FW851 ISOLATOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The FW851 isolator module isolates the short point
on the signaling line circuit (SLC). The internal relay
will be triggered to cut down the line power where
the short trouble is detected. The device LED will
indicate the trouble condition by yellow steady on. A
return to normal condition will cause the internal
relay to normal position to restore the line power and
the device LED indicator will return to the idle
condition. The FW851 does not occupy an address on
the Fire Alarm Control Panel’s SLC, so no address
programming is required. The FW851 is a UL listed
product according to UL864 and ULC-S527 for Fire
Protective Signaling Systems for indoor use.
ATTENTION
The products must be installed in
accordance with the NFPA 72, the
CAN/ULC‐S524, and the Canadian
Electrical Code depending on the
country of installation. Check
information of equipment used in the system by other
manufacturers for any guidelines or restrictions.

Do not paint this device.

electrical box using the screws provided, as
illustrated in
2. Figure 1.
Figure 1. Installation Diagram
3. Connect the wires, see Figure 2. There is polarity
insensitive between terminal 1 and terminal 2, and
between terminal 7 and 8. All circuits are power-
limited.

5. Combine the assembled unit to the base using the
screws provided.
6. Apply power to the control unit.
1. Before testing, inform the 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 a short circuit trouble on the SLC. Check
the FW851 internal relay to see if it is triggered
and to verify if the LED turned to steady on.
3. Restore the short circuit trouble and check the
FW851 internal relay to see if it is restored to
normal position and to verify that the LED turned
off.
4. Once the testing is completed, set the system back
to normal operation and inform proper authorities.
