All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open) state, but may have transferred to the activated (closed) state during shipping. To ensure that
the switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to communicate with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. If the
modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the operator and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service.
Disconnect the power to the control panel before installing the modules. This
system contains static sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. The housing cabinet should be metallic and suitably
grounded.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CR-6 Six Relay Control Module is intended for use in an intelligent alarm
system. Each module is intended for Form-C switching applications, which do
not require wiring supervision for the load circuit. A single isolated set of dry
relay contacts is provided for each module, which is capable of being wired
for either normally open or normally closed for each operation. Each module
has its own address. A pair of rotary code switches is used to set the address
of the first module from 01 to 94. The remaining modules are automatically assigned to the next five higher addresses. Provisions are included for disabling
a maximum of three unused modules to release the addresses to be used elsewhere. Each CR-6 module also has panel controlled green LED indicators. The
panel can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off.
CONTENTS INCLUDE:
(6) 1 x 3 Terminal Blocks
(1) 1 x 4 Terminal Blocks
(2) 1¼˝ (32mm) Stand offs
(4) Machine Screws
(1) Shunt (NOTE: For the disable position, not more than one shunt shall be
installed at the same time)
(2) Nuts
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
control panel only.
COMPONENTS
Following are descriptions of the CR-6 mounting frameworks. There are two
mounting options for CR-6 modules:
• Up to six CR-6 modules can be installed on a CH-6 in a BB-6 cabinet
• One or two CR-6 modules can be installed in a BB-2 cabinet
Chassis
The CH-6 chassis is used to mount CR-6 modules in a BB-6 cabinet. It accommodates up to six CR-6 modules in a single cabinet row three modules wide
and two modules deep.

In a clean, dry area, mount the backbox using the four holes provided in the
back surface of the cabinet.
2. Chassis Installation
The CH-6 chassis is mounted in the BB-6 cabinet. It is shipped with two selfthreading screws, which are used to fasten the chassis to the back wall of the
cabinet (see Figure 4).
FIGURE 4: MOUNTING THE CH-6 CHASSIS
C0236-00
The BB-2 cabinet comes with the chassis already installed, so no mounting
is necessary.
3. Module Installation
There are two methods for installing a module in the rear position of a chassis. Method one is for installation of a rear module only, when no module will
be installed in front of it. Refer to Figure 5 for instructions. Method two is for
installation of a rear module when another module will be installed in the
chassis position in front of it. Refer to Figures 6a and 6b for method two. All
necessary screws and standoffs are supplied with the modules.
FIGURE 5: INSTALLATION OF REAR MODULE ONLY, METHOD ONE
C0234-*00
The front CR-6 module positions of each chassis are offset below the rear CR-6
module positions so that all of the status indicators are visible.
Cabinets
A BB-6 cabinet will house the CH-6 chassis with up to six CR-6 modules installed on it.
The BB-2 cabinet houses one or two CR-6 modules on the internal chassis that
is part of the cabinet. Refer to cabinet installation documents for dimensions.

Step 1: Insert the bottom of the CR-6 module down into a rear slot
on the chassis.
Step 2: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board back towards the back of
the chassis until it touches the two standoffs.
Step 3: Align two 4-40 screws with the two standoffs and tighten.
Step 4: Address and wire the modules according to the instructions in
this manual.
The steps in Figures 6a and 6b describe and illustrate module installation
when the rear chassis position and the position in front of it will be filled.
Front position installation is possible only if the rear position is filled with an
input/output module.
