FRM-1 Relay Control Module
BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to
the appropriate Notifier control panel installation manual for detailed system
information. If the modules will be installed in an existing operational sys-
tem, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be tempo-
rarily out of service. 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 FRM-1 Relay Control Module is intended for use in intelligent, two-wire
systems where the individual address of each module is selected using the
built-in rotary switches. It allows a compatible control panel to switch discrete
contacts by code command. The relay contains two isolated sets of Form-C
contacts, which operate as a DPDT switch and are rated in accordance with
the table in the manual. Circuit connections to the relay contacts are not su-
pervised by the module. The module also has a panel controlled LED indi-
cator. This module can be used to replace a CMX-2 module that has been
configured for Form-C operation.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
Notifier system control panel (list available from Notifier).

MOUNTING
The FRM-1 mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes (see Figure 2A).
The box must have a minimum depth of 2
1
/8 inches. Surface mounted electri-
cal boxes (SMB500) are available from Notifier. The module can also mount to
the DNR(W) duct housing.

WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and reg-
ulations. When using control modules in nonpower limited applications, the
CB500 Module Barrier must be used to meet UL requirements for the separa-
tion of power-limited and nonpower-limited terminals and wiring. The barrier
must be inserted into a 4˝ × 4˝ × 2
1
/8˝ junction box, and the control module
must be placed into the barrier and attached to the junction box (Figure 2A).
The power-limited wiring must be placed into the isolated quadrant of the
module barrier (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
/4“ to
3
/8”). Exposed conductor should be secured under the clamping plate
and should not protrude beyond the terminal block area. Caution: Do not loop
wire under terminals. Break wire run to provide supervision of connections.
