Hochiki DCP-FRCME-EEPROM Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DCP-FRCME-EEPROM FAST RESPOND CONTACT
MONITORING MODULE
The information contained in this installation instruction is a quick reference guide. For detailed system
information refer to the panel manufacturers installation manual. This instruction is generic and will not address
specific programming procedures.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This instruction applies to the DCP EEPROM Fast Response Contact
Monitoring Module (FRCME) which is to be connected to a DCP
Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). Typical applications are manual pull
stations, water flow devices or any dry contact alarm device, either
N/O or N/C contacts can be monitored.

MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS:

The DCP FRCME Module has two mounting options. The
FRCME-P is shown in Fig. 2, the FRCME-4 is shown in Fig. 3. All
the modules will follow Fig. 2A & 3A for wiring connections.

WIRING:

NOTE: All wiring must conform to local codes, ordinances and
regulations.
1) Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and
appropriate wiring diagram (see Fig. 2A & 3A).
2) Secure the module to a U.L. listed electrical box (supplied by
installer) as shown in Fig. 2, 3.
3) The address must be set on the FRCME-4 before the cover plate is
attached (see Fig. 1).
CAUTION !!!
TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION CONNECT THIS
MODULE TO A COMPATIBLE
FIRE CONTROL PANEL ONLY.
REFER TO PANEL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER
CONNECTION AND
COMPATIBILITY.
Note:
R adio F requency I nterference and E lectro- M agnetic I nterference are sources
of noise that can adversely affect the fire alarm systems installation.
When installing fire alarm system devices, avoid placing devices or
wiring close to potential noise sources such as:
•
Transmitters or antennas;
•
Ballast lighting;
•
Electrical motors;
•
Large power transformers;
•
Large machines.
Avoid running SLC circuit in the same conduit as power lines. Utilize twisted
pair and shielded wire in environments where excessive noise is expected.
