FireClass Panels and Repeaters Introduction
Installation Guide Doc. version 2.0 4
1Introduction
Use this guide as a source of useful information when
installing a FireClass FC600 series alarm system.
The guide sets out a recommended series of steps to
follow.
Not all the steps are covered in detail, as this would be
beyond the scope of the guide, and these details are
provided in other documentation (see also “What this
manual does not cover”) below. Rather, the guide pro-
vides an overall sequence and context for the installa-
tion.
1.1 Keywords and symbols
In this manual symbols are used in the margin to indi-
cate warnings, and also ‘hints and tips’ type informa-
tion.
These are explained in Table 1.
1.2 Who this manual is for
This guide is aimed at suitably qualified technicians who
have received training and are experienced in the instal-
lation of fire detection and alarm systems.
1.3 What this manual does not
cover
The guide does not provide information on the follow-
ing:
System design.
The system must already be designed and planned
for the specific site, in terms of cable routing, device
selection and layout, mains supply etc.
For more information, see the FireClass FC600
Series Product Application and Design Information
guide. This includes details of optional modules that
can be fitted.
Local regulations.
For example cable specifications and panel siting
restrictions are expected to be covered by local
regulations. Because these factors need to be incor-
porated into the design, they are excluded from this
guide.
Local regulations are expected to cover, for
example:
– Wiring specifications
– Panel siting restrictions
– Provision for mains isolation
– Earthing arrangements
– Environmental conditions
– Qualifications of personnel.
For example there may be a stipulation that the
connections for the mains supply and protective
earth can only be made by a qualified electrician.
Installation of detector bases and ancillaries.
Refer to the respective installation (wiring) instruc-
tions.
Installation of optional modules.
These products have their own specific instructions;
however this guide does provide supplemental
information for installation in the FireClass FC600
series panel where necessary.
Procedures covered by another of the guides are
available for the FireClass FC600 fire panel range.
For example in the FireClass FC600 Panels Commis-
sioning Instructions, there are various tests to be
performed using operator functions as described in
the FireClass FC600 User Manual.

There is a section of installation notes in the FireClass
FC600 Panels Product Application and Design Informa-
tion guide. Check these for information possibly affect-
ing your installation, such as the arrangement of multi-
ple stacked cards.

4 FireClass FC600
series panels
The FireClass FC600 range consists of the following
panels:
FC602S.
This is a two loop FireClass panel with a shallow
housing. This panel can have two standard power
loops or one high power loop with a maximum of
250 addresses. It features a colour LCD display with
32 zonal LEDs. The panel has a compact housing and
a BAW75T24 PSU for 17AH batteries. The FC602S
is a networkable panel.
FC604S. This is a four loop FireClass panel with a
shallow housing. This panel can have four standard
power loops or two high power loops with a maxi-
mum of 500 addresses. It features a colour LCD dis-
play with 32 zonal LEDs. The panel has a designer
housing and BAQ140T24 PSU for 17AH batteries.
The FC604S is a networkable panel.
FC602S Scandinavian. This is a two loop FireClass
panel with a shallow housing. This panel can have
two standard power loops or one high power loop
with a maximum of 250 addresses. It features a col-
our LCD display with 32 zonal LEDs. The panel has a
compact housing with a fireman’s keyswitch and a
BAW75T24 PSU for 17AH batteries. The FC602S
Scandinavian is a networkable panel.
FC604S Scandinavian. This is a four loop FireClass
panel with a shallow housing. This panel can have
four standard power loops or two high power loops
with a maximum of 500 addresses. It features a col-
our LCD display with 32 zonal LEDs. The panel has a
compact housing with a fireman’s keyswitch and
DANGER
The FireClass Panel contains high
voltages, producing a danger of death or
serious injury while working on the
panel.
Note the dangerous voltage warning
sticker on the PSU.
Follow all steps and note all warnings in
this guide relating to electrical safety
and earthing.

BAQ140T24 PSU for 17AH batteries. The FC604S
Scandinavian is a networkable panel.
4.1 Optional mounting plate
The FC600 series panels are not supplied with a mount-
ing plate. Mounting plates are available to
purchase using part number 557.202.921. They can be
used with all panels except for DC Repeaters. See Fig-
ures 2 and 3.
4.2 Mounting a FC600 series
panel to the wall without a
mounting plate
For an overview of the panel, see Fig. 4. To mount a
FC600 series panel without the optional mounting plate,
complete these steps:
1 Decide on a wall mounting method (typically screws
into rawl plugs), and assess the required sizes of the
fastenings. Take into account the type of wall (solid
brick, wood and so on), and the weight of the assem-
bled control panel housing.
2 For the upper mounting holes, mark on the wall the
drill hole positions. Drill and plug the holes.
3 Insert screws to suspend the housing from the
upper holes. The housing may feature “keyholes” to
allow you to insert the screws into the bare wall,
then drop the housing onto the screws (rather than
screwing with the housing in position, through the
back wall.
4 Ensure the housing is horizontal. For the lower
mounting holes, mark on the wall the drill hole posi-
tions. Drill and plug the bottom fixing holes. Insert
screws to complete fixing the housing to the wall.
5 Check the housing is physically secure.
6 Remove any debris from the housing.
