FCM-1 Control Module

  • FCM-1(A) Control Module: The FCM-1(A) Addressable Control Module provides Notifier intelligent fire alarm control panels a circuit for Notification Appliances (horns, strobes, speakers, etc.). Addressability allows the FCM-1(A) to be activated, either manually or through panel programming, on a select (zone or area of coverage) basis.

  • 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-1(A) module requires power (for horns, strobes, etc.), or audio (for speakers).
  • Integral LED “blinks” green each time a communication is received from the control panel and turns on in steady red when activated.
  • LED blink may be deselected globally (affects all devices).
  • High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).
  • The FCM-1(A) may be used to switch 24-volt NAC power, audio (up to 70.7 Vrms).
  • Wide viewing angle of LED.
  • SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.
  • Direct-dial entry of address 01– 159 for FlashScan loops, 01 – 99 for CLIP mode loops.
  • Speaker, and audible/visual applications may be wired for Class B or A (Style Y or Z).
  • The FCM-1(A) is configured for a single Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) Notification Appliance Circuit.
