Fire Alarm System Limitations
An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up
of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull
stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm
control with remote notification capability–can provide
early warning of a developing fire. Such a system,
however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or
heat detectors be located throughout a protected
premise following the recommendations of the current
edition of the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no
charge to all installing dealers. A study by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency
of the United States government) indicated that
smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of
all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to
provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm
system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or
simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke
cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or
behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed
doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on
another level or floor of a building. A second-floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or
basement fire.
Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke
detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors,
walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and
not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns
before reaching the detector.
The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to
alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are
designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density.
If such density levels are not created by a developing
fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not
go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have
sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering
fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible
smoke.
Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers
tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering
fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are
often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of
detector is necessarily best and a given type of
detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide
adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children
playing with matches (especially in bedrooms),
smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, etc.).
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance
rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion
and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases
at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined
level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to
reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the
rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested
at least once per year by a qualified fire protection
specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect
property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in
the same room as the control panel and in rooms
used by the system for the connection of alarm
transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or
power. If detectors are not so located, a developing
fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability
to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert
people if these devices are located on the other side
of closed or partly open doors or are located on
another floor of a building. Any warning device may
fail to alert people with a disability or those who have
recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication.
Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause
seizures in people with conditions such as
epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even
when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond
or
comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the
property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills
and other training exercise to make people aware
of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the
proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device
can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any
electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will
operate from standby batteries only for a specified
time and only if the batteries have been properly
maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be
technically compatible with the control. It is essential
to use only equipment listed for service with your
control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals
from a premise to a central monitoring station may be
out of service or temporarily disabled. For added
protection against telephone line failure, backup radio
transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire
alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing
maintenance is required per the manufacturer's
recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a
minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72
shall be followed. Environments with large amounts
of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent
maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be
arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and
should be performed by authorized professional fire
alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all
inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions
WARNING - Several different sources of power can
be connected to the fire alarm control panel.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing.
Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or
interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do
not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until
this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To ensure proper system operation,
this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA
72 Chapter 7 after any programming operation or
change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion
of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must
be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other
operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10%
of initiating devices that are not directly affected by
the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must
also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation

85% RH (non-condensing) at 30°
the useful life of the system's standby batteries and
the electronic components may be adversely affected
by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all
peripherals be installed in an environment with a
nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating
and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot
tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified
device voltage.
and at a relative humidity of
C/86° F. However,
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system
may operate erratically or can be damaged when
subjected to lightning-induced transients. Although no
system is completely immune from lightning transients
and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not
recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to
nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical
Services Department if any problems are anticipated
or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to
removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so
can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any
drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure.
When possible, make all cable entries from the sides
or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they
will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed
circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in
reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with
screw terminal removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains
static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself
with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits
so that static charges are removed from the body.
Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic
assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating,
and programming manuals. These instructions must
be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation by authorized
personnel.

1. Introduction
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
information.
The ACM-8RF Relay Control Module may be
used in combination with the following
products on the same EIA-485 bus circuit:
• AFM/ACM Series LED annunciators
• LDM Series graphic annunciators
• UDACT-F (Universal Digital Alarm Communicator/Transmitter)
• LED-10 Annunciator
EIA-485 bus compatible accessories are designed to provide maximum
flexibility to system configurations. Examples include multiple remote LED
annunciators with customized labels per corresponding area or function,
multiple remote graphic annunciators that illustrate building layout and floor
plans, remote DACTs for strategic mounting location near telephone
equipment plus remote high current switching relays for such purposes as fan
and damper control, elevator recall and door releasing.

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.

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 EIA485 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.

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 V
power circuits.
Note: Never use the EIA-485 shield for grounding purposes. Terminate the EIA-485
shield at the Fire Alarm Control Panel only.

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 nonpowerlimited 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.

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 Nonpowerlimited circuit. (Refer to the example on the label).

Power Requirements
Each ACM-8RF relay module must be accounted for in the power calculations
outlined in the respective FACP installation manual. The ACM-8RF draws its
power from the control panel and must be considered when calculating the
primary and secondary power supply requirements for the system. However,
if the current draw dedicated to the ACM-8RF must be calculated as a separate
figure (in cases where a separate UL listed power source is used), use the
equations below:
Standby Current
Number of ACM-8RF modules [ ] X 0.030 = [ ] amps
Alarm Current
1.) Number of ACM-8RF modules [ ] X 0.030 = [ ] amps
2.) Maximum number of relays which
can be activated simultaneously

configuration and programming.

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
Sequence and for Process Monitoring.
• ACM-8RF Relays will not activate
Retard and Reset periods.
• ACM-8RF Relays will return to normal
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.

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

Capabilities
When installed with an MS-9200 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), the ACM8RF 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

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 ACM8RFs 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 FAC P 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 o f FACP z ones 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 ACM8RF 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

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.
