FW821 Input-Output Module
DESCRIPTION
The input-Output module FW821 is a UL listed device
according to UL864 and ULC-S527 for Fire Protective
Signaling Systems for indoor use. FW821 provides one
24VDC output and in addition one feedback input switch.
The input line is monitored for open line faults and
ground faults and the contact must thus be wired with an
end of line resistor. The output line is monitored for open
line, short circuit faults, ground faults, external 24VDC
power source loss and an end of line resistor is needed
as well.
When the output is activated or the feedback is switched,
the device LED will indicate the event condition by fast
blinking.
A return to normal condition will cause the event to
disappear and the device LED indicator will return to the
red idle condition.
The FW821 is intelligent addressable and takes one
address on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of the fire
alarm control panel.

PROGRAMMING
The module must be programmed to a valid address
before use. A valid address means the address must be in
1~252 and can’t be duplicate with other device in same
loop. Please use the hand-held programmer ReadWritor
FW411 to set device address.
Disconnect wire at terminal 1, 2, 3 and 4 before
programming.
INSTALLATION
•Mount the base, FW800, onto a 2X4 or 4x4 electrical
box using the screws provided, as illustrated in Figure
1.

•Connect the wires, see Figure 2. There is polarity
sensitive between terminal 1 and terminal 2. The

(Note1: polarity sensitive between terminal 1 and terminal 2, terminal
3 and terminal 4, terminal 6 and terminal 5.)
(Note2: All circuits are power-limited)
(Note3: The maximum line impedance for Feedback input circuit is 25
Ω. The maximum line impedance for output circuit is 1 Ω)
(Note4: External input power supply is either PCU AUX output of FACP
or Listed 24VDC Regulated/power-limited source with ground fault
detection.)
(Note5: An example of compatible device is door strike, Model 0563
from RUTHERFORD CONTROLS IN’L INC with “Fail secure”mode.
Acceptability should be determined by Authorities Having Jurisdiction.)
•Wire the SLC to the module as illustrated in Figure 3.

TESTING
1. Before testing, inform proper authorities that the
system is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily
be put out of service. Disable the system to prevent
unwanted alarms.
2. Make sure the indicator LED on the module’s surface is
flashing. Failure to flash indicates a nonfunctioning
detector or faulty wiring. Check the wiring and remount
the device.
3. Trigger the input switch to activate a feedback signal.
The LED should turn to red fast blinking. Check the event
occurrence displayed on LCD of controller and verify it.
4. Restore the input switch to normal position. The LED
should turn to red idle condition. An output signal will
display on the FACP AMI interface.
5. Activate the output (you may need to make a related
control logic at first on control panel). The LED should
turn to red fast blinking.
6. Deactivate the output. The LED should turn to red idle
condition.
7. When testing is completed, set the system back to
normal operation and inform proper authorities.
MAINTENANCE
Return the device for repair if it fails to flash or alarm
during testing. Do not disassemble the module without
permission.
ATTENTION
The products must be installed in accordance with NFPA
72, CAN/ULC-S524 and CEC depending on country of
installation. Check information of equipment used in the
system by other manufacturers for any guidelines or
restrictions.
NOTE
Do not paint this device.
