TM-4 Instructions P/N 51490:A 7/02/01
Introduction
The TM-4 Transmitter Module provides three reverse polarity outputs that communicate Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory
FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) messages to a remote station, or it can function as a Fire Municipal Box Trip output. It is
compatible with NFS series control panels and the NCA Network Control Annunciator, and communicates through the
EIA-485 ACS interface. It mounts easily in standard module locations within the cabinet or an external box.

Specifications
TM-4 Power Requirements
24 VDC, 175 mA
Three (3) isolated reverse polarity outputs
Maximum current per output: 15mA
Reverse polarity voltage: 24 VDC nominal
Fire Municipal Box trip
Supervisory current: 250 µA
Trip current: 0.35 A
Coil voltage: 3.65 VDC
Coil resistance: 14.6 ohms

Indicators
LED 1 - ACS Receive - Blinks green when Annunciator Control System (ACS) data is received.
LED 2 - ACS Transmit - Blinks green when ACS data is transmitted.
LED 3 - Trouble - Lights yellow when an ACS trouble occurs, or the Disable All Outputs switch (SW4) is on.
LED 4 - Power - Lights when 5 V of power is present on the TM-4 board.
Switches
SW1 - EOL resistor switch - Must be set to ON when the TM-4 is the last device on the ACS circuit.
SW2 - Address switch, tens position. Turn the dial until the arrow points to the number in the tens position of the ACS address.
SW3 - Address switch, ones position. Turn the dial until the arrow points to the number in the ones position of the ACS
address.
SW4 - Disable All Outputs switch - disables all outputs except Remote Station Trouble when turned ON, for ease in
maintenance.
Note: When this switch is ON, a trouble message is displayed at the FACP.
SW5 - Set of four DIP switches that function as follows:
SW5.1, SW5.2 - Not used.
SW5.3 - When set to ON: If the Signal Silence button at the panel is pushed after an alarm has been initiated, the
Remote Station or Municipal Box output will deactivate. A subsequent alarm will reactivate the output.
Note: This function is not valid for the AM2020/AFP1010 or INA.
SW5.4 - When set to ON Alarm and Trouble signals are combined onto one output (REMOTE STATION ALARM).
SW6 - Isolator switch - isolates or non-isolates the Municipal Box output.
Installation
The TM-4 is designed to mount in the NFS-640, CHS-4N, or
CHS-4L chassis, on a BMP-1 blank plate for dress panel
mounting, or in the ABS-8R cabinet.
The TM-4 comes with four Phillips-head screws (3/8” [9.5
mm] 4-46 screws, included) to be used in the locations indi-
cated at left.

In a Chassis
To mount the TM-4 in any of the chassis below:
1. Carefully insert the TM-4 tab into the chassis slot.
2. Align the screws with the appropriate standoffs.*
3. Screw the board to the chassis.
*The CHS-M2 Chassis requires two standoffs for mounting that are supplied with the TM-4. Attach the standoffs to the chassis studs
at standoff locations indicated below. The CHS-4, CHS-4L and CHS-4N do not require extra standoffs.
In a Cabinet
To mount the TM-4 in an ABS-8R cabinet, align the
TM-4 Phillips-head screws with the standoffs on the
back of the cabinet and fasten.

In an ADP-4B Dress Panel
The TM-4 will fit on the ADP-4B Dress Panel on a single-space blank plate (BMP-1) for mounting in a compatible cabinet.
NOTE: The TM-4 cannot be mounted in the ADP-4B Dress Panel when a front slot of the CHS-4 or CHS-4N is occupied, or when either of the
two front right positions of the CHS-M2 is occupied. Always be certain there is enough clearance to close the cabinet door when this
installation is used.
Connections
The jumper that is included with the TM-4 must be installed on the Municipal Station terminals of TB1 when the
municipal station application is not used.
ACS and Power Connections to NFS-640
Mount a single-space blank
plate onto the Dress Panel.

Remote Station Connections
Note: This application cannot be used on the TM-4 when the Municipal Box Application is being used.
Remote Station Alarm and Trouble Combination
Where accepted by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), the alarm and trouble can be combined on the same
alarm output. SW5.4 must be turned on. An active alarm would then be indicated by reverse polarity, an active trou-
ble is indicated by no voltage. An active alarm will override the trouble signal.
Programming
The TM-4 must be programmed as an annunciator at the FACP or NCA. Refer to the NFS-640 Programming Man-
ual (P/N 51333) and the NCA Manual (P/N 51482) for further information.
