RCE-95
Description
The Gamewell-FCI Relay Control Element (RCE-95) is the
interface between the Gamewell-FCI 600 Series Fire
Alarm Control Panel (FACP) analog circuits and building
functions such as door holders, elevators, dampers,
motors and disconnects. The RCE-95 offers feedback
input points for positive confirmation of the controlled
device’s activity. The RCE-95 works with all 600 Series
analog addressable FACPs. For annunciation and feed-
back at the panel, Gamewell-FCI offers a Relay Control
Display (RCD). The RCD is only available with the IF632
and IF650 FACPs.
The RCE-95 is either surface or flush mounted and has an
integral LED which annunciates upon device activation.

Operation
The devices connect to the SLC circuit of the FACP via a
two-wire non- polarized circuit. In its quiescent mode, the
RCE-95 monitors its internal circuitry for status of the
device itself and supervises an external control circuit for
status.
When a status change is detected, the event can be pro-
grammed to display on the optional RCD module. When
an event is reported to the control panel that requires the
activation of the RCE-95, the control panel communicates
via the analog circuit to the RCE-95 for activation. The
integral LED is also lit for annunciation at the device.

Programming
The RCE-95 is programmed by setting a single DIP switch
easily accessible on the RCE-95’s printed circuit board.
The DIP switch is used to set the address of the device. All
other programming is accomplished at the Fire Alarm Con-
trol Panel, either through a laptop computer or the control
panel operator’s display.

Mounting
The RCE-95 is designed to mount in a standard 4.688"
(11.908 cm) electrical backbox. The RCE-95 should be
mounted in an easily visible location so that the built-in
LED may be seen for quick indication of proper connection
and activation.
