How to Use the Assembly/Model
Application
The Model 12579-003 Monitored Relay Module (MRM) is a Snaptrack module designed for use in the
SmartSeries systems. GAI-Tronics uses the MRM to provide a maximum of eight independently
controlled relay-contact outputs. Each of the eight relay-contact outputs has an associated LED to
indicate its current status. These relay-contact outputs are typically used to switch power to signaling
devices, such as beacons, on command from the 69254 Series or 69440 Series Master Control Unit
(MCU).
The MRM also provides the capability of supervising the cable runs to these signaling devices for such
abnormal conditions as open-circuit conditions, ground faults, and wire-to-wire short circuit conditions.
In addition, if fewer than eight relay-contact outputs are needed for a particular application, then the
MRM may also be used to receive inputs from field devices. The MRM is comprised of three main
components: the 69613-001Central Processing Unit (CPU) printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), the
69252-001 Power Relay Module, and the 69251-201 Monitored-In-8 PCBA.
The MRM is designed to be mounted in a Snaptrack that is installed in an enclosure. Snaptrack is a
grooved plastic channel designed to allow PCBAs to securely ‘snap’ into the groove. The Snaptrack
provides flexible installation because the track may be installed inside an enclosure wherever it is
convenient.
The MRM communicates with the MCU via the 69613-001 CPU PCBA over a FSK modem intended for
use in GAI-Tronics SmartSeries systems. This FSK link (page line) is periodically monitored by the
MCU for any interruptions in communication. The MCU uses this communication channel to control
activation/de-activation of the MRM’s relay-contact outputs. In turn, the MRM uses this communication
channel to report to the MCU any cable run fault conditions that are detected. The MCU identifies a
particular MRM on this FSK link by its module address. This module address is set by rotary hex switch
S1 and S2 of the MRM (located on the CPU PCBA.) The range of valid settings is from 05 to FE (hex).

Installation Guidelines
1. Notify plant personnel of a system shutdown prior to servicing the unit.
2. Disconnect power before installing or removing the MRM.
Mounting
To install the module into the Snaptrack, slide either the right or left edge of the module into the top
groove on the track. On the opposite side, press firmly on the top and bottom corners of the module until
they snap into the groove. Carefully press from each corner toward the center and simultaneously snap
the edges firmly into place.
Power
After the MRM is installed onto the Snaptrack, 12 V dc power is brought in from the auxiliary power
supply and terminated on TB9 (PWR IN). The positive leg is connected to TB9-1(+) and the return leg is
landed on TB9-2(−). An earth ground is connected to TB9-3 (EGND). TB9 is paralleled with TB10.
TB10 (PWR OUT) may be used to distribute power to additional Snaptrack modules.
OTES:
N
Although power may be daisy-chained between MRMs and other Snaptrack modules, the preferred
method of delivering power to these modules is by providing a dedicated cable run between each
module and the auxiliary power supply.
The auxiliary power supply return leg must be connected to earth ground for proper operation. The
physical connection should be made at the auxiliary power supply terminals.
The ground reference for this assembly must be identical to that of the enclosure.
The MRM does not contain any current-limiting for power. It is recommended that an external fuse
be provided with the appropriate voltage and current ratings. The selected fuse should be of the
slo-blo variety.
Data Communication Line
Terminal blocks TB11 and TB12 are for the page line connection (FSK data communication) from the
PPI card to additional MIM and MRM modules.
FSK Signal Gain
The FSK Signal Gain, R8, adjusts the FSK transmit signal strength. It is set at the factory and should not
be adjusted by the installer.
Relay - Contact Outputs
The MRM contains eight individually configurable relay-contact outputs, allowing it to control field
devices such as beacons. Connections with these field devices are made at connectors TB1 through TB8
of the 69252-001 Power Relay Module.

Model 12579-003 Monitored Relay Module Page
5 of 16
Each connector corresponds to a single output (TB1 is used for output #1, TB2 is used for output #2,
etc.). If fewer than eight supervised relay-contact outputs are required, the unused outputs may be used to
receive inputs (dry contact closures or non-supervised 24 V dc wet contact closures) from field devices.
In this case, connections with these field devices are made at connectors TB1 through TB8 of the 69251201 Monitored-In-8 PCBA. Each of these outputs may be configured to operate in one of six modes.
Two of these six modes are used to control signaling devices, while the remaining four modes are used to
receive inputs (contact closures) from field devices.
Each mode requires a unique connection scheme between the external field devices and the
appropriate connector on the MRM. The connection scheme for each mode is described below.
Since the connection scheme is independent of which output is used, only Output #1 will be
discussed.
To ensure proper termination, ferrules must be crimped on the ends of all conductors that are terminated
on the terminal blocks. The size of the ferrule is dependent upon the size of the conductor used and can
be sourced from any supplier such as Phoenix, Altec or Weidmuller. The terminals accept a maximum
conductor size of No. 12 AWG and a minimum conductor size of No. 28 AWG.

Mode 0: Deactivate Circuit
6 of 16
In Mode 0, outputs may be used to control several signaling devices by connecting/disconnecting power
to these devices. In this mode, no supervision of the loop is supported. This mode supports both ac- and
dc-powered signaling devices.
Figure 3. Deactivate Circuit - AC-Powered Beacons
Figure 3 shows the recommended wiring diagram for ac-powered signaling devices, while Figure 4 shows
the recommended wiring diagram for dc-powered signaling devices (using Output #1 as an example.)
OTE: The MRM does not contain any current-limiting for the signaling device power. It is
*N
recommended that an external fuse be provided for each output circuit with the appropriate voltage and
current ratings. The selected fuse should be of the slo-blo variety.

Mode 1: IDC Line Supervision Multiple Switch
7 of 16
In this mode any number of normally-open dry contact closures may be installed on the line. The loop is
monitored for ground faults and open circuits in Mode 1. The end-of-line device is a 20 k, 5% tolerance
resistor.
Figure 5. IDC Line Supervision Multiple Switch
OTE: The 20 k, 5% tolerance resistor is not included with the MRM. The resistor is included in a kit
N
(12509-004), which must be ordered separately.

Mode 2: IDC Single Normally-Open (N.O.) Switch
8 of 16
In this configuration, only one normally-open dry contact closure may be installed per supervised line. In
this mode, the loop is monitored for open circuits, wire-to-wire short circuits (across + and −), and ground
faults. When the contact closure is not active (open), the loop appears as 20.1 k load (15 k in series
with 5.1 k). This appears on the input to the MIM and indicates a healthy loop. When the contact
closure is active (closed), the 15 k resistor is bypassed.
Figure 6. IDC Single Normally-Open Switch
When the contact closure is active (closed), the 15 k resistor is bypassed. In this case, output #1 only
sees a 5.1 k load. When this occurs, it indicates to the MRM that the contact closure is active. If there
is a short across L1 and L2, if either leg is grounded, or if a break occurs on either leg, the MRM indicates
that a fault has occurred.
OTE: The terminating resistors are not included with the MRM. These resistors are included in a kit
N
(12509-004), which must be ordered separately.

9 of 16
In this configuration, only one normally-closed dry contact closure may be installed per supervised line.
In this mode, the loop is monitored for open circuits, wire-to-wire short circuits (across + and -), and
ground faults. When the contact closure is not active (closed), the 15 k is bypassed and the circuit sees
only the 5.1 k load.
Figure 7. IDC Single Normally-Closed Switch
This change is sensed by the MRM and indicates to the MRM that the contact closure is active. If there is
a short across L1 and L2, if either leg is grounded, or if a break occurs on either leg, the MRM indicates
that a fault has occurred.
OTE: The terminating resistors are not included with the MRM. These resistors are included in a kit

Mode 4: IAC Line Supervision
10 of 16
In Mode 4, outputs can be used to control several dc-powered signaling devices by connecting/
disconnecting power to these devices. In addition, this loop is monitored for open circuits, wire-to-wire
short circuits (across + and −), and ground faults. If any of these three conditions are detected by the
MRM, the MRM indicates that a fault has occurred. Please note that monitoring of the loop only occurs
while the loop is inactive (signaling devices are off).
Figure 8. IAC Line Supervision – DC-Powered Beacons
It is recommended that Mode 4 only be used with dc-powered signaling devices. In Mode 4, one
blocking diode must be provided for every signaling device connected to the loop. Note that some
signaling devices already include a blocking diode in the unit - in this case, no additional blocking diode
is required. The end-of-line device is a 20 k, 2-watt, 5% tolerance resistor. Please observe all polarities
as indicated in Figure 8 above.
OTE: The blocking diodes, the wire jumpers, and the 20 k, 2-watt, 5% tolerance resistor are not
N
included with the MRM. These components are included in a kit (12509-004), which must be ordered
separately.
OTE: The MRM does not contain any current-limiting for the signaling device power. It is
*N
recommended that an external fuse be provided for each output circuit with the appropriate voltage and
current ratings. The selected fuse should be of the slo-blo variety.

CAUTION
If ac-powered signaling devices are being used on an output loop configured for Mode 4 (Figure 9),
observe the following limitations necessary for reliable operation for the loop monitoring feature:
The dc-resistance measured across the loop (with both end-of-line device and the MRM
removed from the loop) must be at least 100 k
Do NOT use blocking diodes in this loop.

In this wet contact mode, shorting jumpers for each input must be moved from the factory default of
“dry” to “wet” contact mode. When in “wet” contact mode, the input can be activated during a 0 V
condition or a 24 V condition. The factory default setting is “24 V dc input when active” (position 2-3).
If “0 V dc input when active” is desired, move jumper from position 2-3 to position 1-2. The loop will
be monitored for any faults in Mode 5. Ensure the polarity of input connection is correct as it is
not
polarity sensitive.
