panel before pre-commissioning checks are
complete.
6. If any conventional sounder circuits are
running, check that all devices have the
correct polarity, that the correct polarity is
maintained, and that the 3.9 Kohm end of the
line resistor has been fitted within the last
device of the circuit.
WARNING
Danger of damage to equipment:
Before using a high-voltage insulation
tester, ensure that no devices liable to
be damaged are fitted to the circuit.
This includes isolator bases and
ancillary modules.
Notes:
Ensure that the insulation check, the cabling
resistance check, and all other necessary
checks comply with current local laws.
Ensure that the mains earth is connected to
the safety earth bar located in the upper part of
the panel cabinet.
Installing the batteries
WARNING
The standby batteries can deliver high
current presenting danger of injury and
equipment damage while working on
the panel. Take care not to accidentally
short the battery terminals.
The suitable batteries for the FC503 and FC506
control panels are two 12 V/17 Ah or two 12 V/ 38 Ah
batteries. The control panel can be connected to the
12 V/38 Ah batteries in an external metal box for
power in the event of a mains failure.
Complete the following steps to install the batteries:
1. Locate the 12 V/17 Ah backup batteries at the
bottom of the panel cabinet and secure them
to the panel cabinet with the battery clamp.
2. Connect the batteries in series with the
supplied 320 mm black battery cable.
3. Connect the battery terminals to terminals –
BAT+ on the main board. Observe the battery
polarity.
4. Connect the KST thermal probe to the
dedicated connector on the switching power
supply. Attach the probe to one of the batteries
to obtain optimum heat transfer. The KST
thermal probe optimizes the battery charging
process by regulating the charge voltage in
accordance with the battery temperature.
Commissioning
Commissioning includes configuring and testing the
system. A fully comprehensive test procedure cannot
be provided because the testing must be in
accordance with local regulations and practice and
sites differ in terms of the system design. Tests must
be individually planned to suit the specific site
requirements. Instead of a comprehensive test
procedure, this section provides guidelines in the form
of an example procedure.
For details of the control panel operator functions, refer
to the FC503 & FC506 Addressable Fire Control
Panels User Manual.
Panel Checks
Complete the following steps to make the panel
checks:
1. Power on the control panel.
If there are panel faults, the internal buzzer will
sound. To temporarily silence the buzzer, press
the SILENCE BUZZER key. Press the ESC key
on the user interface to return to the main menu.
To silence the buzzer for the duration of the
installation, engage the control panel at access
level 3 and remove the Jumper J5.
When the buzzer is disabled, the control panel
user interface zonal LEDs flash and the time, date,
and BUZZER OFF are displayed alternatively. The
timeout for the installer access is not changed as a
result of this procedure.
To reactivate the buzzer, replace the Jumper J5
when the installation process is complete.
2. Using the LAMP TEST key, check that the
LEDs and buzzers function properly. If the
control panel is functioning as intended, all
LEDS will be on and the buzzer emits a
continuous beep.
3. Check the brightness and contrast of the LCD
display. The keys have the following functions:
Up key: increases the brightness of the
LCD display.
Down key: decreases the brightness of
the LCD display.
