INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions for installing your Firex
Relay Module. Your Relay Module is U.L. listed as an
accessory for use with the Firex FXW-R (0428), FXW-1A,
or FX1020 Smoke Alarm and can be used wherever auxiliary devices are to be activated. All devices to be activated by the Firex Relay Module shall be 120 Volt 60Hz 5
Amps maximum or 28 RDC 5 Amps maximum.
Use your Relay Module for:
Sirens / Exit Signs / Bells
Warning Lights / Fire Doors / Exhaust Fans
Visual Indicators
The Relay Module is not recommended for use with automatic dialers or security alarm panels.
CAUTION: THE RELAY MODULE IS NOT TO BE USED AS A METHOD OF
EXTENDING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SMOKE ALARMS PERMITTED IN
MULTIPLE STATION OPERATION. (REFER TO SMOKE ALARM MANUAL FOR
SPECIFIED MAXIMUM LIMIT.) EACH RELAY MODULE REPLACES ONE SMOKE
DETECTOR LOAD IN AN INTERCONNECTED STRING, THEREFORE, USE OF THE
RELAY REDUCES THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF INTERCONNECTED SMOKE
DETECTORS BY ONE.
The Relay Module should be installed in a junction box. All
connections should be made by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the requirements of the National Electric
Code and/or any local codes having jurisdiction.
1. Turn off main power to circuit.
2. Install and wire your Firex FXW-1A or FX 1020 Smoke
Alarm as recommended in your smoke alarm owner’s

smoke detector to the black wire of the 120 VAC line.
4. Connect the orange wire of the Relay Module to the
orange wire of the smoke detector.
5. Connect the auxiliary device to the Relay Module
contact leads as required.
Both normally open and normally closed contacts are
available to control the auxiliary device.
NOTE: The relay contact rating is 5 Amps max. @ 120
VAC or 28 VDC
6. Cap any unused leads with a wire nut.
7. Insert the Relay Module into the junction box and install
the faceplate.
