GENERAL DESCRIPTION
M500FP Firephone Control Modules are intended for use in intelligent, twowire systems, where the individual address of each module is selected using
the built-in rotary switches. This module is used to connect a remote firefighter telephone to a centralized telephone console. A ringing sound is provided at each off-hook handset until it is connected to the console. Wiring to
individual telephone jacks and handsets is supervised, and status is reported
to the panel as NORMAL, TROUBLE, or TELEPHONE. The M500FP has two
pairs of output termination points available for fault-tolerant wiring, and includes a panel-controlled LED indicator.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to Listed compatible system control panels only.
MOUNTING
This module mounts directly to 4″ square electrical boxes (see Figure 2A).
The box must have a minimum depth of 21/8″. Flush mounted electrical boxes
(SMB500) are available.
WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances and
regulations.
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropriate wiring diagrams (Figures 3-4).
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings.
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer), as shown in
Figure 2.
