M300(A) MONITOR MODULE, C304(A) CONTROL MODULE, AND
I300(A) FAULT ISOLATOR MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to the appropriate Fire-Lite control panel installation manual for detailed system information. If the modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service. Disconnect power to the control panel before installing the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
M300(A) MONITOR MODULES provide a two-wire, or fault-tolerant, initiating circuit for normally open contact fire alarm and supervisory devices, or either normally open or normally closed security devices. The LED indicator can be latched on or returned to the normal mode by code command from the panel. Rotary decade switches are used to set the address of each module.
C304(A) CONTROL MODULES allow a compatible control panel to switch discrete contacts by code command. The control module offers a status LED that can be latched on or returned to the normal mode by code command from the panel. Rotary decade switches are used to set the address of each module.

The control module offers two modes of switching operation. As shipped, the module is configured for switching an external power source to notification ap-
pliances. The external power source can be a DC power supply or an audio amplifier (up to 70.7 Vrms). In this mode, the module reports supervision status of the connected loads to the control panel. Load circuit status is reported as a normal, open, or shorted circuit. Two pairs of output termination points are available for fault-tolerant wiring. The second mode of switching operation allows the panel to control one Form-C (SPDT) set of contacts. Circuit connections to the contacts are not supervised by the module. This mode is enabled by breaking two external tabs on the module.
I300(A) FAULT ISOLATOR MODULES enable part of the communications loop to continue operating when a short circuit occurs on it. An LED indicator blinks in the normal condition and turns on during a short circuit condition. The module will automatically restore the entire communications loop to the normal condition when the short circuit is removed. (The isolator module does not have decade switches.)
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To insure proper operation, these modules must be connected to addressable,
MOUNTING M300(A), C304(A), AND I300(A) DEVICES
M300(A), C304(A), and I300(A) modules mount directly to 4 inch square electrical boxes as shown in Figure 2A. The box must have a min. depth of 21 /8".
WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations. When using control modules in nonpower limited applications, the CB500 Module Barrier must be used to meet UL requirements for the separation of power-limited and nonpower-limited terminals and wiring. The barrier must be inserted in a 4"x4"x21 /8" junction box, and the control module must be placed into the barrier and attached to the junction box (Figure 2A). The power-limited wiring must be placed into the isolated quadrant of the module barrier (Figure 2B).
1.Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams (Figures 3 - 10).
2.Set the address on the M300 and C304 per job drawings. Record this address and loop on the front of the module, if desired.
3.Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer), as shown in Figure 2A.
M300(A) MAGNET TEST
The M300(A) Monitor module can be tested with Fire-Lite's M02-04-01 Test Magnet (see Figure 1). The magnet test checks the module electronics and connections to the control panel. Interfaced initiating and indicating devices must be tested independently.
