The following versions of the Fireclass200 series are available:
FC200 - Master panel with 4 A Linear power supply;
FC200/S - Master panel with 2.5 A Switching power supply;
FC200/SL - Slave panel without power supply unit;
f a technical feature is common to all versions, the name Fireclass200 is used in the description.
If a technical feature applies to a specific version, the name of the version concerned is specified.
Proper functioning of the FireClass200 components can be guaranteed ONLY when ambient
conditions, external to the cabinet, comply with the 3k5 category of IEC 721-3-3:1978.
The Loops of the FireClass200 control panel support 396 Analogue Devices.
The Conventional Zone of the FireClass200 control panel supports30 Conventional Devices.
The Fireclass200 supports a maximum of 512 devices in all.
In order to meet standards and qualify for IMQ Certification, the FC200/SL Slave panel must
be equipped with a BENTEL BA424 (27.6 V - 4 A) Linear power supply or
BENTEL BAQ60/24 (27.6 V - 2.5 A) Switching power supply.
Only the Manufacturer (Access Level no. 4 — refer to “Accss Levels” section) can install the
FC200/SL Slave panel power supply.
The FC200/SL Slave panel can operate ONLY when connected to a FireClass200 Master panel.

OVERVIEW
Access Levels
The FireClass200 Access Levels filter system control as follows.
Level 1 All persons can view the system status through the Plexiglas window.
Level 2A Only authorized key holders can open the cabinet door access the manual
commands (RESET, SILENCE and LOGGER).
Level 2B Only authorized User PINs (1 to 5 digit codes) can Enable/Disable the
Loop devices, Bell Outputs, Software Zones and Network devices.
Level 3A Only the Installer PIN (1 to 5 digit code) can access the parameter pro-
gramming phase.
Level 3B 0nly authorized personnel are allowed to open the cabinet (remove the screws
and open the control panel door) for maintenance work (change the battery,
replace fuses, etc).
Level 4 Only the manufacturer is allowed to open the cabinet (remove the screws
and open the control panel door) for PCB repair work (replace compo-
nents, etc.).
Main Features
Day/Night The FireClass200 can operate in Day or Night Mode.
If the system is silenced during Day Mode, SILENCE status will be held
until the system is unsilenced (i.e. unless new alarms or faults occur).
If the system is silenced during DAY Mode, SILENCE status will be held
until the system is unsilenced (i.e. unless new alarms or faults occur).Si-
lence will be enabled until the SILENCE button is pressed again.
If the system is silenced during NIGHT Mode, SILENCE status will be for
the preset time (accepted values: 30 seconds to 30 minutes).
This system provides Automatic Alarm Threshold variation.
The preset Alarm Threshold of analogue detectors will be increased during
Day Mode, in order to avoid false alarms caused by persons (cigarette
smoke, etc.) in the protected ambient.
OVERVIEW 7

Options with requirements
The FireClass200 control panel provides the following options with require-
ments (complies with European norm EN54 part 2):
Øoutputs to fire alarm routing equipment
Øco-incidence detection
Øfault signals from points
Ødisablement of addressable points
ØTest condition
Telecom Module FC200/COM (Accessory item)
The Telecom Module sends recorded messages to programmed telephone
numbers and, using reporting protocols, transmits data to central stations.
This module allows operators to manage the system over-the-phone by
means of the FC200/SW software package.
Description

rRecords one 11 second alarm message per channel
r32 programmable telephone numbers
rAccepts 15 digit telephone numbers and 1 or 5 second pauses
rRepeats alarm messages for up to 20, 40, 60 or 80 seconds
rRepeats call cycle up to 5 times
rVoice answer detection
rBypassable "dial tone" test
rTelephone-line Interface
rProtected against over-voltage
rDTMF and Pulse dialling
rDigital recording/Message playback
rNon-volatile memory
rManages the following reporting protocols:
ADEMCO SLOW 10 BAUD, ADEMCO FAST 14 BAUD, FRANKLIN 20
BAUD, RADIONICS 40 BAUD, SCANTRONIC 10 BAUD, CONTACT ID
(DTMF), SIA 300 BAUD.
Alarm cycle
If an alarm channel triggers an alarm, the telephone dialler will generate
the respective alarm cycle (as per figure 1).
8Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass200

Phase 1 The dialler will switch to the telephone line.
Phase 2 The dialler will wait 3 seconds then will engage the telephone line.
Phase 3 If the Dial-tone check option is enabled (refer to the "Programming" sec-
tion), the dialler will wait for the dial tone.
NOTE: If the dialler does not detect the dialling tone within the preset
time, it will repeat the process 4 times before hooking-up and stepping
back to phase 1.
If this option is disabled the dialler will go directly to the next phase.
Phase 4 The dialler will dial the telephone number associated the with the alarm
channel concerned.
Phase 5 If the Voice answer detection option is enabled (refer to the "Programming"
section), the dialler will wait 25 seconds for a voice answer and, if detected,
will step to the next phase. If the Voice answer detection option 6is disabled,
the dialler will pause for several seconds before going to the next phase.
Phase 6 The dialler will send the respective alarm channel message. The message
will be played for the preset Message playback time (20, 40, 60 or 80
seconds).
Call cycle The Call cycle (set up during the programming phase) determines the
number of times each telephone number ---- assigned to the alarm channel
concerned ---- will be dialled (1 to 5 times).

10 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass200

PARTS IDENTIFICATION
This chapter holds the full description of the main components and LEDs
of the FireClass200. In most cases, the numbers in boldface refer to the
parts shown in the tables and figures.
Main unit (FireClass200)
The Flashing status of certain LEDs is not dealt with in the following ta-
ble, as it signals that the assigned event occurred and ended before the
last rearming operation.
LED MEANING
ALARM ON: the control panel is in ALARM status.
MORE ALARMS ON: presence of more than one alarm condition.
PRE-ALARM FLASHING: PRE-ALARM status - the sensors have detected an alarm condition. The Outputs will be activated when the PRE-ALARM delay
ends.
TELECOM ON: the control panel is physically connected to the telephone line.
MAIN POWER OFF: mains failure. Mains power must be restored before the batteries
empty.
WALK TEST FLASHING: Walk Test mode on a Software Zone; an alarm condition on the Zone in question will generate an alarm status on the assigned
Outputs for approximately one second.
DISABLED ON:at least one device is disabled.
NIGHT ON: the control panel is operating in NIGHT mode.
DAY ON: the control panel is operating in DAY mode.
FAULT ON: presence of at least one fault condition; the type of fault will be
signalled by the associated LED and/or on the display.
MAINS
ON: mains failure; the standby batteries will takeover the power supply to
the control panel. This LED is complementary to the green MAINS-
POWER LED, and will continue to signal the fault event after mains
power has been restored (memory).
LOW BATTERY ON: low batteries; proper functioning of the control panel cannot be guaranteed in the event of black-out. Wait several hours, if the LED stays
ON the batteries are not rechargeable and must be replaced
BATTERY FAULT ON: batteries are completely empty or not connected - check fuse 41
GROUND ON: voltage leak to ground - check connection insulation.
FUSES ON:burnt fuse (fuse 41 or 42) - the fuse concerned will be indicated on
the display.
LOGIC UNIT ON: "blocked" microprocessor - call Installer for service.
PARTS IDENTIFICATION 11

ADDRESS ON: loss of a loop device.
SAME ADDRESS ON: two devices on the same loop have the same address.
SILENCE
ON: the SILENCE button has been used to places the SILENCEABLE
Outputs in standby status. DAY mode SILENCE status will be held until
the SILENCE button is pressed again. NIGHT mode SILENCE will be
held for the programmed SILENCE time.
Z01 ÷Z16
ON: the corresponding zone is in ALARM Status.
Flashing (3 secs. ON - 1 sec. OFF): the corresponding Zone is in PRE-
ALARM status .
Flashing (1 sec. ON - 0.5 sec. OFF): the FIXED delay is active.
Flashing (2 secs ON - 2 secs OFF): the PAS delay is active.
BUTTON FUNCTION
SILENCE Places the SILENCEABLE Outputs in standby status: DAY mode SILENCE status will be held until the SILENCE button is pressed again.
NIGHT mode SILENCE is held for the programmed SILENCE time.
ACK Activates the PAS delay (if pressed when the FIXED delay is active).
RESET REARMS the control panel.
TEST Tests the control panel buzzer and LEDs. When this button is pressed, all warning LEDs should light and the buzzer should emit a intermittent
acoustic signal (1 sec. beep - 1 sec. pause).
