2- Optional Modules
2.1 Relay module ARM-44
The ARM-44 is an auxiliary relay module designed to
operate with the VFR-400 release control panels to provide
an additional 8 independent form C relay outputs in
3 different operating modes (via switch S1).
The release control panel communicates with the ARM-44
via the RS-485 and 24 VDC auxiliary power connections
from the VFR-400. Be sure to set switch SW5 of the VFR-
400 and switch S2 of the ARM-44 correctly.
The ARM-44 can be factory installed but could also be
added inside the junction box by a qualified personal.
