CTM module wiring 
The CTM City Tie Module is an interface between the control panel notification 
appliance circuit and a master box. It provides off-premises signal transmission for 
systems that must comply with NFPA requirements for Auxiliary Protective Systems. 
The CTM activates a local energy fire alarm box. For detailed information and wiring, 
refer to the CTM Installation Sheet (P/N 3101025). 
Requirements 
When connecting a CTM to the panel, the following hardware and programming 
requirements must be met: 
•  The NAC used must be dedicated to CTM use only 
•  All alarm zones must be programmed to activate the dedicated NAC 
•  The NAC used must not be programmed for signal silence 
Wiring 
The following wiring diagrams show how the polarity switches during an alarm 
condition.
