Before Installing
This information is included as a quick reference installation guide. Refer to the 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. Disconnect power to the control panel before installing
the modules.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
General Description
CMF-300 Supervised Control Modules are intended for use in addressable, two-wire systems, where the individual address
of each module is selected using the built-in rotary switches. This module is used to switch an external power supply,
which can be a DC power supply, to notification appliances. It also supervises the wiring to the connected loads and re-
ports their status to the panel as NORMAL, OPEN, or SHORT CIRCUIT. The CMF-300 has two pairs of output termination
points available for fault-tolerant wiring and a panel-controlled LED indicator. This module can be used to replace a C304
module that has been configured for supervised wiring operation.
Compatibility Requirements
To ensure proper operation, these modules shall be connected to listed compatible system control panels only.
Mounting
The CMF-300 mounts directly to 4˝ square electrical boxes (see Figure 2A). The box must have a minimum depth of 21/8˝.
Surface mounted electrical boxes (SMB500) are available.

WARNING

All relay switch contacts are shipped in the standby state (open) state, but may have transferred to the activated (closed)
state during shipping. To ensure that the switch contacts are in their correct state, modules must be made to communicate
with the panel before connecting circuits controlled by the module.
