Pittway NOTIFIER FCM Series Quick Start Manual

Control Module provides the NOTIFIER AFC-600 control
panel for a circuit of Notification Appliances (horns, strobes,
speakers, etc.) or to monitor a telephone circuit.
Addressability allows the FCM to be activated, either manu-
ally or through panel programming, on a select (zone or
area of coverage) basis.
lay Module provides the AFC-600 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.
(patent pending) is a new communication
protocol developed by NOTIFIER Engineering that greatly
enhances the speed of communication between analog in-
telligent 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 re-
sponse speed greater than five times that of other de-
signs.
• 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).
• Built-in PS monitor replaces end-of-line relay (FCM 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 V ) or telephone.
RMS
• Wide viewing angle of LED.
• SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.
• Direct-dial entry of address (01-159).
• Speaker, audible/visual, and telephone applications may
be wired for Class B or A (Style Y or Z).

FCM-1 Module
(See wiring diagram Fig. 5 for FRM-1)
The FCM is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power,
high-level audio (speakers), or control telephone devices.
The FRM may be programmed to operate dry contacts for
door holders, Air Handling Unit shutdown, etc., and to re-
set four-wire smoke detector power.
• 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 ad-
dresses 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
