Contact Monitoring Module

Fire Safety

The SIEMENS FS-TRI-M Contact Monitoring Module,
as shown in Figure 1, interfaces normally open contact
devices to an Addressable Device Circuit of a fire
alarm control unit.

The FS-TRI-M supports Style B (Class B) Initiating
Device Circuit wiring. Each module uses one address
on the Addressable Device Circuit. It does not require
any mechanical address programming. Use the FS-FPI
Programmer/Tester to program and test the module.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

1. To prevent damage to the FS-FPI, do not
connect modules to the FS-FPI until the
Addressable Device Circuit wiring is
disconnected.

2. Only one device must be connected to the
FS-FPI at a time.

1. Connect the red and black wires of the FS-TRI-M
to the SIEMENS FS-FPI Programmer/Tester. Use
the cable provided with the Programmer/Tester
and the 2 alligator clips provided.

2. Set the address for the module by following the
instructions in the FS-FPI Programmer/Tester
Manual (P/N 315-699480).

3. Record the device address on the label located
on the module. The module can now be installed
and wired to the system.

MOUNTING

The FS-TRI-M must be installed in a

UL Listed electrical box.

Refer to Figure 2.

1. Connect the appropriate wires using wire nuts.
Tuck the FS-TRI-M module inside the electrical
box and dress the wiring as required.

2. Fasten the cover plate (user supplied) to the box.
