Potter Electric Signal pad100-rm Relay Module

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL pad100-rm is an addressable relay module designed for use with supervised loop controller (SLC) fire alarm systems. It consumes one SLC loop address and provides one Form C relay contact output, making it a compact and efficient control device for ancillary system switching functions. A single red LED on the face of the module provides status indication at a glance. Under normal polling conditions, the LED flashes each time the control panel queries the device, confirming active communication on the loop. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors install this module as part of a larger addressable detection and control system.

The pad100-rm is suited for commercial fire alarm installations where addressable loop devices are required to control auxiliary equipment such as door holders, fans, dampers, or other relay-driven loads. The module mounts directly onto a standard 4-inch square electrical box or a double-gang box, fitting into typical rough-in conditions found in commercial construction and retrofit projects. Its single-address footprint keeps loop capacity available for other detection and notification devices on the same SLC segment.

Key Features

• One SLC loop address consumed per module, preserving loop capacity
• One Form C relay contact output for versatile switching applications
• Onboard red LED flashes during normal poll cycles to confirm loop communication
• Mounts on a 4-inch square or double-gang electrical box for standard installation
• Compact form factor suitable for addressable commercial fire alarm systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style addressable relay module for use with compatible SLC-based fire alarm control panels that support this device type. Consult the fire alarm control panel listing documentation to confirm SLC loop compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Before servicing or wiring the module, de-energize the SLC loop at the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer's address-setting procedure before mounting. Do not apply power to the loop until all wiring connections are verified and the module is fully seated in its box. Confirm LED poll-flash behavior at the control panel after restoration to verify proper loop communication.
