2. Installation Considerations
i
Caution:
D Do not remove the plastic film from the detector head until construction of the installation area is
finished.
D Protect the detector sensor windows from paint or contaminates. Remove the detector head during
remodelling and store it in a clean dr y location.
. If you do not follow these cautions, the detector might not operate.
Detector Location and Spacing:
D BOSCH recommends spacing the sensors in compliance with NFPA-72. In low air flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space sensors with a maximum distance of 30 ft. For specific information regarding
sensor spacing, placement and special application refer to NFPA-72.
D Not suitable for outdoor use.
D Do not install in areas where the detector is pointed at
direct or indirect sunlight.
D Do not mount detector in a cone of light from a lamp.
D Maintain a hemispherical radius of at least 19 in.
(50 cm) around the detector (see Fig. 1.).
Insure that this area in front and to the sides of the
detector is kept clear of all obstructions (see Fig. 1.).
Further Considerations:
D Only use end-of-line (EOL) resistors supplied or specified by the control panel manufacturer.
D Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.
D This detector must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual.
D Install, test and maintain this device according to this installation guide, NFPA-72, Local Codes and the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Failure to follow these procedures may cause the device to not
function properly. Bosch Security Systems is not responsible for any devices that are improperly
installed, tested or maintained.
For proper installation, read and understand NFPA-72, The National Fire Alarm Code before installation.

3. Installation
Dismantling Detector
1. Push on the center of the detector’s front plate. The detector head springs out of the base.
2. Remove the detector head from the base.
3. Lift the trim ring by the edge to remove it from the base.
4. Loosen the four screws holding the base to the backbox.
5. Turn the base counter-clockwise until the screws line up with the large end of the slots. Remove the base
from the back box.

Inserting Color Rings (FCP-500-C-P and FCP-500-P)
1. Select a color.
2. From the selected color, insert the largest color ring in the trim ring.
3. Remove the detector front plate:
Insert the enclosed small opener tool (2) into the slot (3) above the
snap-fit (1) and secure it with your thumb. Grasp the edges of the detector
front plate, push gently, turn counter-clockwise, and lift.
4. From the selected color, insert the larger color ring in the outer ring, and
the smaller color ring in the inner ring of the detector front plate (see
Fig. 3.).
5. Replace the front plate cover. Ensure the tabs on the cover align with the
grooves in the detector head. The cover will lie flat on the detector head.
6. Turn the cover clockwise to lock it into place.
Note:
If the cover aligns properly, all the sensor openings in the detector head
are clearly exposed.
Ceiling Mount Back Box (FAA-500-BB-UL)
D For installation, refer to the FAA-500-BB-UL Installation Guide
(P/N 601-F.01U.003.008).
Wiring the Base (FCA-500 and FCA-500-E)
In applications which require UL listed units, the power of all connections (detector
i
power, trouble and alarm relay) must be taken from power limited supplies when the
cable is carried through the grommets.
Please check with the local authorities to insure mounting without the conduit connector
is allowed.

Note:
D Do not twist or loop the wires around the terminals. The wires for terminal connection must be cut,
stripped, and inserted as individual ends.
D Use the cable holders on the base for strain relief for the wires.
An FCA-500-E Four-Wire EOL Base is required
i
D EOL resistor: The last base on the stub line has to
be a FCA-500-E. For this, place the EOL resistor
between the two screw clamps (see Fig. 4.).
D Alarm resistor: If neccessar y, change the alarm
contact resistance from 0 Ω to 680 Ω by breaking
off the printed circuit board tongue (see Fig. 4.).
Bosch Security Systems
D for single detector installations
D always as the last base for each stub line.
An EOL resistor can only be attached to the FCA-500-E Four-Wire EOL Base.
For 680 Ω break off alarm resistor here!

Mounting the Base (FCA-500 and FCA-500-E)
1. Insert the base in the back box so that it fits over the four screws.
2. Turn the base clockwise until it stops to lock it in place.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if you install multiple detectors in a line.
4. Slightly turn each base until the mark on the base aligns with the
other detectors’ marks (see Fig. 8.).
5. Tighten the screws with the supplied wrench.

Inserting the Detector Head
1. Remove the protective film from the detector head.
2. Snap the trim ring into place on the base.
3. Place the detector head in the base and turn it until the detector head drops into the alignment grooves.
4. Push the center of the detector until it locks into place. It clicks and springs up.
Start-up
1. Check the wiring from the control panel to the last head on the run for proper polarity and continuity.
2. Make sure each run terminates with an EOL resistor as specified by the control panel manufacturer.
3. Apply power to the system. Check for alarm and troubles.
4. If single detectors alarmed or went in trouble, check if there is a free space of at least 19 in. (50 cm)
around these detectors. If the problem persists, replace these detectors or swap them with known good
units. If also the good units alarm or go in trouble, the sensitivity may have been affected by the
surrounding environment. Recheck if there are any obstructions around the detector which may reflect
the light emitted by the detector.
5. Activate the dr y reed contact of each detector for 10 sec with a magnet until the detector alarms (see
Section 5., Dry Reed Contact and Section 6., Electronical Function Test ). Then reset the detector by
removing the power for at least 2 seconds. After the reset, the detector will calibrate itself to the
surrounding environment.. Make sure that no objects or obstructions (like the test tool SOLO330 itself)
are in front of the detector during calibration for 15 sec.
After installation each detector must be calibrated. If there are any obstruction in front of

4. Maintenance and Service
D Trained personnel should perform a visual and physical test according Table 6 as recommended by
NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
D For cleaning the detector surface, use a common window cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.

Note:
D The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P must be replaced every five years. The chemical (CO) sensor turns off
at five years of operation. The LED double-flashes ever y 8 to 12 sec, indicating trouble, and the detector
continues to function as an optical (O) detector.

1. Activate the dr y reed contact (Section 5, Dry Reed Contact).
2. Leave the magnet on the test tool by the dry reed contact for 5 sec. Count 5 flashes of the LED.
3. Remove the test tool. Refer to Table 8 for the LED Display.

8. Smoke Test for the FCP-500 / FCP-500-P
Note: No testing gas (smoke aerosol) is required! For testing use only:
- Test Tool for Optical Smoke Detectors Solo 330 (Product ID 4.998.112.071)
- with FAA-500-TTL Test Adapter with Magnet (Product ID F.01U.508.725)
1. Activate the dr y reed contact (Section 5., Dry Reed Contact).
2. Leave the magnet on the test tool by the dry reed contact for at least 2 sec and not more than 4 sec.
Count two flashes of the LED. The detector stays in test mode for 60 sec. The green LED blinks once a
second.
3. Hold the test tool under the detector so that the test beaker is flush with the trim ring.
Note: Do not tip the test tool, or the detector might come loose.
4. By covering the scattered light areas, both optical sensors are triggered simultaneously (no smoke
aerosol is required).
5. This can take up to 20 sec. An alarm activates and the red LED lights. If the panel is in test mode, the
alarm resets automatically.

an alarm activates and the red LED lights steady. Don’t reset the detector.
2. If over 70 ppm of carbon monoxide is applied to the detector, the red LED of the detector starts flashing.
This indicates that the carbon monoxide sensor is working.
3. Reset the detector by removing the power.

The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P detect carbon monoxide (CO) as a component of a fire.
It is not a CO detector and cannot activate an alarm in the presence of CO only. It is
used to adjust the sensitivity of the smoke detector.
Perform the CO sensor test once a year to confirm that the sensor is functioning.
