CMF-300(A)
Control Module

Addressable Devices

General
The CMF-300(A) Addressable Control Module provides
Fire•Lite intelligent control panels a circuit for Notification
Appliances (horns, strobes, etc.). Addressability allows the
CMF-300(A) to be activated through panel programming, on a
select (zone or area of coverage) basis.
LiteSpeed™ is a communication protocol developed by
Fire•Lite Engineering that greatly enhances the speed of com-
munication between analog intelligent devices. Intelligent
devices communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the
devices within the group has new information, the panel CPU
stops the group poll and concentrates on single points. The
net effect is response speed greater than five times that of
other designs.

Features
• Built-in type identification automatically identifies these
devices to the control panel.
• Internal circuitry powered directly by two-wire SLC loop.
