Introduction
The FARADAY 8701 Intelligent interface module is
designed to provide the means of interfacing direct
shorting devices to the MPC-6000 & 7000 initiating
circuit.
The 8701 Intelligent interface module provides the
markets most advanced method of address programming
and supervision, combined with sophisticated
control panel communication. Each 8701
interface module incorporates microcomputer chip
technology and its sophisticated bi-directional
communication capabilities with the control panel.
Description
The 8701 is designed to monitor a normally open
dry contact and reports the contacts status to the
control panel.
The devices microcomputer chip has the capacity
of storing, in memory, identification information as
well as important operating status information.
FARADAY innovative technology allows all 8701
intelligent interface modules to be programmed by
8701 Intelligent Monitoring Module
using the 8720 Device Program/Test Unit. The 8720
is a compact, portable, menu driven accessory that
makes programming and testing an interface
device faster, easier and more dependable than
previous methods. The 8720 eliminates the need
for mechanical addressing mechanisms, such as
program jumpers, DIP switches or rotary dials,
because it electronically sets the 8701 interfaces
address into the interfaces microcomputer chip
non-volatile memory. Vibration, corrosion and
other conditions that deteriorate mechanical
addressing mechanisms are no longer a cause for
concern. This 8701 is connected to the program/
tester with the programming cable provided with
the tester. This programming cable utilizes two (2)
alligator clip connectors to attach to the 8701.
The 8701 Series has five leads, one for grounding,
which are wired to the system with user supplied
wire nuts.
WARNING - The information contained in this document is intended only as a summary and
is subject to change without notice. The devices described in this document have specific
instruction sheets which cover various technical, limitation and liability information. Copies
of these instruction sheets and the General Product Warning and Limitations Document,
which also contains important information, are provided with the product and are available

before specifying or using the product. For further information or assistance concerning
particular problems contact the Manufacturer.
The 8701 is fully compatible on the same circuit
with detectors, addressable manual stations or any
addressable intelligent modules.
All 8701 intelligent interface modules have been
UL and ULC Listed.
Environmental operating conditions for all 8701
modules are 32oF (oC) to 120oF (49oC) with a
relative humidity of not greater than 93%
non-condensating.
