BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to
the appropriate Fire•Lite control panel installation manual for detailed sys-
tem information. If the modules will be installed in an existing operational
system, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be tempo-
rarily out of service. Disconnect the power to the control panel before install-
ing 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 CRF-300-6 Six Relay Control Module is intended for use in an intelligent
alarm system. Each module is intended for Form-C switching applications,
which do not require wiring supervision for the load circuit. A single isolated
set of dry relay contacts is provided for each module, which is capable of
being wired for either normally open or normally closed for each operation.
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 remaining modules are au-
tomatically assigned to the next five higher addresses. Provisions are included
for disabling a maximum of three unused modules to release the addresses to
be used elsewhere. Each CRF-300-6 module also has panel controlled green
LED indicators. The panel can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off.

COMPONENTS
Following are descriptions of the CRF-300-6 mounting frameworks. There are
two mounting options for CRF-300-6 modules:
Up to six CRF-300-6 modules can be installed on a CH-6 in a BB-6 •
cabinet
One or two CRF-300-6 modules can be installed in a BB-2 cabinet•
WARNING
All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open) state, but
may have transferred to the activated (closed) state during shipping. To en-
sure 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.

INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Cabinet Mounting
FIGURE 3. TYPICAL MOUNTING HOLE LOCATIONS:
BACKBOX
MOUNTING
HOLES
In a clean, dry area, mount the backbox using the four holes provided in the
back surface of the cabinet.
2. Chassis Installation
The CH-6 chassis is mounted in the BB-6 cabinet. It is shipped with two self-
threading screws, which are used to fasten the chassis to the back wall of the
cabinet (see Figure 4).
FIGURE 4. MOUNTING THE CH-6 CHASSIS:
MOUNT WITH
SELF-THREADING SCREWS
TO BACK OF CABINET
The BB-2 cabinet comes with the chassis already installed, so no mounting
is necessary.
Chassis
The CH-6 chassis is used to mount CRF-300-6 modules in a BB-6 cabinet. It
accommodates up to six CRF-300-6 modules in a single cabinet row three
modules wide and two modules deep.
FIGURE 1. CH-6 CHASSIS:
The BB-2 cabinet has a built-in chassis that will accommodate one or two
CRF-300-6 modules.

The front CRF-300-6 module positions of each chassis are offset below the rear
CRF-300-6 module positions so that all of the status indicators are visible.
Cabinets
A BB-6 cabinet will house the CH-6 chassis with up to six CRF-300-6 modules
installed on it. Refer to cabinet installation documents for dimensions.
The BB-2 cabinet houses one or two CRF-300-6 modules on the internal chas-
sis that is part of the cabinet. Refer to cabinet installation documents for
dimensions.

Step 2: Carefully swing the bottom edge of the board towards the back of
the board until it touches the short standoff attached to the chassis.
Step 3: Align the long standoff with the short standoff and tighten.

Step 1: Insert the bottom edge of the CRF-300-6 module down into a front
slot of the chassis.
Step 2: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board towards the back of
the chassis until it touches the 11/4″ (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, ordinances, and
regulations.
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropri-
ate wiring diagrams.
2. Make electrical connections by stripping approximately 1/4˝ (6.35mm)
of insulation from the end of the wire sliding the bare end of the wire
under the clamping plate, and tightening 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 (between 01 and 154). 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. 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 up-
per rotary switch. 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.
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 Ad-
dress 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.
NOTE: Power must not be applied to the unit when changing functionality of
the shunts.

3. Module Installation
There are two methods for installing a module in the rear position of a chas-
sis. Method one is for installation of a rear module only, when no module will
be installed in front of it. Refer to Figure 5 for instructions. Method two is for
installation of a rear module when another module will be installed in the
chassis position in front of it. Refer to Figures 6a and 6b for method two. All
necessary screws and standoffs are supplied with the modules.
FIGURE 5. INSTALLATION OF REAR MODULE ONLY, METHOD ONE:

Step 1: Insert the bottom of the CRF-300-6 module down into a rear slot on
the chassis.
Step 2: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board back towards the back
of the chassis until it touches the two standoffs.
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.
The steps in Figures 6a and 6b describe and illustrate module installation
when the rear chassis position and the position in front of it will be filled.
Front position installation is possible only if the rear position is filled with a
module.

NOTES:
The relay contacts on the CRF-300-6 may be connected to either a •
power-limited or non power-limited source, this wiring must remain
separated by at least 1/4˝ (6.35 mm) from all power-limited wiring.

ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
