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 opera-
tor and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service. Dis-
connect power to the control panel before installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FCM-1A Supervised Control Modules are intended for use in intelligent, two-
wire systems, where the individual address of each module is selected using
the built-in rotary switches. This module is used to switch an external power
supply, which can be a listed, regulated, supervised, power-limited DC power
supply or an audio amplifier (up to 80 VRMS), to notification appliances. It
also supervises the wiring to the connected loads and reports their status
to the panel as NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. The FCM-1A has
two pairs of output termination points available for fault-tolerant wiring and a
panel-controlled LED indicator. This module can be used to replace a CMX-2
module that has been configured for supervised wiring operation.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
NOTIFIER system control panels only (list available from NOTIFIER).
MOUNTING
The FCM-1A mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes. (See
Figure 2A.) The box must have a minimum depth of 2
Surface mounted electrical boxes (SMB500 Series) are available. The module
can also mount to the DNRA / DNRW duct housing.

WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and
regulations. The CB500 Module Barrier must be used to meet ULC require-
ments for the separation of extra-low-voltage and low-voltage terminals and
wiring. The barrier must be inserted into a 4" × 4" × 2
× 54 mm) junction box, and the control module must be placed into the bar-
rier and attached to the junction box. (See Figure 2A.) The extra-low-voltage
wiring must be placed into the isolated quadrant of the module barrier. (See
Figure 2B.)
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropri-
ate wiring diagrams.
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer). (See Figure 2A.)
Wire should be stripped to the appropriate length (recommended strip length
is 1 / " to 3 / ") (6 mm to 10 mm). Exposed conductor should be secured under
4 8
the clamping plate and should not protrude beyond the terminal block area.
CAUTION: Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to provide super-
vision of connections.
IMPORTANT: When using the FCM-1A for audio applications, remove
Jumper (J1) and discard. The Jumper is located on the back as shown in
Figure 1B.
J1 must be removed whenever power supply monitoring feature is not required.
