General Description
The RRS-MOD polarity reversing relay/synchronization
module is intended for use with 2-wire and 4-wire i3 se-
ries detectors equipped with a built-in sounder, models
2WTA-B, 4WTA-B, 4WTAR-B, and 4WITAR-B. It is designed
to allow all the detectors in the same loop to sound when
one of the detectors goes into alarm, and to synchronize
their audible output. The RRS-MOD also allows the silenc-
ing of the detector sounders from the alarm control panel.
The RRS-MOD may be used with an alarm zone that pro-
vides coded output for fire and continuous output for
burglary. By default the RRS-MOD’s switch is set to “off”.
Therefore, the RRS-MOD will only trigger when the alarm
output is coded. In this manner, smoke detectors will only
sound from the result of a fire, and not from a burglary
alarm. In this mode, the detectors will provide a synchro-
nized, coded output.
The RRS-MOD can also be set to only trigger on continu-
ous alarm zone signals by selecting the switch to “on”.
In this mode, the detectors will provide a synchronized,
coded output.

This manual shall be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
Installation
Choose a mounting location in the control panel within
reach of the provided wire leads. Use a water/isopropyl
alcohol mixture (50/50) to clean the mounting surface.
Allow surface to dry and remove paper backing from the
Velcro and catch. Stick the Velcro in the panel and the catch
on the back of the module, then mount the module inside
the control panel. Route terminals to the appropriate termi-
nals as noted below.
WARNING
When calculating total current draw of the control panel,
remember to add current consumption (25mA) for the po-
larity reversal relay module (RRS-MOD). IMPORTANT: If
the fire alarm output signal is coded, set the switch on the
RRS-MOD to “OFF”. If the fire alarm output signal is con-
tinuous, set the switch to “ON”.
Wiring
IMPORTANT: All polarities must be observed!
1. Connect the RRS-MOD module trigger wire to the fire
alarm output terminals.
A. Alarm/Bell output: (Figures 1 and 2)
Connect the purple wire to the Alarm or Bell output.
B. Alarm relay, normally open contact: (Figures 3 and 4)
1.
Connect one end of the alarm relay contact out-
put to positive auxiliary or detector power fire
alarm output.
2.
Connect the purple wire to the other end of the
alarm relay contact output.
2. Connect the red and black wires to the panel auxiliary or
detector power (red to positive, black to negative).
3.
2-wire models
Connect the yellow and orange wires to the panel initiat-
ing circuit (yellow to positive, orange to negative).
4-wire models
Connect the yellow and orange wires to the panel detec-
tor power circuit (yellow to positive, orange to negative).
4.
2-wire models
Connect the brown and white wires to the smoke de-
tector power supply input (brown to positive, white
to negative).
4-wire models
Connect the brown and white wires to the smoke detec-
tor power circuit (brown to positive, white to negative).
NOTE:
In an alarm condition, a wiring-fault
trouble state may also register at the panel
when the RRS-MOD is used.
