The Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module is an intelligent, high-reliability life-safety interface engineered to supervise normally open or normally closed dry-contact initiating devices across modern fire networks. Designed to operate seamlessly on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of Maple Armor FW2105 and FW2107 control panels, the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module requires only a single address while delivering multi-mode monitoring versatility. Compliant with strict UL 864 10th Edition and CAN/ULC-S527 standards, the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module provides real-time supervisory tracking for waterflow switches, sprinkler control valves, duct detectors, and auxiliary fire contacts.

Ensure all IDC line resistance limits, tamper switch contact polarities, and EOL resistor ratings comply with national NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Code Standards before finalizing the installation of the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module.
The core functionality of the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module centers on its programmable input flexibility. Through panel software configuration, the module’s initiating circuit can be individually mapped as an Alarm input (for non-addressable pull stations or heat detectors), Supervisory input (for fire pump run contacts and OS&Y gate valve tamper switches), Trouble input, or Monitor signal. Latched or non-latched tracking behaviors can be selected directly within the panel logic to align with specific facility emergency management sequences.
Engineered with rugged terminal blocks, the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module supports both Class A and Class B wiring topologies with continuous supervision against opens, shorts, and earth ground faults. Addresses are set digitally using the FW2411 handheld electronic programmer, eliminating vulnerable mechanical switches and ensuring dependable digital communications on busy signaling circuits.
Q1: What types of field devices can be supervised by the Maple Armor FW2811 Addressable Input Monitor Module?
A: The FW2811 monitors any normally open or normally closed dry-contact device, including waterflow switches, sprinkler valve tamper switches, non-addressable manual stations, fire pump run contacts, and kitchen suppression system discharge contacts.
Q2: What is the required End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR) value for Class B wiring?
A: The module requires a standard 10 kΩ end-of-line resistor (such as the Maple Armor FW422 mounting plate) for Class B supervised circuits.
Q3: Can the module be configured for Class A circuit wiring?
A: Yes. The FW2811 fully supports 4-wire Class A initiating device circuits without requiring an external resistor.
Q4: How is the address assigned to the FW2811 module?
A: The address is electronically programmed into the module using the Maple Armor FW2411 handheld programmer before connecting it to the SLC.
Q5: What electrical junction boxes are compatible with this module?
A: It mounts flush to standard North American 4-inch square electrical boxes (minimum 2-1/8 inch depth recommended) or surface mounts using Maple Armor FW800/FW801 plastic boxes.
Q6: Which fire alarm panels are compatible with the FW2811 input module?
A: It is compatible with Maple Armor Series 2 control panels, including the FW2105 multi-loop panel and the FW2107 dual-hazard releasing panel.
