System overview
Functions
Peer-to-peer Communications
The FPA 1000 panels (-V2) allow peer-to-peer networking of up to eight panels in a single group supporting a system which can include up to 2000 points.
Networked panels act as a single panel – enabling all events to be displayed on all units. All connected panels can easily be programmed and controlled via any connected panel.
Ethernet, fiber optic, or 2-conductor wire inter panel connections can be mixed providing flexibility in system design.
System Management
A set of interactive Web pages gives you an instant means to access and record important system functions. This unique feature enables programming and diagnostic capabilities while offsite, streamlining installation and reducing the time required for servicing the system. And, you can check status and manage the system from virtually anywhere on the network.
Communications
The FPA 1000 panels have a dual phone line PSTN/ DACT circuit and an Ethernet connection featuring Conettix IP reporting. The panels communicate in Contact ID, SIA, and Modem IIIa2. The panels provide miscellaneous reporting functions such as dialing
control and transmission supervision, priorities of report groups, routing to destinations, manual and auto test reports, and Anti-Replay feature.
For the primary and secondary account, the following features are programmable:
•Two different phone or IP numbers
•Different dialing types for PSTN (pulse only, automatic, or tone only)
•Individual PSTN line supervision (audible and visual trouble signal in the case of a transmission path failure)
•Selectable options for Report Steering Groups
•Programmable acknowledge wait time for each IP reporting Conettix account (10 sec up to 255 sec)
•Test report frequency individually programmable for each account (4, 12, 24 hour, 7 and 28 day intervals, standard frequency 24 hour)
Applications
The panels are recommended for a wide range of commercial and public building applications, including:
•Retail – single building applications
•Education – schools and universities
•Residential - apartment buildings
•Commercial – manufacturing plants, warehouses and office complexes
•Government and Public Service – military bases and installations
•Medical – healthcare facilities
Multi-criteria Detectors
A range of pull stations, modules, accessories and detectors are available to meet the needs of your application. These include the new Automatic Fire Detector 440 Series that incorporate multi-criteria technology for higher sensitivity, faster detection, and fewer false alarms.
Gas detection
Integrated gas detection is an important element of your facility’s fire and life safety strategy. Using FCC-380 Carbon Monoxide detectors combined with an addressable monitor module, you can set your system to alarm for carbon monoxide to meet the NFPA 720 (2009) requirements for visual and audible annunciation for this hazardous gas.
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)
Two Class A Style Z or Class B Style Y NACs provide up to 4 A of 24 V power (non-synchronized: 2.5 A per NAC; synchronized: 2.75 A NAC 1 + NAC 2 in total) to operate horns, strobes, bells, and other notification appliances. Each NAC can be programmed to provide Temporal Code 4, Temporal Code 3, and steady, pulsing, and synchronized protocol output for Wheelock, Gentex, and System Sensor notification appliances.

On-board Relays
Three programmable on-board relays default to global alarm (zone 226), global system trouble (zone 227), and global system supervisory (zone 228). They can be programmed to activate on a variety of conditions including gas alarm.
Option Bus
On the Option Bus, the panels support:
•up to eight FMR-1000-RCMD Remote Command Centers and FMR-1000-RA Remote Annunciators in any combination
•up to eight D7030X Series LED Annunciators with eight LED zones each,
•up to eight D7030X Series/D7032 combinations
•up to two Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver Modules
•up to four FPP RNAC 8A 4C Remote Notification Appliance Circuit Power Supplies.
The outputs of the Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver Modules are fully programmable, and can be activated by system events. These outputs have the same programming options as the local relays. Each output operates independently of the other seven to provide complete flexibility. Communication with the D7035/B or D7048/B is supervised.
Power
A transformer working with 120 VAC or 240 VAC is supplied standard with the control panel. Two backup batteries with 7 Ah to 18 Ah each fit inside the fire panel cabinet. A separate battery box can provide higher capacity. An automated battery calculator sheet is available online to aid in battery selection and submittal paperwork.
The panels provide two auxiliary power supplies (one FWR and one DC) with 0.5 A at 24 V each, with switchable AUX/RST. This auxiliary power can run expansion boards or other low current auxiliary devices.
For installations requiring battery capacity higher than 40 Ah, a regulated and UL1481 Listed external power supply can be used. The external power supply connects through the panel's battery terminals and is supervised for AC and battery fault by an input module on the SLC.
The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C Remote NAC Booster adds four additional Notification Appliance Circuits (NFPA 72, Class A Style Z or Class B Style Y) to the fire panel or serves as a power supply for fire protective signaling systems. This regulated power supply provides up to 8 A of power that is used to recharge batteries and operate continuous and intermittent alarm loads. This 8 A of power can be distributed through the four NAC Power Supply circuits that are part of the FPP- RNAC-8A-4C. The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is UL Listed for use in commercial fire alarm applications.
Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs)
The panels communicate with each of the analog addressable devices located on the SLCs. The SLCs allow the use of standard non twisted, non shielded wiring. Each panel supports two Class B, Style 4 or one Class A, Style 6 or 7 per SLC.

Installation/configuration notes
Mounting Considerations
The cabinet can be either semi-flush (requires optional FPM 1000 SFMK Semi-flush Mounting Kit) or surface mounted.
Depending on the configuration and the battery selection, the FPA 1000 can be quite heavy. When attaching the enclosure to a surface, use mounting hardware (not supplied) capable of supporting this weight, and reinforce the wall as necessary.
Wiring Considerations
The length of wire allowed between the control panel and the last device on a wiring run depends on the current drawn on that wiring run. Reducing the number of devices on a wiring run allows the individual runs to be longer.
If not otherwise specified, use wire gauge 12 AWG to 18 AWG (ISO 4 mm2 to 0.75 mm2).
Notice
Shared cable is not recommended for the Option Bus, addressable points bus, telephone, or NAC wiring. Do not run wiring for NAC, Option Bus, and SLC in the same conduit. Avoid shielded or twisted-pair wire except for network connections and special applications where a reduced length of wiring (roughly 50%) is acceptable for tolerating a harsh electrical environment.
Point Capacity/Configuration
Each FPA-1000-V2 panel supports up to 508 addresses, 254 per loop. For addresses above 127 on each loop, only the FAA 325 B6S Sounder base, FAP 325 V2F Smoke Detector, FLM 325-I4 A, FLM 325 I4 AI, and FLM-325-IM Contact Monitors, FLM 325 NA4 and FLM 325 NAI4 Supervised Output Modules, FLM-325-2R4-2A and FLM 325 2R4 2AI 2 A Dual Relay Modules, and FLM 325 2R4 8A and FLM 325 2R4 8AI 8 A Dual Relay Modules can be used.
