Operating Features

Warning The FC501 control panel can be pro

grammed to provide WARNINGS or Delay to Alarm sta

tus before ALARM status. This status is signalled by the WARNING display. The panel generates a warning when an input point (detec

tor) exceeds its warning threshold and there is risk of an alarm. A warning state is also generated by the input module, a useful feature to implement the system's su

pervision capability.

The WARNING STATUS is signalled by:

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

a WARNING message on LCD display.

the WARNING output points if the Delay to Alarm option is enabled.

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

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

Blinking on the Delay to Alarm LED (for the first 8 zones only).

Message ALARM+DLY on LCD display.

Ø Activation of respective outputs, if the Delay to

Alarm option is enabled.

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

During the Delay to Alarm status, the following actions can be taken (see Access to Signalling and Commands):

Access Level L1: to activate an Evacuation Alarm

by pressing and holding the Evacuate Key ,

Access Level L2: to stop the Silenceable outputs and interrupt the Delay to Alarm Time by pressing the Silence key

During Silence status (Silence LED glowing) it is possible to use the Silence key to release the Silenceable outputs, or use the Reset key to restore 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 generates an alarm when the Delay to Alarm Time expires. Alarm status will be sig

nalled by:

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

glowing of the Alarm LED

an alarm message on LCD display.

activation of the FIRE and SC1 outputs.

activation of other outputs including SC2, OC1 or OC2 if programmed.

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

Access Level 2 to stop the Silenceable outputs by pressing the Silence key.

Access Level 2 to press the Reset key and Silence

Buzzer. During the Silence status (Silence LED glowing), it is possible to use the Silence key to release the Silenceable outputs. The Reset key restores the standby status.

If the Control panel is in Night Mode (Day Mode LED OFF), the Control panel exits Silence status when the programmed Night mode Silence time expires.

Day/Night Mode The control panel can operate in DAY or NIGHT Mode. See the relevant section in the “PC PROGRAMMING” chapter. If the system is silenced during DAY Mode, the SILENCE status will be held until the system is unsilenced unless new alarms occurs. If the system is silenced during NIGHT Mode, the SILENCE status is held until the Night Mode Silence time expires. On power up (at default), the system is set to DAY Mode. During this operating mode, silenced alarms/faults are not unsilenced automatically until the Night Mode Silence time expires.

Fault This Control panel can detect and signal the Faults shown in the Table 1. Fault conditions are signalled by: Ø the control panel buzzer (1 second of sound at 660

Hz and pause for 1 second). Ø glowing on the Fault LED

and on relative

Fault LED.

Ø a Fault message on LCD display. Ø

activation of the Fault output.

activation of other outputs including SC2, OC1 or

OC2 if programmed.

The Fault output and any additional programmed fault outputs (if correctly programmed by the Installer) will automatically restore to standby 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 is reset. 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. The Silence status is signalled by glowing on the Si

lence LED.

The Silence status is held until one of the following oc

curs:

The Silence key is pressed again

The programmed Night mode Silence time expires when the Control panel is operating in Night Mode

A new Alarm condition is detected.

The panel can recognize and manage up to 8 different users and 2 different installers. At each login of any us

ers the login event is logged with the ID of the user. At each login of any installer, the login event is logged with the ID of the installer. It also logs the return to access level 1 of the panel to indicate the end of the user or in

staller session. The default passwords for the eight Users are as fol

lows: USER #1 11111 USER #2 22222 USER #3 33333 USER #4 44444 USER #5 55555 USER #6 66666 USER #7 77777 USER #8 88888 The default passwords for the two installers are as follows:

INSTALLER #1 00000 INSTALLER #2 99999.

By default, only the USER #1 works with its default password. The other users are not available and not enabled. The USER #1 may not be disabled or made unavailable. By default only the INSTALLER #1 works with its default password. The other installers are not available and not enabled. The INSTALLER #1 may not be disabled or made unavailable. Only the INSTALLER #1,via Fireclass Console or panel User Interface, can modify the availability and enabling the status of the USERs #2 to #8 and INSTALLER #2. The INSTALLER #1, via Fireclass Console or panel User Interface, may modify the password value for the USERs #1 to #8 and INSTALLER #2.

Each Installer or each User can modify its own password.

When the first password is entered via User Interface by INSTALLER #1 to a User/Installer, it will be declared as "available" and will be automatically enabled.

If the first installer loses the password, it is possible to enter a new password using the following procedure:

1. Remove the two screws (access level 4), open the fire panel after and remove the jumper J5 of the main board.

2. Access the installer menu page.

3. Access the programming page of the installer pass

word and enter the new password,

The System Wiring

High Voltage leads (110/230 V) must be bunched separately from Low Voltage leads (24 V). All leads must be bunched in such a way as to avoid contact with other wiring and components.

Connecting Addressable Devices

The control panel has 3 loops for addressable analogue devices. The maximum for all 3 loops is 128 addressable analo

gue fire detectors and analogue devices (Input modu

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 7 illustrates the 2-wire connection to Loop1. Figure 6 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 a 2-wire connection type, addressable analogue fire detectors and analogue devices (Input modules, Output modules)connect on the left.

Use only shielded cable for all connections, with one end of the shield connected to the SH terminal of the Control panel and the other left free.

INSTALLATION 21

Page 22

Connecting Repeater FC500REP

An example of how to connect two FC500REP repea

ters is displayed in Figure 8.

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 re

peater panels (see figure 8). 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 seconds when a key is pressed). But the absorption of the Repeaters connected to the control panel, will continue to run down the backup bat

teries, and decrease of the Stand-by supply time of the system. As one control panel only is in the system, all the Repe

aters must be supplied by the control panel itself, un

less 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 NON supervised outputs and 2 Bell outputs.

Output devices can be connected to the loops by me

ans 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 Programmable.

The Bell outputs can be forced to standby status by the SILENCE button. Once an alarm has been acknowled

ged, 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 vi

sual 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 (110/230V~ 60/50 Hz) through a switching power supply, located inside the case. The FC501-L Control panel provides housing for two 12V, 7Ah or 12Ah maxi

mum batteries; the FC501-H Control panel can be con

nected 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 Po

wer 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 char

ge 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 immediately, otherwise, the system will be unable to fun

ction in the event of Mains failure (blackout).

Follow these steps to connect the Mains Supply.

1. Locate the backup batteries in the housing (see Figure 2). Secure the batteries to the backplate of the panel, using the cable ties, in the appropriate opening.

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 with the ‘exter

nal power supply (Main): connect the Earth wire to the [Q] terminal 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 connector 50 to the main Board con

nector 16.

The Control panel will reset on power up.

DO NOT allow the power cable to cross over other wiring (see Figure 2). The power cable must be routed and held firmly in place by a two cable 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 figures 11 and 12:

1. Connect the probe 64 to the connector 45 on the 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 tempera

ture) that the output voltage of the Switching Power Supply will be based on.

5. Disconnect the batteries and turn on the panel.

6. Using the trimmer 46, adjust the voltage on the

voltage on the terminal board 47 to the required value.

7. Connect the batteries to the main board

Before removing the probe, disconnect the bat

tery from the main board. Removing the ther

mal probe will cause the Switching Power Supply output voltage to rise to 29V or greater. This will overcharge or damage the battery. Once the battery is disconnected and if it is re

quired to work without the thermal probe (EN54 approval will be lost),adjust the Switching Power Supply output voltage, using the trim

mer 46, to 27.6Vdc. Reconnect the batteries only if their voltage is equal to or less than

27.6Vdc.

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.

Table 8 Detector classification Temperature - Detectors will conform to one or more of the following classes: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F or G . Manufacturers may optionally give additional information concerning the type of response exhibited by the detector, by adding the suffix S or R to the above classes. Detectors, with a suffix S to their class, do not respond below the minimum static response temperature, even at high rates of rise of air temperature. Detectors, with a suffix R to their class, incorporate a rate of rise characteristic, which meets the response time requirements for high rates of rise of air temperatu

re even when the air temperature starts substantially below the typical application temperature (EN54-5:2000).

Zones programming

The Zones option from the panel tree menu will allow you to access the software-zone parameters (see Figu

re 24 ). The software zones parameters will be applied automatically to all the devices associated with the zone concerned.

GENERAL section (FIRST section)

Enabled:atick[

3] indicates that the zone is enabled.

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 enabled, the zones in alarm status will acti

vate the programmed Outputs with Walk test event, while the control panel will not generate 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)

Delay to Alarm:

Delay to Alarm: 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 the Delay to Alarm status, when any other devi

ces (other address) associated to this zone are activated, the zone will immediately generate an Alarm status.

If the "Use zone settings" option is not checked for a device, it means that you can individually decide, for that device, if it has to process Warning and/or Delay to Alarm. Once you have decided that the device processes delay to alarm, its activation will cause the delay to alarm of the panel (with panel delay to alarm time) and, because it belongs to a zone, that zone will go into the delay to alarm status. If another point be

longing to the zone goes into Delay to Alarm, the Do

uble Knock option becomes active if enabled in Zone programming page.

Delay to Alarm Duration: an input device program

med with Delay to Alarm time will generate ALARM status when the delay to alarm time elapses. (see parameters programming detector). Select the Delay to Alarm time. The delay to alarm time can be set from 0 seconds to 300 seconds in 1-second steps. Other:

Drift Compensation: see the same option in “Para

meters detectors Programming”.

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 (60 seconds/30 minutes) parameter, when set, applies to all smoke detectors assigned to the selected zone the alarm verification algorithm as described in the EN54-2.

Under the list of Zones (Zone Programming page, see figure 24 ) two windows are displayed which de

vices and what outputs are enabled on it. If you click the right mouse button on a Device in the list, a new menu will be displayed. Selecting Device Details will open a new window, where it is possible to see what points and what output is assigned to the device.

COMMUNICATORS section: PSTN: each zone can be associated with one or more

voice messages linked to an Alarm, Delay to Alarm, Start-up, Breakdown or Walk Test event. These may be sent to a maximum of 32 telephone numbers. IP: see PSTN above.

The Communicators section will be activated after that the PSTN and/or IP communicator are enabled (double clicks) in the General Options page.

Ø Set as SC1

If this option is enabled, the output behaves as the Sounder Circuit 1 (SC1).

When Set as SC1 has been enabled, the SOUNDERS FAULT/DIS LED blinks if any output "set as SC1" fails. It remains Glowing if any output "set as SC1" is disabled.

Silenceable The output, if activated, can be Silen

ceable by checking this option. In the case of output silenceable, once silenced, it will be automatically re

activated in the case of a new fire event.

Active on Disablement Click on this option to acti

vate the programmable SC outputs when any part of the system is disabled.

This feature will be available for all programmable control panel outputs and for loop modules which provide dry contacts. This is the list of the devices affected by the modification: programmable control panel outputs: OC1, OC2 and FIRE. Loop modules: FC410RIM, FC410SIO, FC410MIO, FC410QMO, FC410QRM, FC410QIO

MONOSTABLE: Allows the relevant output to auto

matically deactivate when the "MONOST.OUTPUT TIME" elapses.

As General Options: override the Pulse On local selection forcing the selection of the Pulse On in General Options settings.

Timed Warning: becomes available if a warning trigger event is selected for the output. If enabled, the sounder will activate when the programmed warning trigger events happen, for the time specified by the Timed Warning duration option, the sounder will activate. Default: disabled.

Ø Linked Delay: one of the 5 available timers (set

using the General Options page on Delays Thre- sholds) can be associated with an output activated by a zone, point or control panel alarm. The output will be activated by the programmed event, after the delay indicated by the Timer.

n OC1, OC2 Outputs

These are programmed, NON-SUPERVISED, non-silenceable, bypassable (Disabled) outputs. These are normally-open terminals (open-collector) which close to ground when the corresponding zones go into alarm status. These terminals will remain closed to ground even after the generating event has ended.

smission devices.

The Options section contains parameters for setting the conditions to activate these outputs (see same sec

tion in the SC Outputs paragraph).

General Options programming

The Panel parameters can be programmed through the General Options page (see Figure 26). In the General section :

Loop Wiring: select a 2 wire connection or a 4 wire

connection for the Panel Loop configuration. When the "2 wires" option is selected, it is possible to connect devices on both left and right sides of the loops (two spurs). This provides the capability to connect up to 6 spurs to the panel, mimicking a 6 zone conventional panel.

Notes

1. In the description of events, the devices are indi

cated as belonging to a loop. In the case of open loops, it is not possible to distinguish between the left and right side. The loop concept, however, will not be meaningful by definition, and localization will be performed via zones, as for conventional pan

els.

2. If devices are addressed by the Service Tool, there are two options to set them in 6 zones which corre

spond to the 6 spurs: a) Connect addresses from 1 to 16 to the left side of loop1, from 17-32 to the right side of the loop and so on. Perform the enroll procedure and choose the "By address" option for zone assignment (devices on the left side of loop 1 will be assigned to zone 1, those on the right side of loop 1 to zone 2 and so on. b) Assign the correct zone to each device via the PC Console or the control panel LCD.

3. If the devices are not addressed, the mapping procedure will be performed to locate each device and assign the proper zone to it.

Communicators Programming

The Communicators page is for programming the para

meters of the PSTN interface, of the FC500IP module and of Panel events, as described below.

PSTN interface The PSTN interface section is activa

ted, after the PSTN Telecom interface has been ena

bled on the General Options page (Figure 26). In the OPTIONS section:

Call attempts – Set the maximum number of at

tempts that the PSTN interface makes for each Te

lephone Number: set from 1 to 9, the default setting is 3 attempts.

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 can obtain a Dialling Tone and if it can obtain it move to the next step. If not, it will consider the phone call failed and the 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 program

med. If the Call All Telemonitoring numbers option is disabled, the PSTN Interface will interrupt the call as soon as it succeeds.

Ø If the Call All Voice Messages numbers option is ena-

bled (default setting), the PSTN Interface will call all programmed numbers for the event which has occurred, until all phone calls fully succeed according 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.

The section PLAY MESSAGE AFTER sets the condi

tion 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 the Telephone number has been dialled. The Delay can be set from 0 to 99 seconds, with 1 second steps. The default setting is

0 seconds. 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.

Events

In this section , for each event recognized by the Panel, it is possible to program the following: the telephone numbers to call, the Voice Message and the Events code to be sent. The Alarm, Delay to Alarm, Warning, Fault and Walk Test events can be sent to up to 32 telephone numbers . The telephone numbers are

set in the ADDRESS BOOK section . It is also possi

ble to set the type of phone call: Voice ,Telemonito

ring , or IP communicator .

Options for using the voice messages:

1) record them directly on PC or import present messa

ges on the PC using the functionality of the buttons in the Messages section.

2) import them on PC from an external source, for example, a USB stick and upload them, using the fun

ctionality of the buttons in the Messages section.

To load the voice messages in the Panel, it is ne

cessary to use the USB connector on the mother

board and to start the Programming procedure of the Panel by User Interface (see Programming from the Panel, 7 KEY -USB-.)

ad the data of a customer.

By clicking on "Overrride", it is possible to adjust the panel ID for export/import. If the option "Any Panel [XXXX]" is implemented, it is possible to utili

ze this configuration in any Panel (e.g. to load same voice messages in several panels)

- loading the label of the first 8 zones, which should

be printed and inserted in the transparent window in the User Interface (see Description of the parts).

- printing a pdf file which contains descriptions of the first 8 zones. The size of the front label is predetermined and can not be resized (see Figure 27).

In the Printer driver, set the “Page resizing” option to “None"

- importing the type of wiring (from a database) for use in various connections Loop. These type of wires will be used in the Loop wire calculation (see same paragraph).

The database can be moved from one system to another. The Console searchs for the wire database while starting. If the user cannot access a moved database, simply close the software and restart.

Battery Calculation

The Battery calculation window allows you to see (Figu

re 28):

the FC501 Loads,

the Loop1,Loop 2, Loop3 devices loads, in the condition of Normal Load and Alarm Loads (percentage of devices in alarm status), when the Ma

ins fails. Below this window, in the option “Others Load”, if needed, the Loads on Auxliary terminals will be inser

ted. Automatically the Total Load, the Battery needed and the Battery Recharge Time will be shown. Set the Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes values and the calculation will be done. Battery calculation Parameters:

Stand-by hours (From 1 to 144 h)

Alarm minutes (From 1 to 240 m)

Battery Type: this is the battery (Ah) arising from calcu

lation. Battery calculation constraints:

Lock stand-by hours

Lock battery type. Lock stand-by hours: “Battery Type” value (Ah) will be calculated, fixed Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes; Lock battery type: “Stand-by hours” value will be cal

culated, fixed Battery Type (Ah), Alarm minutes.

The software calculation is a rough calculation and cannot substitute the Installer and/or Qualified person calculation.

Exports the battery calculation into a .CSV file that

can be opened by Excel or a similar application.

User mode

If the option "Installer Mode" is enabled, it is now possi

ble to program/ change the installation,using the Instal

ler password. If the option "User Mode" is enabled, this feature allows the user to perform the real time monitoring of the panel zones and the loop devices associated with them. The loop device or zone is displayed in a way that im

mediately informs the user about its state with a coloured background, an overlapped icon, etc. Selecting the loop device, the user can also receive real time information about the last measured value (that can be expressed in °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 communication (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 starts a session of continuous communication 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 allows the user to remotely press the functional buttons that are present on the panel user in

terface:Silence

, Reset, Investigation, Lamp test, Silen

ce Buzzer, Evacuate. Sending a remote command to the panel through this interface will require the SW User to insert the panel’s User or Installer password for secu

rity reasons. A control keypad will 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.

Graphic Maps

The User mode provides the use of Graphics Maps. The activation procedure follows.

1. 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).

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

sence of events.

2. Do the same for other levels of maps and insert in each node of the tree structure its plan (e.g. the pic

ture of the building, the floor where the system is in

stalled 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 de

vices on the loop will be shown. At this point it is suf

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

5. The final map consists of a series of separate pages linked together and easily accessible or by accessing to the tree diagram.

The Graphic Map, in Real time, is shown in a dedicated window. It is possible to analyze more than one device at a time, but each new image requires additional system resources. 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.).

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 possible 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 function

ing and use of Graphic maps, follow the Help, ac

cessible both by main menu and by the Graphic maps.

Disable

The disable page (click the right button on the selected device) is available only when the FC501 Console com

municates in Real Time. The items that can be disabled/enabled are: devices, zones. Before sending a Disable/Enable command, the FC501 Console provides the prompt to enter the User password.

PROGRAMMING FROM THE PANEL

The following section provides an overall view of how to use the User interface Programming (Main panel) of the control panel. For details regarding the parameters of each phase, refer to the respective paragraph 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 which include:

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

meters ONLY:

-ANALYZE button views the status of the: LOOP, DEVICE, SW ZONES, OUTPUT, NETWORK, TELECOM, OPTIONS, LOG, FW Vers., and PANEL;

-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 WALK TEST;

-DISABLE button for: DIS LISTS, DEVICE, SW ZONES, OUTPUT, NETWORK, COMMUNIC., FIRE RELAY, SOUNDERS; 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.

Assistant text composition

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

ted. The up and down arrow will, respectively, load the next or the previous word in the list. This "assisted entry procedure" is entered by keeping the UP key pressed for more than 3 seconds, while pressing the DOWN key for more than 3 seconds will deactivate the "assisted entry procedure" and the normal single character entry is reactivated (see Figure 32). When the "assisted entry procedure" is active, the string "Vocabulary ON" blinks on the upper right area of the LCD display. In the "Voca

bulary area" the word currently selected (row aligned with the "Entry area") is displayed. The word that prece

des in the vocabulary is displayed in the upper row whi

le the next word is displayed in the lower row. In the "Entry area" the words used to compose the label are displayed. To enter a word it is necessary to press the numeric key (more than one time if necessary) related to the first letter of the word that needs to be entered. If this word is not correct, it is possible to scroll through the vocabulary using the UP and DOWN keys until a su

itable word is found. During the vocabulary scan, the word in the middle row is entered in the "Entry area"at the cursor position. Using the LEFT and RIGHT keys it is possible to move the cursor to the beginning of each word.

1 KEY- Auto Enrolling (Autolearning)

The Auto option from the PROGRAMMING menu will allow you to enrol the loop devices and the RS485 net

work devices automatically (repeater FC500REP only) The Auto option consists of three main phases: 1-Auto enrolling, 2- Auto addressing, 3- Devices mapping.

Auto enrolling (Autolearning) can be done during the installation phase and after changes of the loop and network configurations.

Use the 1 Key to select Auto option, the display will show Figure 40

Cursor Keys

No function is related to UP, Down,

Right, Left Key;

ESC Key

Use ESC key to cancel the operation and to

step back to MAIN page.

ENTER key

No function is related to ENTER key.

If an open circuit is detected when enrolling is launched, the installer is prompted to launch the procedure to lo

cate the loop break. The number of devices visible on the left and right side of the loop is calculated and di

splayed on the LCD.

If a double address fault is detected when enrolling is launched, the installer is prompted to switch on the LEDs of the involved devices.

If the faults described above are generated in not steady situations (devices which start/stop working randomly, faulty contacts between wires, etc.) the result of the new operations could be misleading (a wrong number of devices on left or right side of the loop could be signalled, the LED of a device with a double address could remain off etc).

A new feature, "Sounders Triggered by", is available. It allows the user to activate the sounders on the control panel alarm or on the zone alarm by default. The enroll procedure on the control panel LCD has a new page ad

ded to it. In this page, the installer is prompted to choo

se whether to activate the enrolled sounders on the control panel alarm or the zone alarm.

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 40d): 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 on the loop are assigned to zone #0 (system zone).

The previous zone assignment schemes are also

applied to the first "trigger zone" in the case of out

put only devices (sounder, beacon, SNM module) or output channel of Input/output devices. After the Zones assignment is selected

For devices already addressed (1-128) the zone assignment procedure is the same as explained above (see Figure 40d). For not addressed devi

ces, if you choose ESC at the end of Auto addres

sing, the panel assigns the zone based on the loop, but if you choose ENTER the panel assigns the zone based on its address.

In this phase, the Alphanumeric Keypad only is active:

“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.

ENTER Key

The ENTER key accept the device selec

tion and activate the loop device programming

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

Auto-addressing creates a sequence of operation that allows to the installer to make all the devices accessible by the panel without executing any previous configura

tion action on the devices, during their installation phase. The installer no longer needs to use the FC490ST, the programming Tool of the Loop devices, and conse

quently no longer needs the procedure for the manual assignment of the devices addresses. Furthermore the auto-addressing procedure must allow the installer to know or set the geographical position of the devices in the site (device mapping phase).

In the Program Menu of the loop devices, a new item appears. This allows the installer to switch on(steady)/off the device LED. This allows the in

staller to activate the device LED from the control panle User Interface in order to easily identify the device on a given field.

The Auto addressing procedure is part of the loop devices enroll process in the FC501 panel. The loop devices 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. When all the devices are initialized in Loop, the panel will prompt the user to choose the type of automatic zo

nes assignment: 1 = according to the Loop 2 = based on the addresses of the devices 3 = do not assign When this choice is made, the user can reach the re

sults phase by:

pressing the ENTER key to activate the AUTOADDRESSING phase.

or pressing ESC to the FAULT page (not addressa

ble devices). By default, any addressable device has the address 255. The fire panel examines the serial number of each devi

ce 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)

If for requirements of the system, the installer wants to set the system (for example set the address 1 to detec

tor 1, address 2 to detector 2, and so on), follow this pro

cedure:

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 and the address will beco

me fixed.

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

stion.

"Unique”, indicates that it is the only device of its type on the loop. It is not necessary to activate it and the instal

ler 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 does not take place until all loop wiring troubles have been removed.

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

The device mapping process does not take place until all double address faults have been removed

ENTER Key

The ENTER key accepts the selection

and activates the corresponding programming page.

Loop devices programming page

After selecting the Loop and the device, (see the Figure

42) the option "LED(skp=skip test)" is displayed.This option allows for the location of the selected device in the site, lighting its LED when the option "ON" is selec

ted (note that the ENTER key has to be pressed to make the selection valid). If the device has no LED, its sounder or beacon will be activated. The option "OFF" removes the device signalling. The option "SKP" exits the feature and moves to the normal device program

ming sequence where it is possible to program various parameters relevant to the type of device. See Table 7.

Remote LED After other parameters, it is possible to enable the activation of programmable Remote LED of the detectors. The detectors have an output used to dri

ve the remote LED. This output is activated only for the detector alarm to which it belongs. Now, it is possible to program it to activate for other events, exactly as it hap

pens for the other panel outputs, as well as for the de

tector alarm to which it belongs.

With this option (Remote LED), it will be possible to also program on FireClass Console, in the pro

gramming page of the detectors.

Separated programming of the Sounder and Beacon

When one of the following devices is selected:

FC410LPAV (all versions) FC430LPASB FC430SAB (with FC430SB),

In addition to those certified EN54-23:

FC410LPS-R/W FC410LPBS FC430LPBSB,

In the programming menu, it will be possible to choose which channel (Sounder or Beacon) to be program

med. The User interface will ask the installer, before the alarm conditions: "SOUNDER = BEACON" "yes no" If the installer chooses "yes", the alarm conditions are selected (and applied to both channels), otherwise the channel selection will be displayed (therefore the alarm conditions are valid for the selected channel).

2 Wire Loops

Each loop may be individually set to work in 2 wires mode (multiple selection). When the 2 wires option is selected, it is possible to connect devices on both the left and right sides of the the loops (2 spurs). This allows for the connection of up to 6 spurs to the panel, mimi

cing a 6 zones conventional panel.

Notes:

1. In all descriptions of the events, the devices are in

dicated as belonging to a loop. In the case of open loops, it is not possible to distinguish between the left and right side. Loop concept, therefore, will not be meaningful by definition, and localization will be performed via zones as in the case of conventional panels.

2. If devices are addressed by the Service Tool, there are two options to set them in 6 zones which corre

spond to the 6 spurs: a) Connect addresses from 1-16 to the left side of loop 1, from 17-32 to the right side of loop 1, and so on. Then perform the enroll procedure and choose "By address" option for zone assignment (devices on the left side of loop 1 will be assigned to zone 1, those on the right side of loop 1 to zone 2, and so on. b) Assign the correct zone to each device, via PC console or control panel LCD.

3. If devices are not addressed, a mapping procedure is performed to locate each device and assign the proper zone to it.

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. Turning on the panel will start a FW procedure to

verify/program information for the User Interface and for the panel, which ensures that functions are programmed and are consistent. This information includes:

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

2. When the previous data has been verified/programmed, insert the date and time. This step is important as it guarantees the Log file consistency.

At this point the panel will start the first system initializa

tion verifying the loops integrity.

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 55,1B) and the panel will ask the sounder's triggering scheme (see Figure 55, 1A).

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 assig

nment of the zones will be applied only to new devices found.

If you stop the AUTO option at the end of this first phase, Figure 55, 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. Ø Automatic assignment of the zones according to the

scheme chosen during that phase.

Ø The output channels of the modules are enabled to

activate on fire alarm of the assigned zone. The so

unders, sounders and beacons, sounder bases, AV (Audio Visual) bases and the FC430SNM modules will activate according to the trigger scheme chosen in in this phase. If it was chosen to assign all devices to system (no zone auto assignment), all of the out

put modules, sounders and beacons will be triggered by the Panel alarm condition.

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. See Fig 55 1A.

QUICK START-UP PROCEDURE 73

Page 74

2. AUTO-ADDRESSING

The second phase starts, if during Auto-learning 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 panel assigns them a temporary address and configure them at defa

ult (see Figure 55, 2A). If you stop the AUTO option at the end of this second phase, Figure 55, 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.

The output channels of the modules, sounders and beacons will be set to active on the alarm of the assi

gned zone.

3. DEVICE MAPPING

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

In this phase, it is possible to:

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 55, 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.

To locate each device, the address to be assigned:

does not belong to an older generation device (FC400 series).

is in the range from 1 to 128.

belongs to a new generation device and that device

is present in the list of devices to locate.

is not among those assigned automatically. In each case at the end of the device Mapping phase (see Figure 55,C) a check is performed to detect the presence of "doubles addresses". In this case the invol

ved addresses are indicated and it is not possible to end the procedure until the error condition is removed.

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 prede

fined zone. Two different scenarios are possible:

Exit at the end of the Auto Addressing phase without executing the Device Mapping process, in this case:

all the devices located on loop #1 will be assigned 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.

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

Ø From address 65 to address 80 assigned to

zone #5

Ø From address 81 to address 96 assigned to

zone #6

Ø From address 97 to address 112 assigned to

zone #7

Ø From address 113 to address 128 assigned to

zone #8 If an address is not manually assigned to a device ( either 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 non zone assigned, the out

put channel trigger event is the panel alarm.

FC460PC Addressable Optical Smoke & Heat Detector & CO

Detector of high performance, of smoke, temperature and CO. The use of the three elements of the sensor, in synergy, allows to determine with accuracy the presence of all types of fires and at the same time having an excep

tional immunity to false alarms. The functionalities of the FC460PC detector are: self-monitoring, self-testing, status indicator, remote LED and threshold compensation. The detector FC460PC is compatible with the existing bases.

FC410LI - Line Isolator Module

The FC410LI Line Isolator Module is designed to be used on the FC addressable controller loop circuits. It monitors the line condition and when detecting a short circuit will isolate the affected section while allowing the rest of the addressing circuit to function normally. The purpose of the FC410LI Line Isolator Module is to en

sure that, on a looped addressable system, no short circu

it fault can disable more detection devices then would be lost on a conventional non-addressable fire circuit.

FC410MIM - Mini Input Module

Ø The FC410MIM Mini Input module is designed to

monitor fire contacts, such as extinguishing system control, ventilation control, fire door control etc.The module provides one identifiable detection spur which is capable of monitoring multiple normally open contacts or a single normally closed contact. The FC410MIM may be mounted in any electrical enclosure with sufficient depth to accommodate FC410MIM and the contacts monitored by the IN+ and IN- terminals, ie, no field wiring. The remote LED (if required, not supplied) must be located within the same electrical enclosure.

FC410MIO - Small Addressable Multi I/0 Module

The FC410MIO Multi I/O Module has three class B inputs and two outputs from latching relays.

flected via a prism mounted directly opposite and with a clear line of sight. The reflected infrared light is detected by the Receiver and analysed. The Detector has a maximum lateral detection defined by the local National Standard. As a guide a common lateral distance of 7.5m will be used in this guide. Use the latest beam detector standards EN54 part 12, VdS2095 or BS5839 part 1 for further guidance. The optimal beam distance from the ceiling will be bet

ween 500mm and 600mm, again the Local National Standard will give guidance. Range: Fireray 100 = 50-100 meter

Fireray 50 = 5-50 meter

Coverage area: Fireray100 = up to 1500 sqm.

Fireray 50 = up to 750 sqm.

FIRERAY 3000

The FIRERAY 3000 Optical Beam Smoke Detector is ideal for applications where the line of sight for the IR (infra-red) detection path is narrow and where the building structure uses reflective surfaces.The unit emits a narrow beam of infra-red (IR) light in order to monitor for smoke and is controlled using a compact low level controller. It allows for the installation of 2 detectors for each system controller.There is a 2-wire interface between controller and receiver. For each detector there are separate fire and fault relays.The FIRERAY 3000 has been designed so that it can be installed by one operator with its laser assisted alignment methods combined with easy to use alignment LED's offering visual feedback. Integrated laser alignment aid can be activa

ted at the controller or at the receiver head.

Range:5-120 metres, configurable per set of Detec

tors

FIRERAY 5000

The FireRay 5000 motorised, auto-aligning infrared op

tical beam smoke detector can be installed with up to 4 detector heads per system. Once the detector heads are connected, using the Easifit First Fix system, an in

tegral LASER, which is aligned along the optical path of the beam, can be activated. This allows the reflective prism to be sighted quickly. Once the LASER has been used to coarsely align the beam, the Auto-Optimise beam aligment system takes over and automatically steers the beam into the optimum position. The System Controller retains one set of Fire and Fault relays that is common to all detectors installed.

Range: Each detector is configurable from 8m to 100m.
