Model FM-10 Facilities Module is designed for use with fire and gas detection systems utilizing Detcon Model Series 10 control cards. 

The Facilities Module provides common alarm outputs, a master alarm reset/acknowledge switch, displays and reports system fault conditions, and most importantly serves as a single RS-485 address where the complete system status can be polled very efficiently and quickly. 

Model FM-10 can be configured to supervise up to 32 Detcon Model Series 10 control cards. 

In some applications the Facilities Module can be used to divide a high-density system into zones. For example, a system with 192 single control cards could be divided into 6 forty-channel areas. 

Another configuration option may be zoning by function wherein an integrated combustible gas, toxic gas and fire detection system could utilize a Model FM-10 module for each safety monitoring category.
