Power Supply
The power supply system of the FC500 Control panels
complies with EN54-4.
All models are powered by the Mains (110/230 V~,
60/50 Hz):
Ø
the FC510 model has Switching Power Supply which
supplies up to 5.5 A at 27.6 V;
Ø
the FC520 model has Switching Power Supply which
supplies up to 5.5 A at 27.6 V;
All models can house two 12 V batteries which, when
connected in series, will supply 24 V to the Control pa
-
nel and peripherals in the event of black-out, and will
also provide any pickup currents which exceed the ma-
ximum current supplied by the Switching Power Supply.
The FC510 and FC520 model can house two 12V 17 Ah
batteries (YUASA NP 17-12 FR model or similar — flame
class UL94-V2 or higher).
+
If necessary, (Full configured Loop or for particular
requirements of the system) FC510 or FC520 con-
trol panel model can be connected to two 12V
38 Ah batteries in an external metal box (see Figu
-
re 16).
This Control panel can detect, signal and store in memory
the following power faults: shorted 24V or 24R outputs;
Low battery, Battery fault or Battery disconnected (Low
Battery LED and No Battery LED), Ground fault (Earth
LED) and Mains failure (Mains LED).
+
The “No Battery or Low Battery” fault may be si
-
gnalled with a delay up to 1 minute. The “Mains”
(Amber) fault will be signalled when the program
-
med delay expires.
