• dc3500 re control panel (FCP dc3500) with software version 3.3.2 or higher

• Programming laptop with the current version of Detectomat Programming Tool (dpt 11.3 or higher) software installed

• 1x USB programming cable (USB male micro-connector to USB A male connector, item no. 54432) for connecting the

programming laptop and dc3500 re control panel

• Mounting material

Preparing the FCP dc3500:

1. Install the Moxa PoE injector on the top-hat rail.

2. Connect the 24V 2-wire cable (item no. 56448) to the Moxa PoE injector. Connect the other end of the cable to the CP

3500 PSA power supply adapter.

3. Connect the Ethernet UTP patch cable (item no. 56446) to the Moxa PoE injector (Input). Connect the other end of the

patch cable to the CP 3500 EPC embedded PC.

4. Connect the at Ethernet UTP patch cable (item no. 56445) to the Moxa PoE injector (Output). Connect the other end

of the at Ethernet UTP patch cable to the Ethernet socket (RJ45) of the installation cable (not included in the scope of

delivery).

Observe the supplied connection diagram (item number 56488).

Installing the RCP 3500 PoE housing (item number 33029):

Only install the RCP 3500 PoE in clean, dry indoor areas.

1. Mount the support plate for the RCP 3500 PoE on a at wall or mounting surface. Select a mounting surface with suf-

cient load-bearing capacity.

Do you have a question about the detectomat RCP 3500 and is the answer not in the manual?

The document describes the quick-start guide for the RCP 3500 PoE (Remote Control Panel) on an FCP dc3500 (Fire Control Panel). The RCP 3500 PoE is an additional component designed to extend the functionality of the FCP dc3500 system, likely providing remote control and display capabilities for fire detection systems.

Function Description

The RCP 3500 PoE serves as a remote control and display panel for the FCP dc3500 fire control panel. It allows for remote operation and monitoring of the fire detection system. The device is powered over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the remote panel location. It integrates with the FCP dc3500 system through an Ethernet connection, enabling communication and control. The system is configured using the Detectomat Programming Tool (dpt), which allows for the addition of the remote control and display panel to existing control panel programming. Once commissioned, the FCP dc3500, with the RCP 3500 PoE integrated, transitions to operational readiness, providing a comprehensive fire detection and control solution.

Usage Features

Remote Control and Display: Provides remote control and display capabilities for the FCP dc3500, allowing users to monitor and manage the fire detection system from a different location.
PoE Simplification: Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality simplifies installation by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, reducing wiring complexity and costs.
Integrated System: Seamlessly integrates with the FCP dc3500 fire control panel, extending its reach and operational flexibility.
Software Configuration: Configured using the Detectomat Programming Tool (dpt), which allows for easy setup and integration into existing fire control panel programming.
Robust Connectivity: Utilizes standard Ethernet cabling for reliable communication, with specific cable length restrictions to ensure optimal performance.
Mounting Flexibility: Designed for mounting on a flat wall or mounting surface, requiring a surface with sufficient load-bearing capacity. The housing is secured to a support plate using a fixing screw.
Clear Installation Steps: The quick-start guide provides a step-by-step process for preparing the FCP dc3500, installing the RCP 3500 PoE housing, and commissioning the system.
Diagnostic Information: The dpt tool allows for system commissioning and diagnostics, ensuring proper functionality.

Maintenance Features

The document primarily focuses on installation and commissioning rather than ongoing maintenance. However, some aspects can be inferred:

Software Updates: The FCP dc3500 requires software version 3.3.2 or higher, implying that software updates for the FCP may be necessary to maintain compatibility and optimal performance with the RCP 3500 PoE.
Programming Tool: The Detectomat Programming Tool (dpt) is used for initial configuration and can likely be used for re-configuration or troubleshooting if system parameters need to be adjusted.
Cable Integrity: The specified cable length restrictions and the prohibition of switches/hubs suggest that maintaining the integrity of the Ethernet cabling is crucial for reliable operation. Regular inspection of cables for damage or wear might be part of a maintenance routine.
Environmental Conditions: The requirement for installation in clean, dry indoor areas implies that protecting the device from harsh environmental conditions (e.g., moisture, dust) is a key aspect of its long-term maintenance and reliability.
Component Replacement: The detailed list of item numbers for various components (cables, injector, power supply) suggests that individual parts can be identified and potentially replaced if they fail, facilitating repair.
Operational Manual Reference: The guide refers to the operation manual (item number 54348) for further instructions on configuring the FCP dc3500, which would likely contain more detailed maintenance procedures and troubleshooting guides.
