At a glance
- Single output for DC switchingA single-pole changeover relay provides NC, COM and NO contacts on one loop address for DC switching up to 5A at 30V DC into a resistive load. The module has no input.
- Output only, with no inputThere are no input, zone or confirmation terminals on this module, so it cannot read a contact or monitor the equipment it operates. It takes one address, reports its device type to the panel on poll, and switches its contacts. Where the loop also has to take a signal in, the single input S4-34410 does that job alongside it; where the system has to confirm that the equipment actually operated, the S4-34420 pairs a confirmation input with its own relay output.
- Self-contained metal box formatThe interface PCB and its cover come assembled inside a dark grey metal box measuring 202 x 125 x 50mm and weighing 800g, with cable termination points on the enclosure. The metal lid and four lid screws are supplied. The S4-34411 supplies the same electronics as a 138g DIN rail module for DIN rail mounting inside equipment.
- External fuse required on the outputProtect the output with an external fuse whose type and current rating suit the connected load. Use suitably rated cable for the output circuit.
- Cable separation, glands and drain wireOutput circuit cables should be kept as physically separate from the loop circuit cable as the installation allows. Cable glands must meet UL94V-1 or better for flammability rating, and the drain wire should be no more than 50mm long and sleeved, green and yellow for AC applications and green for DC. The loop cable screen is carried through each interface module.
- Loop powered, for Vigilon and 34000 panelsIt takes its power, its communications and one of the 200 available device addresses from the loop, includes a loop isolator for device isolation, and supports soft or SAFE addressing with built-in type identification. Loop operating voltage is 35V to 48V. Panels must be Vigilon or 34000 with the loop card at V4.33 or V3.92 or later and the main control card at V4.31 or V3.90 or later, and the module is set up in the Gent Commissioning Tool.
Description
The Gent S4-34415 is the single output low voltage interface for Vigilon and 34000 fire alarm systems, supplied as the covered interface PCB in a small dark grey metal box, complete with its lid and four lid screws. The box carries the cable termination points on the enclosure, so the unit arrives ready to mount and wire with no separate enclosure to order. Its relay gives one set of single pole changeover contacts, NC, COM and NO, for DC switching, rated 5A at 30V DC maximum into a resistive load. There is no input of any kind. It takes its power and its address from the loop and includes a loop isolator.
The S4-34415 is an output-only interface for DC switching. Its relay provides single-pole changeover contacts, NC, COM and NO, rated up to 5A at 30V DC into a resistive load. The relay contacts also have a 12A at 230V AC, 50Hz rating; the module's switching application is DC. For mains switching, the S4-34401 provides one output and the S4-34404 provides four.

The S4-34415 is an output-only interface for DC switching. Its relay provides single-pole changeover contacts, NC, COM and NO, rated up to 5A at 30V DC into a resistive load. The relay contacts also have a 12A at 230V AC, 50Hz rating; the module's switching application is DC. For mains switching, the S4-34401 provides one output and the S4-34404 provides four.
There is no switch input, zone input or confirmation input. The module switches external equipment without monitoring its response. The S4-34410 provides a separate monitored input where a contact needs to be read, while the S4-34420 combines one input with its own changeover relay. The S4-34411 and S4-34415 use the same single-output electronics in different mounting formats.
Protect the output with an external fuse of the type and current rating required by the connected load. Use suitably rated output cable and keep it as far from the loop cable as the installation allows. Cable glands must meet UL94V-1 or better, and drain wires must be no longer than 50mm and sleeved. Continue the loop cable screen through each interface. Terminals accept 2.5mm² conductors.
The S4-34411 and S4-34415 are loop powered, include loop isolators and each use one of the 200 available device addresses. They report their device type when polled by the panel and support soft or SAFE addressing. Their loop operating voltage is 35V to 48V. Vigilon and 34000 systems need loop card V4.33 or later with main control card V4.31 or later, or loop card V3.92 or later with main control card V3.90 or later. Configuration uses the Gent Commissioning Tool.
The S4-34415 comes assembled with its PCB cover inside a dark grey metal box, complete with its lid and four lid screws. It measures 202 x 125 x 50mm and weighs 800g, with cable termination points on the enclosure. The DIN rail mountable S4-34411 measures 125 x 75 x 48mm and weighs 138g for mounting on a DIN rail inside other equipment. That rail must connect electrically to the loop cable screen. Both formats operate from -5°C to +40°C, with storage from -30°C to +70°C and up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity at +5°C to +40°C.

FAQs
What does the S4-34415 switch?
The S4-34415 switches DC loads up to 5A at 30V DC into a resistive load. Its relay provides single-pole changeover contacts, NC, COM and NO. The contacts also carry a 12A at 230V AC, 50Hz rating, while the module's switching application is DC. The output needs a suitable external fuse. There is no switch, zone or confirmation input, so the module can operate external equipment but cannot monitor that equipment's response through an input of its own.
Can the S4-34415 be used for mains switching?
The S4-34415 is for DC switching up to 5A at 30V DC into a resistive load. For mains switching, the S4-34401 provides one output and the S4-34404 provides four. The S4-34415 relay offers NC, COM and NO contacts but the module has no input for monitoring external equipment. It takes its operating power from the Vigilon or 34000 loop, includes loop isolation and requires an external fuse suitable for the connected output load.
Does an enclosure have to be ordered with the S4-34415?
No. The S4-34415 comes assembled with the covered PCB inside a dark grey metal box, complete with its lid and four lid screws. The unit measures 202 x 125 x 50mm and weighs 800g, with cable termination points on the enclosure. It takes its operating power from the device loop. The S4-34411 supplies the same single-output electronics as a 138g DIN rail module for mounting on a DIN rail inside other equipment. The S4-34415 output still requires an external fuse appropriate to the connected load.
Does the S4-34415 protect the circuit it switches?
The output requires an external fuse; its type and current rating must suit the connected load. Use suitably rated cable for the output circuit and keep it as far from the loop cable as the installation allows. Cable glands must meet UL94V-1 or better. Drain wires must be no longer than 50mm and sleeved, and the loop cable screen must continue through the interface. The module's terminals accept 2.5mm² conductors, and its relay switches DC resistive loads up to 5A at 30V DC.
What are the S4-34415 environmental limits?
The S4-34411 and S4-34415 operate from -5°C to +40°C, with storage from -30°C to +70°C. Relative humidity can be up to 95% at +5°C to +40°C, non-condensing. The S4-34415 includes a dark grey metal enclosure containing the PCB and its fitted cover, measuring 202 x 125 x 50mm and weighing 800g. Cable termination points are provided on the enclosure. The S4-34411 has the same electronics as a DIN rail module for mounting on a DIN rail inside other equipment.
