All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby (open) state, but may have transferred to the activated (closed) state during shipping. To ensure that the
switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to communicate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
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
The M500RAP Relay Control Module is intended for use in intelligent, two-
wire systems, where the individual address of each module is selected using
the built-in rotary decade switches. It allows a compatible control panel to
switch discrete contacts by code command. The relay contains two isolated
sets of Form-C contacts, which operate as a DPDT switch and are rated in
accordance with the table in the manual. Circuit connections to the relay con-
tacts are not supervised by the module. The module also has a panel con-
trolled LED indicator.

WARNING
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, these modules shall be connected to listed com-
patible system control panels only.
MOUNTING
The M500RAP mounts directly to 4˝ square electrical boxes (see Figure 2A).
The box must have a minimum depth of 2
boxes (SMB500-WH) are available from System Sensor.
WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and reg-
ulations. When using control modules in nonpower limited applications, the
System Sensor CB500 Module Barrier must be used to meet UL requirements
for the separation of power-limited and nonpower-limited terminals and wir-
ing. The barrier must be inserted into a 4˝x4˝x2
control module must be placed into the barrier and attached to the junction
box (Figure 2A). The power-limited wiring must be placed into the isolated
quadrant of the module barrier (Figure 2B).
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
Figure 2A.
