Connecting the power supply
The power circuits of this control panel comply with the
EN54-4 standard.
CAUTION
In order to comply with the safety
regulations in force, the mains must be
equipped with a bipolar isolating device for
protection against over voltage and short-
circuit to Earth. Example: automatic
isolating switch.
DANGER
C.I.E in overvoltage category II.
If C.I.E is subjected to transient voltages
that exceed those for its design overvoltage
category, it requires additional transient
voltage protection to be provided external
to the equipment.
Pollution degree: PD2
This control panel is powered from the Mains (230 V~
60/50 Hz) through a switching power supply, located inside
the case. The FC503 and FC506 control panels provide
housing for two 12 V, up to 17 Ah batteries inside the
panel or two 12 V, 38 Ah in an external metal box for
power during Mains failure. See Figure 16.
Notes
The battery must be a VRLA (valve regulated lead acid)
type.
The battery must comply with all applicable standards
indicated in paragraph M.2.1 of standard EN 62368-
1:2014 “Requirements (safety of batteries and their
elements)”; In this case, the battery must comply with
the standards: IEC 60896-21:2004 and IEC 60896-
22:2004.
A skilled professional must install and replace the
battery.
The battery must have an enclosure with flammability
class UL94V-1 or better.
The non-volatile memory holds the programmed data at all
times. In the event of MAINS failure, the AMBER Power
Supply LED turns ON.
The control panel checks the batteries at all times.
In the event of low battery, no Battery or any battery
related fault, the Battery Trouble LED turns ON.
If this occurs, the Mains power restores before the
batteries empty, otherwise the system shuts down.
Connecting the mains supply
CAUTION
Do not allow the power cable to cross over
other wiring. The power cable must be
routed and held firmly in place by a two
cable tie. See Figure 2.
Follow the below steps to connect the Mains Supply:
1. Locate the backup batteries in the cabinet. See
Figure 2. Secure the batteries to the panel of the
panel, using the cable ties, in the appropriate
opening.
2. Using the jumper supplied, connect the batteries
in series.
3. Observing the battery polarity, connect the
battery terminals to terminals -BAT+ on Main
Board. Wires are supplied.
4. FC503 and FC506 use 17 Ah or 38 Ah @ 12 V Power
Sonic batteries or similar.
5. Connect the switching power supply BAQ140T24 with
the external power supply (mains). Connect the Earth
wire to the terminal 7 on the main board. See Figure
4.
6. Connect the Neutral wire to terminal [N], and the Live
wire to terminal [L] on the terminal block 7. See Figure
4.
7. Connect the connector or cable 4 in Figure 4 to the
main board connector 9 in Figure 2. The control panel
resets on power up.
