FC421CP-I Outdoor Weatherproof Resettable
Callpoint
Introduction
The FC421CP-I Weatherproof Addressable
Resettable Callpoint is an outdoor manual call-
point.
The callpoint is designed to monitor and signal
the condition of a switch contact that is operated
by activating the resettable element.
The FC421CP-I is fitted onto a standard KAC
weatherproof backbox, which is supplied with
the callpoint.
The FC421CP-I has an integral short-circuit isola-
tor for monitoring the field wiring.
The FC421CP-I callpoint meets the requirements
of EN54 Pt. 11 and EN54 Pt. 17.

standards,
6 Couplers are to be used with MICC cable.
Earthing
An Earth Continuity Terminal is situated in the
rear of the backbox. This is designed to accom-
modate 2 conductors of up to 2.5 mm2.
An earthing plate is provided for continuity of
metal conduits. This must be placed behind the
backbox prior to fixing the box to the wall.
If the earthing plate is fitted, fit the 3 spare wash-
ers (supplied with each call point) between the
metal earth continuity strap and the call point
backbox.
Wiring Notes
There are no user-required settings (such as
switches or headers) on the FC421CP-I.
All wiring must comply with local installation
regulations and local fire system design
requirements.
All conductors to be free of earths. For typical
wiring configuration see Fig 2.
Spare Washers
Use only the supplied spare washer(s)
to fit the respective cable gland(s) or
hole stopper(s).
CAUTION
Ensure that the backbox’s cable entry
holes are not expanded to
accommodate cable glands wider than
20 mm in diameter. It must not be
subjected to stress by the cable or
conduit.
Ensure that all the cable entries and
unused entry points are securely sealed
against water and moisture ingress.
Sealant
It is recommended to use Loctite 5331
as sealant.
NOTICE
Ensure that the gasket is correctly
seated in the channel on the rear of the
cover. The gasket should be replaced if
damaged.
