The Model MBM is a local energy type Master Box actuating module for use with the FireLarm 2500 Fire 
Control Panel. The unit can be mounted in the control panel housing, if space is available, or in a 
separate housing (CPG #327-0089). The circuit between the module and the master box is supervised to 
detect an open circuit. Terminals are provided for the connection of the master box reset supervisory 
contacts. 
A switch is provided to disable the unit so 
that it will not trip the master box. Operation 
of this switch will cause LED (D6) to 
illuminate. To make this switch inoperative, 
remove R42. 
If the master box is provided with reset 
supervisory contacts, the position of these 
contacts may be supervised. When these 
contacts are off normal LED D5 will 
illuminate and the trouble outputs will be 
activated.
