3 Description of FS20 Fire Alarm Control Panel
3.1 Introduction
The FS20 system is a life safety system that is modular, networkable fire detection systems that can consist of
FC2025/FC922 and/or FC2050/FC924 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). It comprises of all the components
required for the detection, evaluation and annunciation of life safety event such as fire and smoke condition. By
using optional modules, copper wiring cables can be used to network the panels together.
The FC2025 / FC922 FACP is capable of supporting up to 252 devices and FC2050/FC924 FACP is capable of
supporting up to 504 devices. Both panels have a PMI with optional LED module, 2 Class B or 1 Class A NAC, 4
control relays, battery charger capability and auxiliary power connection. Both panels support a DACT capability,
connection to Remote Annunciator and Releasing Application as optional features. All panels use 170W power
supply and EMI filter with terminal block that comes with the FH2071-UM enclosure.
Many parts used in the FC922 / FC924 / FC2025 / FC2050 Marine FACPs have passed Salt-Mist-Spray
requirements for
Exceptional Degree of Protection
, per USCG guidelines. For a list of devices that are approved for
Salt-Mist-Spray, see section 28,
Equipment List for Marine Applications.
For Marine Application, FH2071-UM enclosure was designed specifically for marine application with built-in shock
mounting is used to be able to absorb vibration and comes with seismic battery bracket.
