DANGER!

Explosion and burn hazard. Do not short terminals.

Incorrect connections can result in damage to the unit and personal injury.

Before servicing this equipment, remove all power connections.

5.1	Option Bus Circuit Wiring Distance
	Use four conductor, 18 AWG (0.8 mm2) or larger wire to connect Option Bus devices to the
	FACP. The total length of wire connected to the Option Bus terminals must not exceed 4000 ft
	(1219 m), regardless of the wire gauge used.
	The maximum length between any one device and the panel terminals depends on the current
	drawn on the branch that the device is on. The current draw on a particular branch can be
	found by adding together the individual current draws of each device connected to the
	branch. Refer to FPA-1000 Installation and Operation Guide (P/N F.01U.173.607) for detailed
	wire length calculations.

Table 9.1 LED Operation

Display

The FMR-1000-RCMD Remote Command Center uses an 80-character (4 lines x 20 characters) wide viewing-angle LCD display. The display includes a long-life LED backlight. The backlight is controlled by the panel, or locally turned on upon any key press and turned off after 30-second time-out without key press. Even when AC power is lost, the LED backlight remains lit if a user is operating the keypad.

Piezo Sounder

The FMR-1000-RCMD Remote Command Center has a piezo that provides audible indication of the system status. Refer to Table 9.2 for piezo modes when FMR-1000-RCMD is controlled by the panel:

Piezo Operation	System Status
Silent	The panel is in a normal state (no alarm, supervisory or trouble
	condition). The panel was silenced or acknowledged after an off-
	normal condition.
Continuous beep	The panel is in fire alarm condition.
Periodic beep	The panel is in gas alarm condition.
(0.5 s every 2 s)
Periodic beep	The panel is in supervisory condition.
(0.5 s every 4 s)
Periodic beep	The panel is in trouble condition or a communication fault exists
(0.5 s every 10 s)	on the Option Bus.
Short beep	With every valid key press.

Table 9.2 Piezo Operation with FMR-1000-RCMD Panel Controlled

In case of multiple piezo activation, the system status with highest priority is indicated. If the Remote Command Center is not controlled by the panel or during a communication fault, refer to Table 9.3 for piezo modes:

Piezo Operation	System Status with FMR-1000-RA Controlled Locally
Periodic beep	A communication fault exists on the Option Bus.

9.2	Lamp Test
	A lamp test is accomplished by pressing and holding the acknowledge [ACK] key for more
	than 3 seconds. All LEDs on the FMR-1000-RA are turned on and the LCD display is filled with
	black blocks when the lamp test starts. As soon as the acknowledge [ACK] key is released, the
	revision number, Option Bus address, and key lock status appear on LCD display for
	3 seconds. Then the LEDs and the LCD display return to normal working mode (controlled by
	the panel).

9.3 Keypad Operations

With the key lock in the locked position, the user can use the scroll keys only for navigating the LCD display and operate the acknowledge [ACK] key. Upon an invalid key press, the display shows “KEY LOCKED” for 3 seconds. Refer to Table 7.1 on Page 11 for key lock bypass option.

With either the key lock in unlocked position or the DIP switch setting for the key lock bypassed, the user may operate any of the device’s keys.

View Status

With no alarms or troubles in the system, the display message is "SYSTEM NORMAL" or "SYSTEM NORMAL DAY" along with the current date and time.

During initialization by start-up or re-configuration, the screen indicates "System Initializing”. The panel shows the “System Resetting” screen upon reset, until the system returns to the normal supervising condition.

If PAS or Pre-signal is turned on, the screen indicates “SYSTEM NORMAL DAY”.

Any off-normal conditions are shown in groups classified as fire alarm, gas alarm, supervisory and trouble.

Use the arrow keys to view events or conditions in the same group. Up and down keys move the user to the previous or next event. The left and right keys switch to other groups.

NOTICE!

For system display information, refer to FPA-1000 Installation and Operation Guide

(P/N F.01U.173.607).

Acknowledge

During an alarm, pressing the acknowledge [ACK] key turns off the piezo that is sounding on an annunciator. All the ongoing events or conditions are marked as “Acknowledged”. The 24-hour trouble reminder timer starts. Any trouble event not cleared within 24 hours is sent again and the piezo begins to beep again.

If a fire input point configured as "PAS enabled" (with global PAS enabled) is activated, pressing the acknowledge [ACK] key within 15 seconds after a PAS activation starts the investigation timer. This allows the user to investigate the fire alarm or take other appropriate actions until the timer expires.

An acknowledgement operation can also be initiated by the activation of an input point configured as an acknowledge type.

Silence

Pressing the silence key performs all functions of the acknowledge operation.

When the silence operation is initiated, the panel goes into a “Silenced” status and the “Silenced" LED lights. The piezos on all keypads and annunciators turn off. All outputs are silenced if configured as “Silenceable”. NACs play the “Silenced” pulse for the programmed

F.01U.078.098 | 3.0 | 2011.11

Installation and Operation Guide

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Remote Command Center	Troubleshooting | en 15

pattern, or they fully de-energize, as defined by the global option “Silence Config”. Strobes continue flashing.

If programmed, the panel transmits a silence report to the central station.

If the panel is already silenced, pressing [SILENCE] again causes an unsilence command in the panel. Silence operation does not reset the alarm status and does not return the activated input to normal service. Any new alarm reactivates any silenced outputs.

Trouble Reminder

If any events are not cleared within 24 hours after the [SILENCE] or [ACK] key was pressed, the panel turns on the piezo again and events are transmitted to the central station again.

Reset

Pressing the reset key turns off the piezo and all activated or silenced outputs. The reset operation turns off auxiliary power AUX/RST for 5 seconds, and activates the global resetting zone. All alarms, supervisories, and troubles caused by activation of SLC points are cleared. Then the panel tries to reset all points that are in off-normal status. Not all system trouble conditions are affected by the reset operation. If programmed, the panel transmits a reset report to the central station.

Any alarm or trouble that exists after a reset causes the system to sound again.

Drill

To activate the drill operation, the [DRILL] key must be pressed twice to prevent accidental activation. Pressing the key once the system prompts for confirmation. Pressing the [DRILL] key again turns on all unbypassed NACs and drillable relay outputs.

The drill operation stops if the reset key is pressed, or it is automatically cancelled if the operation was started for a programmed time. A system reset is automatically performed by stopping the drill so that the panel and all field devices restore to their normal operation.

If programmed, a drill start report and a drill stop report are transmitted to the central station.
