is customized to individual security needs. Such a security concept may result in additional site-specific
preventive action to ensure that the building comfort, fire safety, security management or physical security
system for your site are operated in a secure m anner . These measures may include, but are not limited to,
separating networks, physically protecting system components, user awareness programs, defense in depth,
etc.
For additional information on building technology security and our offerings, contact your Siemens sales or

OVERVIEW
Dialer FCA2015-U1 mounted on 2HU Enclosure
Step 1)
DIALER
FCA2015
PMI
OPERATING UNIT
The FCA2015-U1 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) Board is an optional module for the
Desigo FC2025/2050, FV2025/2050, Cerberus PRO FC922/924, FV922/924, and XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular Fire Alarm System Control Panels. The DACT provides telephone line
connections for communication with a DACR (Digital Alarm Communicator Receiver). The DACT Board is
mounted inside the Fire Alarm cabinet. The DACT Board options are set through the control panel
programming sequence.
INSTALLATION ON DESIGO AND CERBERUS PRO PANELS
Dialer FCA2015-U1 mounted on the back of the inner
door (when used with a 3HU Enclosure)

qualified personnel who have
thoroughly read and understood this
instruction sheet.
Step 2) Disconnect BATTERY and AC on the
cabinet prior to working on the
equipment.
Step 3) Mount FCA2015-U1 as shown using
the four screws that are supplied.
Step 4) Attach conduit and run wires as
required. Wire Size: 12-22AWG
Step 5) Connect the Serial Communication
Cable to the fire system control unit as
required.
Step 6) Apply power to system.
Step 7) Program for proper operation.
NOTE: See the Desigo FC2025/2050,

INSTALLATION ON XLS/DESIGO FIRE SAFETY MODULAR/CERBERUS PRO
MODULAR
For instructions on installing and wiring the FCA2015-U1 DACT to the XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular panel, refer to the XDACT-ASSY Installation Instructions, Document ID
A6V10807278.
If a message indicating an XDACT firmware mismatch is displayed on the Operator Interface (OI), upgrade
the XDACT firmware as follows.
FIRMWARE UPDATE ON XLS/DESIGO FIRE SAFETY MODULAR/CERBERUS PRO
MODULAR SYSTEMS
To update the firmware on an FCA2015-U1 that is installed on a XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/C erb er us
PRO Modular system, establish an Ethernet connection between the PC and the OI, then select the XDACT
module in the Zeus configuration. Next, select Build > Transfer > Module Firmware To Panel… in Zeus.
Select the XDACT firmware file under Firmware File, then set the Connection Settings as needed and click
Start Transfer to begin the update. Transfer Completed will be displayed in Zeus after the firmware update
has completed.
FCA2015-U1 WIRING
NOTE: The RJ31X provides a convenient connection allowing the DACT to be installed and removed
without requiring re-wiring and can be installed by the telephone installer.
NOTE: If installed in Canada, the signal receiving centre must not share a common communication channel
with the protected premises. A dedicated line must be installed for use only by the FCA2015-U1.
NOTE: Either of the two lines at X300 or X301 can be disabled using the Engineering Configuration tool for
the case where the dialer is connected to an alarm communicator that is capable of transmitting with
two separate technologies (ex. GSM and POTS). Consult the installation instructions for the
communicator to determine if it supports this capability.

• The DACT can be used with alarm communicators that also employ other transmission technologies
for off-premises signaling for UL. The DACT is limited to off-premises transmission for ULC.
• When using these alarm communicators, the DACT shall be configured for Contact ID.
• Refer to the Alarm Communicator Installation Instruction for compatible receivers.
• Wiring between the DACT and the alarm communicator shall be within 20 feet, and in conduit.
• All compatible Alarm Communicators s hall be installed in accordance with their installation
instructions.
• A means must be provided for detection of faults on the communicator by the fire alarm panel, as
described in the installation instructions for the communicator. This is typically done by connecting a
trouble-activated relay on the communicator to an input switch module (i.e. HTRI).
• The TL300CF communicator must be wired as shown below.
NOTE: This relay must be listed to ULC S527.
