Features:
- Adds an addressable Signaling Line Circuit to a supported fire alarm control panel.
- Carries a Class B Style 4 loop up to 12,500 feet over twisted, unshielded cable.
- Uses built-in degraded mode to increase loop survivability within the supported panel arrangement.
Honeywell NOTIFIER LCM-320 extends panel loop capacity without turning addressable devices into individual home-run circuits.
In AFP-2800 systems, the LCM-320 establishes odd-numbered loops and companion expansion modules provide the corresponding even-numbered loops.
Protocol selection, current budgeting, chassis placement, and loop wiring are resolved against the host panel before the plug-in module is commissioned.
The Honeywell NOTIFIER LCM-320 Signaling Line Circuit Loop Control Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Addressable Loop Extension
- Added circuit: The module contributes another Signaling Line Circuit to the host fire alarm panel.
- Class B reach: A Style 4 loop can extend to 12,500 feet over the specified cable.
- Cable type: The documented Class B path uses twisted, unshielded conductors.
- Multiple loops: Plug-in construction permits several loop modules within a compact panel enclosure.
Odd-and-Even Loop Arrangement
- LCM positions: AFP-2800 systems assign the LCM-320 to loops 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
- Expansion positions: Companion LEM-320 hardware supplies loops 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10.
- Protocol choice: CLIP or FlashScan operation depends on the panel and system configuration.
- Current budget: SMX+ documentation assigns 0.130 A to each LCM-320 in the panel calculation.
Survivability Within the Loop Path
- Built-in mode: The module includes degraded mode without requiring an external adapter.
- Published purpose: Honeywell identifies the degraded mode as increasing survivability.
- Panel boundary: The mode remains part of the host-panel and configured-loop arrangement.
- Fault isolation: Loop and panel diagnostics must still be read together when normal processing is interrupted.
Plug-in Hardware and Approvals
- Mechanical format: The module installs as a plug-in card in the supported panel hardware.
- Enclosure density: Multiple loops can be placed in one enclosure without separate standalone controllers.
- Approval set: Published approvals include UL/ULC, FM, CSFM, and FDNY.
- Selection check: Panel model, loop number, protocol, and current budget must agree before installation.
