The Siemens HTRI-D Dual Input Interface Module P/N: 500-033360 is an intelligent addressable interface device designed for compatible Siemens fire alarm systems. It provides two independently monitored dry-contact inputs, allowing two initiating or supervisory devices to connect to the addressable device loop through a single module.
The HTRI-D incorporates onboard microprocessor technology and bi-directional communication with the fire alarm control panel. Both inputs share a single module address while maintaining independent input response.

- Designed for compatible Siemens fire alarm systems
Dual Input Operation
The HTRI-D provides two independently monitored inputs:
Input 1
Input 2
Each input can monitor a separate dry-contact device while the HTRI-D communicates both conditions to the compatible Siemens fire alarm control panel.
This allows two related initiating or supervisory devices to be monitored using a single interface module.
Single Address Operation
A key feature of the HTRI-D is that both monitored inputs operate through:
One device address
Even though the module occupies a single address, the two inputs can respond independently.
This reduces address usage compared with dual-input devices requiring a separate loop address for each monitored circuit.
Dry Contact Monitoring
The HTRI-D is designed to interface direct-shorting dry-contact devices with the addressable fire alarm loop.
Typical connected equipment can include:
- Waterflow switches
- Valve supervisory switches
- Pressure switches
- Conventional initiating devices
- Equipment status contacts
- Other compatible dry-contact devices
A common application is monitoring a waterflow switch and its associated valve supervisory switch with one HTRI-D.
Intelligent Communication
The HTRI-D contains an onboard microcomputer that provides intelligent, bi-directional communication with compatible Siemens fire alarm equipment.
The module supervises its connected circuits and reports status changes to the control panel, allowing the system to apply the programmed alarm, supervisory, or other response.
Polarity-Insensitive Operation
The HTRI-D uses Siemens SureWire technology for polarity-insensitive loop connections.
This two-wire architecture simplifies field wiring by reducing polarity-related installation issues at the module.
Unlike the newer XTRI-D, the HTRI-D does not incorporate dual built-in Class X isolators.
Electronic Address Programming
The HTRI-D uses electronic addressing rather than mechanical rotary or DIP switches.
Address programming is performed using compatible Siemens programming equipment such as the:
DPU — Device Programming Unit
The programmed address is stored electronically within the module.
Multi-Color LED
The HTRI-D incorporates a multi-color status LED.
Available indication colors include:
Green
Amber
Red
The LED provides local visual indication of module communication and monitored input conditions according to the connected Siemens system.
HTRI-D vs. XTRI-D
The HTRI-D is the earlier-generation Siemens dual-input interface module.
HTRI-D: Dual input, single address, polarity-insensitive operation
XTRI-D: Newer dual-input interface with integrated dual isolators
The XTRI-D is commonly identified as the successor to the HTRI-D. Compatibility with the existing control panel and device loop should be confirmed before substitution.
