Description

The FC-5C Fire Alarm Control panel is a proven, versatile,

modular control with integral communicator and remote-

site Upload/Download capability. It meets the require-

ments of NFPA Standard 72 for Central Station, Protected

Premises, and Remote (DACT) Supervising Station Fire

Alarm Systems. It is Listed to UL Standard 864, inherently

power limited and meets all UL transient immunity require-

ments.

The integral communicator includes a wide range of se-

lectable transmission formats to communicate to virtually

all central stations. Other features of the communicator

are: A line-active indicator for each of two phone lines,

“Kiss-Off’ signal LED, dual ”low telephone voltage detect"

circuitry, programmable event codes per format and se-

lectable/deselectable transmission of 62 events. In addi-

tion, five zones may be configured to five channels as a

slave communicator with auto-resettable channels for use

with UL Listed control panels.

Multiple security techniques allow uploading or download-

ing within one minute without affecting normal fire panel

functions. Key system information that can be uploaded

are: Current System Status, History, Walk Test Files and

System Programming.

An integral voltmeter allows voltage measurements for

Zone, AC line, NAC 1, NAC2, resettable power and bat-

tery.

The control is housed in a red steel enclosure with back

lighted panels displaying the status of vital functions. The

surface mounted enclosure, (trim ring optional) with its

slim appearance (3-inch depth) is designed to blend with

any environment. Space is available for two (2) B-7R bat-

teries.

The many features of the FC-5C control provide a cost

effective approach to systems design, and allow a great

degree of flexibility in one enclosure. Many of these fea-

tures include Class B, Style B, (with one Class A, Style D)

initiating circuits and two (2) Class B, Style Y or Class A,

Style Z notification appliance circuits, expandable from 1.5

to 2.5 amps each. Fully programmable via integral key-

pad, the notification appliance circuits may be pro-

grammed

Silenceable,

Non-silenceable,

Auto-silence

(program 5 to 30 minutes) and Silence Inhibit (60 sec-

onds).
