Connecting a Releasing Device to FCM-1 Control Modules (Retrofit applications only)
Applications
4.6.3 Wiring
Make sure to keep total system current within the limits of the power supply. You can power the
module from the power supply of the control panel or any UL-listed 24 VDC regulated
power-limited power supply for Fire Protective Signaling. For more information, refer to the
Device Compatibility Document.
NOTE: For Releasing applications:
The APS2-6R can provide up to 6A for releasing, limited by the FCM-1-REL
The AMPS-24 can provide up to 3A for releasing, limited by the FCM-1-REL
The APS2-6RE and AMPS-24E are not suitable for releasing applications.
References to wiring diagrams for releasing applications:
•
To connect a releasing device to control module FCM-1, refer to Section 4.7.
•
To connect an NBG-12LRA Agent Release-Abort Station, refer to Section 4.9.

(Retrofit applications only)
Typical Connections
Figure 4.11 shows typical connections for wiring a releasing device to
this module. For ULC applications, REL-47K is required; see chart in Circuit Requirements below.
Circuit Requirements
When connecting releasing devices to FCM-1 control modules, note the
following:
1.
For NFPA 13 and 15 applications, disable the Soak Timer (Soak=0000); for NFPA 16
applications, set the Soak Timer (0600-0900 seconds). Refer to the NFS2-3030 Programming
Manual for instructions on setting the Soak Timer.
2.
For applications using power-limited circuits:
a) Use an End-of-Line device (P/N REL-47K) with FCM-1 modules. Connect the an
End-of-Line device as shown in Figure 4.11.
b) All wiring for releasing circuits is supervised against open and shorts.
c) Program the releasing circuit for Type Code
REL CKT ULC
.
3.
For applications not requiring power-limited circuits:
UL-listed 24 VDC

REL-47K
(Use with Type Code
Rel Ckt ULC,
or see Circuit

Note: See Circuit Requirements below.
Devices for use in releasing applications
must
be programmed as type code RELEASE CIRCUIT or REL CKT ULC.

not match the one in this
figure, refer to the SLC
manual appendix, which
contains wiring conversion
charts for type V and type
H modules.
