1 DN-6724 04/05/04 Page 1 of 4 FCM-1 module (See wiring diagram Fig. 5 for FRM-1)GENERALFCM-1 control module The FCM-1 AddressableControl module provides NOTIFIER intelligent control pan-els a circuit for Notification Appliances (horns, strobes, speak-ers, etc.) or to monitor a telephone circuit. Addressability al-lows the FCM to be activated, either manually or throughpanel programming, on a select (zone or area of coverage) Relay module The FRM-1 Addressable Re-lay module provides the system with a dry-contact output foractivating a variety of auxiliary devices, such as fans, damp-ers, control equipment, etc. Addressability allows the drycontact to be activated, either manually or through panelprogramming, on a select ( Patent 5,539,389) is a new communi-cation protocol developed by NOTIFIER Engineering thatgreatly enhances the speed of communication between ana-log intelligent devices.

2 Intelligent devices communicate in agrouped fashion. If one of the devices within the group hasnew information, the panel CPU stops the group poll andconcentrates on single points. The net effect is responsespeed greater than five times that of other Built-in type identification automatically identifies thesedevices to the control panel. Internal circuitry and relay powered directly by two-wire SLCloop. The FCM module requires power (for horns, strobes,etc.), audio (for speakers), or a telephone riser (for hand-sets). Internal relay feature available on FlashScan sys-tems only. 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).

3 High noise immunity (EMF/RFI). The FCM may be used to switch 24-volt NAC power, au-dio (up to VRMS) or telephone. Wide viewing angle of LED. SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease. Direct-dial entry of address 01 159 for FlashScan , 01 99 on traditional systems. Speaker, audible/visual, and telephone applications maybe wired for Class B or A (Style Y or Z).APPLICATIONSThe FCM is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power,high-level audio (speakers), or control telephone devices.

The FCM is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) orClass A (Style Z) Notification Appliance Circuit. The FRM provides two Form-C dry contacts that FCM or FRM uses one of 159 possible module ad-dresses on a SLC loop. It responds to regular polls from thecontrol panel and reports its type and status, including theopen/normal/short status of its Notification Appliance CircuitS3705CS6697300-0028:202 CaliforniaState FireMarshalPermit #2020 MARYLANDS tate Fire MarshalMEA457-99-EThis document is not intended to be used for installation purposes.

6 On command,it activates its internal relay. The FCM supervises Class B(Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) notification or control code command from the panel, the FCM will discon-nect the supervision and connect the external power supplyin the proper polarity across the load device. The disconnec-tion of the supervision provides a positive indication to thepanel that the control relay actually turned ON. The externalpower supply is always relay isolated from the communica-tion loop so that a trouble condition on the external powersupply will never interfere with the rest of the switches set a unique address for each module . Theaddress may be set before or after mounting.
