ences between the versions listed above
+The components of these Control panels operate
as intended when the external ambient conditions
comply with the requirements of class EN
60721-3-3:1995.
The FC501 control panel has a 4-line, 40 characters per
line LCD module with a backlight, which provides writ-
ten information regarding the system status and for pro-
gramming the control panel.
nAccessory Items
FC500REP This Repeater panel is intended for con-
nection (via 4 wires) to FC501 Control panels. It pro-
vides all the visual and audible warnings generated by
the Control panel and allows end-users to manage the
system from a remote location (up to 1000 m, with dou-
ble twist shielded cable).
The FC501 Control panels can support up to 4
FC500REP Repeater panels.
FC500-MFI FC500-MFI is a Programmable Multi func-
tional Module for connection of a real time event printer;
furthermore, thanks to the terminal blocks, it is also pos-
sible to connect a “standard interface” to remotely con-
trol and manage a set of Inputs and Outputs to control
the panel.

Time (during Night Mode).
INTRODUCTION 5

nOperating Features
Warning The FC501 control panel can be pro-
grammed to provide WARNINGS or Delay to Alarm sta-
tus before ALARM status.
This status is signalled by the WARNING display. The
panel generates a warning when an input point (detec-
tor) exceeds its warning threshold and there is risk of an
alarm. A warning state is also generated by the input
module, a useful feature to implement the system's su-
pervision capability.
The WARNING STATUS is signalled by:
Øcontrol panel buzzer (2 seconds of sound at 440 Hz
and then 2 seconds of pause).
Øa WARNING message on LCD display.
Øthe WARNING output points if the Delay to Alarm
option is enabled.
Delay to Alarm If a zone generates an alarm during
Day Mode, the Control panel will start the Delay to
Alarm Time. This status will be signalled by:
Øcontrol panel buzzer (0,5 seconds of sound at 880
Hz and then pause for 0,5 seconds ).
ØBlinking on the Delay to Alarm LED (for the first 8
zones only).
ØMessage ALARM+DLY on LCD display.
ØActivation of respective outputs, if the Delay to
Alarm option is enabled.
+This Control panel generates an Instant Alarm if
alarm conditions are detected during Night Mode
or if an alarm is triggered from a Callpoint.
During the Delay to Alarm status, the following actions
can be taken (see Access to Signalling and Com-
mands):
ØAccess Level L1: to activate an Evacuation Alarm
by pressing and holding the Evacuate Key ,
ØAccess Level L2: to stop the Silenceable outputs
and interrupt the Delay to Alarm Time by pressing
the Silence key
During Silence status (Silence LED glowing)
it is possible to use the Silence key to release the
Silenceable outputs, or use the Reset key to restore
standby status.
+If the Control panel is operating in Night Mode, the
Control panel will exit from Silence status automati-
cally when the programmed Silence Time expires.
Alarm The Control panel generates an alarm when the
Delay to Alarm Time expires. Alarm status will be sig-
nalled by:
Øcontrol panel buzzer (0,2 seconds of sound at 3300
Hz and then 0,2 seconds of pause).
Øglowing of the Alarm LED
Øan alarm message on LCD display.
Øactivation of the FIRE and SC1 outputs.
Øactivation of other outputs including SC2, OC1 or
OC2 if programmed.
During the Alarm status, (see Access to Signalling and
Commands) it is possible to:
ØAccess Level 2 to stop the Silenceable outputs by
pressing the Silence key.
ØAccess Level 2 to press the Reset key and Silence
Buzzer.
During the Silence status (Silence LED glowing), it is
possible to use the Silence key to release the
Silenceable outputs. The Reset key restores the
standby status.
+If the Control panel is in Night Mode (Day Mode
LED OFF), the Control panel exits Silence status
when the programmed Night mode Silence time
expires.
Day/Night Mode The control panel can operate in
DAY or NIGHT Mode. See the relevant section in the
“PC PROGRAMMING” chapter.
If the system is silenced during DAY Mode, the
SILENCE status will be held until the system is
unsilenced unless new alarms occurs. If the system is
silenced during NIGHT Mode, the SILENCE status is
held until the Night Mode Silence time expires.
On power up (at default), the system is set to DAY
Mode. During this operating mode, silenced
alarms/faults are not unsilenced automatically until the
Night Mode Silence time expires.
Fault This Control panel can detect and signal the
Faults shown in the Table 1. Fault conditions are sig-
nalled by:
Øthe control panel buzzer (1 second of sound at 660
Hz and pause for 1 second).
Øglowing on the Fault LED and on relative
Fault LED.
ØaFault message on LCD display.
Øactivation of the Fault output.
Øactivation of other outputs including SC2,OC1 or
OC2 if programmed.
The Fault output and any additional programmed fault
outputs (if correctly programmed by the Installer) will
automatically restore to standby when fault conditions
clear.
Under certain circumstances, fault conditions may clear
spontaneously. If this occurs, the event will be stored in
the memory until the Control panel is reset.
Stored Fault events will be signalled by slow blinking on
the Fault LED.
Silence This Control panel provides a Silence key
which can be used to restore the Silenceable outputs
to standby status.
The Silence status is signalled by glowing on the Si-
lence LED.
The Silence status is held until one of the following oc-
curs:
ØThe Silence key is pressed again
ØThe programmed Night mode Silence time expires
when the Control panel is operating in Night Mode
ØA new Alarm condition is detected.

USER #8 88888
The default passwords for the two installers are as
follows:
INSTALLER #1 00000
INSTALLER #2 99999.
By default, only the USER #1 works with its default
password. The other users are not available and not en-
abled. The USER #1 may not be disabled or made un-
available.
By default only the INSTALLER #1 works with its default
password. The other installers are not available and not
enabled. The INSTALLER #1 may not be disabled or
made unavailable.
Only the INSTALLER #1,via Fireclass Console or panel
User Interface, can modify the availability and enabling
the status of the USERs #2 to #8 and INSTALLER #2.
The INSTALLER #1, via Fireclass Console or panel
User Interface, may modify the password value for the
USERs #1 to #8 and INSTALLER #2.
+Each Installer or each User can modify its own
password.
When the first password is entered via User Interface by
INSTALLER #1 to a User/Installer, it will be declared as
"available" and will be automatically enabled.
If the first installer loses the password, it is possible to
enter a new password using the following procedure:
1. Remove the two screws (access level 4), open the
fire panel after and remove the jumper J5 of the main
board.
2. Access the installer menu page.

INSTALLATION
!Installation of this system must be carried out
strictly in accordance with the instructions in
this section, and in compliance with the local
safety regulations in force.
Prior to commencing the installation of the control
panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken to
prevent damage to the sensitive electronic components
on the display board and the control board due to elec-
trostatic discharge. You should discharge any static
electricity you may have accumulated by touching a
convenient earthed object such as an unpainted copper
radiator pipe. You should repeat the process at regular
intervals during the installation process.
To install the fire panel, follow these steps:
Øchoose suitable mounting locations for the Control
panel, detectors, fire warning and fire control devices.
+The panel must be located in a clean, dry position,
which is not subject to shock or vibration and at
least 2 metres away from pager systems or any
other radio transmitting equipment.
ØLay the cables between the Control panel and the
system peripherals.
+Fire alarm cables must be separated from all other
wiring that is not related to the fire alarm system.
ØIf necessary, install any accessory modules.
ØCarry out the necessary connections, leaving the
power-supply connection until last.
ØProgram the Control panel in accordance with the in-
structions in the “PROGRAMMING” section.
ØTest the entire system (Control panel, detectors, fire
warning and fire control devices).
+FC500IP module (Accessory Modules) should be
installed before mounting the Control panel as de-
scribed in the paragraph: FC500IP module Instal-
lation.
!Ensure that the Control panel power supply
(Mains and Batteries) has been disconnected
before installing any accessory Modules.

drilling.
+When using 12Ah batteries use mounting holes 19
to provide additional support.
+Use the Tubular spirit level (23) for leveling the Pa-
nel backplate.
!Check for water pipes and electrical wiring be-
fore drilling.
3. If necessary, remove the surface conduit wire
knockouts 2.
+The cable conduit union with the cabinet must be
secured by HB Flame Class (or higher) lock nuts.
4. Pull the channeled undertrack cables through the
cable entry 11 and 20 (for the power supply cable)
then, using the anchor screws locations, secure the
backplate to the wall.
+Use anchors 12, (for the power supply cable) and
21 to secure the cables through the cable ties.
