Annunciator Control Systems
General
The ACM-8R is a module in the Notifier ACS class of annunciators.
It provides a mappable relay output module for NFS(2)-3030, NFS(2)-640, and
NFS-320 Fire Alarm Control Panels, and for NCA-2 Network Control Annunciators.
Features
- Provides eight Form-C relays with 5 A contacts.
- The relays can be employed to track a variety of devices and panel points, in a grouped fashion.
- Removable terminal blocks for ease of installation and service.
- DIP switch selectable memory mapping of relays.
NOTE: The ACM-8R can also be used with legacy panels. Please refer to the
ACM-8R manual (PN 15342).
Mounting
The ACM-8R module will mount to CHS-4 chassis, a CHS-4L low-profile chassis
(assumes one of four positions on the chassis), or CHS-4MB; or for remote
applications, to an ABS8RB Annunciator Surface-mount backbox with blank
faceplate.
Limits
The ACM-8R is a member of the Notifier ACS class of annunciators. Up to 32
annunciators (not including expander modules) may be installed on an EIA-485
circuit.
Wire Runs
Communication between the control panel and the ACM-8R is accomplished over a
two-wire EIA-485 serial interface. This communication, to include the wiring,
is supervised by the fire alarm control panel. Power for the annunciators is
provided via a separate power loop from the control panel, which is inherently
supervised (loss of power also results in a communication failure at the
control panel).
Relay Mapping
The ACM-8R’s relays can follow the status of initiating and indicating
circuits, control relays, and several system control functions.
GROUPED TRACKING
The ACM-8R can track a variety of input, output, panel functions, and
addressable devices in a grouped fashion:
- CPU status
- Soft zones
- Special hazard zones.
- Addressable circuits
- Power supply NACs.
- Selectable points (NFS2-640 and NFS-320 only) when tracking “special” annunciator points.

Relay Terminal Assignments
The ACM-8R provides eight relays with Form “C” contacts rated for 5 A. The terminal assignments are illustrated below.
NOTE: Circuits can be annunciated as alarm, or alarm and trouble. Alarm and trouble consumes two annunciator points.
