Note permissible environmental conditions.
Install the fire panel at a height above the ground that permits
convenient operation by the user and easy reading of the LCD
display.
Inserting the Cable
Route the necessary cables for zones, inputs and outputs, as
well as the power supply, etc., and carefully punch out the cable
entries needed for this.
!
Warning!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)! Electronic components could
become damaged. Ground yourself using a wrist strap or take
other suitable measures.

Remove the PC board if necessary. This is secured in the
housing with a grounding screw and snap-fit hook.
For cable entry on the upper side of the housing, use the pre-
formed round holes. For more stable insertion, M 20 x 1.5 screw
joints (PG13.5) can be used.
The cable entries on the rear are intended for direct cable entry
of flush mounted cables.
Opening the Housing
Remove the cover of the fire panel. Loosen both screws on the
underside of the housing, lift up the cover approx. 20° and
remove it.

2014.06 | 7.0 | F.01U.172.980 Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

Installing the Housing
Use the panel housing to draw drill holes at the desired location
on the wall (arrows in figure below). As an option, you can use
the mounting dimensions indicated on the back of the housing.
Ensure that the housing is aligned horizontally and draw on the
holes using the built-in spirit level in the upper left corner. The
dimensions can be taken from the drilling jib on the rear of the
housing. Drill the holes.
Guide the cables routed under plaster through the punched out
cable ducts on the rear of the housing into the housing. Mount
the housing to the wall using screws. Make sure that cables are
not pinched.
Then guide the cables routed on plaster through the cable
entries to the upper side of the housing.

Mains Supply
The fire panel requires a 230 V mains supply for the power
supply. Route the power supply so that the line does not cross
or touch the signal line.
Use the left M 20 x 1.5 screw joint (PG13.5) on the upper side
of the panel for the 230 V mains supply.
Notice!
Note local regulations when connecting to 230 V power
supplies.
Wire up the 230 V power supply to the screw clamp provided on
the power supply unit board. Use a cable tie to ensure strain
relief of the power supply feeder in the housing above the
power supply unit.
Danger!
Only perform installation work when the panel has no voltage.
There is a danger of an electric shock.

Batteries, 24 V Emergency Power Supply
You can use two 12 V batteries with maximum 7.2 Ah each in the
housing as emergency power supply.
The batteries are connected in series. If the mains power fails,
they are used to ensure interruption-free power supply of the
fire panel and the components fed by them.
Notice!
The fire panel can also only be started with the batteries if the
power supply is disconnected.
After you have placed the batteries in the housing, secure them
using the plastic foam blocks provided.
Position the plastic foam blocks in between the top of the
batteries and the housing.
There are different emergency current back-up times depending
on the battery capacity used and the current consumption of the
components connected to the panel. You can calculate this
using the battery calculator included on the CD.
After troubleshooting a mains fault and operating the fire panel
via emergency current, the power supply unit switches back to
mains operation automatically. The batteries are charged again
automatically.
Notice!
Note the polarity of the batteries.
If the batteries are connected with the polarity reversed, the
thermal fuse on the main board of the fire panel reacts.

Secure the batteries with the plastic foam blocks provided so
that they cannot move.
Extensions
Notice!
Note that the maximum line resistance for transistor outputs is
22.5 Ohm.
The extensions are connected to the left side of the main board.
Simply connect the board to the plugs. Make sure that the plug
engages correctly.

There is a groove on the top of the extensions. Make sure that
the board has been correctly installed.
Notice!
A maximum of two extensions can be connected:
FPC-500‑2: No extension can be connected
FPC-500‑4: One extension can be connected
FPC-500‑8: Two extensions can be connected
Wiring
External components such as zones, notification appliances,
inputs, etc. are wired to screw terminals attached to the upper
side of the board.

Notice!
The screw terminals are designed for a cable diameter of
0.8 mm and for cable cross sections of up to 1.5 mm2.
The fire panel is designed for unshielded cable. If you do use
shielded cable, only connect the cable shielding to the earth
bar on one side above the power supply unit.
Terminal resistances
The zones of the fire panels must be terminated. Use either
resistors or in case of EN 54-13 (BOSEC certificate TCC 2 - 977)
the EOL modules.
Notice!
Only use resistors with a maximum 1% tolerance.
The 3.9 kOhm resistors are supplied.

The fire panel offers two control inputs. You can assign different
functions to these depending on programming (see Configuring
Inputs, page 47).
The connection terminals IN1 and IN2 are available.
Notice!
Note that the maximum line resistance for inputs is 22.5 ohm.
Use 820 Ohm ±5% resistors for the alarm resistance (not
included in scope of delivery).
