• 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.

Walk Test Mode Operation

17

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Loop devices – Things to Remember

18

FC501 Engineering

• 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 pre-programmed 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.

Loop devices – Things to Remember

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Day / Night Setting

20

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

• 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 pre-programmed 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.

Auto-Enrolment

22

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Device Mapping Option

23

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Device Mapping Procedure

24

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Device Mapping Procedure

26

FC501 Engineering

• 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’

Device Mapping Procedure

27

FC501 Engineering

• 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.

Cause & Effect Programming

28

FC501 Engineering

• 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.
