Fixing cables and removing the outside isolation. 6. Lay the mains cable along the left side and signal and control lines to the right side of the housing.
Install chassis on the wall / screws (∅ min. 5 mm) and plastic dowels are not included. Switch off the mains supply and connect the power cable. Connect signal and control lines of installed field device (zones, outputs and inputs). Initial start-up, see chapter 4.7.

Connection overview 4.2.1 The graphic below shows the default configuration of the panel. Available zones, outputs and inputs are considered in the chapter 3.3. Example FC124-ZA – – – – – – – COM NO AUX 24V ZONE1 ZONE2 ZONE n INPUT OUT1 OUT2...
Zone modes Standard 4.3.1 The Standard line supports collective and conventional devices within the same zone. Technical: Each line must be terminated with EOL element Transzorb diode (18 V TVS). Max. 32 devices on each line Programming: Configure g Zone g Zone 1 – n g Mode g Standard –...
The mixed line allows a mixture of detectors and manual call points within the same zone. Moreover it can distinguish between direct and delayed alarming. Technical: Siemens detectors 110-series or detectors with an alarm resistor are required for delayed alarming (AVC, V1 / V2). MCPs require a Z-diode for direct alarming (AVC).
DB110D part number S54372-F6-A1 or DB110RD part number S54372-F8-A1 MCPs require a Z-diode for direct alarming (AVC). Siemens detectors 110-series or detectors with an alarm resistor are required for delayed alarming (AVC, V1 / V2). Each line must be terminated with EOL element Capacitor 10 µF.
Short = alarm 4.3.4 This line supports a mixture of detectors and MCPs within the same zone. In addition, this line supports devices with a closed contact for alarm. Only automatic fire detectors can be switched off. Manual call points with the alarm criterion 'Short = Alarm' are always switched on and cannot be switched off.
Sounder controls, fire outputs and dialer Technical: Max. current FC121-ZA and FC122-ZA à 24 V / 0.5 A FC123-ZA and FC124-ZA à 24 V / 1 A Each line must be terminated with EOL element (Diode 1N4007) Supervised functionality: Not available Programming: Configure g Output g Output 1 –...
Page 27
Functionality 'Supervised line': The panel monitors the line in terms of open and short circuits from the panel to the EOL element. In addition to the line monitoring, the panel will recognize a change of line resistance. Due to aging or other circumstances (creeping effect), the transition resistance on contacts may increase, which in turn leads to voltage drop.
In order to detect the creeping effect (supervision), the line must be calibrated during the commissioning process. A line fault is indicated if the resistance is higher than calibrated. The range of the line resistance including the relay is between 200-1000 Ω. Application: With EOL diode: Sounder controls, fire outputs and alarm dialer.
Dialer connection 4.4.4 The FC12x fire control panel provides 'monitored' and 'supervised' dialer connections: Application 1 'Alarm dialer' output (OUT2) monitors the line to the dialer. 'Fault dialer' output (OUT3) has no line monitoring to the dialer. (Does not fulfill chapter 8.9 in EN 54-2) Programming: Configure g Outputs g Output 2 g Alarm dialer g Activation condition 'General Alarm'...
