2.2 Safety regulations for the method of operation
National standards, regulations and legislation
Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant
European and international safety standards. Should additional national or local
safety standards or legislation concerning the planning, assembly, installation,
operation or disposal of the product apply at the place of operation, then these
must also be taken into account together with the safety regulations in the product
documentation.
Electrical installations
WARNING
Electrical voltage
Electric shock
zWork on electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified
electricians or by instructed persons working under the guidance and
supervision of a qualified electrician, in accordance with the electrotechnical
regulations.
zWherever possible disconnect products from the power supply when carrying
out commissioning, maintenance or repair work on them.
zLock volt-free areas to prevent them being switched back on again by mistake.
zLabel the connection terminals with external external voltage using a
'DANGER External voltage' sign.
zRoute mains connections to products separately and fuse them with their own,
clearly marked fuse.
zFit an easily accessible disconnecting device in accordance with IEC 60950-1
outside of installation.
zProduce earthing as stated in local safety regulations.
Assembly, installation, commissioning and maintenance
zIf you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
zWhen starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
zEnsure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
zYou 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
zPrevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
zIf testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
zThe 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.
zInform people before testing the alarming control devices and allow for possible
panic responses.
zInform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
zBefore testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.
Modifications to the system layout and 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.
Components and spare parts
zComponents and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by
Siemens.
zOnly use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.
zWrong 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.
zBatteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.
Disregard of the safety regulations
Before they are delivered, Siemens products are tested to ensure they function
correctly when used properly. Siemens disclaims all liability for damage or injuries
caused by the incorrect application of the instructions or the disregard of danger
warnings contained in the documentation. This applies in particular to the following
damage:
zPersonal injuries or damage to property caused by improper use and incorrect
application
zPersonal injuries or damage to property caused by disregarding safety
instructions in the documentation or on the product
zPersonal injury or damage to property caused by poor maintenance or lack of
maintenance

3.3 Function
The FDCL221 line separator is an electronic switch which is inserted in the
FDnet/C-NET.
The function of the line separator in the FDnet/C-NET loop is to connect sub-stub
lines to the FDnet/C-NET and selectively disconnect them in the event of a short-
circuit. In the event of a short-circuit in the FDnet/C-NET, the line separator
disconnects the negative conductor such that the side not affected by the short-
circuit can continue to be operated.
The FDCL221 line separator has 2 x 2 screw terminals for the FDnet/C-NET.
The status of the line separator is indicated by a yellow LED. The LED flashes if
the line separator is open or in localization mode.
The line separator is installed in the intermediate distributor or directly in the fire
control panel.

4Planning
Unique detector line topology recognition is ensured if at least one device with a
separating function is present between two sub-stub lines. In this case a line
separator.
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.
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).

4.1 Compatibility
Compatible with all control panels that support the FDnet/C-NET detector line.
For details see 'List of compatibility'.
Mixed operation with other devices on the same detector line is possible without
restrictions.
4.2 Fields of application
The line separator is required in a FDnet/C-NET, where several sub-stub lines
converge at one point. This situation mainly occurs when changing from the old
collective systems to the addressed FDnet/C-NET system.

Building Technologies 007063_e_en_--
Fire Safety & Security Products 09.06.2009
4.3 Positioning
When renewing collective systems, the line separators are installed at points where
several stub lines converge.
The line separator can usually be housed in an intermediate distributor on different
floors.
If all the stub lines are routed individually to the collective control panel, the line
separator is directly installed in the new fire control panel.
4.4 Environmental influences
If the devices are used in industrial applications, consultation with the project
manager is required, since plastics do not withstand certain environmental
conditions.
The following factors must be taken into consideration:
zChemicals
zTemperature
zMoisture
The housing is made from plastic and the printed circuit board is sealed with wax
for increased corrosion protection.

5Mounting / Installation
5.1 Assembly
The line separator may be fitted in any position. Ensure that the line separator LED
is visible after installation.
You can fit the FDCL221 line separator in various ways:
zUsing a top hat rail TS35
zUsing the fastening hole
Installation on top hat rail TS35

Line separator installation on a top hat rail
1 Pair of terminal blocks
zAttach the line separator to the top hat rail.
If you are fitting several line separators onto the top hat rail at the same time, we
would recommend using a pair of terminal blocks (at least 3 sets) after each line
separator. This results in a clear and space-saving form of installation.
The terminal blocks must be ordered by the party responsible for installation.
