The Siemens TRI-R is a single-input intelligent interface module with an integral Form C relay. It monitors one normally-open dry contact and provides one programmable relay output.
Specifically, the TRI-R interfaces direct-shorting devices to the FireFinder XLS panel through the MLC loop card. Alternatively, it interfaces to the MXL fire alarm panel through the ALD addressable loop driver. As a result, the panel sees both the input contact state and controls the relay at the same device address.
Typical uses include waterflow monitoring, sprinkler valve tamper, duct detector status, and elevator capture. Furthermore, the on-board relay can shunt or activate external equipment like fans, dampers, and door holders.
How the Siemens TRI-R Module Works
Each TRI-R contains a microcomputer chip with non-volatile memory. Therefore, the address is set electronically using the Siemens DPU or FPI-32 programmer. No DIP switches or rotary dials are involved. In addition, the chip stores identification and status data that the FACP polls continuously.
The multi-color status LED makes diagnostics fast. Specifically, green flashing indicates normal communications. Amber flashing indicates a trouble condition. Red indicates a change-of-state command from the panel — including relay activation.
Key Features
- Single normally-open dry contact input
- Integral Form C (SPDT) addressable relay output
- One device address controls both input and relay
- Multi-color LED status indicator (green/amber/red)
- Electronically programmable address — no DIP switches
- Two-wire operation on the addressable initiating circuit
- Dynamic supervision of input and relay state
- 5″ × 5″ faceplate included
- Front-access programming port and wiring terminals
- UL Listed, ULC Listed, CSFM and NYC Fire Department approved
Compatible Panels
The TRI-R works with Siemens FireFinder XLS panels (via the MLC loop module) and MXL panels (via the ALD addressable loop driver). The TRI-R is NOT compatible with Siemens Sinteso (European product line) or with any non-Siemens addressable protocol.
Compatible Devices on the Same Loop
The TRI-R shares the same SLC with other Siemens intelligent devices. Specifically, it coexists with FP-series multi-criteria detectors, IL-series detectors, ID-60-series detectors, MSI-series addressable manual pull stations, and CZM or ICP control modules.
