The FCM-1-REL Releasing Control Module is specifically
designed for fire suppression releasing applications in FlashScan® systems. Power to the release agent solenoid(s) runs
through the module for full-time monitoring and supervision.
The FCM-1-REL Releasing Control Module uses a redundant protocol; the module must be armed with a pair of signals in order to activate. It will then enter a 3-second window
awaiting a pair of confirmation signals. If no confirmation is
received, the module will automatically reset. It also supervises the wiring to the connected load and reports the status
to the panel as NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. The
module has two pairs of output termination points available
for fault-tolerant wiring and a panel-controlled LED indicator.
The module may be connected to either one 24VDC solenoid
or up to two 12VDC solenoids (in series). To ensure proper
operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
Notifier system control panel only (list available from Notifier).
In addition, please refer to Notifier Device Compatibility Doc-
ument PN 15378 for the list of compatible solenoids.
NOTE: FCM-1-REL is required for all new FlashScan-mode
releasing applications with NFS2-3030 (version 14.0 or higher),
NFS2-640 (version 12.0 or higher) and NFS-320(E)(C) (version
12.0 or higher) panels. Use FCM-1 for releasing applications on
NFS-640, NFS-3030, and all CLIP mode panels.
