General
The ADR-823 is a three-channel input/output analog control module that contains two
output circuits (NAC – Notification Alarm Circuit) and a single input circuit (IDC –
Initiating Device Circuit). This module is intended for use in cases where there is a need
for multiple output and input modules to carry out supervisory, alarm, and automatic
extinguishing functions.
The ADR-823 acts as an interface between an ADR-3000 analog control panel and
conventional warning, alarm, and activating devices such as horns, strobes, automatic
extinguishing devices, pressure switches, valves, and flow switches.
The ADR-823 controls two 2-wire output lines. The first, NAC-A, works as a "changed
polarity" and activates an additional dry-contact alarm relay. The other, NAC-B, works in
level activation mode. Each output has a separate address.
Additionally, the unit includes a two-wire input circuit (IDC) intended for connection to a
flow switch or alarm pushbutton as a separate address, or a supervisory pressure switch
sharing the same address as NAC-A.
The module is programmed to use between one and three consecutive addresses
according to the planned configuration. These addresses should be between 1 and 127
and are programmed by the PROG-4000 programmer.
The ADR-823 has four configurations that are set by jumpers on the card. The logic
properties and number of addresses are chosen accordingly.
The ADR-823 is controlled by and communicates with the control panel through an
analog SLC circuit and receives 24 VDC from the control panel or a local addressable
power supply such as Telefire's TPS-34A.
The module reports supervision status of the connected loads to the control panel. Load
circuit status is reported as open or shorted circuit.

Operating Modes
The module The ADR-823 can be configured to four different operating modes according
to the following jumper setting table:

Number of
Configuration JP7 JP8 NAC A NAC B IDC IDC Function addresses
A Off On First Second First Normally Closed 2
Address Address Address Supervisory Circuit
B On Off First Second First Normally Open 2
Address Address Address Supervisory Circuit
C Off Off First Not Not 1
Address Active Active
D On On First Second Third Fire / Flow Switch 3
Address Address Address Input

The supervisory circuit in configurations A and B is intended for supervision of pressure

switches of extinguishing cylinders, valves, and other switches. Trouble display for the
IDC line will show as the shared address of NAC-A.
The ADR-823 has a status LED that can be latched on and be returned to the normal
mode by code command from the panel.

Indicating LEDs
The red LED (LD1) continually flickers on each system communication request to one of
the addresses of the module. At alarm mode of one of the IDC circuits, the LED will
latch on.
The yellow LED (LD2) will flicker whenever a trouble mode occurs such as IDC short
circuit, low 24V input voltage, or open circuit. The control panel will display the relevant
trouble event.
