1 Introduction The Fire Sentry FSCHCOM-SS4
module is a piggy-back device that
allows SS4-series flame detectors
to communicate with a HART
Network Master. The HART module
may be considered to be a protocol
converter. The flame detector itself
communicates to external devices
with the FireBus-I proprietary
protocol. This HART module obtains
alarm and fault status using FireBus-
I, and then upon receiving a HART
command will respond to the HART
master by returning the necessary
information.Communication with the master requires that the request that
matches the short address (assigned by the rotary switch) or long address (a
combination of device type and serial number).
Pin #2 and Pin #3 of J102 of this module are used for HART communication.
Current-loop 4-20 ma is sourced from Pin #2 when switches at S100 are ON, and
ground is the current-return point. See below for connection details.
2 4-20 ma of SS4
This FSCHCOM-SS4 is providing 4-20ma analog value as well as HART protocol
simultaneously. In single drop configuration (I=One master to One Device) the
analog 4-20ma provide the following information.
0 ma : PCB fault, Voltage fault, temperature fault, relay fault.
2 ma : Optical Self Test fail & Lid Off fault.
4 ma : Normal.
20 ma : Alarm.

3 Supported HART Commands
The SS4-A HART module supports the commands enumerated below.
3.1 Command 0
Use command 0 to read Unique Identifier.
Response to command 0:
Manufacturer ID: Hex 6042 String FSCHCOM
Product ID: Hex E180
Polling address is assigned by rotary switch RSW100 ( 0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
A, B, C, D, E, F).
Placing RSW100 to position 1,2,3.. to F, you are putting the devices in hardware
address mode. Hardware address will over-ride software address.
Placing RSW100 to position 0, you are putting the devices in software addressing
mode.
You can use command 6 to write polling address to the FSCHCOM module.
Once software polling address is written into the FSCHCOM, the address is
saved into flash memory until over written by next command 6.
Byte Format Description
0 Unsigned 8 Must be Decimal 254 (Hex FE)
1 to 2 Code Device Type Hex E1 80
3 Unsigned 8 Minimum number of preambles byte from master= 5
4 Unsigned 8 HART Major Revision = 7
5 Unsigned 8 Device Revision Level = 0
6 Unsigned 8 Software Revision = 1
7 Unsigned 8 Bit 7,6,5,4,3 Hard ware revision = 0x10
Bit 2,1,0 physical signal code 0x01
8 Unsigned 8 Flag = 0. N/A
9 to 11 Unsigned
24 Device ID unique from manufacturer
12 Unsigned 8 Minimum number of preambles byte to master = 5
13 Unsigned 8 Maximum number of device variable = 4
14 to 15 Unsigned
16 Configuration Change Counter = 0. No user configurtion

Page 6 of 14
16 Unsigned 8 Device status
17 to 18 Unsigned
16 Manufacturer ID code = Hex 60 42
3.2 Command 1
Use command 1 to read the Primary Variable.
Response to command 1:
Alarm and Device status is save into the Primary Variable (Unit in ma), where :
.
Byte Format Description
0 Code Unit code in ma
1 to 4 Float 0 ma : PCB fault, Voltage fault, temperature fault, relay
fault.
2 ma : Optical Self Test fail & Lid Off fault.
4 ma : Normal.
20 ma : Alarm
3.3 Command 2
Use command 2 to read Loop current (ignore percent range).
Response to command 2:
The loop current always matches the current that can be measured by milli-
ammeter in series with the device. This includes the loop current under alarm
conditions. SS4 flame sensors does not have percent value, therefore please
ignore the percent output of this response.
Byte Format Description
0 to 3 Float Loop Current in milli-ampere
0 ma : PCB fault, Voltage fault, temperature fault, relay
fault.
2 ma : Optical Self Test fail & Lid Off fault.
4 ma : Normal.
20 ma : Alarm
4 to 7 Float % reading.
0ma = 0%

Page 7 of 14
2ma = 10%
4ma = 20%
20ma = 100%
3.4 Command 3
Use command 3 to read dynamic variable and loop current.
Response to command 3:
Byte Format Description
0 to 3 Float Primary Variable Loop current (Unit in milli-ampere)
0 ma : PCB fault, Voltage fault, temperature fault,
relay fault.
2 ma : Optical Self Test fail & Lid Off fault.
4 ma : Normal.
20 ma : Alarm
4 Code Unit code for ma . Variable 1
5 to 8 Float Variable 1. Voltage Fault
4 ma : Normal
20ma :Voltage Fault (either too low or too high)
9 Code Unit code for ma. Variable 2
10 to 13 Float Variable 2. Temperature Fault
4 ma : Normal
20ma : Temperature too high.
14 Code Unit code for ma. Variable 3
15 to 18 Float Variable 3. Self test and lid off
4 ma :Normal
20ma :Self Test Fail (window dirty) and/or Lid is off.
19 Code Unit code for ma. Variable 4
20 to 23 Float Variable 4. Communication between FSCHCOM
module and the SS4 flame detector.
4 ma : Normal.
20ma : Temperature too high.

3.5 Command 6
Use command 6 to write the polling address and loop current mode to the field
device.
Every HART device must have a polling address.
Response to command 6:
Byte Format Description
0 Unsigned 8 Polling address
1 Code 0 = loop current off, 1 loop current on.
Loop current of this FSCHCOM is enable/disable by
hardware dip switches S1. Regardless of the S1 position
this byte is always 0. Please make sure you have set the
S1 accordingly.
Once command 6 is received by the SS4HCOM module, the assigned polling
address (decimal 0 to 15, Hex 0 to 0x0f), the SS4HCOM will save the newly
assigned short address to flash memory, and use the newly assigned short
address until power off.
Upon power on the SS4HCOM module will first read the rotary switch RSW1. If
the RSW1 is in position 0, the SS4HCOM will read back the saved short address.
If the RSW1 is in position other than 0 (I,e. 1,2,3,4,5…A,B,C,D,E,F), the position
number will be used as short address.
3.6 Command 7
Use command 7 to read the polling address and loop current mode.
Response to command 7:
Byte Format Description
0 Unsigned 8 Polling address
1 Code 0 = loop current off, 1 loop current on.
Loop current of this FSCHCOM is enable/disable by
hardware dip switches S1. Regardless of the S1 position
this byte is always 0. Please make sure you have set the
S1 accordingly.
