2. Installation Considerations
iFor proper installation, read and understand NFPA-72, The National Fire Alarm Code be-
fore installation.
Caution:
DDo not remove the plastic film from the detector head until construction of the installation area is
finished.
DProtect the detector sensor windows from paint or contaminates. Remove the detector head during
remodelling and store it in aclean dry location.
.If you do not follow these cautions, the detector might not operate.
Detector Location and Spacing:
DBOSCH recommends spacing the sensors in compliance with NFPA-72. In low air flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space sensors with amaximum distance of 30 ft. For specific information regarding
sensor spacing, placement and special application refer to NFPA-72.
DNot suitable for outdoor use.
DDo not install in areas where the detector is pointed at
direct or indirect sunlight.
DDo not mount detector in acone of light from alamp.
DMaintain ahemispherical radius of at least 19 in.
(50 cm) around the detector (see Fig. 1.).
Insure that this area in front and to the sides of the
detector is kept clear of all obstructions (see Fig. 1.).
Further Considerations:
DOnly use end-of-line (EOL) resistors supplied or specified by the control panel manufacturer.
DSmoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.
DThis detector must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual.
DInstall, test and maintain this device according to this installation guide, NFPA-72, Local Codes and the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Failure to follow these procedures may cause the device to not
function properly. Bosch Security Systems is not responsible for any devices that are improperly
installed, tested or maintained.

Ceiling Mount Back Box (FAA-500-BB-UL)
D For installation, refer to the FAA-500-BB-UL Installation Guide
(P/N 601-F.01U.003.008).
Wiring the Base (FCA-500 and FCA-500-E)
iIn applications which require UL listed units, the power of all connections (detector
power, trouble and alarm relay) must be taken from power limited supplies when the
cable is carried through the grommets.
Please check with the local authorities to insure mounting without the conduit connector
is allowed.
Note:
DDo not twist or loop the wires around the terminals. The wires for terminal connection must be cut,
stripped, and inserted as individual ends.
DUse the cable holders on the base for strain relief for the wires.
iAn FCA-500-E Four-Wire EOL Base is required
Dfor single detector installations
Dalways as the last base for each stub line.
An EOL resistor can only be attached to the FCA-500-E Four-Wire EOL Base.
D EOL resistor: The last base on the stub line has to
be aFCA-500-E. For this, place the EOL resistor
between the two screw clamps (see Fig. 4.).
D Alarm resistor: If neccessary, change the alarm
contact resistance from 0Ωto 680 Ωby breaking
off the printed circuit board tongue (see Fig. 4.).
For 680 Ωbreak off alarm resistor here!

FCP-500 Series
Mounting the Base (FCA-500 and FCA-500-E)
1. Insert the base in the back box so that it fits over the four screws.
2. Turn the base clockwise until it stops to lock it in place.
3. Repeat steps 1and 2if you install multiple detectors in aline.
4. Slightly turn each base until the mark on the base aligns with the
other detectors’ marks (see Fig. 8.).
5. Tighten the screws with the supplied wrench.
Inserting the Detector Head
1. Remove the protective film from the detector head.
2. Snap the trim ring into place on the base.
3. Place the detector head in the base and turn it until the detector head drops into the alignment grooves.
4. Push the center of the detector until it locks into place. It clicks and springs up.
Start-up
1. Check the wiring from the control panel to the last head on the run for proper polarity and continuity.
2. Make sure each run terminates with an EOL resistor as specified by the control panel manufacturer.
3. Apply power to the system. Check for alarm and troubles.
4. If single detectors alarmed or went in trouble, check if there is afree space of at least 19 in. (50 cm)
around these detectors. If the problem persists, replace these detectors or swap them with known good
units. If also the good units alarm or go in trouble, the sensitivity may have been affected by the
surrounding environment. Recheck if there are any obstructions around the detector which may reflect
the light emitted by the detector.
5. Activate the dry reed contact of each detector for 10 sec with amagnet until the detector alarms (see
Section 5., Dry Reed Contact and Section 6., Electronical Function Test ). Then reset the detector by
removing the power for at least 2seconds. After the reset, the detector will calibrate itself to the
surrounding environment.. Make sure that no objects or obstructions (like the test tool SOLO330 itself)
are in front of the detector during calibration for 15 sec.
Alignment mark
Fig. 8.
iAfter installation each detector must be calibrated. If there are any obstruction in front of
the detector after the reset during its calibration (Electronic Function Test, Section 6.),
the sensitivity of the detector may be affected.
6. Perform the sensitivity test described in Section 7. at every detector.

4. Maintenance and Service
D Trained personnel should perform avisual and physical test according Table 6as recommended by
NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
D For cleaning the detector surface, use acommon window cleaner and asoft, clean cloth.
iNotify all concerned parties before any maintenance or testing of the fire alarm sy-
stem, and after completion of these activities.
Note:
D The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P must be replaced every five years. The chemical (CO) sensor turns off
at five years of operation. The LED double-flashes every 8to 12 sec, indicating trouble, and the detector
continues to function as an optical (O) detector.

4to6 Dirty, needs immediate cleaning
7to10 Trouble condition, very dirty, clean and check detector immediately
8. Smoke Test for the FCP-500 /FCP-500-P
Note: No testing gas (smoke aerosol) is required! For testing use only:
- Test Tool for Optical Smoke Detectors Solo 330 (Product ID 4.998.112.071)
- with FAA-500-TTL Test Adapter with Magnet (Product ID F.01U.508.725)
1. Activate the dry reed contact (Section 5., Dry Reed Contact).
2. Leave the magnet on the test tool by the dry reed contact for at least 2sec and not more than 4sec.
Count two flashes of the LED. The detector stays in test mode for 60 sec. The green LED blinks once a
second.
3. Hold the test tool under the detector so that the test beaker is flush with the trim ring.
Note: Do not tip the test tool, or the detector might come loose.
4. By covering the scattered light areas, both optical sensors are triggered simultaneously (no smoke
aerosol is required).
5. This can take up to 20 sec. An alarm activates and the red LED lights. If the panel is in test mode, the
alarm resets automatically.
9. CO and Smoke Test for the FCP-500-C /FCP-500-C-P
iThe CO sensor has not been evaluated to the requirements of UL 2075 or for its ability to
detect afire.
The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P detect carbon monoxide (CO) as acomponent of afire.
It is not aCO detector and cannot activate an alarm in the presence of CO only. It is
used to adjust the sensitivity of the smoke detector.
Perform the CO sensor test once ayear to confirm that the sensor is functioning.
Note: For testing use only:
- Test Tool for Optical Smoke Detectors Solo 330 (Product ID 4.998.112.071)
- with FAA-500-TTL Test Adapter with Magnet (Product ID F.01U.508.725)
- Solo CO Testing Gas (Product ID 4.998.142.221)
1. Conduct step 1to 5of Section 8. (Smoke Test) to ensure that the smoke sensor is functioning. After this
an alarm activates and the red LED lights steady. Don’t reset the detector.
2. If over 70 ppm of carbon monoxide is applied to the detector, the red LED of the detector starts flashing.
This indicates that the carbon monoxide sensor is working.
3. Reset the detector by removing the power.
