General

The FTM-1 Addressable Firephone Control Module

(FlashScan® only) gives NOTIFIER's NFS-640, NFS2-640,

NFS-3030, NFS2-3030 control panels the capability to monitor

and control a circuit of up to two firefighter phones. The FTM-1

has the ability to differentiate between normal, off-hook, and

trouble conditions. 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. The user can then connect that off-

hook phone to the main riser for the voice evac system.
Wiring to individual telephone jacks and handsets is super-

vised, and status is reported to the panel as NORMAL, TROU-

BLE, or OFF HOOK. This module has two pairs of output

termination points available for fault-tolerant wiring (Style Z),

and includes a panel-controlled LED indicator.
FlashScan® (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication pro-

tocol that greatly increases the speed of communication

between analog intelligent devices. Intelligent devices commu-

nicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within the

group has new information, the panel CPU stops the group poll

and concentrates on single points. The net effect is response

speed greater than five times that of other protocols.

Features

• Supports two firefighter telephones in either NFPA Style Y

or Style Z (Fault Tolerant) telephone circuits.

• Direct-dial entry of address 01– 159 for FlashScan®.
• Built-in type identification automatically identifies itself to

the control panel.

• Internal circuitry and relay powered directly by two-wire

SLC loop.

• Integral LED “blinks” green each time a communication is

received from the control panel.

• LED blink may be deselected globally (affects all devices).
• High noise immunity (EMF/RFI).
• Wide viewing angle of LED.
• SEMS screws with clamping plates for wiring ease.

Construction

• The face plate is made of off-white Noryl®.
• Controls include two rotary switches for direct-dial entry of

address (01-159).

• The FTM-1 is configured for either a single Class B (Style

Y) or Class A (Style Z) telephone circuit.

Operation

The FTM-1 uses one of 159 possible module addresses on a

SLC loop. It responds to regular polls from the control panel

and reports its type and status, including NORMAL, TROU-

BLE, or OFF HOOK status of its telephone circuits. The LED

blinks with each poll received.
Upon code command from the panel, the FTM-1 will discon-

nect the supervision and connect the telephone riser to its

telephone circuit. The telephone riser is always relay isolated

from the communication loop so that a trouble condition on the

riser will never interfere with the rest of the system.
Rotary switches set a unique address for each module. The

address may be set before or after mounting. The built-in

TYPE CODE (not settable) will identify the module to the con-

trol panel.
