The ACM is a graphic annunciator network network capable of LED or relay outputs in any combination.
Annunciator Control Module
Distributed Architecture
All FC-250 modules operate independently. There is no central operating system, no central point of failure. Processing power is distributed throughout the campus, increasing system survivability, eliminating home-run wiring costs while decreasing downtime due to system maintenance.
Highly Survivable
Since NAC’s and SLC’s are grouped on the same module and events are processed locally, ALM modules will perform local operations even if network communication has been severed. Distributed modules also minimize campus-wide downtime by restricting maintenance to the local module.
The Annunciator Control Module (ACM3-IP) is used to drive LED or relay points. The ACM3-IP communicates with all other modules installed on the network through an Ethernet connection and is addressed through the ACM3-IP unique IP address.
Each ACM3-IP board can monitor and control up to 64 configurable points. These points can either be LED or open collector output drivers on the LED Connector Board (LCB3) or relay points on the Relay Connector Board (RCB3). Each LCB3 contains 32 individual LED/open collector output points. Each RCB3 contains 32 Form A relays rated at 5A each.
The ACM3-IP supports LCB3 and RCB3 boards in any combination.

applications
The contractor shall furnish and install, where indicated on the plans, central or distributed programmable LED drivers,
programmable Open Collector output drivers or programmable relay modules for event annunciation and advanced
building control functions. The Annunciator Control Module (ACM3-IP) shall be field programmable, maintain an
integral 3000 event history log, and provide for Remote Acknowledge, Remote Reset, Remote Signal Silence and
Lamp Test. Each ACM3-IP installed on a system shall be capable of expanding to 1984 points through the Annunciator
Expander Module (AXM3). Both the ACM3 and AXM3 shall be capable of adding LED Control Boards (LCB3) or Relay
Control Boards (RCB3) in any combination. The LCB3 shall also be capable of driving Open Collector Output points in
addition to LED’s. The ACM3 shall be capable of remote installation and shall be capable of being powered from a
central 24V system source or with an integral 8A power supply and battery charger. The ACM3 shall contain an
integral USB 2.0 Type A communications port for firmware upload and shall also be capable of being programmed or
backed-up through the USB ports of any attached VPM/SDM3-IP display module via standard USB Mass Storage
Devices. The ACM3-IP must be UL/ULC listed and UL/ULC listed as compatible with Harding network fire controls.
The Annunciator Module and attaching control boards shall be Harding part numbers ACM3-IP, AXM3, LCB3 and
RCB3.
