The 716 Output Expansion Module provides four independently programmable Form C (SPDT) relays and four zone‑following annunciator outputs for use on XR Series, XF6 Series, and XT75 Control Panels. Connect the 716 Module to the panel LX‑Bus. The 716 Module cannot be connected to the Keypad Bus. In addition to the panel onboard Form C relays, you can connect multiple modules to the panel for unique auxiliary relays and annunciator outputs, one per zone.
MOUNT THE MODULE
The 716 comes in a high‑impact plastic housing that you can mount directly to a wall, backboard, or other flat surface. For easy installation, the housing base contains holes that allow you to mount the module on a single‑gang switch box or ring. Mount the module outside the panel enclosure.
- Remove the housing fastener screws and separate the top housing from the base.
- Insert screws through the desired mounting holes on the housing base. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting hole locations.
- Tighten the screws into place.
- Attach the housing top to the mounted base with the housing fastener screws. Refer to Figure 3.

WIRE THE MODULE
Refer to Figure 4 when wiring the module. Connect the included 20‑wire harness to the main header. Connect red, green, and black wires to the panel LX‑Bus. For supervised operation, connect the yellow wire to the panel LX‑Bus. Connect remaining wires as needed.

SET THE MODULE ADDRESS
Set the 716 Module to an address that is used by the panel to turn outputs on and off. For easy addressing, the 716 contains two on‑board rotary switches that you can set with a small screwdriver.
When using annunciator outputs, set the 716 address to match the zones that you want the outputs to follow. If you are only using the Form C relays, set the address to match the output numbers that you want to operate. The module uses two rotary switches (TENS and ONES) to set the module address. Set the switches to match the last two digits of the addresses. For example, for address 02 set the switches to TENS 0 and ONES 2 as shown in Figure 4. For more information, refer to Table 1.

PROGRAM THE PANEL
Assign the Form C relays to outputs in Output Options and Zone Information, or assign the relays to ZoneAlarm Actions. For example, program the panel Telephone Trouble Output to operate output 520 so that a trouble on the panel phone line would toggle relay 1 on a module set to address 520. Output 521 would togglerelay 2 on the same 716 module. The module’s four Form C relays are rated for 1 Amp at 30 VDC resistive. For more information about programming, refer to the appropriate panel programming guide.
- Supervised Operation
- Unsupervised Operation
- Annunciator Outputs
To install the module as a supervised device, connect all four LX‑Bus wires from the module to the panel LX‑Bus andprogram an appropriate zone as a Supervisory (SV) type. The module may use any address for supervision, providedthat a Supervisory zone is programmed for that address. For example, zone 504 on an XR550 panel would beprogrammed as an SV zone to supervise a 716 module set to address 04 on the first LX‑Bus. Only the first zone numberfor the programmed device is supervised. Refer to Table 1.
To operate the module in unsupervised mode, do not connect the yellow wire from the module to the panel LX‑Bus. Unsupervised operation allows you to install multiple modules and set them to the same address. Do not program a zone address for unsupervised operation. Unsupervised operation is incompatible with fire listed installations. For more information, refer to “Compliance Listing Specifications”.
Unlike the module Form C relays, the four power limited annunciator outputs on the 716 Module follow the armed zone state having the same address. For example, output 1 (white/brown) on a 716 module set to address 120 shorts to ground each time zone 120 is in alarm or trouble while armed. Use this feature to operate relays or LEDs to show changes in the state of the panel armed zones. Refer to Table 2.
