BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation
guide. Refer to the appropriate Fire•Lite 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 ser-
vice. Disconnect the power to the control panel before installing
the modules. This system contains static sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling
any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. The
module housing should also be grounded.
NOTICE:
This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CMF-300-6 Six Supervised Control Module is intended for
use in an intelligent alarm system. Each module is intended for
switching applications involving AC or DC which require wiring
supervision. A common SLC input is used for all modules. Each
module has its own address. A pair of rotary code switches is used
to set the address of the first module from 01 to 154. The remain-
ing modules are automatically assigned to the next five higher ad-
dresses. Provisions are included for disabling a maximum of three
unused modules to release the addresses to be used elsewhere.
Each module also has panel controlled green LED indicators. The
panel can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off.
In order to synchronize strobes, horn/strobes, and speaker/
strobes, a SYNC-1 accessory card (sold separately) must be used
with the CMF-300-6. See the SYNC-1 installation manual for de-
tails on how to install.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Each module has terminals for connection to an external supply
circuit for powering devices on its NAC. Each supply must be
power limited and its voltage/current limits must be at or below
those specified. There is a short circuit protection monitor for
each module. This is provided to protect the external power sup-
ply against short circuit conditions on the NAC.
