The Notifier FMM-1 Addressable Monitor Module is engineered to supervise dry-contact input devices and report their status directly to the fire alarm control panel. This compact and versatile module ensures accurate monitoring of critical components such as pull stations, water flow switches, and other normally open contacts.
Features
Compact Addressable Design
The FMM-1 connects to Notifier’s intelligent fire alarm control panels using the FlashScan protocol. Its compact form makes it ideal for tight installations where space is limited.
Flexible Input Monitoring
It supports monitoring of one normally open (N.O.) contact device. As a result, installers can use it with various peripheral devices, including tamper switches and pull stations.
Isolated Mounting Capability
The unit comes with a mounting plate for easy surface installation. Additionally, its design allows for mounting inside electrical boxes behind devices, keeping installations clean and discreet.
LED Status Indicator
Equipped with an LED that flashes when the module is being polled and lights steadily when activated, it provides quick visual feedback. This helps technicians during testing and maintenance.
Reliable Communication
Because it uses FlashScan, the FMM-1 offers high-speed communication and rapid response times. It integrates seamlessly into Notifier addressable systems, maintaining system-wide reliability.
Application and Usage
This module is best suited for use in commercial fire alarm systems where monitoring of dry-contact devices is required. Typical applications include water flow detection, manual pull station activation, and tamper monitoring on sprinkler systems. Its flexibility makes it a popular choice for retrofits and new installations alike.
Installation Tips
Install the FMM-1 within 20 feet of the monitored device for optimal performance. Use proper conduit or raceway as required by local codes. Always test the system after installation to confirm the module reports correctly to the control panel. Ensure the wiring is terminated according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid communication errors.
