Installing FC500 repeater
Repeaters can be wall mounted, or flush mounted to an
outlet box or similar.
Follow these steps when installing an FC500 Repeater.
See Figure 7.
1. Lay the connection cables. Refer to the section
Connecting Repeaters.
2. Remove the screws and open the repeater FC500.
See item 10.
3. If you are flush mounting the repeater, go to step
4. If you are wall mounting the repeater, drill the
anchor screw holes. See item 1.
4. Pull the wires through the wire entry, then using
the anchor screws, secure the repeater to the wall.
See item 8.
5. Complete the connections to the terminal board of
the RS485 Interface, as described in the
Connecting Repeaters section. See item 3.
6. Connect the earth wire to the threaded support on
the board, as shown in Figure 7. See item 5.
Description of the terminals
This section describes the control panel terminals.
FC503
Main loop 1
Loop 1 (sub loop 1)
 +LEFT: Positive signal
 - LEFT: Negative signal (return)
 +RIGHT: Positive signal
 - RIGHT: Negative signal (return)
 SH: Cable shield terminal.
Loop 2 (sub loop 2)
Loop 2 (sub loop 2) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Loop 3 (sub loop 3)
Loop 3 (sub loop 3) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Notes:
 The three sub loops of the panel can manage up to 250
addressable devices.
 The maximum current load for the three loops must not
exceed 1A.

Main loop 1
Loop 1 (sub loop 1)
 +LEFT: Positive signal
 - LEFT: Negative signal (return)
 +RIGHT: Positive signal
 - RIGHT: Negative signal (return)
 SH: Cable shield terminal.
Loop 2 (sub loop 2)
Loop 2 (sub loop 2) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Loop 3 (sub loop 3)
Loop 3 (sub loop 3) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Main loop 2
Loop 4 (sub loop 4)
Loop 4 (sub loop 4) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Loop 5 (sub loop 5)
Loop 5 (sub loop 5) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Loop 6 (sub loop 6)
Loop 6 (sub loop 6) terminals are the same as Loop 1 (sub
loop 1) terminals.
Notes:
 The six sub loops of the panel can manage up to 500,
maximum of 250 in a single main loop, addressable
devices.
 The total length of the cables connected to the three
loops must not exceed 2000 m.
 The maximum current load for the three sub loops must
not exceed 1A.
Telephone line
LE
Terminals for connecting the external telephone line.
LI
Terminals for connecting the internal telephone line.
Connect these terminals to other telephone devices that
need to share the same phone line as the fire panel.
There is also a terminal for connecting the earth wire.
Fire
[NC][NO][C]
The following features describe the [NC][NO][C] fire
output:
 This is a non-supervised fire output; a dry contact relay
for non-supervised devices.
 The fire output activates by default when the first fire
event occurs.
 Deactivation of the fire output occurs during the panel
reset.
 The fire output may be muted; see the default
programmable option=NOT silenceable.
 It is not possible to disable the fire output.
 The fire output may be programmed to work differently,
