This manual contains instructions for installing your Firex Relay Module. This
relay module is U.L. listed as an accessory for use only with the Firex Smoke
Alarm Nos. 406 (G-6), 418 (G-18), 420 (G-120), 4418 (AD), 4480 (PAD), 4518 (ADC),
4580 (FPAD), 5000, 4618, 46182 (FADC), 5700 (ADH), 7000 (FADCQ) and is used to
activate auxiliary devices. All auxiliary devices to be activated shall be 120 Volt
60Hz 5 Amps maximum, or 28 VDC 5 Amps maximum.
NOTE: On the 7000 (FADCQ) Smoke/CO Combo , the 499 relay module will
respond to the smoke alarm only. It will not respond to the CO alarm.
WARNING: This relay will not operate without continuous AC power. Do not use
with battery backup units.
CAUTION: Do not interconnect Model No. 499 to Models COQ8, FXW-1A, FX1014,
FX1020, FX1106 or any other manufacturer's units. Doing so will permanently
damage the relay.
Use your Firex 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
ALARM LOAD IN AN INTERCONNECTED STRING. THEREFORE, USE OF THE
RELAY REDUCES THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF INTERCONNECTED SMOKE
ALARMS 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 circuit.
2. Install and wire your Firex smoke alarm as recommended in your smoke
alarm owner's manual.
3. Connect the black wires of the relay module and the smoke alarm to the
black wire of the 12OVAC line.
4. Connect the yellow wire of the relay module to the yellow wire of the smoke
alarm. NOTE: Connection of yellow wire to any voltage source greater than
20 volts will damage unit and void warranty.
5. Connect the white wire of the relay module to the white wire of the
smoke alarm.
6. 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. @
12OVAC or 28 VDC. See NEC, Article 725-52 for additional information on
combining 12OVAC circuits with low voltage Class 2 and Class 3 circuits.
7. Cap any unused leads with a wire nut.
8. Insert the relay module into the junction box and install the faceplate.
9. Apply power to the circuit and test the smoke alarm and the auxiliary device
for proper operation.
10. See below for examples of wiring normally open or normally closed circuits.
