General
The FCM-1 Addressable Control Module
provides Notier intelligent re alarm
control panels a circuit for Notication
Appliances (horns, strobes, speakers, etc.)
Addressability allows the FCM-1 to be
activated, either manually or through panel
programming, on a select (zone or area of
coverage) basis.
Features
• Built-in type identication automatically
identies these devices to the control
panel.
• Internal circuitry and relay powered
directly by two-wire SLC loop. The FCM-1
module requires power (for horns,
strobes, etc.), or audio (for speakers).
• Integral LED “blinks” green each time a
communication is received from the
control panel and turns on in steady red
when activated.
• LED blink may be deselected globally
(aects all devices).
• High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).
• The FCM-1 may be used to switch
24-volt NAC power, audio (up to 70.7
Vrms).
• Wide viewing angle of LED.
• Direct-dial entry of address 01– 159 for
FlashScan loops, 01 – 99 for CLIP mode
loops.
•
Compatible with FlashScan® and CLIP
protocol systems
Applications
The FCM-1 is used to switch 24 VDC
audible/visual power or high-level audio
(speakers).
Operation
Each FCM-1 uses one of 159 possible
module addresses on a SLC loop (99 on
CLIP loops). It responds to regular polls
from the control panel and reports its type
and status, including the
open/normal/short status of its
Notication Appliance Circuit (NAC). The
LED blinks with each poll received. On
command, it activates its internal relay. The
FCM-1 supervises notication or control
circuits.
Upon code command from the panel, the
FCM-1 will disconnect the supervision and
connect the external power supply in the
proper polarity across the load device. The
disconnection of the supervision provides
a positive indication to the panel that the
control relay actually turned ON. The
external power supply is always relay
isolated from the communication loop so
that a trouble condition on the external
power supply will never interfere with the
rest of the system.
Rotary switches set a unique address for
each module. The address may be set
before or after mounting. The built-in
TYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the
module to the control panel, so as to
dierentiate between a module and a
sensor address.
