Control Module
Intelligent/Addressable Devices
General
The FCM-1 Addressable Control Module
provides Notifier intelligent fire alarm
control panels a circuit for Notification
Appliances (horns, strobes, speakers, etc.)
Addressability allows the FCM-1 to be
activated, either manually or through panel
programming, on a select (zone or area of
coverage) basis.
Features
• Built-in type identification automatically
identifies these devices to the control
panel. CLIP loops). It responds to regular polls
• Internal circuitry and relay powered from the control panel and reports its type
directly by two-wire SLC loop. The FCM-1 and status, including the
module requires power (for horns, open/normal/short status of its
strobes, etc.), or audio (for speakers). Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). The

Applications
The FCM-1 is used to switch 24 VDC Rotary switches set a unique address for
