FDU-80 Instruction Manual — P/N 51264:C2 4/24/2019 7
Section 2: The FDU-80 Annunciator
The FDU-80 Annunciator is a compact, 80-character, backlit LCD fire annunciator designed for use with compatible FACPs (Fire Alarm
Control Panels). The FDU-80 Annunciator display will mimic the FACP display.
The FDU-80 is capable of displaying English-language text of system point status including device type, independent point alarm, trou-
ble or supervisory, zone and custom alpha labels programmed into the control panel. The FDU-80 also provides system status LEDs to
display Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory and Alarm Silenced conditions. The FDU-80 is capable of performing system acknowledge,
silence, drill and reset remotely.
Communication between the FACP and the FDU-80 is accomplished over a two-wire serial interface employing the EIA-485 communi-
cation standard. Up to 32 annunciators may be connected to the two-wire EIA-485 circuit. The annunciators may be powered from the
host FACP or remote UL listed, filtered, power supplies.
