Box contents
The control panel is contained in a box. See the
contents below:
•A sheet metal cabinet and plastic door with an
assembled motherboard and power supply switching.
•The Quick-Start Setup Guide.
•A transparent plastic bag containing a USB consisting
of installation manuals, user manuals, and the FireClass
software console to manage the panel, the KST thermal
probe, two 3.9 kOhm resistors, a 320 mm red and a
black cable with a faston terminal to connect batteries
with main board, and a 320 mm black cable with two
faston terminals to connect batteries.
Proceed carefully to unpack the contents and dispose
of recyclable materials in accordance with local laws.
Cable requirements
All cables should be specified and installed to meet the
requirements of local laws. See Figure: 1 for a typical
system layout.
Cable types
For specific details on the cable types, and how they
should be run, refer to local practices and regulation.
Earthing
The addressable loop conductors must be isolated
from the earth. Any current leakage to the earth is
indicated as a fault.
Screening
If a cable with a conductive screen or a metal sheath is
used, do not connect it to the addressable loop
conductors. Join the screens from each section of the
cable within each loop device to form a continuous
cable screen.
Cable routing
Ensure cables are routed to minimize coupling effects.
Avoid grouping power and signal cables together in the
same conduit or trunking. Feed the mains supply into
the cabinet through its own dedicated knockout.
RS485 networking
Use copper cabling for the network. The maximum
distance between nodes is 1000 m using a shielded
twisted pair cable. Use shielded cables only, with one
end of the shield connected to the control panel
negative terminal and one end of the shield left free.
The continuity between several segments of
connection must be secured.
Mains supply
Do not allow the power cable to cross over other
wiring. The power cable must be routed and held firmly
in place by a two cable tie. The mains supply final
circuits to all parts of the fire alarm system should be
dedicated solely to the fire alarm system, and should
serve no other systems or equipment.
To facilitate local isolation during maintenance,
suitable means should be provided for double pole
isolation of the low voltage supply circuit that serves
the power supply and control equipment.
The power circuits of this control panel comply with the
EN54-4 standard.
CAUTION
In order to comply with the safety
regulations in force, the mains must be
equipped with a bipolar isolating device
for protection against over voltage and
short-circuit to earth.
The control panel is powered from the mains (230 V~
60/50 Hz -15/+10%) and provides housing for a 5.5 A
switching power supply (BAQ140T24).

Pre-commissioning checks
Create temporary connections to test the wiring for
continuity and insulation.
Complete the following steps for pre-commissioning
checks:
1. Run the loop wiring around the building and
wire up the detector bases according to the
system plan or design.
2. Run any other wiring required for ancillary
modules.
3. Label the “+” and “-” conductors and connect
them to the corresponding terminals of the
detector bases.
Where screened cables have been used and
no earth connections are provided at the
device, join the loop screen connections
together using terminal block connector to
maintain the integrity of the loop earth.
CAUTION
Do not wire in any isolator bases and
modules or fit the detectors until pre-
commissioning checks are complete. The
items will be damaged by any high
voltage insulation checks performed. Use
terminal block connectors for any
temporary connections to preserve
continuity. Details for wiring individual
devices are provided with the items.
Do not make the final connections at the
control panel. Testing the wiring requires
access to the free ends of the wires.
4. Pull the cables through the appropriate
knockouts of the control panel. Use glands as
appropriate and leave generous free ends of
the wires.
5. Connect the loop free ends of the wire to a
terminal block connector. Place loosely in the
cabinet to avoid accidental connection to the

9
panel before pre-commissioning checks are
complete.
6. If any conventional sounder circuits are
running, check that all devices have the
correct polarity, that the correct polarity is
maintained, and that the 3.9 Kohm end of the
line resistor has been fitted within the last
device of the circuit.
WARNING
Danger of damage to equipment:
Before using a high-voltage insulation
tester, ensure that no devices liable to
be damaged are fitted to the circuit.
This includes isolator bases and
ancillary modules.
Notes:
Ensure that the insulation check, the cabling
resistance check, and all other necessary
checks comply with current local laws.
Ensure that the mains earth is connected to
the safety earth bar located in the upper part of
the panel cabinet.
Installing the batteries
WARNING
The standby batteries can deliver high
current presenting danger of injury and
equipment damage while working on
the panel. Take care not to accidentally
short the battery terminals.
The suitable batteries for the FC503 and FC506
control panels are two 12 V/17 Ah or two 12 V/ 38 Ah
batteries. The control panel can be connected to the
12 V/38 Ah batteries in an external metal box for
power in the event of a mains failure.
Complete the following steps to install the batteries:
1. Locate the 12 V/17 Ah backup batteries at the
bottom of the panel cabinet and secure them
to the panel cabinet with the battery clamp.
2. Connect the batteries in series with the
supplied 320 mm black battery cable.
3. Connect the battery terminals to terminals –
BAT+ on the main board. Observe the battery
polarity.
4. Connect the KST thermal probe to the
dedicated connector on the switching power
supply. Attach the probe to one of the batteries
to obtain optimum heat transfer. The KST
thermal probe optimizes the battery charging
process by regulating the charge voltage in
accordance with the battery temperature.
Commissioning
Commissioning includes configuring and testing the
system. A fully comprehensive test procedure cannot
be provided because the testing must be in
accordance with local regulations and practice and
sites differ in terms of the system design. Tests must
be individually planned to suit the specific site

executes the enrolling of already addressed
devices and enters the auto-addressing phase.
6. Press the ENTER key to activate the auto-
addressing phase or ESC key to exit.
By default, any addressable device has the address
255. The fire panel examines the serial number of
each device and assigns each an address from 1 to
250.
If the control panel finds a device with a different
address than the default, it leaves the address set at
that device.

11
The control panel is ready to work, at this time, with
the default basic programming.
If you want to set the system addresses differently,
proceed as follows:
1. Press the ENTER key, so the fire panel
initiates the MAPPING DEVICES phase.
2. Activate all of the input devices in sequence.

first activated device. Select the device. When
the device is selected, the address will blink. If
necessary, change the address. Press ENTER
to confirm and the address will be fixed. To
switch to the programming phase of the
device, press the ENTER key again.
Note: Unique in the time field indicates that it
is the only device of its type on the loop. For
example, if only one FC410DDM module is
used in the system, it is tagged as Unique and
it is not necessary to activate it because you
know where it is.
5. Examine the sounders, the beacons, and the
output devices. Locate the devices by
scanning the list of auto-addressed devices.
When you reach an output-only device, it
becomes active. Activation is signaled by a
sounder starting to sound, a beacon starting to
flash, or an output module illuminating its LED.
The device will remain active until a new
device is selected or a permanent address is
entered.
Note: Active in the time field indicates that the
relevant device is active. Active is only
applicable to output device types such as
sounders or beacons.
Auto-addressing notes:
The enroll process does not take place until all the
loop wiring issues have been resolved.
Use the auto-addressing procedure when there
are NG1 devices on the loop or it has no effect.
The device mapping process does not take place
until all of the double address faults have been
removed.
FC506 supports 500 devices and has two logical
loops which each support 1 to 250 devices.
Complete auto-addressing for logical loop1 before
proceeding with auto-addressing for logical loop2.
