ANN-RLY Relay Module 
Installation Instructions
The ANN-RLY relay module provides 10 programmable Form-C relays when used with a compatible 
FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel). This document 
is provided as a quick reference. For more detailed 
information, refer to the appropriate FACP installation manual.
Note: Installation and wiring of this device must be
done in accordance with NFPA 72 and local 
ordinances.

ANN-RLY module mounting hooks
1. Install the two supplied snap-in standoffs into the 
backside of the ANN-RLY circuit board in 
locations indicated in illustration above.
2. Using supplied hardware, attach the ground wire 
using a screw and nut to location indicated in 
illustration above. Be sure to position the ground 
wire as shown to facilitate ANN-RLY installation.
3. Position the ANN-RLY module in the chassis so 
that the two standoffs in the module are positioned over the wider portion of the mounting 
holes in the chassis and the mounting hooks on 
the module are sticking through the module 
mounting slots in the bottom of the chassis.
4. Slide the ANN-RLY module to the right to lock 
the module into place.
5. Attach the ground wire installed in step 2 to the 
chassis in the location indicated below .

Mounting
The ANN-RLY module may be mounted inside the 
F ACP main circuit board chassis or in the battery 
area of the enclosure using mounting bracket P/N: 
ANN-MBRL Y. Refer to the following illustrations 
for installation information.
Note:
1. ANN-RLY module can be installed without 
removing the main circuit board or chassis.
2. ANN-MBRLY mounting bracket must be used 
for the MS-9200UDLS.

Mounting in FACP Main Board Chassis 
Using the ANN-MBRLY bracket
1. Placing the ANN-MBRLY mounting bracket flat 
against the inside back wall of the F ACP 
backbox, position both bracket mounting tabs 
above the two embossed protrusions in the 
backbox and slide the tabs down into the protrusions as illustrated below .

3. Install the ANN-RLY Relay Module on the 
ANN-MBRL Y mounting bracket by positioning 
the four module mounting holes over the four 
standoffs on the mounting bracket.
4. Install one of the four supplied mounting screws 
and the supplied grounding strap in the top left 
mounting hole of the ANN-RLY module as 
illustrated below.
5. Secure the ANN-RLY module to the 
ANN-MBRL Y bracket with the remaining three 
supplied mounting screws and tighten all mounting screws.
6. Attach the other end of the grounding strap to the 
backbox grounding stud, securing it with a nut as 
illustrated below.

2. Secure the ANN-MBRLY mounting bracket to 
the backbox by installing the supplied self-tapping 
screw into the top embossed protrusion/tab as 
illustrated below .

IMPORTANT! Only 7 AH or 18 AH batteries will 
fit in the FACP backbox when the ANN-MBRLY 
mounting bracket is installed. If 12 AH batteries 
are to be used, they must be installed in an external 
UL listed battery box such as the BB-17F.

Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address. 
ANN-RLY relay module DIP switch SW1 is used 
to set the address for the annunciator.
A maximum of 8 devices can be connected to the 
FACP ANN-BUS communication circuit. ANNBUS device addresses do not need to be sequential 
and can be set to any number between 01 and 08. 
Note that 00 is not a valid address. The following 
illustrates the DIP switch settings for each address 
(ID Number):

Notes:
1.  All connections/sources are to be power-limited 
and supervised.
2.  12 - 18 AWG (0.75 - 3.25 mm2) wire for 24 
VDC circuit is acceptable. Refer to the 
appropriate FACP manual.
3.  Power wire distance limitation is set by 1.2 volt 
maximum line drop from source to end of 
circuit.
4.  Maximum distance from FACP to last ANNBUS device must not exceed 1,250 feet 
(380 m). Refer to Wiring Distance Table in 
appropriate FACP manual for wire gauge and 
distance limitations.
5.  Common, Normally Closed and Normally Open 
terminals for each relay follow the same 
pattern as illustrated above.
