Fire-lite Cmf-300-6 User manual

BEFORE INSTALLING

This information is included as a quick reference installation

guide. Refer to the appropriate Fire•Lite control panel installation

manual for detailed system information. If the modules will be

installed in an existing operational system, inform the operator

and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of ser-

vice. Disconnect the power to the control panel before installing

the modules. This system contains static sensitive components.

Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling

any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. The

module housing should also be grounded.

NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CMF-300-6 Six Supervised Control Module is intended for

use in an intelligent alarm system. Each module is intended for

switching applications involving AC or DC which require wiring

supervision. A common SLC input is used for all modules. Each

module has its own address. A pair of rotary code switches is used

to set the address of the first module from 01 to 154. The remain-

ing modules are automatically assigned to the next five higher ad-

dresses. Provisions are included for disabling a maximum of three

unused modules to release the addresses to be used elsewhere.

Each module also has panel controlled green LED indicators. The

panel can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off.

In order to synchronize strobes, horn/strobes, and speaker/

strobes, a SYNC-1 accessory card (sold separately) must be used

with the CMF-300-6. See the SYNC-1 installation manual for de-

tails on how to install.

tus indicators are visible.

Cabinets

A BB-6 cabinet will house the CH-6 chassis with up to six CMF-

300-6 modules installed on it. Refer to cabinet installation docu-

ments for dimensions and installation instructions.

The BB-2 cabinet houses one or two CMF-300-6 modules on the

internal chassis that is part of the cabinet. Refer to cabinet instal-

lation documents for dimensions and installation instructions.

INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Cabinet Mounting

In a clean, dry area, mount the backbox using the four holes

provided in the back surface of the cabinet (Figure 3).

2. Chassis Installation

The CH-6 chassis is mounted in the BB-6 cabinet. It is shipped

F300-21-00 2 I56-1874-011

and B operation, DO NOT set the lowest address above 154, as the

other modules will be assigned to nonexistent addresses.

NOTE: Some panels support extended addressing. In order to set

the module above address 99 on compatible systems, carefully

remove the stop on the upper rotary switch (see Figure 7). If the

panel does not support extended addressing, do not set the lowest

address above 94.

4. A shunt is provided to disable a maximum of three unused

modules (see Figure 8). Modules are disabled from the highest

address and work downward. If two modules are disabled, the

lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two

will be disabled. For example, if the shunt for Address Disable

is placed on “two” and the base address switch is set to 28,

the modules will be assigned to 28, 29, 30 and 31, disabling

the highest two positions.

NOTE: In Class A operation, placing the small shunt on “disable

3˝ will disable all three addresses. Placing the small shunt on “dis-

able 2˝ will disable two out of the three addresses. For example,

if the address switch is set to 28 and the small shunt is placed on

“disable 2˝, addresses 30 and 32 will be disabled while address

28 will be enabled.

5. There is a short circuit protection option for each address. The

board is shipped with short circuit protection disabled for each

address represented by six large shunts on the “Disable Short

Circuit Protection” area. To enable short circuit protection for

an address, remove the corresponding pins from the “Disable

Short Circuit Protection” area. When enabled, the module will

not switch power supply if a short circuit condition exists on a

notification appliance circuit.

NOTE: Power must not be applied to the unit when changing

functionality of the shunts.

NOTE: Place unused shunts on single pin to store on board for

future use.

NOTE: The power supply monitoring

feature is currently not supported.

NOTE: SLC wiring is the top terminal

block, notification appliance/power

supply is the bottom.

NOTE: Whether in Class B or Class

A wiring, power supply monitoring

and short circuit protection must be

enabled on the NAC circuits that are sharing a power supply.

NOTE: Short circuit protection can only be disabled if a power

supply is not being shared by multiple NACs.

(31.75mm) standoffs installed on the rear module.

Step 3: Align two 4-40 screws with the two standoffs and tighten.

Step 4: Address and wire the modules according to the

instructions in this manual.

WIRING

NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordi-

nances, and regulations.

1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and

appropriate wiring diagrams.

2. All wiring to the CMF-300-6 is done via terminal blocks. In

order to properly make electrical connections strip approxi-

mately 1/4˝ of insulation from the end of wire, sliding the bare

end of the wire under the clamping plate screw.

3. Set the address on the modules per the job drawing. Use the

rotary code switches to set the address of the first module (be-

tween 01 and 154).

In Class B operation, the remaining modules are automatically

assigned to the next five higher addresses. For example, if the

base address switch is set to 28, the next five modules will be

addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33.

In Class A operation, a maximum of three Class A circuits are avail-

able. For example, if the base address switch is set to 28, 30 and 32

will be automatically assigned to the modules while 29, 31 and 33

are available to be used for other modules on the SLC. For Class A

All power supplies, external to the cabinet (in which the CMF-

300-6 is housed), should be connected to T0–T5 which are suit-

able connectors for field wiring. The 1 x 4 terminal blocks, shown

on page 1, should be used to make these connections.

All NACs can be wired to be powered by separate external sup-

plies (figures 9 and 11 are typical), or a single supply (figures 10

and 12 are typical) can be shared among multiple NACs. If a sup-

ply is to be shared, between NACs wired to a common PCB, use

the short power supply jumpers shown on page 1. The jumpers

can be used on T11–T15. Refer to Table 4 for jumper functions.

When multiple (2 or more) NAC circuits share a power supply,

the wiring for the power supply must be in conduit and 20 feet

or less from the CMF-300-6 Module.

TABLE 4:

JUMPER LOCATION NAC PAIR SHARING SUPPLY

T11* +0 and +1

T12 +1 and +2

T13* +2 and +3

T14 +3 and +4

T15* +4 and +5

NOTE: Jumpers must be placed on T11, T13 and T15 for all Class

A, Style Z applications.

A supply can be wired to be shared among multiple PCBs in

the same cabinet (figure 13 is typical). To share among multiple

PCBs: use the long power supply jumpers (shown on page 1) to

connect either T10 or T16, of one PCB, to either T10 or T16 of

the other PCB.

An EOL relay must be used for every external power supply (fig-

ures 9–12 are typical). The EOL relay coil should always be con-

nected at the external power supply input of the module which

is connected to the ends of the wires which are farthest from

the power supply. The EOL relay contacts should always be con-

nected in series with the NAC wiring of the same module. The

EOL relay coil should be connected across the PS+ (red wire) and

PS- (black wire) if it is connected at T0 – T5. The EOL relay coil

should be connected across adjacent pins (red – even pin#, black

– odd pin#), of the same connector, if T10 – T16 are used.

All wiring must be in accordance with the NEC, NFPA 72 and

all other applicable codes and standards. All external power sup-

plies must be voltage regulated with battery back-up. All external

power supplies, EOL relays, and notification appliances must be

UL listed for fire protection signaling applications.

WIRING NOTES

• Power-limited circuits must employ type FPL, FPLR, or FPLP

cable as required by Article 760 of the NEC.

• For easier wiring, assign all power-limited wiring to one side

rather than alternating with non power-limited.

PROGRAMMING

The CMF-300-6 module operates with the following Fire Alarm

Control Panels: • MS-9200 • MS-9600 • MS-9050

NAC Wiring and Supervision

For Class B, Style Y applications (figures 9 & 10 are typical): con-

nect the positive terminal of the notification appliance(s) to the

NAC+ terminal and the negative device terminal to the adjacent

NAC- terminal. Connect one (for each NAC) of the supplied EOL

resistors across the NAC+ and NAC- wires, at the ends farthest

away from the NAC terminal of the CMF-300-6.

For Class A, Style Z applications (figures 11 & 12 are typical) wire

the NACs per table 2. The A/B select shunt must be removed

prior to connecting the CMF-300-6 to the SLC. The EOL resistors

should not be used. The CMF-300-6 is capable of supporting 3

Class A, Style Z NACs. The CMF-300-6 will only respond at the

base address, base address +2, and base address +4 (assuming

no addresses have been disabled).

Table 3 gives an overview of how the power connectors, T0–T5

and T10–T15, are interconnected by the circuit board (PCB). The

external supply connection points, at T0–T5, are marked by PS–

and PS+ on the PCB legend. Pin 1 is indicated by a dot next to

T10–T16. The odd pins, on T10–T16, always connect to PS– pins

(e.g. PS–, of the +0 NAC, is connected to T10–1 and T11–1). The

even pins always connect to PS+ pins (e.g. PS+, of the +5 NAC,

is connected to T15-4 and T16-2).
