Checking the usage
The protective system control FCU 500 and furnace
zone control FCU 505 are designed for the monitoring and controlling of central safety functions in
multiple burner systems on an industrial furnace.
The FCU500 controls multiple zones acting as the
central protective system control. The FCU505 is
used for protective system and capacity control in
individual furnace zones.

Installation
▷
Installation position: vertically upright, horizontal
or tilted to the left or right.
▷
The FCU mounting is designed for horizontally
aligned 35 × 7.5 mm DIN rails.
▷
If the DIN rail is aligned vertically, end clamps are
required (e.g. Clipfix 35 by Phoenix Contact) to
prevent the FCU from slipping.
▷
Install in a clean environment (e.g. a control
cabinet) with an enclosure ≥ IP 54, whereby no
condensation is permitted.

CAUTION
Malfunction (fault message
new FCUs must have the same hardware configuration (see type designation on type label). The
parameter chip card is not backward compatible.
If the parameter chip card has been operated in
an FCU with more recent firmware, it cannot be
used in a device with older firmware.
▷
Alternatively, the parameters values can be read
from the old FCU and then read back into the
new FCU using the separate BCSoft software,
see pages 13 (Adjustment) and 25 (Accessories).

Wiring
▷
Do not reverse phase L1 and neutral conductor N.
▷ Do not install different phases of a three-phase
current system at the inputs.
▷ Do not connect voltage to the outputs.▷
A short-circuit on the outputs causes one of the
replaceable fuses to trip.
▷
Ensure that the inputs at terminals 1 to 4 and
44 are only supplied with 24 V DC.
▷
24 V DC power supply: + at terminal 62, - at
terminal 61.
▷
Ensure that the 24 V DC outputs at terminals
GB
41 and 42 are not connected to mains voltage.
▷ Do not set the remote reset so that it operates
automatically in cycles.
▷ Wire the safety circuit inputs via contacts (relay
contacts) only.
▷ The unit features an output for fan control (termi-
nal58). This single-pole contact can be loaded
with a max. of 3A. The max. start-up current of
the fan motor may not exceed a value of max.
6A for 1s– use an external contactor if required.
▷
The limiters in the safety interlock (linking of all the
relevant safety control and switching equipment
for the use of the application, for example, safety
temperature limiter) must isolate terminal46 from
the voltage supply. If the safety interlock is interrupted, the display shows a blinking
a warning signal and all of the FCU’s control
outputs are disconnected from the electrical
power supply.
▷
Connected control elements must be equipped
with protective circuits in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. The protective circuit
prevents high voltage peaks which can cause
malfunctioning of the FCU.
▷
Functions of terminals 51, 65, 66, 67 and 68 are

Adjustment
In certain cases, it may be necessary to change the
parameters set at the factory. Using the separate
software package BCSoft and a PC opto-adapter, it
is possible to modify parameters on the FCU, such
as the pre-purge time or the behaviour in the event
of a flame failure.
▷
The software package and the opto-adapter
are available as accessories– see page 25
(Accessories).
▷
Changed parameters are saved on the integrated
parameter chip card.
▷
The factory settings are secured with a program-
mable password.
If the password has been changed, the end cus-
▷
tomer can look up the changed password in the
plant documentation or ask the system supplier.

The display indicates
. The FCU issues the

High temperature operation
The FCU..H1 is fitted with an integrated temperature
module for high temperature operation. As soon as
the FCU has received the signal from the connected
double thermocouples that the temperature defined
in parameter24 has been reached, a signal is sent
to the high temperature inputs of the burner control
GB
units by the output at terminal 18. If voltage is applied
to the high temperature inputs, the burner flames will
no longer be monitored by the burner control units.
WARNING
Risk of explosion! High temperature operation is
only permitted if the temperature in the furnace
chamber is so high that the gas/air mixture is reliably combusted.
In countries where EN746/NFPA86 is applicable,
if the furnace wall temperature is greater than or
equal to 750°C (1400°F), the flame may be monitored by a fail-safe temperature monitoring device
that complies with the standard.
Only if the temperature is greater than or equal
to 750°C (1400°F) may voltage be applied to the
high temperature inputs of the burner control units.
Comply with the local safety regulations.
▷ In high temperature mode, the two dots in the
display are lit permanently.
The flame control system is placed out of op-
▷
eration.
▷
Once the furnace temperature falls below the
value defined in parameter24, terminal18 is
isolated from the voltage supply. The burner control units continue operating with flame control,
depending on their setting.
Manual mode
▷
For adjustment of the furnace system or for
fault-finding.
▷
In Manual mode, the FCU operates independently of the status of the inputs for start-up
signal (terminal1), controlled air flow (terminal2)
and remote reset (terminal3). The function of the
controller enable/emergency stop input (terminal46) is retained.
▷ Manual mode is terminated by switching off the
FCU or in the event of a power failure.

Parameter 67 = 0: Manual mode unlimited in

F2:T5A H
5 Check fine-wire fuse F1 or F2 for correct func-
tioning.
6 Replace the fine-wire fuse if defective.

When replacing the fuse, use only the approved
fuse type (F1:3.15A, slow-acting, H, F2: 5A,
slow-acting,H; pursuant to ICE60127-2/5).
• First reconnect the power module, then reconnect the connection terminals and restart the
