ruptions on this type of output.

Bypassable(Disabled) outputs The user will be able to disable (by means of the respective key) this type of output.

Silenceable outputs The user will be able to stop (via

the Silence/Resound Sounders key) this type of output. The outputs can be silenced for an indefinite period (du

ring Day Mode), or for the programmed Silence Time (during Night Mode).

INTRODUCTION 5

Operating Features

Warning The FC501 control panel can be program

med to provide WARNINGS or PREALARMS status be

fore ALARM status. This status will be signalled by the WARNING display. The panel will generate a warning when an input point (detector) exceeds its warning threshold and there is risk of an alarm.

-WARNING STATUS will be signalled by:

control panel buzzer (2 sec. of sound at 440 Hz and then 2 sec. of pause)

a WARNING message on LCD display

the WARNING output points if the Pre-alarm option is enabled;

Pre-alarm If a zone generates an alarm during Day Mode, the Control panel will start the Pre-alarm Time. This status will be signalled by:

control panel buzzer (0,5 sec. of sound at 880 Hz and then 0,5 sec. of pause);

Blinking on the Pre-al. LED (for the first 8 zones only);

Message ALARM+DLY on LCD display;

Activation of respective outputs , if the Pre-alarm option is enabled;

This Control panel will generate an Instant Alarm if alarm conditions are detected during Night Mode or if an alarm is triggered from a Callpoint.

During Pre-alarm status, you will be able to (see Access to Signalling and Commands): Ø Access Level L1 activate an Evacuation Alarm by

pressing and holding the Evacuate Key ( ),

Ø Access Level L2 stop the Silenceable outputs and

interrupt the Pre-alarm Time by pressing the Silence

key ( ).

During Silence status ( Silence LED glowing), it is

possible to use the Silence key to release the Si

lenceable outputs, or use the ( ) Reset key to resto

re standby status.

If the Control panel is operating in Night Mode, the Control panel will exit from Silence status automati

cally when the programmed Silence Time expires

Alarm The Control panel will generate an alarm when the Pre-Alarm Time expires. Alarm status will be si

gnalled by:

control panel buzzer (0,2 sec. of sound at 3300 Hz and then 0,2 sec. of pause);

glowing of the Alarm LED ( )

an alarm message on LCD display;

activation of the FIRE and SC1 outputs;

activation of other outputs SC2, OC1 o OC2 if pro

grammed.

During Alarm status, (see Access to Signalling and Commands) it is possible:

Access Level 2 stop the Silenceable outputs by

pressing the Silence key ( );

Access Level 2 press the Reset key ( ) and Silen

ce Buzzer ( )

During Silence status (Silence LED glowing), it is pos

sible to use the Silence key to release the Silenceable outputs, and the Reset key to restore standby status.

If the Control panel is in Night Mode (Day Mode LED OFF), the Control panel will exit Silence sta

tus when the programmed Night mode Silence time expires

Day/Night Mode The control panel can operate in DAY or NIGHT Mode. See “PC PROGRAMMING” chapter. If the system is silenced during DAY Mode, SILENCE status will be held until the system is unsilenced (i.e. un

less new alarms occurs). If the system is silenced du

ring NIGHT Mode, SILENCE status will be held until the Night Mode Silence time expires. On power up (at default) the system will set to DAY Mode. During this operating mode, silenced alarms/fa

ults will not be unsilenced automatically until the Night Mode Silence time expires.

Fault This Control panel can detect and signal the Faults shown in the Table n.1:

Fault conditions will be signalled by: Ø control panel buzzer (1 sec. of sound at 660 Hz and

then 1 sec. of pause);

Ø glowing on the Fault LED ( ) and on relative Fault

LED;

a Fault message on LCD display;

activation of the Fault output;

activation of other outputs SC2, OC1 or OC2 if pro

grammed.

The Fault output and any additional programmed fault outputs (if correctly programmed by Installer) will resto

re to standby automatically when fault conditions clear. Under certain circumstances, fault conditions may clear spontaneously, if this occurs, the event will be stored in the memory until the Control panel Resets. Stored Fault events will be signalled by:

slow blinking on the Fault LED ( ).

Silence

This Control panel provides a Silence key

( ) which can be used to restore the Silenceable outputs to standby status. Silence status will be signalled by:

glowing on the Silence LED ( ).

Silence status will be held until the Silence key ( ) is pressed again or, if the Control panel is operating in

Night Mode, until the programmed Night mode Silen

ce time expires, or until a new Alarm condition is detec

ted.

les, Output modules).

Every detector and module connected to the loops must be assigned a unique address.

You can use 2 or 4 wires for the loop connections.

NOTE: The loop connection type must be specified du

ring the programming phase. Figure 6 illustrates the 2-wire connection to Loop1. Figure 8 illustrates the 4-wire connection to Loop2.

Whatever the type of connection performed, make sure that any short circuit or open circuit in the wi

ring does not lead to the loss of more than 32 de

tectors. An isolator should be fitted at least every 32 detectors.

If the connection is 2-wire connection type, addres

An example of how to connect two FC500REP repeaters in Figure 7.

The RS485 port of the FC500 (terminals [M], [+], [-] and [24V]) accepts up to 4 FC500REP repeaters;

Terminals [+] and [-] supply the power (27.6 V) to the repeater panels (see figure 7). When a mains fault occurs, the Repeaters considerably decreases the absorbed power, switching off the LCD display backlighting (the LCD display backlighting swit

ches on again, for 20 sec. when a key will be pressed). But the absorption of the Repeaters connected to the control panel, will contribute to run down the backup batteries, and so the decrease of the Stand-by supply

time of the system. As one control panel only is in the system all the Repea

ters must be supplied by the control panel itself, unless a Power supply Station is in the system.

Use only shielded cable, with one end of the shield connected to the earth terminal of the Control pa

nel and the other left free; the continuity, between several segments of connection must be secured.

Connecting Output Devices

The control panel has supervised outputs, NON super

vised outputs and 2 Bell outputs.

Output devices can be connected to the loops by means of Output modules.

Bell Outputs

The Bell outputs are indicated by the letter SC and their address number.

The SC1, and SC2 Bell Outputs are Supervised, Silenceable, Bypassable (Disabled) SC2 also Pro

grammable.

The Bell outputs can be forced to standby status by me

ans of the SILENCE button. Once an alarm has been acknowledged, you can silence the audible signalling devices and leave the visual signalling devices active until the alarm conditions cease.

For example, a connection similar to the wiring diagram in figure 10 will activate the Flasher, the Bell and the visual and audible signalling device of the Self-powered Siren in the event of an alarm.

Using the SILENCE button will stop the horn but not the flasher, which will continue to signal Alarm status until the RESET button is pressed.

Connecting the Power Supply

The power circuits of this Control panel comply with the EN54-4 standard.

In order to comply with the Safety regulations in force, the Mains must be equipped with a bi

polar isolating device for protection against over voltage and short-circuit to Earth (e.g. au

tomatic isolating switch).

This Control panel is powered from the Mains (230V 50/60 Hz) through a switching power supply, located inside the case. The FC501-L Control panel provides housing for two 12V, 7Ah or 12Ah maximum batteries; the FC501-H Control panel can be connected to two 12V, 12Ah or 38Ah in an external metal box (see Figure

14) for power during Mains failure.

The non-volatile memory will hold the programmed data at all times.

In the event of MAIN failure, the: AMBER Power Supply LED will turn ON.

The Control panel will check the batteries at all times, (refer to Static Test and Dynamic Test).

Static Test

The Static Test monitors the battery charge during Mains failure. In the event of Low battery status (below 22.8 V), the Low Battery LED will turn ON. If this occurs, the Mains power must be restored before the batteries empty, otherwise, the system will shutdown.

Dynamic Test

The Dynamic Test monitors the operating capacity of the batteries. In the event of a Failed Test result (batteries do not meet the Test requirements), the No Battery LED will turn ON. If this occurs, the backup battery must be replaced im

mediately, otherwise, the system will be unable to fun

ction in the event of Mains failure (black-out).

Work carefully through the following steps to connect the Mains Supply.

1. Locate the backup batteries in the housing (see Fi

gure 2). Secure the batteries to the backplate of the panel, using the cable ties, in the appropriate ope

ning.

2. Using the Jumper (supplied), connect the batteries in series.

3. Observing the battery polarity, connect the battery terminals to terminals -BAT+ on Main Board (wires supplied).

4. FC501-L use 7 or 12Ah @ 12 V YUASA batteries; FC501-H/FC501H-K use 12 or 38Ah @ 12 V

YUASA batteries or similar with case flame class UL94-V2 (or higher).

5. Connect the switching power supply BAQ35T24/BAQ60T24 with the ‘external power supply (Main): connect the Earth wire to the [Q] ter

minal on the mains terminal block 48.

6. Connect the Neutral wire to terminal [N], and the Live wire to terminal [L] on the terminal board 48.

7. Connect the BAQ connector 50 to the main Board

connector 16.

The Control panel will reset on power up.

DO NOT allow the power cable to cross over ot

her wiring (see Figure 2). The power cable must be routed and held firmly in place by a two ca

ble tie.

Thermal Probe

This Control panel supports the KST thermal probe. The probe will optimize the battery charging process by regulating the charge voltage in accordance with the battery temperature.

Work carefully through the following instructions (refer to the figure 13:

1. Connect the probe 54 to the connector 45 on the BAQ35T24/BAQ60T24 switching Power supply.

2. Attach the probe to one of the batteries, in such a way as to obtain optimum heat transfer.

3. Measure the Probe temperature.

4. Using the graph in Figure 12 and/or Table 7, find

the value (in accordance with the battery temperature) that the output voltage of the Switching Power Supply will be based on.

5. Using the trimmer 46, adjust the voltage on the ter

minal board 47 to the required value.

To verify the battery efficiency, the charger circuit will measure the internal resistance of the batte

ries. In order for this measure is not distorted, you should use only the cables supplied; cables that are longer and/or have an insufficient section may erroneously simulate the condition of an inefficient battery.

sociated with 1 of the available software zones (32 for FC501).

Led blinking: if this option is enabled, the Manual Call Point LED will blink every Loop scanning.

Zones programming

The Zones option from the panel tree menu will al

low you to access the software-zone parameters (see Figure 25). The software zones parameters will be applied automatically to all the devices asso

ciated with the zone concerned.

GENERAL section (FIRST section);

Enabled:atick[

3] indicates that the zone is ena

bled.

Label: this is for the editable device-label (up to 20 characters). The system will use the label as

the zone identifier. OPTIONS section: a number of parameters can be programmed in this section. Walk test:

Active: if this option is enabled, the zones in alarm status will activate the programmed Outputs with Walk test event, while the control panel will not gene

rate an alarm. Select if the event is fired by: Any device means Modules + CP + Detectors, CallPoints means CPs only, Detectors means Modules + Detectors (No CPs).

Prealarm:

Prealarm: if this option is enabled, the control panel will activate the ALARM delay.

Double Knock: if this option is enabled and the zone is in Prealarm status, when an other devices (other address) associated to this zone are activated, the zone will immediately generate an Alarm status.

if "Use zone settings" option is not checked for a de

vice, it means that you can individually decide, for that device, if it has to process Warning and/or Prea

larm. Once you have decided that the device proces

ses prealarm, its activation will cause Prelarm of the panel (with panel prealarm time) and, because it be

longs to a zone, that zone will go into the prealarm status. If another point belonging to the zone goes into Prealarm, the Double Knock option becomes active if enabled in Zone programming page.

Prealarm Duration: an input device programmed with Prealarm time will generate ALARM status when the prealarm time elapses. (see parameters programming detector). Select the Prealarm time. The prealarm time can be set from 0 seconds to 300 seconds in 1-second steps. Other:

Ø Drift Compensation: see the same option in “Para-

meters detectors Programming”;

Ø Detector Warning: if this option is enabled the con-

trol panel will activate a WARNING signal. N.B. To activate the Warning option for a Module, tick the corresponding box on the Module program

ming screen.

Smoke delay: for each zone, you can program the dela

yed activation of the smoke detectors. The SMOKE DELAY (60s/30min) parameter, when set, applies to all smoke detectors assigned to the selected zone the alarm verification algorithm as described in the EN54-2, (see page 51).

Ø Call attempts – Set the maximum number of at-

tempts that the PSTN interface makes for each Telephone Number: set from 1 to 9, the default setting is 3 attempts.

Ø Iterations – Set the number of times the PSTN inter-

face repeats the Voice Message: set from 1 to 9, the default setting is 3;

Tone Check – If enabled , the PSTN interface con

trols whether it could obtain a Dialling Tone,ifitcould obtain it move to the next step, otherwise it will consider the phone call failed, hang up and try again;

Call All Telemonitoring – If the Call all Telemonito

ring numbers option is enabled, the PSTN Interface

calls all the numbers which have been programmed for the event which has occurred, up to the time when all telephone calls succeed or, at the most, for the number of Call Attempts which has been programmed. If the Call All Telemonitoring numbers option is disabled, the PSTN Interface will interrupt the call as soon as it succeeds.

If the Call All Voice Messages numbers option is enabled (default setting), the PSTN Interface will call all programmed numbers for the event which has occurred, until all phone calls fully succeed ac

cording to the number of Call Attempts which have been programmed. If the Call All Voice Messages numbers option is disabled, the PSTN Interface will interrupt the calls as soon as one is successful.

In the section PLAY MESSAGE AFTER, sets the con

dition for the playing back of the Voice Message.

Dialing - the Message is played back as soon as the Telephone number is dialled.

Voice - the message is played back when the PSTN Interface detects a voice answer.

Delay - the Message is played back when the pro

grammed Delay elapses after that the Telephone number has been dialled: the Delay could be set from 0 up to 99 seconds, with 1 second steps; the de

fault setting is 0 seconds.

In the section PERIODIC REPORT: sets the parameters corresponding to the Period Test, as described below:

Date and Time First Test – Set the date and time for the first Periodic Test.

Period – Set the interval between two Periodic Tests: the interval can be set from 1 up to 25 hours, in steps of one hour; the default setting is 24 hours.

The Periodic Test event IS NOT recorded in the Events Log.

The section ADDRESS BOOK is used to program the telephone numbers that can be used to send:

-Voice Messages (Dialler function) or

-Telemonitoring data, when the events, recognized by the panel, will occur. In the case of Telemonitoring, select: the type of protocol (SIA, ADEMCO Contact ID) and:

°C, ppm, %, V, etc., depending on the device type). While the FC501 Console is running, the user can choose whether to work in Normal mode of commu

nication (communication with the panel takes place only when required), or in Real Time mode. The communication in Real Time mode is activated by

the button , and start a session of continuous com

munication with the control panel. While the FC501 Console is in Real time mode, it con

stantly receives data from the panel, and provides the user with feedback on the changes of status of the con

trol panel. The communication in Real Time mode pro

vides the user with two additional controls: Events in real time, and Remote control. The Event log in real time is similar to that found in the “Event Log” page, but it is updated constantly, and always shows the last 16 events generated by the control panel. The remote control panel is used to send commands to the Fire Panel as if a graphical interface were being used. This feature will allow the user to remotely press the functional buttons that are present on the panel user interface:

Silence, Reset, Investigation, Lamp test, Silence Buz

zer, Evacuate. The sending of a remote command to the panel through this interface will require the SW User to insert the pa

nel’s User or Installer password for security reasons. A control keypad will be shown to request the password when commands are sent to the fire panel. The remote control panel also shows the detailed status of the connected fire panel, and provides a ready visualization of status changes.

A second click on the button , ends the communication in real time mode and returns to normal mode. The User mode provides the use of Graphics Maps. The activation procedure follows. Ø 1) First, it is necessary to create the tree structure to

contain the Graphics map. Click on the icon and define the first map/background, click on the icon

‘to import it.

The system of Graphic maps allows the use of vector graphics file (WMF) as well as the more tra

ditional bitmap formats (BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG).

PC PROGRAMMING 41

Figure 31 Remote Control display

This is the map that will be shown in the condition of ab

sence of events.

2) Do the same for more level of maps and insert in each node of the tree structure its plan (e.g. the pictu

re of the building, the floor where the system is instal

led and the installation plan).

3) Use the icon to delete any map/structure.

4) Insert the devices on the maps; after the map has been selected, click on the name of the installation, in the same window, under the tree. A list of all devi

ces on the loop will be shown. At this point it is suffi

cient to drag the selected device in the relevant position on the map in question.

5) The final map consists of a series of separate pa

ges linked together and easily accessible with a few mouse clicks, or by accessing to the tree diagram.

The Graphic Map, in Real time, is shown in a dedica

ted window. It is possible to analyze more than one device at a time, but each new image requires additio

nal system resources. Consequently, to analyze more than four devices simultaneously is inadvisable

In Real-time mode, the Graphic map is normally shown in stand-by status (first map/Background).

6) When the fire panel detects and reports a changed status of detector or module, the FC501 console re

places the icon of the detector with the icon of the event (Fire Alarm, Fault, etc.).

Ø 7) The FC501 console activates the Graphic map

where the detector/module has changed status. Through the connection between the activated map and the first map/background of higher level, the area associated will blink.

8) Use the icon to realize the drawing of possi

ble areas, that will blink when the contained devices will be activated. To close the area: a double click using the Dx button.

9) Use the icon to delete any devices or areas, after they are selected.

For more info about the functioning and use of Graphic maps, follow the Help, accessible both by main menu and by the Graphic maps.

Disable The Disable page (click-on the right button on the selected device) is available only when the FC501 Console communicates in Real Time. The items that can be disabled/enabled are: devices, zones. Before sending a Disable/Enable command, the FC501 Console prompts to enter the User password.

PROGRAMMING FROM THE PANEL

Read through the following section carefully, in order to get an overall view of how to use the User interface Program

ming (Main panel) of control panel. For details regarding the parameters of each phase, refer to the respective para

graph in the “PROGRAMMING FROM A PC” chapter.

Using the system

The FC501 system can be managed from the User in

terface (main panel) and/or through the FireClass Con

sole application. The User interface (main panel) allows access to different authorized Level . There are three different access levels, as follows.

L1= First Level: this level allows the Reading of Para

meters ONLY:

-ANALYZE button (see Figure 32) views the status of the: LOOP, DEVICE, SW ZONES, OUTPUT, NETWORK, TELECOM, OPTIONS, LOG and the FW Vers.;

-View LOG;

-View Lists button views the lists of: DIS. ZONES, DIS. DEVICES, DIS. PARTS, WALK TEST, FAULTS, WARNINGS and Dev. in TEST. L2= Second Level or USER Level: access to this level requires entry of the USER PIN (Access Level 2). This level allows all the operations of the First Level, but also allows you to MODIFY:

-MODIFY button for: Init MSG (MESSAGE), L2 USER PASSWORD, DAY/NIGHT, TIME and DATE, CLEAR LOG and ZONE WALK TEST ;

-DISABLE button for: DIS LISTS, DEVICE, SW ZONES, OUTPUT, NETWORK, COMMUNIC. L3= Third Level or INSTALLER Level: access to this level requires entry of the INSTALLER PIN (Access Level 3). This level allows all the operations of the First and Se

cond Level, but also allows you to program the system; the Programming phase allows the installer to program the control panel and peripheral devices (detectors, modules, repeater), in detail: AUTO, DEVICES, SW ZONES, OUTPUTS, NETWORK, MAP DEVICE, USB, SYSTEM, DEFAULT and PWD L3.

Operating the system from the Panel

To manage the system from the User interface (Main panel) the Alphanumeric keypad, the Cursor keys, the ESC Key & the ENTER key are used.

The use of the keypad, cursor keys, ESC key & Enter key is explained in detail in the following sec

tions.

Alphanumeric entry (Editing text)

Use the Alphanumeric keypad to create labels and en

ter data and codes. The string must be 20 characters max.

Alphanumeric keypad Each time the alphanumeric key is pressed in the selected position, pointed by the cursor, the characters printed on the key will appear in sequence and cyclically. 1= ABC, 2= DEF, 3= GHI, 4= JKL, 5= MNO, 6= PQR, 7=STU, 8=VWX, 9=YZ.

0 key: is used to create a space and to clear the po

sition of used string.

Cursor keys

Use the UP key for upper-case letters and the DOWN key for lower-case letters. Use LEFT and RIGHT keys to scroll along the line, then press the alphanumeric key to insert in the selected position.

ENTER key Once the text has been completed, press the ENTER key to confirm and step forward, or in the main page signaling a local programming activity followed by a panel reset.

ESC Key

The ESC key is used to cancel the operation

and to step back to previous page.

For additional functionality about the keys use, see the User Manual, Chapter "User Interface".

The following pages show all possible operations managed at Level 3 ( Installer Level). The operation managed at Level L1 and L2 (User Level) are shown in the User Manual.

Assistant text composition

To make the entry of text strings easier, an assisted procedure has been included, based on a pre-compiled 128 words (18 char max) vocabulary. When one of the numeric keys is pressed to enter a letter, the first word in the vocabulary beginning with that letter will be inser

ted. The upper and down arrow will load the next or the previous, respectively, word in the vocabulary. This "as

sisted entry procedure" is entered or leaved keep pres

sed the UP key for more than 3s, while pressing for more than 3s the DOWN key the "assisted entry proce

dure" is leaved and the normal single characters entry is active (see Figure 34). When the "assisted entry pro

cedure" is active the string "Vocabulary ON" blinks on the upper right area of the LCD display. In the "Vocabu

PROGRAMMING FROM THE PANEL 43

lary area" is displayed the word currently selected (row aligned with the "Entry area"), the word that precede in the vocabulary (upper row) and the word that follow (lo

wer row). In the "Entry area" are displayed the words used to compose the label. To entry a word it is neces

sary to press the numeric key (more than one time if ne

cessary) related to the first letter of the word that have to be entered, in this case the first word in the vocabulary that begins with the expected letter is entered. If this word isn’t the wanted one, it is possible to scroll the vo

cabulary using the UP and DOWN keys until a suitable word is found. During the vocabulary scanning the word in the centered row is entered in the "Entry area"at the cursor position. Using the LEFT and RIGHT keys it is possible to move the cursor at the beginning of each single word.

Single Selection

Automatic zones assignment

After few seconds: the panel will prompt to choose the type of automatic zones assignment.

This feature allows to assign the zone to each enrolled detector, and define the first trigger zone for the activa

tion of all outputs channels in the enrolled modules.

The possible schemes used to assigned the zones are proposed to the installer by the panel during the enroll process (see Figure 41d): 1 = on Loop basis 2 = on device address basis 3 = no assignment.

Three different schemes are possible:

Scheme 1): all the devices located on loop1 will be assi

gned to zone 1; all the devices located on loop 2 will be assigned to zone 2; all the devices located on loop 3 will be assigned to zone 3. Scheme 2) From address 01 to address 16 assigned to zone 1 From address 17 to address 32 assigned to zone 2 From address 33 to address 48 assigned to zone 3 From address 49 to address 64 assigned to zone 4 From address 65 to address 80 assigned to zone 5 From address 81 to address 96 assigned to zone 6 From address 97 to address 112 assigned to zone 7 From address 113 to address 128 assigned to zone 8.

Scheme 3)

All the devices found all over the loop are assigned to zone #0 (system zone).

The previous zone assignment schemes are ap

plied also to the first "trigger zone" in the case of output only devices (sounder, beacon, SNM modu

le) or output channel of Input/output devices. After the Zones assignment is selected

For devices already addressed (1-128) the zone assignment procedure is that explained above (see Figure 42d). For not addressed devices, if you choose ESC at the end of Auto addressing, the pa

nel assigns the zone based on the loop, but if you choose ENTER the panel assigns the zone based on its address (see table on page 57, 58, 59)

In this phase, the Alphanumeric Keypad only is active:

Alphanumeric keypad used to select the appropriate zone assignment scheme 1÷ 3.

Attention: when the Enrolling is done, the devices programming data (except their assigned names) will restore to the factory defaults; therefore a pre

vious configuration will be lost (Selection 1).

Auto addressing procedure

For auto-addressing is intended a sequence of operation that allows to the installer to make all the devices acces

sible by the panel without executing any previous confi

guration action on the devices , during their installation phase (device acquire phase).This involves for the in

staller, no longer necessary the use of the FC490ST, the programming Tool of the Loop devices, and conse

quently is no longer needed the procedure for the ma

nual assignment of the devices addresses. Furthermore the auto-addressing procedure have to be able to allow to the installer to know or set the geographical position of the devices in the site (device mapping phase). The Auto addressing procedure is part of the loop devi

ces enroll process in the FC501 panel. The loop devi

ces enroll process is initiated by the installer:

- press the 1 key to enter in PROGRAMMING mode. Enter the Installer PIN (00000) at default, each digit will

be masked by

* (star).

- Select option 1: AUTO (see notes on page 57, 58). After all the devices are initialized in Loop: the panel will prompt to choose the type of automatic zones assig

nment : 1 = according to the Loop 2 = based on the addresses of the devices 3 = do not assign. Made the choice, the panel get to the results phase:

press the ENTER key to activate the AUTOADDRESSING phase;

or press ESC to the FAULT page (not addressable

devices) By default, any addressable device has the address 255; the fire panel examines the serial number of each device and assigns each an address from 1 to 128. If the control panel finds a device with a different address than default (255) it leaves the address set at that device.

The control panel is ready to work, at this time, (with the default basic programming)

BY DEVICE

“Unique”, in the time field, indicates that it is the only device of it's type on the loop. For example if only one FC410DDM module is used in the system, it is tagged as “Unique” so it is not necessary to activate it , the installer knows where it is. “Active”, in the time field, indicates that the relevant device is active, it is applicable ONLY to the output device type like sounders, beacons, SNM modules, etc., When the installer, scanning the list of previously auto-addressed devices, reaches an output-only device type, this device becomes active (a sounder starts to sound, a beacon starts to flash, an output module illuminates its LED) until a new device is selected or the permanent address is entered. In this way it will be possible to locate where the device is.

If for requirements of the system, the installer wants to set the system: example set the address 1 to detector 1, address 2 to detector 2, and so on:

press the ENTER key, so the fire panel initiates the MAPPING DEVICES phase. First phase:

In this phase, the installer must activate in sequence, moving in the plant, all input devices: detectors, in

put modules, Manual Call Point, and then return in front of the fire panel.

Report the sequence of activation on the map of system. The fire panel will store the activation sequence (even temporarily). The installer using the User Interface UP and DOWN key will start to examine the first activated device.

Select the device, the address will blink, so the instal

ler can change the address. Press ENTER to confirm. At this point the address will became fixed.

If the ENTER key is pressed again, the installer can switch to programming phase of the device in question.

"Unique”, indicates that it is the only device of it’s type on the loop. So it is not necessary to activate it, the in

staller knows where it is. Second phase: In this phase, the installer examines the sounders,the beacons and the output module. Ø When the installer, scanning the list of previously

auto-addressed devices, reaches an output-only device type, this device becomes active (a sounder starts to sound, a beacon starts to flash, an output module illuminates its LED) until a new device is selected or the permanent address is entered.

In this way it is possible to locate where the device is.

The enroll process doesn’t take place until all loop wiring trouble have been removed.

The auto-addressing procedure have to be used when on the loop there are NG1 devices, otherwise it doesn’t have effect.

The device mapping process doesn’t take place until all double address faults have been removed

QUICK START-UP PROCEDURE

This procedure allows the quick start-up of the FC501 fire detection system. When the loops are wired, electrically verified and all the devices have been installed in to the loop, it is pos

sible to connect the loops terminals to the panel.

Before powering-on the Fire control panel, ensure that the Earth Line has been connected.

PROCEDURE

1. At first panel power-on will start a FW procedure to

verify/program if some vital information for the User Interface and for the panel, are programmed and are consistent. These information are:

Ø Selected language Ø Panel Identification number Ø The panel Type (FC501-L/FC501-H) Ø Installed batteries capacity (7Ah/12Ah/38Ah)

2. After have verified/programmed the previous data, insert the date and time, see MODIFY Procedure (User Manual). This step is important to guarantee the Log file consistency.

At this point the panel will start the first system initializa

tion verifying the loops integrity, warming up the smoke sensor circuitry, and the autoaddressing phase of the devices, with the consequent search for no addressa

ble devices, and devices with the same address (see procedure 1 Key Autoenrolling and Note on Autoad

dressing).

NOTE: The panel in this phase is configured to ma

nage closed loops (4 wires loop), if it is connected to a spur (2 wires loop) it will generate broken loop faults.

At the end of this first initialization phase the User Inter

face will be displayed at the main page with the capabi

lity to accept to the command and control functions.

3. Select the function Program pressing the key 1.

4. Insert the installer password (default=00000) every

digit will be masked by * symbol.

5. Choose the option by pressing the key 1.

The panel will start the enrolling procedure.

This procedure is divided into three main phases: 1 Auto-learning 2 Auto- addressing 3 Device Mapping It is possible to stop the "AUTO" option at the end of each phase; the results are different.

1 AUTO-LEARNING

In the first phase the panel looks for all the devices on the loop already addressed (with the service tool).

During this phase, the panel will ask what pattern of au

tomatic assignment of zones shall be applied to found devices (see Figure 57, 1B).

In the case of panel already configured, it indicates any differences and asks how to proceed (see Figure 55, 1A), in which case the scheme of Automatic assignment of the zones will be applied only to new devices found.

If you stop the AUTO option at the end of this first phase, see Figure 57 (A) will happen : Ø The control panel will take over all devices with an

address between 1 and 128.

Ø The programming device at their default configuration. Ø

Automatic assignment of labels.

Automatic assignment of the zones according to the scheme chosen during that phase.

The output channels of the modules, sounders and beacons will be enabled to active on fire alarm of the assigned area (except in the case the zone auto-as

signment phase will not be chosen, accordingly all the output channels of the modules, sounders and the beacons will be activated for panel alarm.

The faults "NOT PROGRAMMING DEVICE" and "wrong addresses" will be generated in the case of not addressed devices or with address greater than 128, respectively.

If the enrolling result differs from the previously sto

red loop configuration a warning message will be displayed and it is possible to reject the present en

rolling result, maintaining the previous configura

tion, or accept them.

The enrolling function will not be activated if there are loop related faults present.

QUICK START-UP PROCEDURE 57

2 AUTO-ADDRESSING

The second phase will be started, if during Auto-lear

ning phase, not addressed devices have been identified or have an address greater than 128. During this phase all the not addressed devices will be detected. The pa

nel assigns them a temporary address and configure them at default (see Figure 57, 2A).

If you stop the AUTO option at the end of this second phase, see Figure 57 (B) will happen:

The auto assignment of the address to the not ad

dressed devices

The control panel will take over all devices

The programming devices to their default configura

tion.

Automatic assignment of labels.

Automatic assignment of zones based on a loop of belonging.

3-DEVICE MAPPING

The third and last phase is activated on demand at the end of the Auto-addressing phase.

This phase allows:

Locate the positioning in the system of all the devices through their activation (in the case of output modu

les only, sounders or beacons, they will be suitably activated by the panel ( see Figure 57, 3A).

Carry out a preliminary test of the system.

Program the most important parameters of each lo

cated device.

Automatically assign labels to all devices.

Assign automatically the zones based on assigned address to each device.

Automatically configure the output channels of the modules, sounders and beacons to activate on the

alarm of the assigned zone. The third phase represents a powerful and flexible tool that allows to "draw" the plant being in front of the panel and without the use of a PC and its SW configuration.

A series of controls have been designed to prevent the generation of incorrect or not manageable conditions.

For each device to locate occurs that:

The address to be assigned does not belong to an ol

der generation device (FC400 series).

The address to be assigned is in the range from 1 to

128.

The address to be assigned belongs to a new gene

ration device and that device is present in the list of devices to locate.

Figure 58 The table shows the kind of messages, and relevant action required during the enroll process in function of the loop and panel configuration. Note (*) indicates that the message is displayed and relevant action is executed

In each case at the end of the device Mapping phase (see Figure 57, C) a check is performed to detect the presence of "doubles addresses"; in this case the invol

ved addresses will be indicated and it will not be possi

ble to abandon the procedure until the complete removal of the error condition.

The procedure for the devices mapping can also be launched outside the AUTO function,by activating the programming function called "localization. (Key 6, on the PROGRAM status) that allows to activate the procedure for devices mapping on demand, on a system already configured and without the need to proceed to their activation. It is meant to correct er

rors or change the system "on the run" and use all the features and capabilities described above.

System default

Zone assignment

To mimic a conventional panel the acquired device over the loops will be automatically assigned to a predefined zone. Two different scenarios are possible:

Exit at the end of the Auto Addressing phase without executing the Device Mapping process, in this case: Ø all the devices located on loop #1 will be assigned to

zone #1

Ø all the devices located on loop #2 will be assigned to

zone #2

Ø all the devices located on loop #3 will be assigned to

zone #3.

At the end of the Device Mapping process.

The device address to zone assignment scheme is the follow:

From address 01 to address 16 assigned to zone #1

From address 17 to address 32 assigned to zone #2

From address 33 to address 48 assigned to zone #3

From address 49 to address 64 assigned to zone #4

From address 65 to address 80 assigned to zone #5

From address 81 to address 96 assigned to zone #6

From address 97 to address 112 assigned to zone #7

From address 113 to address 128 assigned to zone #8

If an address is not manually assigned to a device ( eit

her via FC490ST or during the device mapping phase) no zone will be assigned to it. The previous zone assignment schemes are applied also to the first "trigger zone" in the case of output only devices(sounder, beacon, SNM module,…) or output channel of Input/output devices.

Note that in the case of none zone assigned, the output channel trigger event is the panel alarm.

FC430LPBSB Loop Powered Addressable Sounder/Beacon Base (EN54-23)

The FC430LPBS Series of Loop Powered Addressable Sounder/Sounder- Beacons are designed to be driven from an FC501 control panel via the addressable loop. Tone, volume and flash rates are set in FireClass Console. The sounder has four volume settings ‘High’ (90dB ±3), ‘Mid High’ (80 ±3dB), ‘Mid Low’ (70 ±3dB)or ‘Low’ (60dB ±3).

The table below, cross connect the managed devices in the current version and the new EN54-23.

It is possible to substitute old devices with corre

spondent new ones (EN54-23), keeping the same program data. When the old device is physically re

moved from the loop, the control panel will signal the "No answer" fault. When the new device with the same address is connected to the loop, the control panel will restore the "No answer" fault and automatically update its internal database with the new device type. It is not possible to substitute new devices (EN54-23) with old ones (they are not EN54-23 approved).

FC410SNM Sounder Notification Module

The FC410SNM Sounder Notification Module is desi

gned to provide an output, in response to a command signalled from a controller, to activate a number of pola

rised and suppressed sounders. The sounders are po

wered from an independent power supply and the module is capable of passing up to a maximum of 2A (eg, 24V dc 50mA company sounders or a mixture of different current rated sounders not exceeding a maxi

mum current of 2A).

The possibility of the configuration of extinction, al

though present in the FC410SNM module, is not available for FC501 control panel.

FC410TSM – door control module

The FC410TSM Door Control Module is designed to close a fire door in case of alarm or fault. The door is normally kept open by electromagnets. The door con

trol module disconnects the electromagnets from power supply in order to allow the door to close. The FC410TSM has a relay changeover output and a moni

tored input. The FC410TSM contains an integrated line isolator and self-monitoring circuits (monitoring of com

munication with a panel, loop power monitoring), which enables the fire door to be closed when communication with a panel is lost for longer than 45s (±5s) or the loop power drops below Umin=19V for more than 15s (± 5s). In addition, the FC410TSM monitors the external 24V supply.

FC410DDM – Universal fire and gas detector module

The FC410DDM provides the ability to connect and in

terface 2 zones of 20 V DC 2-wire conventional fire de

tectors, or two 4-20 mA signalling sensors, to the FireClass fire alarm controller. The FC410DDM moni

tors the status of the detectors and the wiring to the de

tectors and signals detector and wiring status back to the controller. The conventional detector circuits can be configured in one way: To monitor 1 or 2 Class B spur circuits The 4-20 mA signalling sensors may be one of two types:

Current sinking

Current sourcing.

FC410QIO Quad input output module

The module provides four monitored digital inputs and four potential free relay changeover outputs. The outputs are monitored with parallel contacts of the relays. The outputs can be connected to an Auxiliary Voltage source and its voltage can be monitored. Additionally, all the outputs can be connected to the HVR800, for switching high power galvanic isolated loads. For more details refer to the HVR800 documentation.The module has an integral loop isolator. If this activates a yellow LED illuminates. The activation remains in place until the short is removed. The digital input monitoring and isolator functions are both configurable. Maximum relay current: 2A. Maximum relay voltage: 30V.
