BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to the con-
trol panel installation manual and the SLC Wireless Gateway 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 ser-
vice. 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
The FW-RM Relay Module is intended for use with a wireless gateway or wire-
less 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 accordance with the table
in this manual. A single relay module may be used to activate only one output device.
Two relay modules must be used in parallel to activate multiple devices such as a
NAC expander. Circuit connections to the relay are not supervised by the module.
The device communicates through a robust, bi-directional mesh network to the gate-
way and/or FACP. Rotary decade switches are provided for setting the module’s ad-
dress. The module has a panel controlled LED indicator. (Figure 1)
FACEPLATE
The faceplate includes a magnet for activation and tamper resistance (Figure 2). The
faceplate magnet activates communication to the panel, therefore, 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.
