RMDC Series Installation Instructions 52-376 Rev B01
3.1 JUMPER AND SWITCH CONFIGURATION
3.1.1 Internal Jumper and Switch Configuration
To access the internal boards, remove the top cover.
Before powering the system, the jumpers on
the internal board(s) must be set for proper operation. Do not
change jumper or switch settings while the unit is powered
or damage to the system can occur.
PS5-M Jumper and Switch Settings
Each unit contains either one or two PS5-M boards. The voltage
switch and jumpers on each board need to be configured for
desired operation.
Output Voltage Setting
Before installing an RMDC system, the output voltage setting
switch of the PS5-M board(s) must be set. Set the switch toward
the green AC visual indicator for 12V, away from the green AC
visual indicator for 24V. (The PC board is labeled with the voltage
settings.) If the RMDC contains two PS5-M boards, they may be
set for two different voltages or the same voltage.
Do not change the switch setting while
the unit is powered or damage to the system can occur.

For proper operation, the jumpers on the PS5-M should be set
appropriately.
Do not change the jumper settings while
the unit is powered or damage to the system can occur.

for applications that either do not require earth ground fault
detection or where earth ground fault detection is provided by
the panel.
JP5, JP6, JP7 (ABC Connector Buss)
This fuse determines how the output of the PS5-M connects to
the ABC Connector. For all RMDC units the ABC Buss Select Fuse
should be connected to J5 and J7.
3.1.2 FAI Module Jumper Settings (Optional)
If the RMDC has FAI capability, the jumpers on the Fire Alarm Interface
Module (FAIM) need to be set for proper operation.

For applications that require the FAI activation to latch, see
Appendix A for wiring options
