Addressability allows the FCM-1(A) to be acti-vated, either manually or through panel programming, on aselect (zone or area of coverage) (A) Relay Module: The FRM-1(A) addressable RelayModule provides the system with a dry-contact output for acti-vating a variety of auxiliary devices, such as fans, dampers, Control equipment, etc. Addressability allows the dry contact tobe activated, either manually or through panel programming,on a select ( Patent 5,539,389) is a communication pro-tocol developed by NOTIFIER Engineering that greatlyenhances the speed of communication between analog intelli-gent devices.

2 Intelligent devices communicate in a groupedfashion. If one of the devices within the group has new infor-mation, the panel CPU stops the group poll and concentrateson single points. The net effect is response speed greater thanfive times that of other Built-in type identification automatically identifies thesedevices to the Control panel. Internal circuitry and relay powered directly by two-wireSLC loop. The FCM-1(A) module requires power (for horns,strobes, etc.), or audio (for speakers). Integral LED blinks green each time a communication isreceived from the Control panel and turns on in steady redwhen activated. LED blink may be deselected globally (affects all devices). High noise immunity (EMF/RFI). The FCM-1(A) may be used to switch 24-volt NAC power,audio (up to Vrms). Wide viewing angle of LED. SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.

3 Direct-dial entry of address 01 159 for FlashScan loops,01 99 for CLIP mode loops. Speaker, and audible/visual applications may be wired forClass B or A (Style Y or Z).ApplicationsThe FCM-1(A) is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power,high-level audio (speakers). The FRM-1(A) may be pro-grammed to operate dry contacts for applications such as doorholders or Air Handling Unit shutdown, and to reset four-wiresmoke detector : Refer to the SLC Manual (PN 51253) for details regardingreleasing applications with the FCM-1(A). Refer to the FCM-1-RELdatasheet (DN-60390) for new FlashScan releasing applications. Construction The face plate is made of off-white heat-resistant plastic. Controls include two rotary switches for direct-dial entry ofaddress (01-159). The FCM-1(A) is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) orClass A (Style Z) Notification Appliance Circuit.

4 The FRM-1(A) provides two Form-C dry contacts thatswitch FCM-1(A) or FRM-1(A) uses one of 159 possible moduleaddresses on a SLC loop (99 on CLIP loops). It responds toregular polls from the Control panel and reports its type andstatus, including the open/normal/short status of its Notifica-tion Appliance Circuit (NAC). The LED blinks with each pollreceived. On command, it activates its internal relay. TheFCM-1(A) supervises Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z)notification or Control code command from the panel, the FCM-1(A) will dis-connect the supervision and connect the external power sup-ply in the proper polarity across the load device. Thedisconnection of the supervision provides a positive indicationto the panel that the Control relay actually turned ON. Theexternal power supply is always relay isolated from the com-munication loop so that a trouble condition on the externalpower supply will never interfere with the rest of the switches set a unique address for each module.

5 Theaddress may be set before or after mounting. The built-inTYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the module to the con-trol panel, so as to differentiate between a module and a sen-sor for FCM-1(A) Normal operating voltage: 15 to 32 current draw: mA (LED on).Average operating current: 350 A direct poll, 375 A grouppoll with LED flashing, 485 A Max.

Power to the release agent solenoid(s) runsthrough the module for full-time monitoring and FCM-1-REL Releasing Control Module uses a redun-dant protocol; the module must be armed with a pair of sig-nals in order to activate. It will then enter a 3-second windowawaiting a pair of confirmation signals.

9 If no confirmation isreceived, the module will automatically reset. It also super-vises the wiring to the connected load and reports the statusto the panel as NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. Themodule has two pairs of output termination points availablefor fault-tolerant wiring and a panel-controlled LED module may be connected to either one 24 VDC solenoidor up to two 12 VDC solenoids (in Series ). To ensure properoperation, this module shall be connected to a compatibleNotifier system Control panel only (list available from Notifier).In addition, please refer to Notifier Device Compatibility Doc-ument PN 15378 for the list of compatible solenoids. NOTE: FCM-1-REL is required for all new FlashScan-modereleasing applications with NFS2-3030 (version or higher),NFS2-640 (version or higher) and NFS-320(E)(C) ( or higher) panels. Use FCM-1 for releasing applications onNFS-640, NFS-3030, and all CLIP mode panels.
