ACM-8R

Relay Module

Annunciator Control Systems

DN-3558:B • D-102

General

The ACM-8R is a module in the Notifier ACS class of annunci-

ators. It provides a mappable relay output module for

NFS(2)-3030, NFS(2)-640, and NFS-320 Fire Alarm Control

Panels, and for NCA-2 Network Control Annunciators.

Features

• Provides eight Form-C relays with 5 A contacts.
• The relays can be employed to track a variety of devices

and panel points, in a grouped fashion.

• Removable terminal blocks for ease of installation and ser-

vice.

• DIP switch selectable memory mapping of relays.

NOTE: The ACM-8R can also be used with legacy panels. Please
refer to the ACM-8R manual (PN 15342).

Mounting

The ACM-8R module will mount to CHS-4 chassis, a CHS-4L

low-profile chassis (assumes one of four positions on the

chassis), or CHS-4MB; or for remote applications, to an ABS-

8RB Annunciator Surface-mount backbox with blank faceplate.

Limits

The ACM-8R is a member of the Notifier ACS class of annun-

ciators. Up to 32 annunciators (not including expander mod-

ules) may be installed on an EIA-485 circuit.

Wire Runs

Communication between the control panel and the ACM-8R is

accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial interface. This

communication, to include the wiring, is supervised by the fire

alarm control panel. Power for the annunciators is provided via

a separate power loop from the control panel, which is inher-

ently supervised (loss of power also results in a communica-

tion failure at the control panel).

Relay Mapping

The ACM-8R’s relays can follow the status of initiating and

indicating circuits, control relays, and several system control

functions.

GROUPED TRACKING

The ACM-8R can track a variety of input, output, panel func-

tions, and addressable devices in a grouped fashion:
• CPU status
• Soft zones
• Special hazard zones.
• Addressable circuits
• Power supply NACs.
• Selectable points (NFS2-640 and NFS-320 only) when

tracking “special” annunciator points.
