FICO PRO - Operation Guide

GENERAL, PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONS

1 GENERAL

The monitoring system ISYteq FICO-PRO is designed for monitoring

and testing motorized ﬁre dampers. The system consists of a control

unit FCLB-256 as the main unit, which can directly accommodate the

connection of up to 4 ﬁre dampers and multi-boxes ISYteq FCBB-

2 & FCBB-4. The multi-boxes can control two or four ﬁre dampers

respectively and they are installed close to the ﬁre dampers. The

FCBBs are installed in a suitable location with the system able to

control 256 ﬁre dampers and 128 smoke detectors with individual

status indications. The ﬁre dampers can be divided into multiple groups

with each of them including ventilation interlocking.

- FICO PRO

- FCBB-2

- FCBB-4

The PRO control unit has four internal relay units for the connection of 4

number ﬁre dampers and 2 smoke detectors. Additionally, the PRO has

4 volt-free relays, 3 are assigned by default for the connection of a ﬁre

alarm contact, a service alarm contact and a fan control contact. Digital

inputs of which there are 3 for external test switch, external interlock

or external ﬁre alarm.

The communication with the multi-boxes is via Modbus RTU

communication protocol and must be connected in a daisy chain,

looping in and out from each multi-box after the PRO master device.

The complete system can consist of 1 PRO and up to 63 FCBB multi-

boxes. Care in the design of the system should be taken as the

maximum number of multi-boxes in a single system can not exceed

63 regardless of whether FCBB-2 or FCBB-4 multi-boxes are used.

Manual function control can be performed from the control unit for a

damper group with several different settings: the whole system, group

by group, for a single multi-box or a single damper (Note! Single multi-

box or single damper test can only be performed if the multi-box or

damper have been assigned to an individual group). In addition, a

manual function control can be run using a push button on the multi-

box. The system’s ﬂexibility allows for a system test of dampers or

groups separately, therefore removing the need to shut down the

AHU if required to continue running for a critical application. A built-in

schedule allows for testing of the ﬁre dampers to be carried out at the

most convenient times.

The modular construction of the ISYteq FICO system allows for a

ﬂexible installation and commissioning approach, as the system can

be easily extended with more multi-boxes.

The HMI is a 7-inch colour touchscreen and utilises the ISYteq controls

tile format to display the system and for easy navigation of the system.

Alarm indications are quickly seen and can be easily read for quick

action. A Modbus connection from the FICO PRO can be connected to

the building management system for remote indication of operating

status.

2 PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONS

FICO PRO - for the control and management of four 24V ﬁre damper

actuators directly connected and the control and management of up to

a further 252 24V damper actuators via the Multi-boxes FCBB-2 and

or FCBB-4. The unit ﬁrmware incorporates a calendar for the set-up of

regulated testing.

2.1. Easy to engineer

The control unit contains all essential functions and ensures safe

installation. The system has two data transfer loops to which the

multi boxes are connected in series using, for instance, FQAR-PG

2x0.5 (1 twisted pair) Modbus data transfer cable can be used for the

connection. The maximum length of the cable is 1100 m in each loop.

This makes it easy to connect new multi-boxes to an existing system.

The power supply voltage for the control unit and the multi-boxes is

230 VAC. Each multi-box supplies 24 VAC max. to 2 or 4 dampers.

The maximum number of smoke detectors connected to a multi-box is

two. As part of the installation, the system can be divided into groups.

Each FICO PRO and FCBB multi-box requires a 230VAC connection

using a power cable type such as EQQ 3x1.5 mm2. See the cabling

requirements on page 7.

2.2. Easy to use

The control unit panel has a

7-inch colour touchscreen

display, with LED indicators

on the multi-box control

board, which can be seen

through the clear box cover.

All functions, settings and

readings are accessible

through the menu system.

The settings are protected

with three levels that require passwords. The possibility to read room

status through the multi-box makes monitoring quick and easy.

2.3. Damper testing

Damper function control can be run automatically at set intervals for

the whole installation at the same time. Manual function control can

be run from the control unit or the multi-box. From the control unit, you

can select testing of the whole system, a group, a single multi-box, or a

single ﬁre damper if these have been assigned to their own group.

3 AUTOMATION SYSTEM

The FICO PRO control unit can be connected to a building automation

system through a Modbus protocol connection. This makes it possible

to monitor the FICO’s functions, e.g., damper status, smoke detector

status, and ﬁre and service alarms.

3.1. External inputs and outputs

- Fire alarm output

- Service alarm output

- External ﬁre alarm input

- External interlock input, enabling damper closing without alarm.

- Built-in data transfer via Modbus as standard.

- Fan/AHU control outputs

- External damper test

- External reset inputs

3.2. Service mode

Single multi-boxes can be set to service mode to facilitate repair

work on rooms or ventilation or ventilation extension work. In this

mode, the multi-box is not activated. After a set time the multi-box will

automatically return to an activated state.

3.3. Fan interlocking relay

Standard delivery includes four built-in relays in the ISYteq FICO PRO,

further relays to extend the system for controlling ventilation equipment

groups are possible with the use of the FCIO-88 which has 8 relay

outputs. The system can be extended to handle up to 63 multi-boxes

and a total of 256 ﬁre dampers. The whole system (256 ﬁre dampers)

can be contained in a single group. In the event of a ﬁre alarm being

triggered all dampers automatically close, and a signal to the AHU can

be sent to shut down or operate certain extract functions alongside or

separate to smoke extract fan/s.

5.1.2 Manual test dampers

It is possible to carry out a manual test of all dampers, and groups of

dampers. For a group of dampers to be tested, the group must have

been created either during the set-up process or before you require

a set number of dampers to be tested as a group (see the FICO PRO

operation manual for further details of how to set up groups of dampers.

Dampers can be manually tested by pushing the test button on a multi-

box PCB. In this case, all the dampers connected to a particular multi-

box will be tested instantly and simultaneously.

The other way of a manual damper test is to execute it from the HMI of

FICO PRO. It is possible to test ﬁre dampers manually one ﬁre damper

group at a time.

1. Select ‘Groups’ tile from the home view.

2. Select a group to be manually tested.

3. Select ‘Test group’ to start damper testing.

SETTINGS, ACCESSORIES

5.2. Servicing dampers in the system

We recommend that the complete system should be put into standby

mode when you need to carry out any servicing to a damper. If this is

not feasible, it is recommended to at least set the multi-box to which

the serviceable ﬁre damper is connected to service mode for the

duration of the service.

5.3. Alarms in the ISYteq FICO PRO

When an alarm has occurred within the system, a notiﬁcation is shown

on the screen.

Types of alarms

Fire alarm – The complete system or a damper group is in full

alarm mode:

1. All dampers close

2. Only certain dampers close within a set group/s

Service alarm – An issue has occurred to the system:

1. A damper has failed to close

2. A damper has failed to open

3. Smoke detector is dirty

4. Smoke detector is disconnected

5. Smoke detector is a short circuit

Timeout alarm – An error with the communication to a multi-box/

boxes

The fan stopped – The ﬁre alarm in the group or closed damper count

in the group exceeds the set value for the group

controlling the fan relay output. Or timed-out unit

count in the group exceeds the allowed set count for

the group controlling the fan relay output.
