FC-4224
FOUR-ZONE PANEL
CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The FC-4224 Fire Alarm Control panel is a proven, versa-
tile, four-zone control with space to accommodate an op-
tional digital communicator. It meets the requirements of
NFPA Standard 72 for Central Station, Protected Premises,
and Remote (DACT) Supervising Station Fire Alarm Sys-
tems. It is Listed to UL Standard 864, inherently power lim-
ited and meets all UL transient immunity requirements.
The many features of the FC-4224 control provide a
cost-effective approach to systems design, and allow a great
degree of flexibility in one enclosure. These features include
a choice of four (4) Class B, Style B or two (2) Class A, Style
D initiating circuits together with a choice of two (2) Class B,
Style Y or one (1) Class A, Style Z notification appliance cir-
cuit, rated at 1.25 amps each. Notification appliance circuits
can be configured as silenceable or non-silenceable.
DIP switch programming is used throughout, eliminating
the need for computers and associated software.
A time delay of 30, 60 or 90 seconds is available for
waterflow switches.
The control is housed in a red steel enclosure with a win-
dow offering a view of LEDs displaying the status of vital
functions and allowing access to switches controlling system
operation. The surface mounted enclosure, with its slim ap-
pearance (3 3/8-inch depth) is designed to blend with any en-
vironment. Space is available for two (2) B-7R batteries.
Supervision of vital components, plug-in modules, func-
tional switches and standby batteries is provided.
The optional digital communicator includes a wide range
of selectable transmission formats to communicate to most
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
and programmable event codes per format. The FC-4224
control is programmable for AC power loss delay required
for DACT operation.
An optional serial annunciator driver allows remote alarm
annunciation to as many as four (4) Model FC-2866 remote
annunciators.
Other optional modules include the FC-2880 I/O module
which provides 34 pre-defined open collector outputs that
can be used to drive LEDs or relays.
