2.2 Safety-relevant working instructions
Country-specific standards
The products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant international and European safety standards. Should additional country-specific, local
safety standards or regulations concerning project planning, assembly, installation,
operation and disposal of the product apply in the place of operation, then these
standards or regulations must also be taken into account in addition to the safety
regulations mentioned in the product documentation.
Safety regulations
DANGER
Work on electrical
installations
Any work on electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified electricians or instructed persons working under the guidance and supervision of a
qualified electrician, in accordance with the electro technical regulations.
Electrical installations
Control units must be disconnected from the power supply during commissioning
or maintenance work.
Terminals with an external voltage supply must be provided with a sign ”DAN-
GER - External voltage”.
Mains leads to the control unit must be installed separately and provided with a
clearly marked fuse.
Earthing must be carried out in compliance with local safety regulations.
When work is carried out in explosion-hazardous areas, the appropriate safety
precautions must be taken.
Assembly, installation, commissioning and inspection work
If any tools or accessories such as ladders are required, safe and suitable de-
vices must be used.
Prevention of spurious tripping of the remote transmission must be assured.
Always inform the fire brigade before testing the remote transmission.
The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause dam-
age to the system or parts thereof.
Fire control installations must only be activated after the test has been com-
pleted and the system has been handed over to the customer.
Third party systems or devices must only be activated in the presence of the re-
sponsible person.
When work on management stations and system terminals are performed, the
safety regulations of the connected sub-systems must be observed. This especially applies when switching-off system components.
In the case of extinguishing systems, always use the ”General installation in-
structions” as a guideline. This guideline is available on request.

5 Logical and physical structure
r
r
g
In the FC700A fire detection system, the logical structure is completely separated
from the physical structure. This enables the greatest possible flexibility. Display
and control terminal are based on the geographical and organizational aspects and
are independent of the actual hardware installation of the detector network.
Geographical features (-> building structure)
Logical and physical structure
Main building (Area)
Logical structure
The logical structure is a configuration of the
geographical features of a system. It can be
modified easily to the building structure, room
utilization etc.
Within the same control unit the logical structure is independent of the wiring of the detector network.
Linking
The lowest levels of both structures are linked
to each other. It is determined which physical
devices (e.g. detectors) are in which logical or
geographical location.
Physical structure
The physical structure is a configuration of the
hardware. It results from the hardware installation. The number of used levels is depending on the type of hardware.

6.2 Modifying the impedance of the various C-Bus cables
C-Bus standard cables have a characteristic impedance of 110Ω. The driver and
end-of-line resistors are soldered to solder lugs and can be adapted accordingly
with other characteristic impedances (see diagram chapter 6.2.1).
1. Explanation
A cable must be terminated with resistors. The resistance value must correspond
to the impedance of the cable. Each C-Bus user has four end-of-line resistors
(Ri). In addition two driver resistors (Rd) are integrated on the p.c.b. In order that
the resistors can be exchanged easily they are all soldered to solder lugs.
C-Bus p.c.b. Ri Rd
B3Q700 R31 ... R34 R49, R50
E3H020 R173, R174, R177, R178 R180, R183
The driver resistors specify the current on the C-Bus. In order that the signal on the
C-Bus always has the same amplitude (1.35Vpp), the following correlation is valid:
Rd = Ri x 3,65 (45Ω < Ri < 200Ω)

Rd [Ohm]
2. Procedure
Request characteristic impedance of the cable from manufacturer (45Ω ... 200Ω)
Select the value of the Ri the same as the value of the cable characteristic im-
pedance and insert the four end-of-line resistors on the p.c.b.
Insert two driver resistors Rd = Ri x 3.65 on the p.c.b.
Each C-Bus user must be adapted
If only the inductance and the capacitance are known for a cable, the impedance
can be calculated with the aid of the following formula:
Zc: Cable impedance [Ω]
Lc: Cable inductance [µH]
Cc: Cable capacitance [µF]
Zc =
Lc
Cc
3. Mixing of different types of cable
In a C-Bus loop (or stub line) only one type of cable may be used.
4. Operation as a stub line
If the C-Bus is operated as a stub line, two end-of-line resistors (values as for Ri)
must be inserted externally at both ends of the line (default 110Ω). In the choice of
other cables the above rules apply (the Ri are in this case the external end-of-line
resistors).

8 Limitations of C-Bus participants
This chapter describes the quantitative limits of the FC700A station.
The selection of the station type depends on the requirements. The following variants are available:

8.1.2 Limits in the logical structure
The limits in the logical structure are given by the node-type, by the highest possible CSX number and the maximum amount of display-digits. These limits are given
by the system and are independent of the memory capacity.

The maximum number of control zones with 16 criteria is limited by 200.
To optimize the performance of your system minimize the number of CPU-overlapping controls as
much as possible.
A maximum of 40 CPU-overlapping controls (zone control 6) are admissible per C-Bus.

8.2 Control terminal limits (FC/FT)
8.2.1 Limitation of visible texts on a FC700A
The number of texts of other stations (i.e. AREAS) that can be displayed on one
control terminal is limited by 14'000 texts.
To evaluate how many control panels FC700A can be displayed to one FC700A,
the following calculation must be used:
Twice the number of visible sections (worst case 1000)
+ The number of visible ZONES (worst case 1000)
+ The number of visible ELEMENTS with element text (worst case 1000)
= Number of texts per FC/FT (worst case 4000)
Example (worst case)
14'000 : 4000 (e.g.) = 3 fully configured FC can be displayed to one FC
8.2.2 Limitation of visible texts on a FT700A
The number of texts of other stations (FC700A) that can be displayed on one control terminal is limited by 14'000 texts.
To evaluate how many control panels FC700A can be displayed to one FT700A,
the following calculation must be used:
Twice the number of visible sections (worst case 1000)
+ The number of visible ZONES (worst case 1000)
+ The number of visible ELEMENTS with element text (worst case 1000)
= Number of texts per FC/FT (worst case 4000)
Example (worst case)
30'000 : 4000 (e.g.) = 7 fully configured FC can be displayed to one FT
