Napco RB3008 Gemini 8 Relay Module
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RB3008 and RM3008 are 8-channel relay interface accessories
for use with GEM-Series (except GEM-P800), MA3000, X250, and Signature SS-P and
5000-Series control panels. The RB3008 Relay Board is designed for installation
inside an H1518 or CF1518 housing. The RM3008 Relay Module, a self-contained
remote equivalent of the RB3008, may be used with all control panels, regardless
of housing. It connects onto the remote panel bus along with such other
accessories as keypads and zone expansion modules.
INSTALLATION MANUAL
Up to 8 RB3008/RM3008 units may be used.
Both versions provide 8 independent programmable drycontact
relay outputs for controlling bells, door latches, lights, strobes and other
similar devices. The panel controls the closure of each relay. Refer to
installation instructions for the control panel in use for wiring requirements
in

to the mounting surface.
BOARD/MODULE ASSIGNMENT
The control panel must be able to identify the relay board or
module. This is accomplished by the proper placement of jumpers on Jumper Block
J1 (see Wiring Diagram on page 2 and Table 1, below).
INSTALLATION
RB3008.
To mount one
Relay Board inside a large MA3000 or Signature 5500 housing (H1518 or CF1518),
refer to Fig. 1 and proceed as follows:
Caution:
Always remove ac
and battery power before installing or removing the RB3008.
1. Remove the motherboard from the enclosure by removing the two
screws that secure the heat sink to the top of the enclosure (‘‘
A’’
in Fig. 1) and the two screws at the bottom of the board that secure it to the
cross rail (‘‘B’’
in Fig. 1).
2. Mount the RB3008 module at the middle of the enclosure, off
the rear wall. Position the RB3008 with the terminal strip at the bottom so that
the four mounting holes align with the raised standoffs in the enclosure. Secure
the module using the four self-tapping screws supplied.
3. Replace the motherboard, securing it with the screws removed
in Step 1. When fully assembled, the module will be behind the motherboard but
mounted low enough so that its terminal strip is exposed.
