BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to
the control panel installation manual and the SWIFT® Wireless 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 be-
fore installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FW-RM(A) Relay Module is intended for use with a wireless gateway or
wireless fire alarm control panel (FACP). It allows a compatible control panel
to switch discrete contacts by code command. The relay contains one isolated
set of Form-C contacts, which operate as a SPDT switch and are rated in ac-
cordance with the table in this manual. A single relay module may be used
to activate only one output device. Circuit connections to the relay are not

supervised by the module. The device communicates through a robust, bi-di-
rectional mesh network to the gateway and/or FACP. Rotary dial switches are
provided for setting the module's address. The module has a panel controlled
LED indicator. (See Figure 1.)
FACEPLATE
The faceplate includes a magnet for activation and tamper resistance. (See
Figure 2.) The faceplate magnet activates communication to the panel, there-
fore, the faceplate must be installed for the module to work properly. The
magnet also activates a supervisory tamper fault at the panel if the nameplate
is removed. Do NOT remove this magnet. The faceplate for a wireless module
CANNOT be replaced with the faceplate of a standard wired module.
