CHAPTER 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The FC186x series controllers have three kinds:
- FC1861 controller with 2 line card, max. 504 points
- FC1862 controller with 4 line card, max. 1008 points
- FC1863 controller with 6 line card, max. 1512 points
1. FEATURES
- Fulfill Chinese Standard of GB4717-2005 and GB16806-2006.
- Multi-language operation menu with windows style, easy and fast operation.
- Shortcut key (right key) for popping out operation items of device/event.
- Large memory space for up to 10000 history records, first in first out order, all events can be recorded during the
operation period.
- LCD backlight Auto-off mode. When no operation or event to display within preset time, LCD backlight will be
automatically turn off. When there are events / operations, LCD will light up automatically to display events and/or
interlocking devices.
