FCM-1 Module
(See wiring diagram Fig. 5 for FRM-1)
GENERAL
FCM-1 Control Module — The FCM-1 Addressable
Control Module provides the NOTIFIER AFC-600 control
panel for a circuit of Notification Appliances (horns, strobes,
speakers, etc.) or to monitor a telephone circuit.
Addressability allows the FCM to be activated, either manu-
ally or through panel programming, on a select (zone or
area of coverage) basis.
FRM-1 Relay Module — The FRM-1 Addressable Re-
lay Module provides the AFC-600 with a dry-contact output
for activating a variety of auxiliary devices, such as fans,
dampers, control equipment, etc. Addressability allows the
drycontacttobeactivated,eithermanuallyorthroughpanel
programming, on a select basis.
FlashScan (patent pending) is a new communication
protocol developed by NOTIFIER Engineering that greatly
enhances the speed of communication between analog in-
telligent devices. Intelligent devices communicate in a
grouped fashion. If one of the devices within the group
has new information, the panel CPU stops the group poll
and concentrates on single points. The net effect is re-
sponse speed
greater than five times that of other de-
signs.
FEATURES
• Built-in type identification automatically identifies these
devices to the control panel.
• Internal circuitry and relay powered directly by two-wire
SLC loop. The FCM module requires power (for horns,
strobes, etc.), audio (for speakers), or a telephone riser
(for handsets).
• Built-in PS monitor replaces end-of-line relay (FCM only).
• Integral LED “blinks” green each time a communication
is received from the control panel and turns on in steady
red when activated.
• LEDblinkmaybedeselectedglobally(affects all devices).
• High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).
• TheFCMmaybeusedtoswitch 24-volt NAC power,audio
(up to 70.7 VRMS) or telephone.
• Wide viewing angle of LED.
• SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.
• Direct-dial entry of address (01-159).
• Speaker, audible/visual, and telephone applications may
be wired for Class B or A (Style Y or Z).

PRELIMINARY
FlashScan™ is a trademark of NOTIFIER.
Noryl® is a registered trademark of GE Plastics, a subsidiary of
General Electric Company.

APPLICATIONS
The FCM is used to switch 24 VDC audible/visual power,
high-level audio (speakers), or control telephone devices.
The FRM may be programmed to operate dry contacts for
door holders, Air Handling Unit shutdown, etc., and to re-
set four-wire smoke detector power.
CONSTRUCTION
• The face plate is made of off-white Noryl®.
• Controls include two rotary switches for direct-dial entry
of address (01-159).
• The FCM is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) or
Class A (Style Z) Notification Appliance Circuit.
• The FRM provides two Form-C dry contacts that switch
together.
OPERATION
Each FCM or FRM uses one of 159 possible module ad-
dresses on a SLC loop. It responds to regular polls from
the control panel and reports its type and status, including
the open/normal/short status of its Notification Appliance

Circuit (NAC). The LED blinks with each poll received. On
command, it activates its internal relay. The FCM super-
vises Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) notification or
control circuits.
Upon code command from the panel, the FCM will discon-
nect the supervision and connect the external power sup-
ply in the proper polarity across the load device. The dis-
connection of the supervision provides a positive indica-
tion to the panel that the control relay actually turned ON.
The external power supply is always relay isolated from
the communication loop so that a trouble condition on the
external power supply will never interfere with the rest of
the system.
Rotary switches set a unique address for each module.
The address may be set before or after mounting. The
built-in TYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the module
to the control panel, so as to differentiate between a mod-
ule and a sensor address.
A built-in magnetic test switch is provided to simulate a
short circuit on the NAC to test the FCM-1.

NOTES regarding AUDIO AMPLIFIER in Figures 3 & 4 above.
1) Audio circuit wiring must be twisted-pair as a minimum. See NOTIFIER installation manual for detailed information.
2) When a 70.7 V audio amplifier is used, terminals 1 and 2 are power limited, while terminals 3 through 9 are non-power limited. In
this case, the CB500 barrier is required. Otherwise, all terminal wiring is power limited. The CB500 includes a label indicating which
terminals are non-power limited. This label MUST BE PLACED adjacent to the nameplate label, which is on the module housing.
