FCP-500 Series
4. Maintenance and Service
D Trained personnel should perform a visual and physical test according Table 6 as recommended by
NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
D For cleaning the detector surface, use a common window cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.
i
Notify all concerned parties before any maintenance or testing of the fire alarm sy-
stem, and after completion of these activities.
Note:
D The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P must be replaced every five years. The chemical (CO) sensor turns off
at five years of operation. The LED double-flashes every 8 to 12 sec, indicating trouble, and the detector
continues to function as an optical (O) detector .

Table 7: LED Operation
Status LED
Normal green, flashes every 8 sec
Alarm red, steady
Trouble green, double flash every 8 to12 sec
Test mode green, flashes once every second
5. Dry Reed Contact
1. Place the test tool with the F AA-500-TTL test adap-
ter with magnet up against the det ector head.
2. Turn the test tool until the magnet activat es the
dry reed contact (see Fig. 9.). Normally the green
LED flashes once every 8 to 12 sec. When the dry
reed contact activates, the LED flashes once every
second.
6. Electronic Functional Test
1. Activate the dry reed contact (Section 5, Dry Reed
Contact).
2. L eave the magnet on the test tool by the dry reed
contact for 10 sec. Count 10 flashes of the LED.
The de tector activates a test alarm and the LED
turns red.
