The IDP-Control is an addressable notification module for use with Silent Knight IFP-series fire alarm control panels (FACPs). The IDP-Control gives you the flexibility to add notification circuits wherever they are needed on an IFP FACP signaling line circuit (SLC) loop. The IDP-Control provides supervised monitoring of wiring to load devices that require an external power supply to operate, such as bells, horns, and strobes. It is capable of Class B (Styles Y) and Class A (Style Z) supervision.

• Support for Class B (style Y) or Class A (style Z) wiring
• Panel controlled status LED that flashes green in normal state
and is solid red in alarm
• Polling LED visible through the cover plate
• Attractive ivory cover plate
• Rotary address switches for fast installation
• SEMS screws for easy wiring
• UL Listed
External Power Supply: Isolated from SLC loop; connects to load devices upon activation (voltage/current depends on the external supply used, not specified by the module itself).
Physical Specifications
Dimensions: 4.5″ H x 4″ W x 1.25″ D (11.4 cm x 10.2 cm x 3.2 cm).
Weight: 6.3 oz (196 g).
Mounting: Fits a 4″ square electrical box with a minimum depth of 2-1/8″ (5.4 cm).
Wiring: SEMS screws for secure connections; supports 12 to 18 AWG (0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm²).
Environmental Specifications
Operating Temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C).
Humidity: 10% to 93% RH, non-condensing.
Functional Features
Addressing: Set via rotary switches (01–159), unique to each module on the SLC loop.
Operation:
Supervises wiring to notification devices in standby mode.
Upon FACP command, disconnects supervision and connects the external power supply to the load, providing positive feedback to the panel that the relay has activated.
LED Indicator: Panel-controlled status LED:
Flashes green in normal (standby) state.
Solid red in alarm (active) state.
Isolation: External power supply is relay-isolated from the SLC loop, ensuring a trouble condition on the power supply does not affect the system.
Supervision: Provides positive indication of relay activation by disconnecting supervision during operation.
