The **FLM-CD-R** is an addressable relay module (Control Dual Relay) commonly used in intelligent fire alarm systems, specifically those utilizing the Bosch digital communication protocol.
### 1. Functional Overview
The module provides two independent Form C (SPDT) relay outputs that are controlled by the fire alarm control panel (FACP). It allows the system to interface with external equipment such as elevators, HVAC fans, fire doors, and dampers.

### 3. Core Electronic Components
The module consists of several critical stages:
#### A. Microcontroller & Communication Chip
* **The LSN Controller:** Manages the digital handshake with the main fire panel. It decodes the unique address assigned to the module and monitors for "Set" or "Reset" commands.
* **Addressing Logic:** Features rotary switches or digital programming capabilities to set a unique address (001–254) on the data loop.
#### B. Relay Mechanism
* **Dual Form C Relays:** Physical electromechanical switches.
* **Form C Configuration:** Each relay has a Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) terminal.
* **Isolation:** The electronic trigger circuit is optically or magnetically isolated from the load side to prevent high-voltage spikes from damaging the SLC loop.
#### C. Supervisory Circuitry
* **Internal Monitoring:** The module continuously monitors its own internal health and the status of the relays.
* **Status LED:** A built-in LED (typically bi-color) indicates polling status (green) or an active/alarm state (red).

Terminal | Description
---------|------------------------------------
SLC In | Connection from the Control Panel Loop
SLC Out | Connection to the next device in the loop
Relay 1 | NO, C, NC contacts for first output
Relay 2 | NO, C, NC contacts for second output
