General
The ACM-8RF Relay Control Module contains eight high current (5 amps)
Form-C relays. The module interfaces to host Fire•Lite control panels which
employ an EIA-485 communications bus and may be connected to the bus up
to 6,000 feet away from the host control panel.
Typically, each relay is assigned to a zone on the
host fire alarm control panel. The relays may be
triggered by either a zone alarm (activation) or
zone trouble. The relays may also take on
special functions depending upon the host
panel. Refer to the Appendices for additional FF O

Relays
The Relay Control Module provides eight Form-C relays with 5 amp contacts
@ 125 VAC (resistive) or 30 VDC (resistive) and 2 amps at 125 VAC
inductive). The relay contacts are gold plated silver alloy for medium duty
switching and are not intended for motor control or pilot duty. Wiring to the
relays is via sturdy removable terminal blocks.

24 VDC Power and Earth Ground

Wiring to removable terminal block TB1 is for 24 VDC power-limited,
regulated, nonresettable power from the host FACP or a compatible UL listed
battery backed power supply such as the Fire•Lite FCPS-24F. This terminal
block may be used to daisy chain the 24 VDC to other ACM-8RFs or EIA-485
Fire•Lite compatible devices.

8 ACM-8RF PN 50362:C 03/21/01

Related Documentation 1. Introduction
EIA-485 Communications
Wiring to removable terminal block TB2 is for communications over the EIA-
485 bus. The bus carries commands and data sent between the host FACP and
ACM-8RFs. The EIA-485 circuit is power-limited. The host FACP supervises
devices wired to the EIA-485 bus.
A maximum of 32 ACM-8RFs may be connected to the FACPs EIA-485 bus,
but if other types of devices are also connected to the bus, the maximum
number of ACM-8RFs must be reduced by the total of such devices.

Address Switches
Two rotary BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) switches, located on the lower right
of the module, are used to set the ACM-8RF system address. SW1 represents
the 'tens' position and SW2 represents the 'ones' position of the address setting.

Relay Function Selection

DIP switch SW3 is used to program the assignment of each ACM-8RF relay
to either a zone function (such as zone alarm or zone trouble triggering) or to
a system function (such as system alarm, system trouble, system supervisory,
signal silence, pre-alarm or AC fail). Be certain to review the Appendices for
information on SW3 switch settings for specific FACPs and the operation and
options available to each host FACP.

Mode Selection
DIP switch SW4 is used to set the mode of operation for the ACM-8RF as
follows:
• #1 sets Alarm activation or Alarm/Trouble activation mode.
• #2 sets Receive or Receive/Transmit mode.

Mounting the Enclosure.

Select and remove the appropriate knockout(s) on the ABS-8RF enclosure.
Securely mount the enclosure.
Ground the enclosure to a solid electrical ground per NEC Article 250.
Pull all wiring into the enclosure (refer to "UL Power-limited Wiring
Requirements" on page 17).

Wiring the Power Terminal Blocks

24 VDC power supplied by the host control panel or external power supply
must be regulated and power-limited. This power is inherently supervised (loss
of power also results in a communication failure at the control panel).
• Limit the total wire resistance to 10 ohms.
• Connect 24 VDC power from FACP or Power Supply to TB1-3 (+)
and TB1-4 (–).
• Connect earth ground (TB1-1 EARTH) to a mounting screw on the
backbox or cabinet.

Wiring the EIA-485 Terminal Blocks 2. Installation
Wiring the EIA-485 Terminal Blocks
Communications between the Fire Alarm Control Panel and the ACM-8RF is
accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial communications bus which must
be power-limited. Communications between the host FACP and ACM-8RFs
is supervised by the fire alarm control panel.

Wiring Specifications
• The EIA-485 circuit cannot be T-tapped; it must be wired in a
continuous fashion from the control panel to the ACM-8RFs.
• The maximum wiring distance between the panel and ACM-8RFs is
6,000 feet.
• The wiring must be a 18 AWG to 14 AWG twisted shielded pair cable
having a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms, +/- 20%.
• Limit the total wire resistance to 100 ohms.
• Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 volts AC
service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or
horns, audio circuits above 25 VRMS, motor control circuits, or SCR
power circuits.
Note: Never use the EIA-485 shield for grounding purposes. Terminate the EIA-485
shield at the Fire Alarm Control Panel only.

• Switch #1 set to the OFF position will cause the ACM-8RF relays to
trigger for FACP zone alarm and zone trouble activation.
• Switch #2 set to the ON position places the ACM-8RF in 'Receive
only' mode. In this mode, the ACM-8RF does not transmit
information back to the host FACP.
• Switch #2 set to the OFF position places the ACM-8RF in 'Receive/
Transmit' mode. In this mode, the ACM-8RF will transmit
supervisory data back to the FACP. The FACP will use this data to
acknowledge that the ACM-8RF is properly communicating.
Note: It is essential that ACM-8RFs and any other devices wired to the EIA-485 bus
and set to the same address not be programmed for receive/transmit mode. Only one
EIA-485 device per address may be set for receive/transmit.

Mounting in the ABS-8RF Enclosure

Place the ACM-8RF in the ABS-8RF backbox. Align the two captive screws
on the top of the relay module and the two mounting holes on the bottom of
the relay module with the standoffs on the backbox.
Note: A solid earth ground connection must be made to one of the top mounting
screws in order to provide transient and lightning protection.

Secure with captive screws at top and with two loose screws at bottom. Plug
all terminal blocks into their respective sockets. Place and secure faceplate to
backbox.

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements 2. Installation
UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements
Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in
the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away
from any nonpower-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited
circuit wiring and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the
cabinet through different knockouts and/or conduits. A typical wiring diagram
for the ACM-8RF is shown below. In this diagram, relays K1 through K4 are
being used for power-limited circuits and relays K5 through K8 for nonpower-
limited circuits. Different applications may require different conduit
knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used provided that the
nonpower-limited wiring remain separated from the power-limited wiring.

Figure 12 Typical Wiring Diagram

Requirements for power-limited and nonpower-limited circuits on the same
ACM-8RF module are as follows:
1. If a mix of power-limited and nonpower- limited circuits are connected
to relays, skip a set of dry contacts to maintain 0.25" spacing between
power-limited and nonpower-limited circuits.
2. If only power-limited or nonpower-limited circuits are being employed,
all relays may be used without skipping any for spacing purposes.
3. Relays K1 through K4 may be used to run all power-limited circuits
while K5 through K8 are being used to run all non-power-limited
circuits.
4. Refer to the Power-limited label located on the FACP door. Make a
notation on the label for each circuit being employed as a Nonpower-
limited circuit. (Refer to the example on the label).

Capabilities
When installed with an MS-5210UD Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), the
ACM-8RF Relay Control Modules provide relay activation for each of the ten
FACP zones plus special functions. Options exist to allow for alarm only or
alarm and trouble activations per zone. Output activation for General Alarm,
general trouble, general Supervisory, NAC Fault, AC Fail, System Off Normal,
Walktest start and Battery Trouble are also available. Up to 32 ACM-8RF
Relay Control Modules may be placed onto the EIA-485 communication bus
(if no other devices are installed on the bus).
CAUTION: It is vitally important that, following relay programming, all
relays be tested for correct activation by triggering zones and/or special
functions at the FACP. It should also be noted:
• ACM-8RF Relays will activate during the Alarm Pre-signal
Sequence and for Process Monitoring.
• ACM-8RF Relays will not activate during the Alarm Verification
Retard and Reset periods.
• ACM-8RF Relays will return to normal if a zone is set for
autoresettable operation.

Appendix A: MS-5210UD FACP Activations
FACP Activations
DIP switch SW3 on the ACM-8RF Relay Control Module is used to determine
which FACP activations will trigger relays on the Relay Control Module.
When installed with an MS-5210UD Fire Alarm Control Panel, use the
following tables to set SW3 switches. Note that two tables are provided; one
table for alarm only operation (SW4-1 = ON) and one table for alarm and
trouble operation (SW4-1 = OFF).
Alarm Only Activation
Table 4 provides the switch settings for ACM-8RF DIP switch SW3 when
configuring the relays to trigger for alarm activation only. Note that a
maximum of three ACM-8RFs are required if one relay is to be designated to
trigger on any FACP alarm. If a general system alarm relay is not required, two
ACM-8RFs may be used to allow individual relay triggering for activation of
FACP zones 1 through 10. When using only two ACM-8RFs, be sure to use
the switch settings for the 2nd and 3rd ACM-8RF in Table 4. Refer to "Relay
Assignment DIP Switch - SW3" on page 15 for information on setting DIP
switch SW3.

Application Example #1
Zone Alarm Only Activation (no system status relays)
Program the MS-5210UD at Level 3 addresses 02 - 03 for the proper address
setting. The address selected must be the highest or maximum address value
selected on any annunciator or ACM-8RF connected to the EIA-485 port.
(Refer to the Programming Section of the MS-5210UD Instruction Manual).
For this example, only one relay per zone is required and the ACM-8RFs are
the only devices on the EIA-485 bus. Since only ACM-8RFs occupy the bus,
the address setting for them should be switch SW1 = 0 and switch SW2 = 1.
Enter this address into the MS-5210UD Level 3 addresses 02 - 03.
Since each ACM-8RF module contains eight relays, two ACM-8RF modules
are required for 10 zones. Refer to the following chart for switch settings:

Capabilities
When installed with an MS-9200 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), the ACM-
8RF Relay Control Modules provide relay activation (alarm only or alarm/
trouble) for each of the 56 FACP zones. Output activation for System Alarm,
System Trouble, Alarm Silence, Walktest, Supervisory, NAC Fault, Battery
Trouble and AC Fail are also available. Up to 32 ACM-8RF Relay Control
Modules may be placed onto the EIA-485 communication bus (if no other
devices are installed on the bus).

Testing
It is vitally important that, following relay programming, all relays be tested
for correct activation by triggering zones and/or special functions at the FACP.
It should also be noted:
• ACM-8RF relays will activate during the Alarm Pre-signal Sequence.
• ACM-8RF relays will not activate during the Alarm Verification
Retard and Reset periods.

FACP Activations
DIP switch SW3 on the ACM-8RF Relay Control Module is used to determine
which FACP activations will trigger relays on the ACM-8RF. Use the following
tables to set SW3 switches. The Address Select Rotary Switches on all ACM-
8RFs must be set to address ‘01’ (SW1 = 0, SW2 = 1).
Two tables are provided, one table for alarm only operation (SW4-1 = ON) and
one table for alarm and trouble operation (SW4-1 = OFF).
Alarm Only Activation
Table 10 provides the switch settings for ACM-8RF DIP switch SW3 when
configuring the relays to trigger for MS-9200 alarm activation only. A
maximum of eight ACM-8RFs are required if one relay is to be designated to
trigger on any FACP zone alarm. If a general system alarm relay is not required,
seven ACM-8RFs may be used to allow individual relay triggering for alarm
activation of FACP zones 1 through 56. When using seven ACM-8RFs, be sure
to use the switch settings for the 2nd through the eighth ACM-8RF in Table 10.

Capabilities
When installed with an MS-9600 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), the ACM-
8RF Relay Control Modules provide relay activation (alarm only or alarm/
trouble) for: each of the 99 FACP zones; the two NACs; each of the 159
modules and 159 detectors on both SLC loops. Output activation for System
Alarm, System Trouble, Alarm Silence, Walktest, Supervisory, NAC Fault,
Battery Trouble and AC Fail are also available. Up to 32 ACM-8RF Relay
Control Modules may be placed onto the EIA-485 communication bus (if no
other devices are installed on the bus).

Testing
It is vitally important that, following relay programming, all relays be tested
for correct activations by triggering zones, points and special functions at the
FACP. It should also be noted:
• ACM-8RF relays will activate during the Alarm Pre-signal Sequence.
• ACM-8RF relays will not activate during the Alarm Verification
Retard and Reset periods

Wiring
Wire the ACM-8RF to the MS-9600 control panel as shown below.

Setting the DIP Switches
The DIP switch (SW3), in combination with the Rotary Switches, is used to
determine which FACP activations will trigger relays on the ACM-8RF.
As described previously, the selection of “Alarm Only” or “Alarm/Trouble”
will determine how each module controls its relays. The difference between
these two settings is described below.

Alarm Only Activation

When “Alarm Only” is selected all relays respond to alarm signals.
The following table displays a dual example (zones & modules) of how to set
the DIP switches on two (2) ACM-8RFs to annunciate the zones or points of
an annunciator address. Although this table shows System Points & Zones 1
to 8 (address 01) and Loop 1, Points M65 to M80 (address 05), by referring to
Table 13 on page 38 it can be determined which ACM-8RF will activate what
zone or point, depending on the address that is set on the rotary switches.
