FC-5C
FIVE ZONE PANEL
Conventional Fire Alarm Control
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).
