CAUTION
Noncompliance with the following safety regulations
Risk of injury to persons and damage to property
●
Compliance with the following regulations is required.
●Specialist electrical engineering knowledge is required for installation.
●Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work.
Incorrect installation can take safety devices out of operation unbeknown to a
layperson.
Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance
●If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
●When starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
●Ensure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
●You may only set controls to normal function when the product operability has
been completely tested and the system has been handed over to the customer.
Testing the product operability
●Prevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
●If testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
●The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause
injury to anyone or damage to the building installations. The following
instructions must be observed:
– Use the correct potential for activation; this is generally the potential of the
building installation.
– Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
●Inform people before testing the alarm devices and allow for possible panic
responses.
●Inform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
●Before testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.
Modifications to the system design and the products
Modifications to the system and to individual products may lead to faults,
malfunctioning and safety risks. Written confirmation must be obtained from
Siemens and the corresponding safety bodies for modifications or additions.
Modules and spare parts
●Components and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by
Siemens.
●Only use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.
●Wrong battery types and improper battery changing lead to a risk of explosion.
Only use the same battery type or an equivalent battery type recommended by
Siemens.
●Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.

3 Structure and function
3.1 Overview
Figure 1: Line separator FDCL221
The line separator FDCL221 is an electronic switch which is mounted on a
FDnet/C-NET detector line.
The line separator detects short-circuits and open lines on the detector line and
disconnects the negative conductor in the event of a short-circuit. The area of the
detector line unaffected by the short-circuit can continue to be operated.
The line separator FDCL221 has 2x 2 screw terminals for the FDnet/C-NET.
The status of the line separator is indicated by a yellow LED. The LED flashes
under the following conditions:
●Line separator is open after detecting a short-circuit or an open line
●Line separator is in localization mode
Properties
●Compatible with fire detection system FS20/FS720 and FC360
●Communication via the detector line
●Individual addressing of line separators for easy location identification
●Safeguards the FDnet/C-NET against short-circuits when sub-stubs are
connected
●Status indicator (LED) for the line separator
●Different types of mounting
●Maintenance-free
Applications
●If multiple sub-stubs are to be connected to a single point on the FDnet/C-NET
detector line, either another FDnet/C-NET device or a line separator FDCL221
must be mounted between the sub-stubs.
●Modernization of collective detector lines on the addressed FDnet/C-NET
system.
You will find information on permissible topologies in fire detection systems
FS20/FS720 in the 008843 (for 'Sinteso') and A6V10210362 (for 'Cerberus PRO')
documents in the 'Line separation function' chapter.

3.3 Function
The line separator FDCL221 is an electronic switch which is mounted on a
FDnet/C-NET detector line.
Figure 3: Use of a line separator FDCL221 on a FDnet/C-NET detector line
The line separator detects short-circuits and open lines on the detector line and
disconnects the negative conductor in the event of a short-circuit. The area of the
detector line unaffected by the short-circuit can continue to be operated.
3.3.1 Behaviour in degraded mode
Applicable for the FDnet/C-NET:
When the main processor of the fire control panel fails, the control panel works in
degraded mode operation. Depending on the control panel type, the fire control
panel can continue to perform the most important alarming and signaling functions
in degraded mode operation.
Degraded mode operation on the FDnet/C-NET is not supported in the same way
by all control panels. The information in the 'List of compatibility' and in the
corresponding control panel documentation must be taken into account during
project planning.

4 Planning
Unique detector line topology recognition is only ensured if at least one device with
a separating function is present between two sub-stub lines. In this case a line
separator.
Figure 4: Line separator FDCL221 between two sub-stubs
If several sub-stub lines are to be activated on one FDnet/C-NET loop, failure of
large numbers of devices must be prevented in the event of a line short-circuit. In
this regard the national regulations must be observed.
From a FDnet/C-NET communication point of view, the line separator is a normal
line participant which occupies one bus address and is visible in the line topology.

Rules for the branching of a sub-stub from a loop
●Only one sub-stub is permitted between two FDnet/C-NET devices.
●One sub-stub is permitted at the start and end of the loop respectively,
between the connection terminals of the fire control panel and the first line
device.
●If there is more than one stub between two FDnet/C-NET devices, a line
separator must be fitted between the stubs.
The following figures show the common variants of a modernized detector line on
which the FDnet/C-NET devices (T) are installed with integrated line separation
function. The outgoing stub lines A to D are connected to the FDCL221 line
separators via terminal blocks or micro terminals (X).
