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 per 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 2). The box must have a minimum depth of 21/8 inches (54 mm). Surface-mounted electrical boxes (SMB500-WH) 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.
- Install module wiring under the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams.
- Set the address on the module per job drawings.
- Secure module to the electrical box (supplied by installer). See Figure 2.
The wire should be stripped to the appropriate length (recommended strip length is 1/4″ to 3/8″) (6 mm to 10 mm). The 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.
- NOTE: Dispose of electronic waste following national and/or local regulations.
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.

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).
- Install module wiring following the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams.
- Set the address on the module per job drawings.
- Secure the module to the electrical box (supplied by the installer), see Figure 2A.
The wire should be stripped to the appropriate length (recommended strip length is 1/4″ to 3/8″). The 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.
