INTRODUCTION
RM2 SYSTEM
The Millennium Rack Mount Controller (RM2) is a 2-channel, 4-20 mA input
monitor for use with a variety of Net Safety’s monitoring devices. Channel #1
and Channel #2 function independently and can be used for any combinati on of
Net Safety’s fire detectors, toxic gas sensors or combustible gas transmitters or
controllers.
Fire Head
Net Safety’s UV/IRS, UVS, IRS, UVU-120-H2 and Phoenix IR3S fire detector
heads can be used in conjunction with the RM2.
ST Series Sensors
A variety of Net Safety’s ST Series 4-20 mA Toxic gas sensors can be
connected to the RM2.
Transmitters / Controllers
Net Safety’s Uni-Tran and Millennium Combustible Gas Controllers or
Transmitters can be used in conjunction with the RM2.
Manual
The manual has been designed to make installation of the RM2 System easy. To
ensure proper installation and usage follow the simple steps outlined in the
following pages. Consult the manual provided with the detector device(s) being
connected to the RM2 for specific information.
If you encounter any problems, consult the troubleshooting section or contact
your sales representative.

STEP 1 — INSTALL
UNPACK
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check components
against the enclosed packing list and inspect all components for obvious
damage such as broken or loose parts. If you find any components missing or
damaged, notify your representative or Net Safety Monitoring immediately.
Locate
Locate Fire Heads, Sensors, Controllers or Transmitters as per the manual
provided with the specific product.

STEP 2 — WIRE
FIELD INSTALLATION
WARNING: Wiring codes and regulations may vary. Wiring must comply
with applicable regulations relating to the installation of electrical equipment
and is the responsibility of the installer. If in doubt, consult a qualified official
before wiring the system.
The following figures illustrate the basic connections for a Fire Head, Sensor,
Controller or Transmitter as well as information for external equipment.
Consult the manual for the specific Fire Head, Controller or Transmitter
regarding further wiring information.
Configuration
Two Analog Input channels with Current Loop and Relay Output. Refer to
Figure 2, "Analog/Relay RM2 System Board—Wiring", on page 3 for an
illustration.
SETTINGS
Once field wiring is complete, the Relay Contacts and the Isolated/Non-isolated
analog output should be configured.
Using Jumpers
Place Jumper(s) over appropriate pins in order to set
Relays Contacts as Open or Closed, and set Isolated or
Non-isolated analog output.
Relay Outputs
0.690"
0.576"
0.059"
0.970"
Mount
The RM2 can be fitted into a cage and located in a Class 1, Division 2 location.
RM2-AR 2
The relay outputs have SPDT, form C, normally open/normally closed contacts
rated for 5 Amps @ 30 V dc or 250 V ac. Each channel has two dedicated alarm
relays and a fifth relay is a Common Fault relay.
Current Outputs
A 4-20 mA dc analog current output (isolated/non-iso lated) transmits
information to other devices.
Net Safety Monitoring Inc.
Figure 2: Analog/Relay RM2 System Board—Wiring
Note: The Common System Fault Relay is fixed as Energized/Non-latching.
Refer to Table 2 on page 13, Table 4 on page 15 and Table 5 on page 16 for status indicators.

Note: For ST Series Toxic sensors, use shielded copper instrument wire
(minimum 18 AWG) for separations up to 500 feet; use 16 AWG for
separations of 500 to 2000 feet. Consult the factory if greater distance
required.
Note: Refer to the F
IRE HEAD or CONTROLLER/TRANSMITTER manual for
more detailed wiring instructions.

Note: T o compensate for distance when re motely calibrating (sensor wired for
separation), decrease the tubing diameter or increase the calibration gas
flow rate. Always confirm calibration at the sensor.
Note: Clears latched alarms for both RM2 channels.

STEP 3 — OPERATE
START UP
Once all terminal wiring and Jumper settings are complete, the RM2 may be
powered up.
After power has been applied, a 90 second warm-up routine will begin (
ONTROLLERS); the System Status LED is Green Blip; and current output
and C
moves to 3.0 mA.
Note: Channel types are defined at purchase and factory set.
Normal Operation
Once the warm-up routine has ended, normal operation begins as indicated in
Table 1.
