New Addressable Panel for Conventional Needs
•
Zonal LEDS present for zones 1 to 8 on the
panel display. Other zones indicated on the
LCD display only.
•
All three loops must be free of wiring faults
for auto-enrolment to operate.
•
You can select (using the software only) the
configuration for the three loops. They can
be selected as a loop (4 wire) or bus (2
wire). This gives great flexibility.
•
Two power supplies fitted dependent on
market. UK – BAQ60T24 (2.5A) giving
400mA of loop power in total. Rest of the
World –BAQ35T24 (1.5A) giving 200mA of
loop power in total.

Loop devices – Things to Remember
•
There are 128 addresses available on the loop
•
Multi I/O devices do NOT take multiple
addresses. Instead each input and output on a
multi I/O device is considered to be a separate
channel of the multi I/O device at the single
address of the device.
•
For example an MIO410 addressed as 003 on
the loop is referenced as m003 (m for module)
with seven input/output channels named as i1,
i2, i3, o1, o2, o3, o4. Each of these is
individually programmable.
•
As a result the limit of 128 addresses on the
loop can actually be considered to be a limit of
128 devices whether they are multi I/O devices
or not.
18
FC501 Engineering
Loop devices – Things to Remember
•
There is no fault message on the FC501
equivalent to ‘unconfigured device’.
•
A device which is pre-programmed in the range
1 to 255 and present on the loop but not known
to the panel will not be seen or reported as an
‘unconfigured device’.
•
Auto-enrolment will inform the panel of any preprogrammed device it finds on the loop in the
range 1 -128 and will also inform and auto
address any device it finds on the loop with
address 255.
19
FC501 Engineering
Day / Night Setting
•
Day /night setting enables two facilities:
•
•
Delayed alarm activation (with suitable pre-alarm delay set in software)
The ability to change the mode of detectors via the software
•
Transition from day to night can be set up in the software to change
automatically based on the specified times. Alternatively it can be left to be
changed manually as required from the panel menu.
20
FC501 Engineering
Day / Night Setting
•
Delayed Alarm in Day Mode - The initial
investigate period is set on the FC501 by
use of the pre-alarm delay. On initial
activation of a detector there is a buzzer
and a ‘Time to Alarm’ counter on the LCD
display. If the ‘Investigate Delay’ button is
not pressed to extend the time then the
panel enters full alarm. As usual the
delay only applies if a pre-alarm time has
been set, the panel is in day mode and
the activated device is a detector. Delay
does not apply to Callpoints or Evacuate
buttons
•
Detector Mode Settings – Different modes
of operation can be selected for detectors
based on whether the FC501 is currently
in Day or Night mode.
21
FC501 Engineering
Auto-Enrolment
•
There is no fault message on the FC501
equivalent to ‘unconfigured device’.
•
A device which is pre-programmed in the range
1 to 255 and present on the loop but not known
to the panel will not be seen or reported as an
‘unconfigured device’.
•
Auto-enrolment will inform the panel of any preprogrammed device it finds on the loop in the
range 1 -128 and will also inform and auto
address any device it finds on the loop with
address 255.
22
FC501 Engineering
Device Mapping Option
•
Can be used to program loop devices during
commissioning by activating devices on the
loop(s) in sequence.
•
Option is available only if non-addressed
devices (address 255) are found during
enrolment and auto-addressing is invoked.
•
Two situations to consider;
i.
Multiple devices of the same type on the loop.
ii.
Only one device of a particular type on the
loop.
•
In order for the panel to address multiple
devices of the same type you must activate
them on the loop in sequence. The devices will
then be displayed on the LCD display in the
chronological sequence they were activated.
•
Devices which are unique on the loop (i.e. only
one of them) are included automatically.
23
FC501 Engineering
Device Mapping Procedure
•
At the end of the auto-addressing procedure
you will be invited to enter device mapping.
•
On entering device mapping you will see a
message stating ‘Device Mapping RUNNING’
The display will also have the following
columns present; evt, time, type, add
•
The display will normally be empty at this
stage. It will only fill with events once you begin
to activate multiple devices of the same type on
the loop.
•
Activate your detectors, call points etc in
sequence. That sequence will be displayed on
the device mapping screen as event 001,
event 002 etc. with the time, type of device
and current address and loop number of the
device displayed.
24
FC501 Engineering
25
Device Mapping Procedure
•
Devices which are unique on the loop (i.e.
there are only one of them present) will be
added automatically to the list by the panel with
the title ‘unique’ in the time column.
•
The zone mapping function will automatically
allocate devices it finds on the loop(s) to the
zones shown in the table on the right. These
can be edited later if required.
•
To begin editing the device map press the zero
(0) key on the display.
•
The current (temporary) address of the device
will be displayed. To accept it simply press
enter or alternatively change the address and
press enter.
•
You can then use the scroll keys to either move
to the next device in the list or continue to the
programming options for the current device.

Device Mapping Procedure
•
What about output devices?
•
As you cannot ‘activate’ output devices
(sounders, sounder bases etc) as you would a
detector during the device mapping process
they are displayed on the device list
automatically.
•
To enable accurate discrimination between
multiple output devices of the same type, for
identification and addressing purposes,
selecting an output device on the device map
list activates it.
•
The output device (e.g. sounder base) will be
‘active’ whilst it is selected allowing it to be
identified if necessary. You can also press the
silence/resound button to silence the selected
output device if you wish.
26
FC501 Engineering
Device Mapping Procedure
•
When you have completed all the required
addressing (and programming, if required) you
can exit device mapping by pressing the ESC
key.
•
You will see a message on the display saying
‘Are you sure you want to leave device
mapping’. Press enter to confirm that you do.
•
You may see a further message which states
‘Assignment of the final addresses RUNNING
Wait Please’
27
FC501 Engineering
Cause & Effect Programming
•
It is the specific output where the cause
and effect is configured
•
Can trigger from any of up to four zones.
•
Can trigger from any of up to three
individual devices (or channels of devices)
•
Can specify under which conditions the
specific zone(s) or specific trigger points
activate the output (Alarm, Pre-Alarm etc)
•
Alternatively you can specify that an
output operates for a number of global
conditions (Alarm, Pre-Alarm etc) present
on the panel.
During auto-enrolment all outputs are
marked as alarm from panel.
•
•
Can specify a delay for an output on an
alarm activation.

FC501 Engineering
Lost Installer (Level 3) Password Procedure
•
If you have lost the installer password (default:
00000) you will receive a ‘wrong password’
message on entering the installer password.
•
•
•
•
Remove link J5 on the PCB.
Press the ESC key to enter the main menu.
Select 1=Program.
You will be prompted to enter the Installer
password.
Enter the password of your choice starting with
a zero and then a further four digits (0****) and
press the enter key.
The panel will reset automatically followed by
the message ‘SYS INIT’ on the LCD display for
a brief period.
The new Installer Password is now
programmed in the panel.
Replace link J5 on the PCB.
