¹ Supervision: On when supervision signal is detected; off when the signal disappears and “reset” is pressed.
¹ System trouble: On when system hardware/software is faulty.
¹ Trouble: On when trouble happen; off when trouble is resolved.
¹ Activation: On when output device (such as output module or main board output port) is activated; Off when
activation signal disappears and “reset” is pressed.
¹ Confirmation: On when controller receives confirmation signal; off when the signal disappears.
¹ NAC trouble: On when a trouble happens on NAC line; off when trouble disappears.
¹ Main Power: On when main power supply is working; off when the AC supply is disconnected.
¹ Battery: On when backup batteries are working; off when the Main power are working and the backup batteries
are not working.
¹ Disable: On when some equipment is disable; off when no equipment is disable; Flashing when system is at
startup status.
¹ Test: On when some device is at test/walk-test mode; off when no device is being tested.
¹ NAC disable: On when NAC line is disable; off when it’s enable.
¹ Auto: Only level 2&3 users can access. At auto mode all interlocking equipment can be activated automatically
by controller according to pre-defined interlocking expression. Manual operations have high priority at
auto mode.
¹ Manual: Level 2&3 user can access. At manual mode all interlocking equipment only can be activated manually.
¹ Acknowledge/Silence: Only level 2&3 users can access. Press “Acknowledge/Silence” to turn off the buzzer
(except when battery is under voltage).
- Flashing when there are events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is not pressed. OR when there are
events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is pressed while new event occurs.
- Off when there are events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is pressed. OR when there are no events.
Sound elimination in a network,
- Press “Acknowledge/Silence” on master controller: internal sounder will turn off for both master and
slaves, also indicator will turn off.
- Press “Acknowledge/Silence” on slave controller: internal sounder will turn off slave itself, also
indicator will turn off, but master remains unaffected.
¹ NAC activation: Only level 2&3 users can access. When fire is detected, NAC is activated and the LED is on.
Press “NAC activation” to deactivate NAC devices and the LED is off. Press it again, NAC device is
activated again and the LED is on. So on and so forth.
- “NAC activation” button is used to activate/deactivate NAC devices.
- NAC device can be disabling through the menu.
- NAC device cannot be activated neither the alarm nor pressing key when NAC device is disable.
- When NAC device is activated, it can be disable. But when it is enable again, its status will be normal
(no matter there is fire alarm or not).
- The LED is used to show NAC device status. The LED is on when NAC device is activated and off
when NAC device is deactivated.
¹ Reset: Only level 2&3 users can access. It is used to reset system. Any event can be reset by pressing this key
no matter it’s acknowledged or not. But to reset fire alarm event is different from to reset non-fire alarm
events in a network.
- Non-fire alarm events:
If master is reset, events in both master and salves are reset.
If a slave is reset, events in the slave are reset; the same events in master are also reset.
- Fire alarm event:
If master is reset, events in both master and salves are reset.
If a slave is reset, events in the slave are reset while the same events in master will not reset

The interlocking panel has 8 output channels. Each channel has indicators to indicate trouble, activation and
confirmation status. Each channel can be controlled by Activation/Deactivation button manually. Only level 2&3 user
can access. Press the button to activate it and press it again to deactivate it, so on and so forth.
¹ Trouble: On when there's trouble; off when trouble is solved.
¹ Activation: On when output channel is activated; flashing when there's no confirmation; Off when the output

APPENDIX 4 RULES FOR LOGIC EXPRESSION
1. Logic expression:
01.0001.07+01.0002.07+01.0003.07=01.0004.10
1 2
Input Output
① Group No.: xx.xxxx First two number express controller number. Last four number express group code.
② Status code：xx express the status in the logic
- 01：Alarm
- 02：Supervision
- 03：Active
- 04：Confirmation
- 05：Output with confirmation
- 06：Output without confirmation
- 07：Trouble
- 08：Disable
- 09：Test
- 10：Active (only suitable for control group to active the output in this group)
- 11：Stop (only suitable for control group to stop the output in this group)
2. Format specification:
● “+”: “or” relation;
Example: 01.0001+01.0002+01.0003=01.0004; indicates that alarm of any group of 01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003
can activate group 01.0004.
● “*”: “and” relation;
Example: 01.0001*01.0002*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that 01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003 simultaneously alarm
can activate group 01.0004.
● “（）”: Priority;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and 01.0003
simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004.
● “！”： “Not” relation；
Example: 01.0001*!01.0002=01.0004；indicates that 01.0001alarm, and 01.0002 no alarm，active 01.0004
group。
● “+~+”, “*~*” : Abbreviations, but cannot be used in “[ ]N”.
Example: 01.0001+~+01.0015=01.0016; indicates that in No. 01 controller, any group of No. 1 to No. 15 alarm
can activate No. 16 group.
01.0001*~*01.0006=01.0007; indicates that in No. 01 controller, No. 1 to No. 6 groups simultaneously alarm can
activate No. 7 group.
●“[ ]N”: Total N groups simultaneously alarm; 1≤N≤8 (and N ≤ total groups);
Example: [01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 3 groups alarm can activate
group 01.0004.
[01.0001~01.0003, 01.0005]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 4 groups (1 to 3 and 5) alarm can activate
group 01.0004.
● “;”: End of logic expression;
Page: 65/70
Page 67
Operating Manual of FC18 Controller
● “@N”: Union alarm in a group, 2≤N≤ total device amount;
Example: 01.0001@2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 devices in group 01.0001 alarm can activate group 01.0004.
Remark: when adding /deleting device in a group, the logic expression needs to be verified.
●When a logic expression need to activate more groups (output) simultaneously, use “,” to separate;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004, 01.0005; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and
01.0003 simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004 and 01.0005.
3. Interlocking across controllers
Just directly input addresses of groups in logic expression;
Example: 01.0001+02.0001=01.0002, 02.0002;

APPENDIX 5 INPUT METHOD
Letter/Number input:
1. Press down letter/number key, then input content will switch between
number and letter.
2. When switched to needed content, relieve the key to complete the input of
needed letter/number.
Special character input:
1. Press down number key (1), then input content will switch among '1', '.', '+',
'*', '=', ';', '~', '(', ')', '[', ']', '{', '}', '!', ':', ‘space’, '-'.
2. When switched to needed content, relieve the key to complete the input of
character.

APPENDIX 6 “STICKER METHOD”EASY FOR COMMISSIONING
In FC18 system, each field device has a unique ID number. Engineer can tear it down when installing, and fix to the equipment
position in engineering drawings, so that after finishing installation of all devices, engineer file configuration can be made.
Detailed procedures are as follows:
1. Open the package.
2. Tear down the machine-readable ID number.
3. Fix it to the corresponding position in engineering drawings.
4. After all installation complete, turn on the system, and controller will find all new devices.
5. Now the system is “auto configured” able to generate alarms and fault with default settings.
6. Upload the data to PC, and configure through debug tool software in PC:
- Choose the device.
- Enter text information or choose corresponding technical parameters (such as sensitivity).
7. After configuration, download configuration file to controller and complete the configuration job.
