Overview

What it is and who it is for

The Notifier FCM-1-REL is an addressable releasing control module for fire suppression releasing on FlashScan systems. Solenoid power runs through the module for continuous supervision, and it reports normal, open or short circuit conditions to the panel.

It uses a redundant protocol: the module must be armed with a signal pair and then receive a confirmation pair within 3 seconds, or it resets automatically. It powers one 24 VDC solenoid or two 12 VDC solenoids in series, with up to 2 A solenoid activation current and 18 VDC minimum at the solenoid, and can be configured for Class A or Class B wiring. It mounts in a standard 4 in junction box and is rated for 14°F to 140°F.

Notifier lists it for FlashScan releasing on the NFS2-3030 (v14.0 and later), NFS2-640 (v12.0 and later) and NFS-320 (v12.0 and later); the FCM-1 is used on the NFS-640, NFS-3030 and all CLIP mode panels. Compatible solenoids are listed in Notifier Device Compatibility Document PN 15378.

  • Best for: release agent solenoid circuits on Notifier NFS2-3030, NFS2-640 and NFS-320 FlashScan systems.
  • System fit: Notifier NFS2-3030 (v14.0+), NFS2-640 (v12.0+) and NFS-320 (v12.0+) in FlashScan mode; solenoids per PN 15378.
  • Important to know: use only solenoids listed in Notifier document PN 15378; installation and programming must be done by a qualified fire alarm technician in line with local code and the panel manufacturer's instructions.

Why teams choose it

Built for fire alarm systems

  • Redundant release protocol

    arm and confirm signal pairs within a 3-second window before release.

  • Supervised solenoid circuit

    solenoid power runs through the module and reports open or short conditions.

  • Flexible solenoid load

    drives one 24 VDC solenoid or two 12 VDC solenoids in series, up to 2 A.

  • Supply monitoring

    watches the external 24 VDC supply voltage.
