supervised by the module. The device communicates through a robust, bi-di-
rectional mesh network to the gateway and/or FACP. Rotary dial switches are
provided for setting the module’s address. The module has a panel controlled
LED indicator. (See Figure 1.)
FACEPLATE
The faceplate includes a magnet for activation and tamper resistance. (See
Figure 2.) The faceplate magnet activates communication to the panel, there-
fore, the faceplate must be installed for the module to work properly. The
magnet also activates a supervisory tamper fault at the panel if the nameplate
is removed. Do NOT remove this magnet. The faceplate for a wireless module
CANNOT be replaced with the faceplate of a standard wired module.

FIGURE 1. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to
the control panel installation manual and the SWIFT® Wireless 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 service. Disconnect power to the control panel be-
fore installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FW-RM(A) Relay Module is intended for use with a wireless gateway or
wireless fire alarm control panel (FACP). It allows a compatible control panel
to switch discrete contacts by code command. The relay contains one isolated
set of Form-C contacts, which operate as a SPDT switch and are rated in ac-
cordance with the table in this manual. A single relay module may be used
to activate only one output device. Circuit connections to the relay are not

COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
Notifier system control panel (list available from Notifier).
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Low battery levels on the wireless devices are displayed as a trouble in the
FACP. Therefore when the message “TROUBLE BATTERY LOW” is displayed,
replace the battery in the device. This message is an indication that approxi-
mately one week of battery life remains.
To replace the batteries in a wireless device use the following steps:
1. Have 4 CR123A (or DL123A) batteries available
2. Remove the faceplate from the module.
3. Open the battery compartment. (See Figure 3.)
4. Remove the used batteries and replace with new batteries. The battery com-
partment is designed such that the batteries can only align in the appropri-
ate direction. Do not force the batteries into the openings.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
6. Replace the faceplace.
MOUNTING
The FW-RM(A) mounts directly to an SMB500(-WH) electrical box. (See
Figure 4.) To avoid interference with the wireless network metal elec-
trical boxes are NOT recommended. Non-metal surface mounted elec-
trical boxes (SMB500/SMB500-WH) are available from Notifier. If not
using an SMB500(-WH), the minimum mounting opening dimensions for the
FW-RM(A) are 4 in. X 3¾ in. x 1½ in. deep.
NOTE: Do not attach the module to temporary structures such that the place-
ment could be altered.
WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and
regulations. For applications interfacing with Emergency Control Functions,
field wiring shall be limited to 3' or 20' in non-metallic conduit. In Canada,
wiring methods shall be in accordance with CSA C22.1 Safety Standard for
Electrical Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 32.
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 4.
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 ensure that
the switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to com-
municate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
When interfacing with an emergency control function, that function must re-
spond in 1 second or less.
