Description
Gamewell’s 600 Series AM500 Addressable Module provides the monitoring
and control of detectors and addressable input and output devices previously installed with Gamewell’s Flex 500 A control panel, giving end-users
backward compatibility between existing Flex 500 and the 632/650 analog
addressable technology. The AM500 addressable module is configured with
eight addressable circuits, with each circuit capable of monitoring up to 50
individual points. The addressable module has a dedicated microprocessor
that monitors each of its circuits while communicating all status information to the main CPU of the 600 Series control panel.
Each module is supported by a display module that provides alarm and
trouble annunciation LEDs and tactile switches for control by circuit. The
display module has space for custom labeling of each circuit.

Specifications
Ambient temperature
The AM500 Addressable Module occupies a bus position in the 632 or 650
Series control panel. The AM500 interrogates all the compatible connected
devices for their alarm and trouble status. Compatible input devices return
their alarm status to the addressable module which, in turn, communicates to the main CPU of the control panel for recording of the alarm and
trouble status. Communication time is kept to a minimum by utilizing
parallel processing on both the system MPU bus and the circuits of the
AM500 addressable module. The AM500 addressable module is capable of
supporting the Flex 500 A control panel’s addressable control devices,
addressable input interface and addressable detectors.
The Addressable Module monitors its circuits for ground faults. It will
operate in the event that the system enters into default alarm mode. The
AM500 Addressable Module will support Style 4, 6, and 7 wiring.
