INTRODUCTION
CONTROL PANEL LIMITATIONS
This control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices
(smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, strobes, etc.) connected to it. Electrical
ratings of the initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings
of the control panel and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection
must be large enough to carry the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage
drop.
The control panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high
degree of reliability and adequate capacity for this control panel. The only means of
disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly
marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".
The control panel must also have connected to it a battery set (24V) that has enough capacity
to properly operate the system for the following conditions:
•24 hours standby and 5 minutes fire alarm in US
•24 hours standby and 4 minutes CO alarm and 12 hours extended CO alarm (at up to
60 s intervals) in US
•24 hours standby and 30 minutes alarm in Canada
These batteries do lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide
the control panel with the required standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever
happens first. These batteries must be checked for performance at least two (2) times a year
or more often if local requirements dictate.
Even though this control panel was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system,
any part could fail at any time. Therefore, a regular test program should be followed and
documented to make sure that each part of the system is tested as in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 or
more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or
repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel.
Note:
•This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices
connected to it detect specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life-
threatening condition. Also, evacuation of a building or area unnecessarily may subject
individuals to an unnecessary hazard. Therefore, it is most important that the building owner,
manager, or representative promulgate, distribute, and/or post instructions describing steps
to be taken when the fire alarm control panel signals an alarm condition. These instructions
should be developed in cooperation and conformance with representatives of the local
authority having jurisdiction.
As a precautionary measure, it is strongly suggested that one of these steps should be to
notify the local fire department of an abnormal condition even where the DACT option (or
similar device) is included in the system.

SLC ADDRESSABLE DEVICES
Smoke Detector
The control panel processor sends the sensitivity settings to the detectors and polls the
detectors for their status. The detector determines normal, trouble and alarm conditions and
communicates the conditions to the control panel.
Variable Thresholds - The detectors can be set to operate in various pre-programmed profiles,
depending on the environment where the detectors are used.
Operator Alerts - The control panel can indicate a trouble event automatically on the
occurrence of a number of conditions of the detector. The supported conditions include:
◼Channel Active
◼Un-configured Device
◼Device Type Mismatch
◼Device Communication Trouble
◼Address Invalid
◼Address Unspecified
◼Multiple Device Response
◼Parameter Error
◼Device Type Unknown
◼Fatal Fault
◼General Trouble
◼Dirty
◼Replace
Heat Detectors
Addressable heat sensing detectors may be intermixed on the circuit for locations where heat
sensing may be the most effective detection method. The heat detectors may be programmed
for rate of rise operation or fixed temperature.
Addressable Modules (Monitor and Control)
In addition to detectors, the circuit can communicate with addressable monitor and control
modules. Monitor modules allow remote contact closure initiating devices to generate event
conditions on the system. Control modules provide the system remote relay outputs or
notification appliance circuits
Manual Stations
Addressable manual stations may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response
programmed into the control panel.
Sounder Base
The ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S are the intelligent supervised audible based which provides 6
selectable tone patterns, 2 volume levels and 2 different power types for alarm.
The 6 tone patterns supported by the ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S are: Steady, Temporal 3,

the system configuration tool. When users need to disable the audible base, they will need to
select the “disable audible base” option.
When the audible base ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S is used with H series detectors, it can be
programmed to 1 output channel, and only 2 tone patterns (steady, temporal 3) can be
selected using the system configuration tool. When users need to disable the audible base,
they will need to select the “disable outputs” option.
When users need to disable the ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S audible bases connected to
the entire loop consisting of H series and Global ASA/FD182 detectors, they will need to
select both the “disable outputs” and “disable audible base” options.
There are two methods for powering the audible base during alarm. They are “Loop powered”
and “External powered” which can be configured using the system configuration tool. The
ABHW-4B can be powered by loop power and external power, the ABHW-4S can only be
powered by external power.
For additional information please refer to installation manual of ABHW-4B (A6V10405587) and
ABHW-4S (A6V10405588).
When using external power source, the power supply unit must be UL Listed for fire use
only, Power Limited and rated 19-28 VDC.
Audible signals are synchronized on zone basis.
Use sounder base in addition to panel NAC or PAD5 NAC when multiple alarm tones are
needed in one zone.
Programming SLC Devices
SLC devices can be assigned their electronic address and be tested by using the DPU Device
Programmer/ Loop Tester.
PAD-5
The Model PAD-5 Main board is an intelligent notification and auxiliary power expander that
provides up to 9 A @ 24 VDC (with FP2012-U1) or 6 A @ 24 VDC (with FP2011-U1).
The purpose of the PAD-5 main board is to provide remote power for notification devices, and
accessory modules, such as door holders.
A maximum of 7 PAD-5s, including expander board, can be connected to FC2005 at the same
time.
Up to 8 Class B, or 4 Class A NACs are supported by one PAD-5 device.
Optional modules
CDC for conventional detection circuit
CLSA for NAC circuits and releasing capability.
If there is a short on the activated PAD-5 releasing circuit, after the short is removed,
users need to restart the control panel to reactivate the releasing circuit. If the PAD-5
releasing circuit is not activated when the short happens, then there's no need to restart
the control panel to reactivate the releasing circuit.

EVENT HISTORY
The control panel includes a non-volatile memory recording 1000 system events. Identified
alarm, trouble, supervisory, status and other significant events will be recorded along with the
date and time of occurrence. The history event log can be viewed at the main system display
by operating menu controls from the panel. The history event log can also be transferred from
the panel to a computer using the FXS901-U2 system configuration tool.
Events recorded in the history are:
◼Alarm, trouble, supervisory and status conditions
◼Signal silence/un-silence (Manual)
◼System reset
◼User level login/logout
◼Start and stop of quick test
◼Expiration of quick test Timer
◼Trouble/supervisory reminder
◼Acknowledgment
◼Trouble/supervisory restored to normal

GENERAL DESIGN FEATURES
Environmental
The FC2005 panels and subassemblies are suitable for use in a dry, indoor or protected
location.
Power Limiting
The AC power connection, battery wiring and four system status relays are not power limited.
All other circuits leaving the control panel meet the requirements for power limited circuits
when installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local requirements.
Ground Fault Detection
The control panel provides system ground fault detection. Main board ground fault event is
annunciated as a trouble condition on the system. In addition, the addressable circuit and
serial interface circuit have their own ground detection circuitry and indicator.
System- NAC (+) Ground Fault Threshold <20 kΩ
System- NAC (-) Ground Fault Threshold <20 kΩ
System- Auxiliary Power (+) Ground Fault Threshold <5 kΩ
System- Auxiliary Power (-) Ground Fault Threshold <5 kΩ
System- City Tie (+) Ground Fault Threshold <5 kΩ
System- City Tie (-) Ground Fault Threshold <5 kΩ
SLC grounding detection threshold
SLC (+) –Ground <5 kΩ
SLC (-) –Ground <5 kΩ
NAC Operation
The notification appliance circuits are controlled by the system microprocessor in accordance
with the site-specific system configuration.
The notification appliance circuits can operate audible and visual notification appliances. Each
NAC can provide any of five software-generated codes or continuous operation to audible
notification appliances. Also, each NAC supports synchronization of visual notification
appliances.
Silence Inhibit - The control panel may be programmed to inhibit silence for up to four minutes
from the first alarm.
All of the NACs are power limited.
If PAD-5 is added to the system, the panel NAC and PAD-5 NAC will be
synchronized when the panel NAC is set as source and PAD-5 NAC is set as
follower.
Security Features
Multi-level password protection of programming functions prevents unauthorized configuration
changes.

Device type supervision: If the device type identifier reported by an addressable detector or
module does not agree with the configuration, the system reports a trouble condition.
Device address supervision: The system checks that all configured devices on the addressable
device circuit respond to an address poll. The system reports a trouble condition if the
following conditions are detected:
◼Configured device is missing.
◼Unconfigured device is installed.
◼Two devices are programmed with the same address.
◼Signaling line circuit experiences a wire-to-wire short.
◼Signaling line circuit experiences an earth ground condition.
