CTX-95 City Tie Expander g2282ph1.jpg The Gamewell-FCI City Tie Expander (CTX-95) is a singlecircuit, reverse-polarity transmitter that provides the interface between the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) and a municipal system or central station. The CTX-95 connects to the panel via a three-wire SLC circuit. The most common usage is transmitting supervisory signals and their faults on a separate city tie from the main system, and to transmit alarms to a central station to indicate building alarm or arrival entrance to building. CS-2042ph2.wmf Description The CTX-95 is either surface or flush mounted and has an integral LED that lights at device activation. CTX-95 CTX-95 Operation The CTX-95 is a programmable reverse polarity city tie circuit. The module contains the XP-95 protocol to communicate with the Gamewell-FCI 600 Series of analog addressable control panels. The module provides the power and supervision for the reverse polarity city tie. Programming CTX-95 selected circuits insures that only their alarms and troubles are transmitted to the central station. Programming The CTX-95 is programmed by setting a single DIP switch easily accessible on the device’s printed circuit board. The DIP switch is used to set the address of the CTX-95. All other programming is accomplished at the Fire Alarm Control Panel, either through a laptop computer or through the Control Panel Operator’s Display. Features • Compatible with all Gamewell-FCI 600 Series analog addressable FACPs. • Connects to addressable SLC. • Provides one reverse polarity circuit. • Over-voltage protector built-in. • LED annunciates activation. • Fully supervised. • Surface or flush mounting. • Field programmable. • Style 4, 6, or 7 wiring. • Screw terminals for field-wiring connections. Mounting The CTX-95 mounts in a standard 4.688" (11.908 cm) electrical backbox. The CTX-95 should be mounted in an easily accessible location so that the LED may be seen for quick indication of proper connection and activation.
