LED and the warning buzzer and the signal contact.
① Control unit ： Control unit communicates with the detector,
Control unit controls the indicating LED and 7seg. LED and
the buzzer and signal contact according to the state of the
detector and itself.
FC1-DY：DIN rail mount type
FC1-HY：Surface mount type
② Communication line ： It is the line which shares the power supply and the
communication line of the detector.
③ Detector ： The connectable detector is shown with the 7th section.
２．１．２． Power Supply
Power supply of the control unit is DC24V±10%.
･
Please prepare for the control unit exclusive power supply as much
as possible.
･Please reduce the electrical noises on power supply.(Bellow 1Vp-p)
･If necessary, attach a proper noise filter to the power supply line.

２．２．３． Installation places
The control unit must be installed on conductive place where is grounded. And must be used,
When it covers around control unit, electronic buzzer sound hears and becomes difficult to
take. In addition, also heat dissipation becomes bad, becomes cause of breakdown.
Because of this, usually at least please guarantee the space of width above 10mm substance
control unit top and around the guaranty of the passage of air current for heat dissipation
as a purpose.
２.３. Installation of detector
Install the mounting base for detector installation with the two screws M3 which is more
than 15mm length.
And install the detector just in the mounting base.
Caution

Caution
！
！！
！
･
Install and use with environmental temperature and the humidity
which are within specification value.
･If the
control unit is not correctly installed, it causes the
malfunction, the breakdown, and the fall.
Please note it especially when using it with a lot of vibrations.
･
When the installation screw is loose, it causes the fall, the
short-circuit, and the malfunction.
･
When the installation screw is tightened too much, it causes the
fall, the short-
circuits, and malfunctions by the damage of the
screw and the control unit.

２.４. Wiring
２．４．１． Power Supply
When turning on power source, rush current is between several mS, but above 10A it flows.
Wiring please tries to withstand this.
Earthing connection of the ground terminal please goes in order to protect the equipment
from electric shock accident prevention and electric noise, securely.
２．４．２． Communication line
The communication line is connected with control unit and detector as the power line and
the signal line. Therefore, use the shield cable of 0.5mm
2
, and connect the shield part in
the shield cable with the terminal FG.
Divergence wiring is possible concerning wiring. In addition also polarity is nonpolar
characteristics.
Do not bundle with line which gives out other electric noise and separate from it.
･Please do the wiring after the external power supply off. It may
get
an electric shock or the control unit may break down.
･Please use the terminal cover for the control unit when the unit
is
energized, after do the wiring.
If the terminal cover is not used, it may get an electric shock.
･When miss-
wiring or connecting to a power supply different from
ratings, it causes a fire and the breakdown.
･Please give the noise of power supply (DC24V±
10%) to the control
unit as 1Vp-p or less.
Please decrease with the power supply filter etc, whe
n the influence
of the noise is strong.

It lights up when the number of detectors which have been recognized is greater than
specification at the detector number switch of control unit
c． DET.UNDER
It lights up when the number of detectors which have been recognized is less than specification
at the detector number switch of control unit.
Control unit, the numbers of detectors recognizing few, lights up similarly even when being
disconnected of the communication line and broken wire inside the detector.

Procedures/steps to be taken in the event of alarm occurrence
When this system inspects abnormality, the following warning is output from control unit.
When warning is output, verifying circumstance, please do necessary disposal.
４.１. Alarm
The alarm occurs when the alarm signal (AON) from the detector is received by the control
unit.
(1) The alarm LED lights up.
(2) The buzzer (continual sound) rumbles.
(3) The alarm signal contact is output.
(4)The alarm detector address is indicated in 7seg LED indication.
４.２. Zone Alarm
The zone alarm is one of alarm information. That occurs when address recognition becomes
impossible in communication obstacle and control unit or breakdown of the detector,
(1) The alarm LED blinks.
(2) The buzzer (continual sound) rumbles.
