Agni Veiga Intelligent Addressable Series Zone Monitor Module (IND-VMCZ100)

A Zone Monitor Module is an interface device that connects and supervises non-addressable (conventional) detectors or third-party input devices using standardized @ resistor values. It provides continuous monitoring for alarm, open-circuit, and short-circuit conditions and reports these states digitally to an addressable fire alarm control panel. Each module has a dedicated digital address for identification.

Description

A hybrid fire alarm system technology that enables seamless integration between wired (conventional) devices Configure through zone monitor module which is part of addressable fire alarm technology. Conventional detectors are connected through a Zone Monitor Module, which provides digital addressability, supervision, and compatibility without requiring major rewiring. This interface approach reduces installation costs, simplifies upgrades, and maintains full safety compliance.

Zone monitor module Interface device used to connect and supervise non-addressable (conventional) detectors or other third-party devices input @ digitally recognized standard resistor values to a Continuous supervision for alarm, open circuit, and short circuit conditions monitor gave a signal to addressable fire alarm control panel. Addressability: Each module is assigned a dedicated digital address

Cost-Effectiveness: Zone Monitor Module, existing conventional wiring and detectors can be can reduce installation costs and time associated with running expensive cabling major rewiring during system upgrades while still adhering to safety standards

Job to be Done

Primary Job

Integrate a conventional fire detection zone into an analogue-intelligent addressable fire alarm system while accurately reporting alarm and fault conditions as a single addressed device.

Safety Job

Ensure that faults and alarm conditions in conventional zones are detected early and clearly reported to the fire alarm control panel to maintain system reliability and occupant safety.

Functional Jobs

Enable conventional fire detection zones to operate within an addressable fire alarm loop while providing continuous monitoring of alarm, open circuit, and short circuit conditions.

How it Works

How does the Agni Veiga Zone Monitor Module (Hybrid fire alarm system) Work?

A Zone Monitor Module connects a conventional fire detection zone to an analogue-intelligent addressable fire alarm system and reports alarm and fault conditions to the control panel in real time. 

It allows the control panel to treat the entire conventional zone as one addressed Monitor on a loop.

How does the Zone Monitor Module Operate (Step-by-step)

1. Connection to Conventional Zone

The conventional fire detection devices are wired to the zone input terminals of the IND-VMCZ100 module.

2. Integration with Addressable Loop

The module connects to the analogue-intelligent addressable loop, where it is recognized by the control panel as a signal address device

3. Auto or manual Address assignee

Once connected, the module automatically receives its address from the fire alarm control panel, eliminating manual addressing.

4. Continuous Zone Monitoring

The module continuously monitors the connected conventional zone for: Normal Condition, Alarm Condition, Open Circuit, Short Circuit.

5. Event Communication to Control Panel

Any change in zone condition is instantly communicated to the analogue control panel, ensuring accurate system status and fast response.

6. Power Supply Supervision

The module operates using either loop power or an external power supply and monitors its own power source while measuring the current flowing through the conventional zone line.

Product in One Line 

The Zone Monitor Module connects conventional fire detection zones with dedicated gateways or bridge addressable fire alarm systems and continuously reports alarm and fault conditions to the control panel.

FAQ

What is a Zone Monitor Module?

A Zone Monitor Module is a device used to connect a conventional fire detection zone to an analogue-intelligent addressable fire alarm system, allowing the control panel to monitor the entire zone as a single addressed device.

The IND-VMCZ100 Zone Monitor Module interfaces conventional detection zones with an addressable loop and continuously monitors normal, alarm, open circuit, and short circuit conditions, reporting them accurately to the control panel.

The Zone Monitor Module can be powered either from the addressable loop or from an external power supply.
It also monitors its power source and measures the current flowing through the conventional zone line.

The module is designed to connect conventional fire detection zones, allowing them to operate within an intelligent addressable fire alarm system.
