Notes:
1. Zone Relay Contact Ratings:
• Maximum Switched Power is 170W or 1800 VA
• Maximum Switched Current is 6 amps
• Maximum Switched Voltage is 30 VDC or 300 VAC
• UL Rating is 6 amps @ 28 VDC or 120/300 VAC
1/8 HP @ 120/240 VAC (100,000 CYC)
1.5/0.8 A @ 120/240 VAC
Pilot Duty is 30,000 CYC
• Contact Material is Silver Nickel, Gold Plated
2. Polarity Reversal Output: 24 VDC (nominal), 18.5 mA maximum rated current. Internal Resistance: 
1,200 ohms (nominal). Intended for connection to the polarity reversal circuit of a remote station 
receiving circuit (such as the Fire•Lite RS-82 Receiving Station) having compatible ratings. The 
RTM-8F is not suitable for separate transmission of both alarm and trouble signals simultaneously to 
a remote station. Output is power-limited and wiring can leave the building.
