Description
Each FCM-1 Control Module uses one of 159* possible mod-
ule addresses on a SLC loop. It responds to regular polls
from the control unit and reports its type and status, including
the open/normal/short status of its Notification Appliance
Circuit (NAC) or Releasing Appliance Circuit (RAC). The
LED blinks with each poll received. On command, it activates
its internal relay. The FCM-1 supervises Class B (Style Y) or
Class A (Style Z) notification or control circuits. The FCM-1
can be used to replace the CMX-2 module, Part No. 417479,
in existing systems.
