CTX-95
Description
The Gamewell-FCI City Tie Expander (CTX-95) is a single-
circuit, reverse-polarity transmitter that provides the inter-
face between the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) and a
municipal system or central station. The CTX-95 connects
to the panel via a three-wire SLC circuit. The most common
usage is transmitting supervisory signals and their faults on
a separate city tie from the main system, and to transmit
alarms to a central station to indicate building alarm or
arrival entrance to building.
The CTX-95 is either surface or flush mounted and has an
integral LED that lights at device activation.

cate with the Gamewell-FCI 600 Series of analog
addressable control panels. The module provides the
power and supervision for the reverse polarity city tie. Pro-
gramming CTX-95 selected circuits insures that only their
alarms and troubles are transmitted to the central station.
