Base: - Fault Isolator Module shall be used on panel intelligent loop
communication circuits along with other modules and sensors. It detect a wire-to-wire short and
electrically isolates that condition from the circuit so that communication is maintained with
unaffected devices on the same circuit. Application: The module enables part of an intelligent
interface board communication circuit to continue operating when a short occurs on the circuit. If
used in a two wire loop configuration, one module isolates a short to the part of the loop between
the module and the intelligent interface board, allowing the rest of the loop to continue operating
normally, the modules isolate a short or open to the part of the loop between them. In a star
configuration a module can be used in each leg so a short on one leg does not affect communication
on any other leg. An integral LED blinks to indicate normal status and is on to indicate a short in
the loop.
