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-RELA 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 super-
vises the wiring to the connected load and reports the status to the panel as
NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. The FCM-1-RELA has two pairs of
output termination points available for fault-tolerant wiring and a panel-con-
trolled 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-RELA mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes (see Fig-
ure 2). The box must have a minimum depth of 2
electrical boxes (SMB500) are available (for indoor dry applications only).

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 Fig-
ure 2.
IMPORTANT: When using the FCM-1-RELA for Class B applications, remove
Jumper (J1) and discard. The Jumper is located on the back as shown in
Figure 1B.
