How do I wire a 2-wire smoke detector using the Napco Firewolf FW-RM1 Reversing Module?

1. Connect the purple wire from the FW-RM1 to the control panel positive Bell terminal.
2. Connect the black wire from the FW-RM1 to the control panel negative Bell terminal.
3. Connect the red wire from the FW-RM1 to the control panel AUX Power positive (+) terminal.
4. Connect the orange wire from the FW-RM1 to the control panel 2-wire Fire Power (FIRE PWR) negative (-) or active low terminal.
5. Connect the yellow wire to the control panel resettable Fire Power (FIRE PWR) positive (+) or active high terminal.
6. Connect the FW-RM1 Zone positive (+) terminal to the smoke detector positive (+) terminal.
7. Connect the FW-RM1 Zone negative (-) terminal to the smoke detector negative (-) terminal.
8. Wire the 2.2K end-of-line-resistor (EOLR) at the end of the line of the smoke loop.
9. On the control panel motherboard, place the JP7 jumper (or the JP3 jumper, as determined by the control panel model) into the 2-Wire Fire position for the wired zone.
