Introduction
The JCI CMS-1655 Central Monitoring Station
is used to monitor any combination of up to
four FMS-1655 Room Pressure Controllers
and HMS-1655 Fume Hood Controllers.
The CMS-1655 is capable of monitoring
and displaying parameters in any critical
environment space or fume hood including
differential pressure, face velocity, isolation
mode, operating mode, and alarm status. The
CMS-1655 includes both visual and audible
alarms independent of the alarms on the
monitored controllers.
Key features of the CMS-1655 include:
• Display up to four parameters from any
of JCI’s isolation room controllers and/or
fume hood controllers in real-time
• Expanded visibility of a monitored
station, allowing all six of its analog
inputs to be viewed in real-time (AI-1
through AI-4, TI-1 & TI-2)
• Full-color touchscreen display with
programmable options and adjustable
LED backlighting
• Intuitive graphical user interface which
simplifies setup and configuration
• Display background and action icons
change to indicate room or fume hood
status
• Audible and visual alarms for each
monitored parameter
• Password protection (up to 10 entries)
• Protocol-independent solution; works
seamlessly with BACnet® and N2®
networks
• Simple installation with 4-conductor
cable attached to nearest JCI controller
• No separate power supply required
The CMS-1655 is equipped with a 3.2”
diagonal full-color touchscreen display in
portrait orientation (240 x 320 resolution).
The display incorporates bright background
color changes to indicate up to five different
status indications of the monitored space or
fume hood.
Green represents a normal status whereby
the monitored parameter is within defined
normal operating limits. Yellow indicates
that the monitored parameter has drifted
outside of the normal operating limits, and is
approaching the alarm region. Red indicates
that the monitored parameter has encroached
the critical region and is currently in alarm.
Blue indicates that the monitored parameter
is either in neutral isolation mode (differential
pressure for rooms), or in decommissioned
mode (face velocity for fume hoods). Cyan
indicates that the monitored FMS-1650/55 is
currently in Auto Clean mode, and is being
evacuated of all airborne contaminants.
See Figure 1 for a sample screenshot of a
CMS-1655 monitoring the parameters of
multiple FMS-1655s and HMS-1655s.
The user may set up multiple passwords to
prevent unauthorized or casual access to the
CMS-1655 configuration settings. Up to 10
passwords of up to eight digits may be stored.
The CMS-1655 is configured at the factory
to monitor up to four controllers. The user
may change the factory-default settings by
following the procedures outlined in the Quick
Start Guide (page 3) section of this manual.
The electrical connections to the CMS-
1655 are made via convenient terminal
block connectors as shown on page 7. All
wiring should conform to local regulations
and to the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Precautions must be taken to avoid running
communications wiring in the same conduit as
line voltage or other conductors that supply
highly inductive loads such as generators,
motors, solenoids, contactors, and other
sources of induced noise. Use 22 AWG or
larger for all electrical wiring terminations.
Mounting Procedure: Flush Thin Mount
The CMS-1655 flush thin mount model offers
an attractive stainless steel faceplate with an
ultra-thin enclosure (less than ¾” thick) that
may be installed in any application where
wall depth is either unknown or extremely
limited. New construction applications can

take advantage of the included wall box that
may be installed during the rough-in phase.
For retrofit applications not requiring electrical
conduit termination, the unit may be installed
using the retrofit mounting plate that simplifies
the installation process.
1. The CMS-1655 flush thin mount model
should be mounted in a location that provides
convenient access so the display may be
viewed with minimal glare and the touch
screen is easily accessible to facilitate
silencing the unit in the event of an alarm
condition.
2. If this is a new construction project and the
wall box has been installed, you may skip the
next two steps. If this is a retrofit application
and existing drywall is in place, then proceed
with the next step to prepare the opening for
the CMS-1655 flush thin mount model.
3. Using the retrofit mounting plate (see
Figure 2) as a template, trace the inner outline
onto the drywall at the desired mounting
location with a pencil or marker. Also mark
the location of the two mounting holes on
the drywall. Cut along the traced outline
with a drywall knife or saw, taking care not
to make the opening too large. Drill out the
two holes to clear access to the mounting
clip nuts. Remove the cut section of drywall
and discard. Be sure to brush off any drywall
dust or remnants from the inside surface of
the opening to ensure proper adhesion of the
retrofit mounting plate.
4. Remove the paper backing from the two
adhesive strips on the retrofit mounting
plate and insert it into the cut opening of the
drywall. The retrofit plate should be oriented
such that the corner notch is located at the
lower left corner of the opening in the drywall,
with the tabs bent towards you. Using the
four tabs on the retrofit mounting plate as
alignment guides, press the mounting plate
onto the inside surface of the drywall opening
firmly to ensure maximum adhesion.
5. The electrical connections must be
terminated before installing the stainless
steel faceplate of the CMS-1655. Run the
4-conductor, dual twisted pair, electrical
connection from the nearest FMS-1650/55 or
HMS-1650/55. Refer to the wiring diagram
shown on page 7 for details.
6. Terminate the interface cable originating
from the host controller at the 4-position and
3-position terminal blocks on the back side
of the CMS-1655 display, ensuring proper
electrical connections. Power connections
should be terminated at +V and GND
of the 4-position terminal block, and the
subnet connections should be terminated
at NETWK+ and NETWK- at the 3-position
terminal block (see page 7). Do not apply
power until the faceplate has been securely
fastened to the wall.
7. With the electrical connections properly
terminated, the stainless steel faceplate
may be installed using the two flat head
machine screws. For retrofit applications
where the mounting plate has been affixed
to the inside surface of the drywall, the two
mounting screws thread into the clip nuts of
the mounting plate. For those applications
where the wall box has been installed, the two
mounting screws fasten the faceplate directly.
8. With power applied, the CMS-1655 should
display the offline status of four stations at the
default subnet addresses.
Mounting Procedure: Surface Mount
The CMS-1655 surface mount model
incorporates a low-profile display enclosure
that may be mounted to any surface using
wall anchors or the appropriate fastening
hardware. For new construction applications,
the CMS-1655 surface mount enclosure is
designed to accommodate a standard single-
gang (2x4) wall box. This allows the wall box
to be installed during the rough-in phase,
and the appropriate electrical conduits to be
installed as necessary. The CMS-1655 is
configured at the factory to monitor up to four
controllers. The user may change the factory-
default settings by following the procedures
outlined in the Quick Start Guide (page 3)
section of this manual.
The electrical connections to the CMS-1655
are made via convenient terminal block
connectors as shown on page 7.
All wiring should conform to local regulations
and to the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Precautions must be taken to avoid running
communications wiring in the same conduit as
line voltage or other conductors that supply
highly inductive loads such as generators,

motors, solenoids, contactors, and other
sources of induced noise. Use 22 AWG or
larger for all electrical wiring terminations.
1. The CMS-1655 surface mount model
should be mounted in a location that provides
convenient access so the display may be
viewed with minimal glare and the touch
screen is easily accessible to facilitate
silencing the unit in the event of an alarm
condition.
2. Begin the mounting procedure by removing
the surface mount enclosure cover from the
backplate. Turn the set screw at the bottom
of the enclosure clockwise until it has cleared
the hole in the cover, thereby allowing it to be
removed from the backplate. To re-secure the
cover, turn the set screw counter-clockwise
until is it flush with the cover.
3. If this is a new construction project and
a single-gang wall box has been installed,
you may skip the next step. If this is a retrofit
application and existing drywall is in place,
then proceed with the next step to prepare for
the mounting of the CMS-1655 surface mount
model.
4. There are two primary options for installing
the CMS-1655 surface mount model in retrofit
applications. The first option is to use two
drywall anchors to mount the surface mount
Safety HaloTM backplate. Using the backplate
as a template for marking and drilling a ¾”
hole at the center, bring the low-voltage wiring
required for the CMS-1655 through the center
hole at the backplate. The second option is to
use an “old-work” low-voltage box or bracket
as shown in Figure 3.
5. Once the surface mount Safety HaloTM
backplate has been properly mounted, the
electrical connections should be terminated
before installing the cover with the display.
Run the 4-conductor, dual twisted pair,
electrical connection from the nearest
controller. Refer to the wiring diagram shown
on page 7 for details.
6. Terminate the interface cable originating
from the host controller at the 4-position and
3-position terminal blocks on the back side
of the CMS-1655 display, ensuring proper
electrical connections. Power connections
should be terminated at +V and GND
of the 4-position terminal block, and the
subnet connections should be terminated
at NETWK+ and NETWK- at the 3-position
terminal block (see page 7). Do not apply
power until the Safety HaloTM faceplate has
been securely fastened to the wall.
7. With the electrical connections properly
terminated, the surface mount enclosure
cover may be installed by sliding the two tabs
at the top of the inside edge into the two slots
at the top of the backplate secured to the wall.
Secure the CMS-1655 enclosure cover by
turning the slotted set screw at the bottom of
the backplate counter-clockwise, backing it
out until it is flush with the cover.
8. With power applied, the CMS-1655 should
display the offline status of four stations at the
default subnet addresses.
Quick Start Guide
After the CMS-1655 unit has been properly
installed, apply power to the unit. Upon
power up, you will hear a quick beep at the
CMS-1655 display which indicates that the
initialization sequence has been initiated;
the Safety Halo™ status indication bezel
will cycle through seven colors (red, green,
blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, and white);
followed by the three action icons shown
in Figure 4 that represent normal, caution,
and alarm; and finally, the JCI splash screen
indicating the electronic serial number (ESN),
firmware version numbers, and the number of
controllers being monitored.
This splash screen remains displayed for
several seconds and then disappears to
reveal the main display screen in the currently
configured monitor mode. The splash screen
information may also be redisplayed at any
time using the About This CMS option on the
Diagnostics menu.

Main Display Screen
All CMS-1655 units come shipped from the
factory in the Quad Station Monitor mode
(Figure 5). Information displayed on the main
screen includes the following for FMS units:
• Name of monitored room (up to 25
characters)
• Current mode (positive, negative,
neutral, or auto clean)
• Current alarm status (normal, warning,
or alarm)
• Current monitored parameter reading in
selected engineering units
• Current local audible alarm status
(enabled or disabled)
When monitoring parameters at HMS units,
the following information may be displayed on
the main screen:
• Name of monitored fume hood (up to 25
characters)
• Current operating mode (occupied,
unoccupied, or decommissioned)
• Current alarm status (normal, warning,
or alarm)
• Current monitored parameter reading in
selected engineering units
• Current local audible alarm status
(enabled or disabled)
If a monitored station is offline, the
background color of the monitored parameter
section on the screen will be blue with the
“offline” or “disabled” action icon shown.
Once a monitored station comes online, the
background color will update to represent
the current alarm status of the monitored
parameter. A green background with the
green checkmark action icon indicates that
the monitored parameter is within normal
operating range.
A yellow background with the yellow
exclamation point action icon indicates that
the monitored parameter has drifted outside
of the allowable limits of the desired setpoint,
and is in the caution or warning range. The
yellow background is also used to indicate
that a door is open at a monitored FMS unit
(if a door switch has been incorporated with
the FMS).
A red background with the red exclamation
point action icon indicates that the monitored
parameter has reached a critical condition
and is outside of the allowable limits of the
target setpoint. This visual indication is
supplemented by an audible alarm to indicate
that attention is required for the current
situation.
The CMS-1655 incorporates a full-color touch
screen display and includes an intuitive menu
system that allows the user to quickly set up
the monitoring station for immediate use.
Also incorporated in the CMS-1655 display
are hotspots that provide quick access to
in-depth station details, as well as individual
audible alarm enable/disable functions. While
in single-station (standard viewing) mode,
the main screen includes hot spots for quick
access to set the time and date.
Touching the screen anywhere other than
one of the reserved hotspots invokes the
menu system, unless one or more security
passwords have been entered. If the FMS or
HMS stations that are monitored by the CMS-
1655 reside on a network with a time server,
then the time and date will automatically be
synchronized by the CMS-1655 through one
of the units.
Configuring CMS-1655
Configuring the CMS-1655 settings can be
accomplished in three simple steps:
1. Select monitoring mode (single, dual,
triple, or quad)
2. Specify subnetwork address of each
monitored controller
3. Select individual parameter to be
monitored at each controller

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Fig 5. Quad Station View

The CMS-1655 comes pre-configured
for Quad Station Monitor mode. If your
application requires monitoring less than four
controllers or parameters, then the monitoring
mode can be re-configured in the next step
(see Figure 6).
Specifying Network Address(es)
Once the monitoring mode is selected, the
user is prompted to specify the subnetwork
address(es) of the monitored controllers. Use
the address sliders to specify the address
for each monitored controller, and tap Finish
to save the new configuration settings (see
Figure 7). If Dual or Triple Station Monitor
mode is selected, then the screen below in
Figure 7 will be replaced by one with two or
three address sliders, respectively.
If Single Station Monitor mode is selected, in
addition to specifying the subnetwork address
of the controller to be monitored, the Viewing
Mode must also be selected. There are two
viewing mode options available for single
station monitor mode: Standard View and
Status-Only View. Standard view presents
the normal single sensor viewing screen with
the two simulated LCD windows at the top
and bottom of the display. Status-only view
presents the user with a view free of numeric
values (see Figure 8).
Selecting Individual Parameters
The CMS-1655 is capable of monitoring up
to four parameters of up to four independent
JCI controllers. Once the individual controllers
have been specified, the parameters at each
monitored controller may be selected. This is
accomplished by tapping the orange button
on the main display (see Figure 9). Tapping
this button invokes a detailed screen which
includes all six of the analog input parameters
currently being monitored at the selected
station. To change which parameter gets
displayed at the main screen of the CMS-
1655, select the individual parameter on the
details screen and tap the OK button.
Adding Password Security
The CMS-1655 menu system may be
protected by adding as many as ten user-
specified passwords to the system. A
password entry may be created by selecting
System Setup >> Password Setup >> Add
Password and the user is prompted to enter
a minimum of four and up to eight digits (see
Figure 10).
All password entries are stored in non-volatile
memory, and are preserved while the unit
is powered down. If a password has been
forgotten, there is a factory-default override
password that will provide access to the user
menu system. Please consult with the factory
for more information regarding this password.

Introduction
This section details all of the available
capabilities in the CMS-1655, and should be
used to access more detailed information
regarding the menu options in the product
organized as follows:
• Overview
• Main Setup Menu
• Unit Setup
• System Setup
• Display Setup
• Diagnostics
The touchscreen user interface of the CMS-
1655 Central Monitoring Station is designed
to facilitate the initial setup and configuration,
diagnosis, and troubleshooting during the
installation process. Each menu screen is
limited to four options, thereby simplifying
navigation through the menu system. Context-
sensitive help is available at most menu
screens and is accessed simply by touching
the menu title on any particular screen (see
Figure 12).
To exit from any Help screen, simply touch the
display anywhere. Multi-page menu screens
have navigation buttons at the bottom of each
screen that allow the user to move forward
or backward, and include a convenient Exit
button on the last screen to quickly exit the
menu system and return to the main display.
To preserve the security of the configuration
settings, up to 10 passwords may be
programmed to prevent unauthorized access
to the system configuration settings. To further
prevent unauthorized access, the CMS-1655
user menu system incorporates automatic
time-out periods based on the screen
currently being displayed.
Menu screens time-out after 90 seconds
of inactivity, while configuration screens
automatically time-out after 60 seconds.
This prevents unauthorized access to the user
menu system should a unit be inadvertently
left unattended at one of the configuration
screens.
Main Setup Menu
All of the configuration screens that allow the
settings of the CMS-1655 to be configured for
a specific application originate from the top
level of the user interface menu system, the
Main Setup Menu as shown in Figure 13.
The Main Setup Menu includes four options
which provide support for 1) configuring
the settings specific to the unit as a central
monitoring station, 2) configuring the alarm
facility settings and managing the system
security passwords, 3) configuring the display-
specific settings, and 4) using the diagnostics
and troubleshooting resources.
The majority of the configuration settings
are available through the Unit Setup
option on the Main Setup Menu. Options
available through the System Setup Menu
option include support for configuring the
comprehensive alarm facility and managing
the security passwords. The Display Setup
option provides support for configuring all of
the display-specific settings integrated in the
CMS-1655.
The CMS-1655 can simultaneously display
in real-time up to four monitored parameters,
their operating modes (if applicable), alarm
status, and their associated names. The
Diagnostics menu option provides information
specific to this particular CMS-1655 unit.
PROGRAMMING MANUAL

Fig. 13 Main Setup Menu

Unit Setup
The CMS-1655 is capable of monitoring and
displaying up to four parameters total, from up
to four individual JCI controllers. These four
parameters may all be from one controller
or from multiple controllers. The Unit Setup
menu shown in Figure 14 provides support
for 1) selecting the individual controllers to
be monitored, 2) configuring the subnetwork
address of the central monitoring station, and
3) configuring the audible alarm settings.
The Monitor Setup option allows the user to
select the number of stations or parameters
to monitor as well as the subnetwork
addresses for each. Up to four parameters
may be monitored on any combination of
up to four controllers. The Network Setup
option provides support for configuring the
subnetwork address for the CMS-1655. The
Audible Alert option provides support for
configuring the settings associated with the
alarm facility integrated in the CMS-1655.
Configuring Monitor Settings
The Monitor Setup option on the Unit Setup
menu invokes the configuration screen shown
in Figure 15, which allows the user to specify
the monitoring mode of the CMS-1655.
Single Station Monitor should be selected
if a single controller is being monitored.
If multiple parameters at a single station
need to be monitored, then the monitor
mode should be specified for the number of
parameters being monitored. For example, if
monitoring differential pressure, temperature
and humidity at an FMS-1650/55 controller,
then Triple Station Monitor mode should be
selected.
Tapping the Next button at the Select Monitor
Mode configuration screen invokes the next

System Setup
The CMS-1655 integrates an alarm facility
that may be easily customized to suit the
requirements of a specific application. This
includes the ability to enable and disable
individual alarms for both audible and visual
modes. An Alarm Quiet Period feature has
been integrated in the CMS-1655 which
allows the audible alarms to be suppressed
while still allowing the visual alarms to
continue.
To preserve the integrity of the configuration
settings stored in the non-volatile memory of
the CMS-1655, a system security password
management facility has been incorporated
with a capacity of ten unique passwords.
The System Setup menu shown in Figure
21 provides support for both configuring the
alarm settings and managing system security
passwords.
Configuring Universal Alarm Settings
All of the configuration settings associated
with the CMS-1655 alarm facility may be
accessed at the Alarms Setup menu shown
in Figure 22. Options on this menu allow
individual alarms to be enabled for each of the
monitored parameters at up to four individual
stations or controllers.
Selecting the Enable Alarms option invokes
the Alarm Enable Settings, where individual
parameters or stations may be enabled for
alarm status monitoring.
A controller that has been enabled for
alarm status reporting at the Alarm Enable
Settings screen will report its status visually,
independent of its audible alarm settings.
There are three alarm status conditions, each
represented by a distinct background color
and action icon on the display as shown in
Figure 23.

There are also two additional action icons
that represent Decommissioned mode at a
monitored HMS-1650/55, and Neutral and
Auto Clean mode at a monitored FMS-
1650/5 controller. More information on these
additional mode indications is provided in
sections below.
Normal status indicates that the monitored
parameter is within its normal operating
range and is indicated by a green background
and a green checkmark action icon. The
Safety Halo™ status indicator, if enabled,
will illuminate in green to indicate the normal
status.
Warning status indicates that the monitored
parameter has drifted outside of its normal
operating range, but has not yet exceeded
the alarm setpoints. This condition is
indicated by a yellow background and a
yellow exclamation point action icon. The
Safety Halo™ status indicator, if enabled, will
flash slowly in yellow to indicate the warning
or caution status. This warning status is
also used to indicate that a monitored door
associated with the differential pressure input
at an FMS-1650/55 is open.
Alarm status indication that the monitored
parameter has exceeded the defined alarm
limits and is in need of attention. This critical
condition is indicated by a red background
and a red exclamation point action icon. The
Safety Halo™ status indicator, if enabled,
will flash quickly in red to indicate the alarm
status.
A blue background indicates either Neutral
isolation mode is selected at a monitored
FMS-1650/55, or Decommissioned mode
is selected at a monitored HMS-1650/55.
These modes are indicated by an action icon
represented as a red circle with a line through
its center. The Safety Halo™ status indicator,
if enabled, will illuminate in blue to indicate
the neutral or decommissioned mode.
When Auto Clean mode at a monitored FMS-
1655 is enabled, the CMS-1655 indicates the
status by a cyan background and a simulated
fan as the action icon. The Safety Halo™
status indicator, if enabled, will flash slowly in
cyan to indicate the Auto Clean mode.
The Audible Alert option on the Alarms Setup
menu invokes the same configuration screens
as described above in Configuring Audible
Alert Settings section of this document.
Managing System Security Passwords
The CMS-1655 incorporates a system
security password facility to prevent
unauthorized access to the system menus
and configuration settings, and may store
up to 10 unique password entries. The
Password Setup option on the System Setup
menu allows the user to manage the system
passwords, including options for adding and
deleting entries (see Figure 24). The following
sections discuss the use of these three
options.
Adding New Passwords
To add a new password entry, select the Add
Password option from the Password Setup
menu. At the Add Password entry screen
shown in Figure 25, enter at least four and up
to eight digits. If the entry is unique, tapping
the Finish button stores the password to non-

Display Setup
The Display Setup menu provides support
for configuring all of the display settings on
the CMS-1655. This includes configuring the
Safety Halo™ settings, selecting the display
mode based on the number of parameters
or controllers being monitored, adjusting the
display brightness, and setting the system
time and date. Each of these Display Setup
menu options is discussed in more detail in
the following sections.
Configuring the Safety Halo™
The Safety Halo™ option on the Display
Setup menus allows the configuration of
the settings for the Safety Halo™ status
indicating bezel, including the Nightly Auto-
Dim feature. This feature allows the Safety
Halo™ indicator to automatically reduce its
brightness to the specified percentage at the
specified Starting Hour, and return to normal
brightness at the specified Ending Hour.
To configure the Safety Halo™ settings, select
the Safety Halo™ option from the Display
Setup menu, which invokes the Safety Halo™
Settings configuration screen. The Safety
Halo™ feature may be enabled or disabled
by selecting the corresponding radio button.
If enabled, the normal intensity level may be
varied between one percent and 100 percent.
This is the intensity of the Safety Halo™
illuminated bezel during normal operating
hours if Nightly Auto-Dim is enabled, or
continuously otherwise.
To configure the Safety Halo™ feature to
reduce in brightness intensity during evening
hours or otherwise, select the Nightly Auto-
Dim radio button and adjust the Dimmed
Level between zero percent and 100 percent.
To turn off the Safety Halo™ during the
Nightly Auto-Dim period, set the dimmed
level to zero percent. Tap the Next button to
proceed to the next Safety Halo™ Settings
screen where the starting and ending hours of
the Dimmed Period may be specified.
For example, to configure the Safety Halo™
feature to reduce in brightness intensity to the
dimmed level between 7:00 pm and 6:00 am
every day, set the Starting Hour to 19 and the
Ending Hour to 6. In this example, the Safety
Halo™ status indicating bezel will reduce in
intensity at 7:00 pm every night, and return to
normal intensity at 6:00 am every morning.
Selecting Display Mode
The Display Mode option on the Display
Setup menu allows the units main display
to be configured based on the number of
parameters or stations being monitored by the
CMS-1655. Selecting this option invokes the
Select Display Mode configuration screen as
shown below in Figure 26.
Fig. 26 Select Display Mode
Selecting Display Brightness
Selecting the Set Brightness option on
the Display Setup menu invokes the Set
Backlighting Level configuration screen as
shown below in Figure 27. To increase the
brightness of the display, move the slider to
the right. Moving the slider to the left reduces
the brightness down to a minimum level that
remains visible. Tapping the OK button stores
the new brightness setting to non-volatile
memory, which allows the display to return to
this brightness level even if a power loss is
experienced.
