FICO-MINI - Installation and Commissioning
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SYSTEM FICO-MINI
GENERAL
Installation must be carried out by authorized personnel.
The FICO-MINI monitoring system consists of the control unit FICO-MINI,
the multiboxes FCBB-2 and FCBB-4, these components contain elec-
tronic components that can be damaged if handled incorrectly.
The system FICO-MINI is performed with auto-addressing, when the
system starts, it detects how many damper motors and smoke detec-
tors are connected.
Before the device is powered up, all external installations shall be com-
pleted.
The control unit FICO-MINI, the multiboxes FCBB-2 and FCBB-4 should
be mounted with 4 screws into the holes located under the housing
cover to ensure protection class IP54.
The control unit FICO-MINI is capable to handle 1-4 air dampers and 1-2
smoke detectors with individual indicator. The system can be extend-
ed up to max. 12 damper actuator and 6 smoke detectors by using the
multiboxes FCBB-2 and FCBB-4. The multiboxes are supplied with 230V
AC and communicate with the control unit FICO-MINI via a communi-
cation cable. Up to two multiboxes can be connected to a control unit
FICO-MINI.
INPUTS FICO-MINI
Supply voltage 230V AC, 6 A, terminal L, N and PE.
Example of electric cable type: EQQ3G1.5.
OUTPUTS FICO-MINI
All relay outputs are potential-free contacts, shown in a dead state.
Summation alarm for Fire alarm (marked FIRE) in the FICO-MINI. Max
load 230V AC, 6 A resistive load.
Summation alarm contacts for Service alarm (marked SERVICE) in the
FICO-MINI. Max. load 230V AC, 6A resistive load.
Relay contacts for interlocking of fans (marked FAN A) in the FICO-MINI.
Max load 230V AC, 6 A resistive load.
Example of electric cable type: EQQ3x1.5.
DAMPER ACTUATORS
The damper actuators are connected to the central unit FICO-MINI or/
and the multiboxes FCBB-2/FCBB-4. Up to max.12 actuators with in-
dividual indication can be connected to the system. In the control unit
FICO-MINI and in the multibox FCBB-4, four damper actuators can be
connected. In the multibox FCBB-2 two damper actuators can be con-
nected.
The supply voltage to the damper actuators is connected to FICO-MINI
and the multiboxes FCBB-2/FCBB-4 on terminals G and G0 (marked
DAMPER). Indication for closed damper is connected to terminal S2,
G0 is used as common conductor (marked DAMPER) and indication for
open damper is connected to terminal S6, G0 is used as common con-
ductor (marked DAMPER). See section Installation on pages 10-12.
S3 and S5 are not used and shall be insulated.
SMOKE DETECTORS
The Smoke detectors are connected to the control unit FICO-MINI, the
multiboxes FCBB2 / FCBB-4 and up to 6 smoke detectors with individu-
al indication. In to the FICO-MINI, FCBB-4 and FCBB-2 two smoke detec-
tors can be connected.
With FICO-MINI and FCBB-4 you can choose between two alternative
smoke detectors Calectro UG-3-O (duct) or EVC-PY-DA (room). With
FCBB-2 you can choose between three alternative smoke detectors Ca-
lectro UG-3-O (duct), EVC-PY-DA (room) or SOS2.xx (duct).
The supplied 2.2 kOhm resistor must be connected to the UG-3-O and
EVC-PY-DA.
OPERATING OF FANS
The control unit FICO-MINI has one relay output (one group) for inter-
locking fans marked FAN A. In de-energized state and in case of alarm,
the contact is open (NO).
CONNECTION OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FICO-MINI AND
THE MULTIBOXES FCBB-2/FCBB-4
The control unit FICO-MINI has two terminals for connecting communi-
cation wires between control unit FICO-MINI and the multiboxes FCBB-
2/FCBB-4 (marked LINK). Max. two multiboxes can be connected.
The FICO-MINI can be used in conjunction with two FCBB-4, one FCBB-2
and one FCBB-4 or two FCBB-2.
Type of electric cable:
FQAR-PG 2x2x0.5 or equivalent
CONNECTION OF COMMUNICATION TO THE CENTRAL
CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM
In the control unit FICO-MINI there are terminals for connecting commu-
nication wiring (marked BMS) to a higher-level control and monitoring
system (Modbus RTU485).
EXTERNAL INPUTS
In the control unit FICO-MINI there are two inputs for external interlock-
ing.
Input for external fire alarm (EXT):
In case of the external fire alarm is triggered, the dampers are closed
and fan interlocking is activated, possibility to acknowledge the external
fire alarm only after it has been reset.
These terminals are normally factory jumpered.
Input for external interlocking (INT):
Dampers are closed and fan interlocking is activated. Normal status re-
turns when the interlocking is removed.
These terminals are normally factory jumpered.
Input for external test (TST):
An external pushbutton can be connected to perform damper actuator
test.
