General Description
Before installing this module panel, please thoroughly read
the system wiring and installation manuals. Also be aware
of the appropriate local and national standards and codes
of practice for the placement and installation of control
panels.
The MB500 Module Panel is for use with any listed enclo-
sure suitable for fire-protection signaling applications. It
Specifications
PANEL (Figures 1A and 1B) MODULE (sold separately; Figure 1C)
Depth: 2.17 inches (5.51 cm) Depth: 1.50 inches (3.81 cm)
Height: 6.13 inches (15.57 cm) Height: 2.70 inches (6.86 cm)
Width: 20.18 inches (51.26 cm) Width: 2.82 inches (7.16 cm)
Operating Temperature Range: 32°to 120°F (0°to 49°C)
Operating Humidity Range: 10% to 93% relative humidity, noncondensing
Construction of Bracket: 16-gauge galvanized steel
provides a platform for the installation of up to 8 (two rows
of 4) standard monitor and/or control modules. Wiring and
mounting requirements of the modules are reduced by us-
ing the MB500.
The MB500 will support any combination of monitor and
control modules on one panel, but a combination of power-
limited and nonpower-limited modules is NOT permitted.
The monitor and control modules used with the MB500
meet the same electrical specifications as the individual
M500MB, M500CH, and M502M.

Mounting
1) Select the desired mounting location in a cabinet and
measure the mounting hole centers. The MB500 is
equipped with 3 sets of mounting holes for use depend-
ing on the mounting configuration:
A) 19 inch EIA standard with 18.312 inch (46.5 cm) cen-
ter-to-center mounting holes for horizontal mounting
B) 19.5 inch (49.5 cm) center-to-center mounting holes
for horizontal mounting
C) 5 inch (12.7 cm) center-to-center mounting holes for
vertical mounting
2) Hold the MB500 in place, mark the appropriate set of
mounting holes, and drill holes (if needed) in the
mounting surface.
3) Drive screws in place, allowing room for the MB500 to
slide over the screw heads.
4) Tighten screws to secure the MB500 to the mounting
surface.
WARNING
Remove power before installing modules and wiring the
MB500 panel.
Address Verification
Before installing the modules onto the panel, use the label
in position A (see Figure 3A) to record the type for each
module. Circle C (control) or M (monitor) to indicate the
type of module and record the address on the space pro-
vided.
Module Mounting
Before placing the individual modules onto the MB500, re-
move the terminal screws on the modules and break off the
"ears" at the scored section on the module junction box
mounting plate (see Figure 3B). Now the modules can be
plugged into the board. Line up the clips mounted on the

Wiring Installation
Once the control and/or monitor modules have been
plugged in, begin wiring the panel. Field wiring is com-
pleted using screw terminals accessible from the 6-inch
long sides of the MB500. The seven-position screw termi-
nals accept 14- to 22-gauge wire and are two-tiered for easy
wiring. A two-position screw terminal block is used for the
common power wiring that exists between the modules
and accepts 12- to 18-gauge wire.

Make wire connections by stripping about 1/4inch (0.64
cm) of insulation from the end of the wire. Connect the
communication line to terminals 1 and 2. For specific mod-
ule wiring, match the module location to the correct termi-
nal strip. Refer to the control and/or monitor module
instruction manual for specific application wiring.
NOTE: The communication circuit to all modules is desig-
nated power limited. The remaining circuits must
be wired as either all power limited or all
nonpower limited. Refer to marking on individual
modules.
NOTE: When wiring modules for nonpower-limited appli-
cations, the wires to terminals 3-9 on each terminal
strip must be bundled together with wire ties and
routed through conduit, keeping them separated
from communication lines 1 and 2 (comm. - and
comm. +) by a minimum of 1/4inch at all points
(see Figures 5A and 5B). Communication line 1
and 2 wiring must also be routed through its own
conduit.
