Before Installing
This information is included as a quick reference installation
guide. Refer to the control panel installation manual for detailed
system information. If the modules will be installed in an existing
operational system, inform the operator and local authority that
the system will be temporarily out of service. Disconnect power to
the control panel before installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this
equipment.
General Description
M500M Monitor Modules provide a two-wire, or fault-tolerant,
initiating circuit for normally open contact fire alarm and supervi-
sory devices, or either normally open or normally closed security
devices. The LED indicator can be latched on or returned to the
normal mode by code command from the panel. Convenient ro-
tary decade switches are used to set the address of each module.
M500CH Control Modules allow a compatible control panel to
switch discrete contacts by code command. The control module
has a status LED that can be latched on or returned to the normal
mode by code command from the panel. Rotary decade switches
are used to set the address of each module.
The control module offers two modes of switching operation. As
shipped, the module is configured for switching an external
power source to notification appliances. The external power
source can be a DC power supply or an audio amplifier (up to
70.7 Vrms). In this mode, the module reports supervision status of
the connected loads to the control panel. Load circuit status is re-
ported as a NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORTED circuit. Two pairs of
output termination points are available for fault-tolerant wiring.
The second mode of switching operation allows the panel to con-
trol one Form-C (SPDT) set of contacts. Circuit connections to the
contacts are not supervised by the module. This mode is enabled
by breaking two external tabs on the module.
Compatibility Requirements
To insure proper operation, these modules shall be connected to
listed compatible system control panels only.
Mounting M500M and M500CH Devices
M500M and M500CH modules mount directly to 4" square electri-
cal boxes as shown in Figure 2A. The box must have a minimum
depth of 21 /8".
Wiring
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordi-
nances and regulations. When using control modules in
nonpower limited applications, the System Sensor CB500
Module Barrier must be used to meet UL requirements
for the separation of power-limited and nonpower-lim-
ited terminals and wiring. The barrier must be inserted
in a 4"x4"x21 /8" junction box, and the control module
Figure 1. Monitor and control module controls and
indicators:
Figure 2A. Module mounting with barrier:
must be placed into the barrier and attached to the junc-
tion box (Figure 2A). The power-limited wiring must be
placed into the isolated quadrant of the module barrier
(Figure 2B).
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and
appropriate wiring diagrams (Figures 3 - 9).
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer), as
shown in Figure 2A.
Magnet Test
The monitor and control modules can be tested with a test mag-
net available from System Sensor (M02-04-01, see Figure 1). The
magnet test checks the module electronics and connections to the
control panel. Interfaced initiating and indicating devices must be
tested independently.

Figure 9. Control module in relay output mode:
WARNING
Control Module switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open). Contacts may have transferred to the activated state (closed)
during shipping.
The module utilizes a mechanical latching-type relay that can change states due to shock or jarring. The control panel controls this re-
lay with “STANDBY” and “ALARM” control commands. To insure that the switch contacts are in the standby state, control modules
must be made to communicate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
