1.1. Product Description

The Falcon Facilities Monitoring System (FMS) is a comprehensive system which provides
additional equipment protection by monitoring critical operating parameters in enterprises,
remote network facilities, communication rooms, remote and unmanned facilities, and critical
support systems. The FMS is a stand alone system. It operates via embedded firmware that
handles all data collection, alarm reporting, and multiple concurrent communication mediums.

C HAPTER

CHAPTER 0SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The FMS typically monitors analog, dry contact, Modbus, and SNMP integer outputs from a
wide variety of devices.

During operation, the FMS performs internal diagnostics and monitors its status. It uses LED
indicators to report its condition.

The FMS embedded firmware enables system configuration, I/O setup, status inquiries, alarm
reports, data logs, and troubleshooting. The FMS is menu driven and operates with any Web
browser, ASCII terminal, or terminal emulation application (e.g., HyperTerminal).

1.2. 1U and 2U FMS Devices

A base FMS unit ships in a 1U rack-mount enclosure. Up to four expansion cards can be added
to the base FMS to increase the functionality of the device. The 1U enclosure has room for one
expansion card, in addition to the base FMS unit. A 2U FMS has room for three expansion
cards, in addition to the base FMS functionality. If you add more than one expansion card to a
base FMS, your device will be upgraded to a 2U rack mount enclosure.

Refer to Appendix A, “FMS Expansion Cards” on page 179 to learn more about the different
FMS expansion cards and their capabilities.

address. Any accessories for the FMS should also be connected at this time (e.g., keypad
connection, Modbus connections, Expansion Cards, etc.)

2.1. Installation

C HAPTER

CHAPTER 0GETTING STARTED

The Falcon FMS comes in a 19 inch (.48m) rack mount enclosure. Install the FMS in the rack.
Use the proper anchoring method to mount the unit securely. Supply either 24VDC (standard)
or 48VDC (optional) to the unit.

Units have different model numbers. Before applying power to the unit, verify the
model number and power rating located on the back of the unit. The voltage
indicator is the last number on the unit model number. The FMS will either be a
24VDC or a 48VDC.

2.2. Falcon FMS Wiring

RLE Technologies recommends an 18AWG stranded copper wire for connection from each
monitored point to a terminal block (TB) connection on the FMS. RLE recommends no more
than 500 feet (152.4m) of wire at this specification. If longer runs are needed, please contact
RLE Technologies for application guidance. Shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended for
analog signal transmitters being wired outside of conduit runs and dropped ceiling
applications.

2.2.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections

Connect an 18AWG ground wire from the ground terminal to a suitable earth ground.

If you are installing a 24VDC model FMS, plug the wall adapter into P1 and a UPS outlet as
shown below. The wall adapter has a 5 foot (1.524m) power cord. RLE Technologies

rletech.com FMS User Guide 23

2 Getting Started

recommends powering the FMS from a UPS supply to allow the FMS to send alarm

notification during a power outage.

Figure 2.1

24VDC Power Supply Connection

If you are installing a 48VDC FMS, the FMS must be connected to either:

a An external 48VDC supply that can be unplugged or switched off.

b The 48VDC supply bus via a switch or a circuit breaker. The switch or circuit breaker

must be suitable located and easily reached. It must be clearly marked as the
disconnecting device for the FMS.

For a 48VDC model FMS, connect a 48VDC supply through a circuit breaker to TB1 as

shown below. In telecommunications applications, the 48VDC supply is typically connected

to the 48VDC battery system through a DC distribution panel.

Figure 2.2

24 FMS User Guide 800.518.1519

48VDC Power Supply Connection

2.2.2 Universal Input Connections

The eight non-isolated universal inputs are connected to TB2 and TB3. Universal input
channels can be individually configured through the FMS to monitor a 4-20mA signal, a
Normally Open (NO) dry contact, or a Normally Closed (NC) dry contact; see Figure 2.3 for
examples of typical sensor wiring. See Appendix D, “FMS Accessories Wiring” on page 191,
for further details on wiring other RLE accessory sensors, or refer to our Falcon Integration
Guide, found online at http://rletech.com/resource/falcon-integration-guide/.

Some temperature and humidity sensors have internal jumper settings that may be used to
select sensor range and output voltage or current. Jumper settings should be set before power
is applied to the equipment. The sensor range (50–95°F, 22–122°F, etc.) should be
documented at this time. The sensor range is required to determine the gain and offset
settings when configuring the input through software.

2 Getting Started

Note The Falcon has 24VDC available (TB2-1, TB2-2 +24VDC, TB3-9, TB3-10 24VDC comm.) to

power external sensors. The 24VDC external supply is internally fused at 300mA.

Figure 2.3

Universal Input Wiring Examples

Some equipment may have several dry contact outputs with a Common Ground. Connect this
equipment as shown in Figure 2.4.

2 Getting Started

Figure 2.4

Dry Contact Inputs with Common Ground

26 FMS User Guide 800.518.1519

2.2.3 Relay 1 and 2 Connections

Relay outputs may be used to unlatch doors, signal annunciators, signal IP cameras, and to
turn on auxiliary equipment such as exhaust fans. Relay outputs are form c (spdt). Refer to
specifications in Appendix D, “FMS Accessories Wiring” on page 191, for relay contact
ratings. Relays may be configured, through the FMS for Normally Open (NO—unsupervised
or normally de-energized), or Normally Closed (NC—supervised or normally energized)
operation; see Figure 2.5 for examples.

2 Getting Started

Figure 2.5

Relay Output Wiring Examples

2 Getting Started

2.2.4 Keypad Connection

The FMS can be configured with a 3 x 4 keypad interface. Entering a user code, configured

through software, activates a relay output which unlatches a door and allows an individual to

enter the secure area. Entering the correct user code can also trigger a relay output to signal an

IP camera to snap a picture and email it to a predefined recipient. Connect the keypad as

shown in Figure 2.6. For more information on configuring the keypad function, see 4.15.,

“Keypad/DTMF Access Users” on page 77.

Figure 2.6

Keypad Wiring

2.2.5 EIA-232 COM2 Connection

The EIA-232 port can be connected to a PC for IP configuration, firmware downloads, and

troubleshooting. It is typically a temporary connection. Connect the straight through, 9-pin,

cable as shown in Figure 2.7.

Figure 2.7

EIA-232 COM2 Connection

28 FMS User Guide 800.518.1519

2.2.6 RJ11 Phone Line Connection

The FMS may contain an optional internal modem for dial in and dial out capabilities. The
modem can be used for:

♦ Email notification through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

♦ Remote connection to accomplish a variety of tasks, including: viewing alarms, changing IP

Configurations, and acknowledging alarms.

♦ Remote alarm acknowledgment and access through DTMF. This allows a user to dial the

FMS from a touch tone telephone-standard phone or cell phone-and enter an
acknowledgment code or access code.

♦ Pager notification to an alpha-numeric pager or cell phone (TAP changer).

2.2.7 RJ45 Ethernet Connection

The FMS has an internal 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port used to configure and monitor the
FMS. The Ethernet port supports Web browser access, email (SMTP), BACnet slave, Modbus
slave, SNMP, BACnet master and Modus master. Figure 2.6 and Figure 2.7 show the physical
connections. Figure 2.8 shows a direct connection between the FMS and a PC using the
crossover cable supplied with the FMS. Figure 2.9 shows a typical FMS connection on a
subnet using a hub or switch and straight through CAT5 cables.
