Installation Instructions

Model RCC-3/-3R/-3C/-3F/-3FC/-3FR
Remote Command Center

INTRODUCTION

The Model RCC-3/-3R/-3C Remote Command
Center from Siemens Industry, Inc. is an optional
MXL/MXLV System remote keyboard panel (See
Figure 1). The RCC-3R is red and will be re­ferred to in the remainder of this document as
the RCC-3. The RCC-3F/-3FC/-3FR Remote
Command Center, which is used for flush
mounting applications, has a 3/4 inch flange on
all four sides of the enclosure. The RCC-3FR is
red and will be referred to in the remainder of
this document as the RCC-3F.

CAUTION: When preparing the opening for the
RCC-3F/-3FC make sure it does not exceed the

dimensions of the enclosure as shown in Figure 2,
plus the dimensions of the flange.

The panel in the RCC-3/-3C/-3F/-3FC has a multi­line display that continuously updates information
about the system event status. If there are
multiple events (alarms, security conditions,
supervisories and/or troubles), the highest
priority event that occurred displays on the
screen. The user can view up to 8 events at a
time and can scroll through the complete list

using the Up ( ) and Down ( ) keys located
next to the More Info key. For further information

Mounting the RCC-3/3F

on the operation of the MXL Multi-Line Keyboard/
Display Panel, refer to the MXL Keyboard/
Display Panel Operating Instructions, P/N 315­048692, and Section 3, OPERATION, in the
MXL/MXLV Manual, P/N 315-092036.

The keyboard/display panel has keys for the
following functions:

• Acknowledging fire alarms (ALARM ACK)

• Silencing audibles (AUD SIL)

• Acknowledging supervisories (SUPV ACK)

• Acknowledging troubles (TRBL ACK)

• Acknowledging security conditions (SEC ACK)

There is also a separate key for resetting the
Control Panel (RESET)

The 10-digit phone style keypad allows entry of
the three levels of user passwords. It is also
used to perform specific menu-driven operations,
as well as programming and maintenance
functions.

Separate UP and DOWN keys located next to the
MORE INFO key allow the user to scroll forward
and backwards through the entire list of events.

Figure 2

The SPACE key allows the user to input ad­dresses faster by enabling them to reduce
redundant key presses of the “0” key.

The MORE INFO key allows the user to instantly
view all relevant information about the highlighted
event, which is displayed in the last three lines of
the screen.

The user can access the MXL Control menu by
pressing the ENTER key.

The panel has System status indicator LEDs.
The ALARM and TROUBLE LEDs function even
if the main processor fails. (See Figure 1).

INSTALLATION

Always remove all power before installation,
first the battery and then the AC.

The RCC-3/-3C/3F/-3FC comes with the key­board/display panel installed in the enclosure and
a clear lens installed in the door, as shown in
Figure 1.

Rear View of Keyboard/Display Panel in RCC-3/3F

Before mounting the RCC-3/-3C/3F/-3FC,
remove the four nuts from the keyboard panel
and place them to one side. Carefully lift the
panel up and off the standoffs. Set the panel to
one side.

Consider the following when mounting the
backbox:

• Mounting height for visual and manual
access to the keyboard/display panel

• Weight and size of the enclosure

• Local mounting codes

1. Fasten the backbox securely to a clean, dry,
shock-free, and vibration-free surface using
the four mounting holes provided. Position
the backbox clear of obstructions so that the
door opens freely and the indicators and
controls are easily accessible.

2. Set the Network Address for the RCC-3
using the three ten-position rotary switches
(S1, S2 and S3) located on the back of the
keyboard/display panel, as shown in Figure 3.
For example, to set the switches to address
248: set S1 to 2, set S2 to 4, and set S3 to 8.
The possible addresses for this module are
248, 259, 250, and 251.

NOTE:

There is no need to set supervision on the
RCC-3/-3C/3F/-3FC because it is, by default,
always supervised. No unsupervised
annunciators (MKB-1/-2/-3/-4) are allowed
at the same address as an RCC-3/-3C/3F/­3FC. Unsupervised applications require the
use of the MKB-1/-2/-3/-4 and they must all
be set to the same address.

3. Pull all field wiring into the backbox and
dress the wiring to the approximate location
to which it will go.

4. Remove the connector plugs from J8. Attach
the wiring to the connector plugs in positions
1 and 2 for Style 4 (refer to Figure 4) and
positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 for Style 7 (refer to
Figures 5 and 6). Always connect position 5
to Chassis GND (Earth GND).

5. Remove the connector plugs from J12.
Attach the field wiring to the connector plugs,
making sure that position 1 on J12 is for
+24VDC and position 2 on J12 is for -24VDC
return.

6. To adjust the contrast and brightness of the
display, use pots VR1 and VR2 respectively,
located on the back of the keyboard /display
panel. (Refer to Figure 3.)
