Introduction

The FC-2000 is an expandable multi-zone Fire Alarm Control Panel

designed with maximum flexibility and modularity as a basic requirement.

The heart of the system is the Central Processor Unit (CPU-2000) module,

which monitors and directs the actions of all other modules in the system.

Fifteen other modules may be installed in various configurations. Internal

communications are accomplished over a high-speed serial bus.

The CPU-2000 is provided with the Basic Equipment package. This

module provides two Style Z and/or Style Y indicating appliance circuits,

Form-C alarm and trouble contacts, remote station alarm and trouble

outputs, and a municipal central box output.

A Main Power Supply (MPS-24A or MPS-24B) and an Indicating Zone

Module (IZM-8) must be added to make the basic system functional.

The basic system can be expanded using one or more of the following

optional modules or boards:

● IZM-8 Initiating Zone Module

● IZE-A Initiating Zone Expander

● ICM-4 Indicating Circuit Module

● ICE-4 Indicating Circuit Expander

● AVPS-24 Audio Visual Power Supply

● CRM-4 Control Relay Module

● CRE-4 Control Relay Expander

● ARM-4 Auxiliary Relay Module

● VCM-4 Voice Control Module

● VCE-4 Voice Control Expander

● DCM-2 Dual Channel Module

● TCM-2 Time Control Module

● TCM-4 Time Control Module

● AIM-200 Addressable Intelligent Module

● FFT-7 Fire Fighter’s Telephone

● AMG-1 Audio Message Generator

The following procedure outlines the installation and field wiring of the

FC-2000’s modules and refers to illustrations in the Installation, Field

Wiring the Modules, and Power Supplies sections of this document. This

procedure, and its diagrams and instructions, must be followed closely to

avoid damage to the control panel and its associated equipment. To a

great extent, reliability depends upon proper installation and maintenance.

1. Cabinet--Mount the cabinet and draw all field wiring through the

knockouts provided (Figure 3). Ensure that the cabinet is properly

grounded to earth.

Note: If the door is to be hung on the left side, mount door hardware

now. The MPS-24A/MPS-24B rests on the lower door mount.

Do not draw wiring into the bottom nine inches of the cabinet,

or conflict with the power supply and batteries may result.

2. Chassis--Mount all chassis. Refer to Figures 12 and 13 for

installation of the CHS-4 and CHS-4L chassis.

3. Main Power Supply--Mount the main power supply to the cabinet as

illustrated in Figure 15. Do not wire anything at this time!

4. Audio Visual Supplies--If any optional Audio Visual Power Supplies

(AVPS-24) are to be employed, mount them to the chassis. Refer to

Figure 14 for mounting of the AVPS-24 to the CHS-4.

5. Audio Visual Cables--Connect the AVPS trouble cable(s). Connect

the auxiliary bell power harness to the AVPS-24. Refer to Figure 36

to connect these cables.

6. Auxiliary Relay Modules--If any optional Auxiliary Relay Modules

(ARM-4) are to be employed, mount them to the chassis as illustrated

in Figure 16.

7. Preliminary System Wiring--The main power supply and any

AVPS-24s or ARM-4s should be wired at this time while the

terminals are readily accessible. Refer to the Power Supplies section

of this document to wire the MPS-24A/B, the AVPS-24s (see

Figure 36) and any ARM-4s (see Figure 22).

8. Module Ribbon Cables--Connect the first row ribbon cable to the

CPU as illustrated in Figure 17. For each additional row of modules

installed in the cabinet, connect an expander row ribbon cable to the

CPU.

9. CPU-2000--Install the CPU module in the top left cabinet position as

illustrated in Figure 20. Connect the power ribbon and power harness

between the CPU and the main power supply as illustrated in

Figures 32 and 35.

10. Module Expander Boards--If optional expanders are to be used with

a module, install as illustrated in Figure 18.

11. Modules--Mount each module in its respective chassis position as

shown in Figure 19.

12. Field-wire each module, using the following figures for reference:

IZM-8 (Style B): Figure 26

IZM-8 (Style D): Figure 27

ICM-4/ICE-4: Figure 28

LCD-80, ACM-16AT/32A, ACM-8R, NIB-96, AA-30: Refer to the

Fire Management Accessories Manual (FAN 445).

TCM-2 and TCM-4: Refer to those documents in this manual.

VCM-4/VCE-4, DCM-4, AMG-1, FFT-7: For installation and field

wiring of voice alarm equipment, refer to the FC-2000 Fire Fighter’s

Command Center Technical Bulletin in this manual.

13. Power-on-check--Apply AC power to the system. Do not connect

the batteries at this time! To silence the audible trouble sounder, push

the ACKNOWLEDGE switch on the CPU. The system should reflect

the following status:

On the CPU:

● Green AC POWER indicator is on.

● SYSTEM TROUBLE and POWER FAILURE indicators will be

on due to the absence of batteries.

● ANNUNCIATOR or MODULE TROUBLE indicator may light

shortly after AC power is applied (applies only to a system that has

not been previously configured).

On each module

● The yellow trouble indicators may come on approximately

10 seconds after AC power is applied (applies only to a system

that has not previously been configured).

On each AVPS-24

● The yellow trouble indicators will light due to the absence of

batteries.

On the MPS-24A/B

● The BATTERY FAIL indicator will be on due to the absence of

batteries.

Failure of the AC POWER indicator, or the presence of indications

not mentioned above may suggest an installation problem. Carefully

review the installation instructions to isolate the source.

12 Installation—Installing the FC-2000

14. Programming--To configure and program the system for operation, refer

to the Programming the FC-2000 Technical Bulletin in this manual.

15. Batteries--Once the system has been programmed and is functional,

connect the batteries. Ensure that all indicators except AC POWER

are extinguished.

16. Testing--Fully field test the system by conducting the test procedure

in the Testing the System section of this document.

17. Dress Panels--Complete the installation by installing the cabinet door

first, followed by the Battery Dress Panel (BP-3), and finally,

installing all remaining dress panels (VP-1, DP-1, and the MP-1).

● You may either surface or semi-flush mount the cabinet.

● Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area, using the four

holes provided in the back surface of the backbox.

● Place the cabinet so that the top edge is 66 inches above the surface of

the finished floor. This procedure places the center of the control

panel keypad 60 inches above the finished floor.

The TR-x3 Trim Ring consists of four pieces and is used when semi-flush

mounting the CAB-x3 enclosure (where x is the cabinet size, ranging

from A to D).

Note: To semi-flush mount the cabinet, ensure ample room to allow the

door to swing fully open.

1. Place the top piece on the top of the backbox against the wall.

2. Mark the wall with the locations to drill holes using the trim ring as a

template.

3. Drill 3/16 inch diameter holes where marked. Holes should be drilled

to a depth of 1 inch.

4. Insert the provided wall anchors using a rubber mallet, tapping them

in until they are flush with the wall surface.

5. Secure the trim ring piece to the wall with the screws provided.

6. Repeat Steps 1-5 to install the left, right, and bottom trim ring pieces.

Install the bottom piece last.

Note: The side trim ring pieces should have the holes nearest to the edge

facing outward. See Figure 6.

You may mount the hinges for the CAB-x3 doors on either the left or

right-hand sides of the cabinet. The following illustrations and text depict

a left-hand mounted example. For a right-hand mounting, simply

substitute right for left in the instructions.

Follow the directions below for door assembly.

1. Insert door hinges into the top and bottom slots of the side you wish

to hinge (in this case, the left side). Secure the hinges to the studs in

the backbox with the nuts provided.

bottom up. Place the grounding “star” washer on the stud. Place the

door’s lower corner onto this stud. Placing the door on the lower stud

first provides a place for the door to rest while you complete the

assembly, as shown above.

3. Align the door on the backbox, so that the door sits directly under the

top hinge. Thread the remaining stud into the top hinge and through

the hole in the top of the door, as shown above. The door should now

swing freely.

4. Install the door alignment tabs in the unused slots on the backbox (top

and bottom). In the example below, the door was mounted on the left,

leaving the unused slots on the right. Secure the alignment tab to the

top PEM stud with the nut provided. These tabs align the door

correctly with the backbox and prevent the door from being “skewed”

open.
