Universal Input/Output Module Motherboard - 6 Position W/Riser Selection. Use For M Series Modules

SKU KD-GSA-UIO6R

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The GSA-UIO6R gives a Signature Series cabinet mounting and wiring terminations for up to six plug-in UIO modules, so a bank of GSA-M series modules can be installed and serviced from a single motherboard instead of six separate standard-mount boxes.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Modules plug in and lock down with captive screws, and all field wiring lands on the motherboard's terminal blocks, so a module can be pulled and swapped for troubleshooting without disturbing the field wiring. Riser #1 input can be jumpered between adjacent modules to share a single riser and cut wiring, while riser #2 stays dedicated to each module position. Slides into the included mounting track inside an MFC-A cabinet or other suitable enclosure.

Key features

  • Six module positions on one motherboard, replacing six individual standard-mount boxes
  • Two riser buses per module position, with jumperable riser #1 to reduce wiring
  • Captive-screw module retention for fast swaps during troubleshooting
  • No address required on the motherboard itself; addressing lives on the plugged-in modules
  • Supports automatic device mapping for as-built documentation

System requirements

Compatible only with GSA-M series plug-in modules and a Kidde Signature Data Controller. Mounts inside an MFC-A cabinet or other suitable enclosure; allow 1" clearance on all sides.
