BEFORE INSTALLING
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to the
appropriate control panel installation manual for detailed system information.
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.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Relay Module, Model 55-048, is to be designed for use in activation of the
types of products that are generally connected to an intelligent fire alarm sys-
tem. It provides two sets of form C contacts that switch together (one DPDT
relay). There is also an input that is capable of monitoring a dry set of contacts
for open or closed conditions. The module also has on-board short circuit iso-
lators to prevent shorts on the signaling line circuit from disabling more than
one device on the intelligent loop.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a listed compat-
ible control panel.
MOUNTING
The module mounts directly to 4-inch square electrical boxes. The box must
have a minimum depth of 21⁄8inches. Modules must be mounted with the ar-
row facing upward for proper operation of the IR programming tool. Surface
mounted electrical boxes (SMB500) are available from Fike.

WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and
regulations.
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropri-
ate wiring diagrams.
NOTE: Separate cable entry openings must be used to maintain required
spacing between power limited and non-power limited wiring. Optional
EA-CT may be required to separate power limited and non power limited
wiring in the electrical box.
2. Set the address on the module per job drawings using the IR configura-
tion tool (model no. EA-CT).
3. Secure module to electrical box (supplied by installer).
NOTE: All references to power limited represent “Power Limited (Class 2)”.
