How to Use the Assembly/Model
Application
The 12578-002 Monitored Input Module (MIM) is used in SmartSeries ADVANCE systems.
GAI-Tronics uses the MIM to receive inputs from field devices, monitor the integrity of eight input lines
for trouble conditions or contact activation, and report these conditions to the 69254 Series or
69440 Series Master Control Unit (MCU). The MIM is comprised of two components: the 69248-xxx
Central Processing Unit (CPU) printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and the 69251-xxx Monitored-
In-8 PCBA.
The MIM is designed to be mounted in a Snaptrack that is then installed in an equipment rack. Snaptrack
is a grooved plastic channel that is designed to allow PCBAs to securely ‘snap’ into the groove. The
Snaptrack provides flexible installation because the track may be installed inside a rack wherever it is
convenient.
The module communicates with the MCU via the 69248-xxx CPU PCBA over an RS-485 link. The CPU
PCBA interprets and reports the status of the inputs. The MIM is capable of monitoring up to eight
inputs.
