6 Charging The Internal Backup Battery
Whenever AC power is supplied to the FMC2000, the internal
backup battery is always being charged. The backup battery
ensures continuous operation if the AC power source is
interrupted. It is fully charged after 6 to 8 hours of operation.
The FMC2000 can run for up to 15 hours on the backup battery.
6.1 Clock Battery
An internal clock battery is mounted on the top printed circuit
board. This long-life battery keeps settings in memory from being
lost whenever the power is turned off or disconnected. This clock
battery should last approximately five years, and must be replaced
by an authorized Honeywell Analytics service technician. It is not
user-replaceable.
6.2 Data Protection While Power Is Off
When the FMC2000 is turned off, all the current real-time data
including last measured values are erased. However, the datalog
data is preserved on an SD card if it is installed. Even if the
battery is disconnected, the datalog data will not be lost.
6.3 SD Card
The FMC2000 uses an SD (Secure Digital) card for datalog
storage.
14
Page 17
FMC2000 User’s Guide
WARNING!
Whenever you replace the SD card, the FMC2000 must be either
turned off or in standby mode (see page 19). Otherwise, data may
be lost or the SD card may be corrupted. See “Preparing The
FMC2000 For Data Storage” on page 19 for details on safely
inserting and removing an SD card.
IMPORTANT!
The SD card that comes with the FMC2000 is pre-formatted and
ready for use. If you purchase an SD card from another vendor, its
capacity must be 2GB or less. In addition, it may need to be
formatted before it can be used in the FMC2000. Honeywell
Analytics cannot guarantee SD cards from other sources will work
with the FMC2000. Refer to Formatting An SD Card on page 94
for details.
Note: The SD card inside the FMC2000 should only be used for
FMC2000 data recording. Do not save other files to the SD card.
In addition, do not use one SD card for more than one FMC2000
or exchange it from one FMC2000 to another.
Transferring records from the SD card to a PC every 6 month is
recommended. This enhances data security and speeds the datatransfer process.

Page 20
FMC2000 User’s Guide
7.3 Keypad
The keypad is used to navigate the menus and parameters in the
FMC2000. Many of the keys perform dual functions, and the four
large keys arranged vertically along the right side correspond to
the “soft key” icons arranged along the bottom of the display.
7.4 Alarms
Three types of alarms can occur:
• Fault
• Low alarm
• High alarm
A fault alarm occurs when there is a low battery in a monitor
transmitting to the FMC2000, when a monitor goes “offline” or
out of range (and its signal is no longer received), or when there is
an internal problem with the FMC2000. Low and high alarms
occur when any of the network’s monitors’ thresholds are
exceeded.
Note: If a low alarm is triggered and then a high alarm, the low
alarm continues to occur until all alarms are cleared.

20 Transferring Data From The SD Card
The data stored on the SD card (part number 550-0300-000) in the
FMC2000 is in standard ASCII text format, making it easy to
import into most spreadsheet and word-processing programs. In
addition, it is in CSV (comma-separated value) form, so that it can
be easily put into existing spreadsheets (such as Microsoft Excel®)
or into columns in word-processing programs.
Some computers and external hard drives have ports that accept
SD cards directly. For computers that do not have an SD port,
inexpensive converters designed to accept an SD card and plug
into a USB input are widely available (at electronics stores,
camera stores, etc.).
Follow this procedure for removing the SD card from the
FMC2000 and connecting it to a computer for data transfer:
1. Turn off the FMC2000 or place it in Standby mode.
2. Remove the SD Card by pressing in and letting it eject.
WARNING!
Do not remove the SD card during operation. Data may be lost or
corrupted.
Place the SD Card into the adapter.
Place the SD card
into an adapter
and plug it into
the USB port of a
computer.
75
Page 78
FMC2000 User’s Guide
Once the SD card is in the adapter and connected to the computer,
it should show up as an external device or a drive.
1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
When it opens, you should see a list of drives, including your C:
drive, where most programs reside, and the external device
holding the SD card.
2. Double-click on the name of the device to open its directory.
You now see a folders containing a file created by the
FMC2000.
3. Create a folder on your computer.
4. Use your mouse to drag the file into that folder.
76
Page 79
FMC2000 User’s Guide
21 After Transferring Data From The SD
Card
Once you have transferred the files from the SD card to your
computer, you can open them in a spreadsheet program (such as
Microsoft Excel) or in a word-processing program (such as
Microsoft Word). You should open them as soon as possible to
make sure that all of the data transferred properly and was not
corrupted.
Note: Do not use the SD card for other functions (such as storing
images from a digital camera) and do not modify the record and
save it again on the SD card. Also, if you are using multiple
FMC2000 controllers, an SD card should be dedicated to only one
FMC2000.
You can place the SD card back into the FMC2000 and resume
collecting data. New files will not overwrite old ones.
If the SD card is full, or you want to retain it as a physical archive
for future reference or backup, you can replace it with any SD
card. Typically, 1GB is a good minimum size. The FMC2000 can
accept SD cards with capacities up to 2GB (providing storage for
up to 3 years with 24 monitors). When keeping an SD card for
long-term storage, it is a good idea to lock the card (move the tab
on the left side of the card to the “locked” position). This ensures
that if it is put into a computer or FMC2000, data cannot be
written to it.
77
Page 80
FMC2000 User’s Guide
Another option is to erase the SD card. To erase the data, follow
these steps:
1. Make sure the locking tab on the SD card is in the “unlocked”
position.
2. Insert it into the computer or the adapter (and plug that into the
computer).
3. Once the SD card is in the adapter and connected to the
computer, it should show up as an external device or a drive.
4. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
5. When it opens, you should see a list of drives, including your
C: drive, and the SD card (shown as a device).
6. Double-click on the name of the device to open its directory.
You now see a list containing files.
7. Select and drag all the files to the trash. Alternatively, you can
select the files, right-click with your mouse, and select Delete.

FMC2000 User’s Guide
27 Appendix B: Wiring The FMC2000 To
External A larms
The five relays are wired for NO (normally open) and NC
(normally closed) operation.
IMPORTANT!
Read this before wiring a RAEPoint to control external
customized loads.
1. Before wiring a RAEPoint to control external devices,
consult the datasheet that applies to the RAEPoint’s relays:
http://www3.panasonic.biz/ac/e/control/relay/cautions_use/
index.jsp#ANCHOR3
2. Some none-resistive loads, such as motors, horns, or
strobes, may present high inrush current, causing relay
contact degradation/welding even they are within the
relays’ rating. A simple solution is to place an NTC
thermistor (for example, model B57236S0509M0** from
EPCOS) in series between the relay and the load, to limit
inrush current.
