The RRS-MOD polarity reversing relay/synchronization module is intended
for use with 2-wire and 4-wire i3 series detectors equipped with a built-in
sounder, models 2WTA
-B, 4WTA-B, 4WTAR-B, and 4WITAR-B. It is designed
to allow all the detectors in the same loop to sound when one of the detectors
goes into alarm, and to synchronize their audible output. The RRS-MOD also
allows the silencing of the detector sounders from the alarm control panel.
The RRS-MOD may be used with an alarm zone that provides coded output for
fire and continuous output for burglary. By default the RRS-MOD’s switch is
set to “off”. Therefore, the RRS-MOD will only trigger when the alarm output
is coded. In this manner, smoke detectors will only sound from the result of a
fire, and not from a burglary alarm. In this mode, the detectors will provide a
synchronized, coded output. The RRS-MOD contains a relay that is meant for
zone applications, per UL 864.
The RRS-MOD can also be set to only trigger on continuous alarm zone sig-
nals by selecting the switch to “on”. In this mode, the detectors will provide a
synchronized, coded output.

Install in a dry indoor location. Choose a mounting location in the control
panel within reach of the provided wire leads. Use a water/isopropyl alcohol
mixture (50/50) to clean the mounting surface. Allow surface to dry and re-
move paper backing from the Velcro and catch. Stick the Velcro in the panel
and the catch on the back of the module, then mount the module inside the
control panel. Route terminals to the appropriate terminals as noted below.
WARNING
When calculating total current draw of the control panel, remember to add
current consumption (25mA) for the polarity reversal relay module (RRS-
MOD). IMPORTANT: If the fire alarm output signal is coded, set the switch on
the RRS-MOD to “OFF”. If the fire alarm output signal is continuous, set the
switch to “ON”.
Wiring
IMPORTANT: All polarities must be observed!
1. Connect the RRS-MOD module trigger wire to the fire alarm output terminals.


A.
Alarm/Bell output: (Figures 1 and 2)



Connect the purple wire to the Alarm or Bell output.


B. Alarm relay, normally open contact: (Figures 3 and 4)



1.
Connect one end of the alarm relay contact output to positive
auxiliary or detector power fire alarm output.



2.
Connect the purple wire to the other end of the alarm relay
contact output.
2. Connect the red and black wires to the panel auxiliary or detector power
(red to positive, black to negative).
3.
2-wire models


Connect the yellow and orange wires to the panel initiating circuit (yel-
low to positive, orange to negative).

4-wire models


Connect the yellow and orange wires to the panel detector power circuit
(yellow to positive, orange to negative).
4.
2-wire models


Connect the brown and white wires to the smoke detector power supply
input (brown to positive, white to negative).

4-wire models


Connect the brown and white wires to the smoke detector power circuit
(brown to positive, white to negative).
NOTE: In an alarm condition, a wiring-fault
trouble state may also register at the panel
when the RRS-MOD is used.

CAUTION
When using the RRS-MOD with model
2WTA-B, do not mix the 2WTA-B with
other model smoke detectors and dry
contact closure devices, including me-
chanical heat detectors, manual pull
stations and waterflow switches. Such
mixing can cause a direct short on the
auxiliary power terminals, damaging the
control panel’s internal circuitry and/or
damaging devices connected to the initi-
ating device circuit. UL

TesTing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance and will temporarily be out of service.
Test in accordance with NFPA 72 test methods, inspections, and testing frequency.
1.
Confirm that all smoke detectors connected to the RRS-MOD module(s)
contain a sounder and the sounders are activated upon power reversal.
2.
Initiate an alarm with one of the smoke detectors connected to the RRS-
MOD module using any approved test method. In the alarm state, all the
detectors connected to the RRS-MOD module must be sounding their
sounders.
3.
Reset the system from the control panel. All smoke detector sounders
should be silent.
4.
If the fire alarm panel also functions in burglary, initiate a burglary alarm
and ensure the smoke detectors do not sound.
