Wiring
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and
regulations.
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropri-
ate wiring diagrams.
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer), as shown in
Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: When using the FCM-1-REL for Class B applications, remove
Jumper (J1) and discard. The Jumper is located on the back as shown in
Figure 1B.

FCM-1-rel releasing Control Module
BeFore installing
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to
the control panel installation manual for detailed system information. If the
modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the opera-
tor and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service. Dis-
connect power to the control panel before installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
general desCription
FCM-1-REL Releasing Control Modules are intended for use in intelligent, two-
wire systems, where the individual address of each module is selected using
the built-in rotary switches. This module is used to switch an external power
supply, which can be a DC power supply to a solenoid. It also supervises the
wiring to the connected load and reports the status to the panel as NORMAL,
OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. The FCM-1-REL has two pairs of output termination
points available for fault-tolerant wiring and a panel-controlled LED indicator.
CoMpatiBility requireMents
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
Notifier system control panels only (list available from Notifier). In addition,
please refer to Notifier Device Compatibility document number 15378 for the
list of compatible solenoids.
Mounting
The FCM-1-REL mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes (see Figure
2). The box must have a minimum depth of 2
1
/
8
inches. Surface mounted elec-
trical boxes (SMB500) are available (for indoor dry applications only).
