Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the FRM-1 Relay Control Module, refer to the appropriate Notifier control panel installation manual for detailed system information.
2. If the modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service.
3. Disconnect power to the control panel before installing the modules.
4. Mounting:
   • The FRM-1 mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes or the DNR(W) duct housing.
   • The electrical box must have a minimum depth of 21/8 inches.
   • Surface mounted electrical boxes (SMB500) are available from Notifier.
   • Follow Figure 2A for module mounting without a barrier.
   • Follow Figure 2B for module mounting with a barrier.
5. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams.
6. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
7. Secure the module to the electrical box using the supplied clamping plate.
8. Ensure that the wire is stripped to the appropriate length (recommended strip length is 1/4 to 3/8).
9. Secure the exposed conductor under the clamping plate and make sure it does not protrude beyond the terminal block area.
10. Caution: Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to provide supervision of connections.
11. Warning: All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open) state, but may have transferred to the activated (closed) state during shipping. To ensure that the switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to communicate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
12. Follow Figure 3 for relay module wiring diagram.
13. Connect modules to listed compatible control panels only.
14. Ensure that the signal line circuit (SLC) does not exceed a maximum of 32 VDC. Twisted pair wiring is recommended.
15. The module does not supervise controlled circuits.

BEFORE INSTALLING

This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to the appropriate Notifier control panel installation manual for detailed system information. If the modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service. Disconnect power to the control panel before installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The FRM-1 Relay Control Module is intended for use in intelligent, two-wire systems where the individual address of each module is selected using the built-in rotary switches. It allows a compatible control panel to switch discrete contacts by code command. The relay contains two isolated sets of Form-C contacts, which operate as a DPDT switch and are rated in accordance with the table in the manual. Circuit connections to the relay contacts are not supervised by the module. The module also has a panel controlled LED indicator.
This module can be used to replace a CMX-2 module that has been configured for Form-C operation.

COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible Notifier system control panel (list available from Notifier).

MOUNTING

The FRM-1 mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes (see Figure 2A).
The box must have a minimum depth of 21/8 inches. Surface mounted electrical boxes (SMB500) are available from Notifier. The module can also mount to the DNR(W) duct housing.

WIRING

NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
When using control modules in nonpower limited applications, the CB500 Module Barrier must be used to meet UL requirements for the separation of power- limited and nonpower-limited terminals and wiring. The barrier must be inserted into a 4˝ × 4˝ × 21/8˝ junction box, and the control module must be placed into the barrier and attached to the junction box (Figure 2A).
The power-limited wiring must be placed into the isolated quadrant of the module barrier (Figure 2B).

1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams.
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer), see Figure 2A.

Wire should be stripped to the appropriate length (recommended strip length is 1/4“ to 3/8”). Exposed conductor should be secured under the clamping plate and should not protrude beyond the terminal block area. Caution: Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to provide supervision of connections.

WARNING

All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open) state, but may have transferred to the activated (closed) state during shipping. To ensure that the switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to communicate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.

MODULE DOES NOT SUPERVISE CONTROLLED CIRCUITS

NOTE : ANY FAULT IN THE POWER SUPPLY IS LIMITED TO THAT ZONE AND DOES NOT RESULT IN A FAULT IN A SEPARATE ZONE.
