INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND WIRING FOR
CONTROL MODULE
P/N 8706
The 8706 Control Module interfaces polarity reversal
type of notification appliances to an Addressable
Device Circuit of a compatible Faraday Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
The 8706 supports Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class
A) Notification Appliance Circuit wiring. Each mod-
ule uses one address on the Addressable Device
Circuit. It does not require any mechanical address
programming. Use the 8720 Programmer/Tester to
program and test the module. Up to sixty 8706s can
connect to each Addressable Device Circuit. These
modules must be connected to the first 60 addresses
on the Addressable Device Circuit.
The power input for each 8706 comes from an
auxiliary power supply or NAC on the MPC panels
which must be power limited and UL listed for fire
protective signaling use. The 8706 maximum current
is 1.5A at 24 VDC.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
1. To prevent damage to the device
programmer or the module, disconnect wire
from terminals 1 and 2 on TB1 of the 8706
before connecting to the 8720.
2. Only one device may be connected to the
8720 at a time.
1.
Plug the programming cable of the Faraday
8720 Programmer/Tester into the two-pin
receptacle on the module. (See wiring diagram
for location.)

2.
Set the system address for the module by
following the instructions in the 8720
Programmer/Tester Manual, P/N 315-033260FA.
3.
If the 8720 has been configured for label printing,
apply the label on or near the module in a
location in which it will be clearly visible. For
information on printing labels, see the User
Instructions for the 8720 Device Programmer,
P/N 315-033260FA. The module can now be
installed and wired to the system.
