NOTIFIER FRM-1 Addressable Relay WITH FLASHSCAN
— The FRM-1 Addressable Relay Module provides the system with a dry-contact output for activating a variety of auxiliary devices, such as fans, dampers, control equipment, etc. Addressability allows the dry contact to be activated, either manually or through panel programming, on a select basis. FlashScan® (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a new communication
protocol developed by NOTIFIER Engineering that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Intelligent devices communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within the group has new information, the panel CPU stops the group poll and concentrates on single points. The net effect is response speed greater than five times that of other designs.
• Built-in type identification automatically identifies these devices to the control panel.
• Internal circuitry and relay powered directly by two-wire SLC loop. The FCM module requires power (for horns, strobes,
etc.), audio (for speakers), or a telephone riser (for handsets). Internal relay feature available on FlashScan® systems only.
• Integral LED “blinks†green each time a communication is received from the control panel and turns on in steady red when activated.
• LED blink may be deselected globally (affects all devices).
• High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).
• The FCM may be used to switch 24-volt NAC power, audio (up to 70.7 VRMS) or telephone.
• SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.
• Direct-dial entry of address 01– 159 for FlashScan®, 01 – 99 on traditional systems.
• Speaker, audible/visual, and telephone applications may be wired for Class B or A (Style Y or Z).
The FCM is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power, high-level audio (speakers), or control telephone devices. The
FCM and FRM Series Control and Relay Modules with FlashScan® April 5, 2004 DN-6724 • H-230 Section: Intelligent/Addressable Devices FlashScan® is a registered trademark of NOTIFIER. Noryl® is a registered trademark of GE Plastics, a subsidiary of General Electric Company.
• The face plate is made of off-white Noryl®.
• Controls include two rotary switches for direct-dial entry of address (01-159).
• The FCM is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) Notification Appliance Circuit.
• The FRM provides two Form-C dry contacts that switch together.
Each FCM or FRM uses one of 159 possible module addresses on a SLC loop. It responds to regular polls from the control panel and reports its type and status, including the open/normal/short status of its Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). The LED blinks with each poll received. On command, it activates its internal relay. The FCM supervises Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) notification or control circuits. Upon code command from the panel, the FCM will disconnect the supervision and connect the external power supply in the proper polarity across the load device. The disconnection of the supervision provides a positive indication to the panel that the control relay actually turned ON. The external power supply is always relay isolated from the communication loop so that a trouble condition on the external power supply will never interfere with the rest of the system.
Rotary switches set a unique address for each module. The address may be set before or after mounting. The built-in TYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the module to the control panel, so as to differentiate between a module and a sensor address.
