• Always disconnect power from the fire alarm control panel before installing, servicing, or removing the module.
• Ensure all connections are secure and correct to prevent system faults or improper operation.
• This module is part of a life safety system. Any modifications or improper installation can compromise the system's integrity and effectiveness.

3. פּראָדוקט איבערview

The Notifier FCM-1REL is an addressable control module specifically designed for releasing applications within a FlashScan intelligent fire alarm system. It allows the FACP to activate releasing devices, such as solenoids for sprinkler systems or pre-action valves, based on programmed alarm conditions.

שליסל פֿעיִקייטן:

• Addressable communication with FlashScan compatible FACPs.
• Designed for releasing אַפּליקאַציעס.
• Monitors and controls external devices.

קאַמפּאָונאַנץ:

The module consists of a circuit board housed within a durable plastic casing, designed for mounting in a standard electrical box. It features terminal blocks for wiring connections to the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) and the releasing device circuit.

4. סעטאַפּ און ייַנמאָנטירונג

The FCM-1REL module is designed for mounting in a standard 4-inch square electrical box. Ensure adequate space for wiring and proper ventilation.

ינסטאַלירונג סטעפּס:

1. מאַכט דיסקאַנעקשאַן: Before beginning installation, ensure all power to the fire alarm control panel and associated circuits is disconnected.
2. מאָונטינג: Mount the FCM-1REL module securely into a compatible electrical box using the provided screws.
3. וויירינג:
   • Connect the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wires to the designated terminals (e.g., T1, T2). Observe polarity.
   • Connect the releasing device circuit wires to the appropriate output terminals (e.g., T7, T8). Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your application.
   • Connect auxiliary power (if required) to the designated terminals (e.g., T10, T11).
   • Ensure all connections are tight and insulation is intact.
4. אַדרעס באַשטעטיקן: Set the module's address using the rotary switches or dip switches (if present) according to the FACP's programming requirements.
5. וועראַפאַקיישאַן: After wiring, verify all connections are correct and secure before restoring power.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

The Notifier FCM-1REL module operates under the control of a compatible FlashScan fire alarm control panel (FACP). Its primary function is to receive commands from the FACP to activate connected releasing devices.

נאָרמאַל אָפּעראַציע:

In a normal state, the module continuously monitors its connected releasing circuit and communicates its status to the FACP. The FACP will indicate a normal condition for the module's address.

רעלעasing Operation:

Upon receiving a release command from the FACP (triggered by programmed alarm conditions), the FCM-1REL will activate its output circuit, energizing the connected releasing device (e.g., solenoid). This action initiates the release of the fire suppression agent.

סטאַטוס ינדיקאַטאָרס:

The module may feature an LED indicator (check specific model documentation) that provides visual status:

• נאָרמאַל: Flashing green (typical).
• Alarm/Active: Solid red (typical).
• צרה: Flashing amber (typical).

6. וישאַלט

Regular maintenance is crucial for the reliable operation of the FCM-1REL module and the overall fire alarm system.

רעקאַמענדיד וישאַלט:

• וויסואַל דורכקוק: Periodically inspect the module for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or environmental issues (e.g., moisture, excessive dust).
• סיסטעם טעסטינג: Conduct regular system tests as required by local codes and manufacturer guidelines. This includes testing the functionality of the releasing circuit controlled by the FCM-1REL.
• רייניקונג: If necessary, gently clean the module's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• דאָקומענטאַטיאָן: Keep accurate records of all inspections, tests, and maintenance performed.

Always refer to the fire alarm control panel's manual and relevant NFPA standards for comprehensive system maintenance procedures.

7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If the FCM-1REL module or the associated releasing circuit reports a trouble condition to the FACP, follow these general troubleshooting steps:

• Check FACP Display: Note the specific trouble message displayed on the fire alarm control panel. This often provides valuable diagnostic information.
• דורכקוקן די וויירינג: Power down the FACP and visually inspect all wiring connections to the FCM-1REL module and the connected releasing device. Look for loose wires, damaged insulation, or incorrect polarity.
• באַשטעטיקן מאַכט: Ensure that the module is receiving adequate power (if auxiliary power is used).
• מאָדולע אַדרעס: Confirm that the module's address is correctly set and matches the FACP programming.
• Consult FACP Manual: Refer to the fire alarm control panel's installation and programming manual for specific troubleshooting guides related to addressable modules and releasinג קרייזן.
• פאַכמאַן הילף: If the trouble persists after performing basic checks, contact a qualified fire alarm technician or Notifier technical support for further assistance.
