DESCRIPTION
The FC-73 Series Fire Alarm Control
panel is a proven, versatile conventional
zoned unit which meets the requirements
of NFPA Standard 72 for Central Station,
Protected Premises, Auxiliary, Remote
and Proprietary Supervising Station Fire
Alarm Systems. It is listed to UL Stan-
dard 864; inherently power limited, and has
all necessary circuitry to meet the UL tran-
sient immunity requirements.
The system is housed in a heavy-duty
steel enclosure finished in red, with pan-
els displaying the status of vital functions.
The surface mounted enclosure, with its
slim appearance (4-inch depth), is designed
to blend with any environment. The cabi-
net can house up to 7AH batteries while
the system’s power supply can maintain
batteries of up to 33 AH batteries (enclosed
in the separately available BC-1R, 1100-
0654).
The many features of the FC-73 pro-
vide a cost effective approach to system
design, and allow a great degree of flex-
ibility in one enclosure. The panel provides
ten (10) Class "B" (Style B) or five (5) Class
"A" (Style D) zones, expandable to twenty
(20) Class "B" or ten (10) Class "A" zones
with the addition of the ZDM-FC73 Mod-
ule. The FC-73 also provides four (4) Class
"B" (Style Y) or two (2) Class "A" (Style Z)
notification appliance circuits.
Standard on all FC-73 control panels are
a City Master Box output, Polarity Rever-
sal signaling connections, and Integrated
DACT. The combination of a conventional
fire alarm control panel with a micropro-
cessor design allows for programming of
many unique features such as time limit
cutoff, programmed verification, pre-alarm
delay, and cross-zoning. Individual zones
can be assigned specific outputs and zone
types such as alarm, supervisory or
waterflow. In addition, up to eight (8) se-
lectable/programmable notification appli-
ance circuit output patterns are available
for alternate styles of warnings. Program-
ming is achieved through the LCD-FC73
annunciator module or through the Field
Configuration Program (FCP-73).
Supervision of vital components, modules,
functional switches, and standby batter-
ies is provided.
The integral Digital Alarm Communica-
tor Transmitter supports all standard re-
porting formats including:
•
3/1, 1400 Hz
•
3/1, 2300 Hz
•
SK 4/2, 1400 Hz
•
SIA 8
•
SIA 20

Optional modules include an LCD remote
annunciator, a zone expander module used
to expand the system and a status dis-
play module which provides outputs and
control functions for each zone as well as
program access.
