Product Overview
Model FC901 is an intelligent FACP that provides a cost-effective, feature-rich solution for small fire-alarm system applications. Small and compact in design, Model FC901 is ideal for small fire protection applications using less than 50 addressable devices:
 Retail outlets / strip malls  doctors’ offices
 Dry-cleaner shops             restaurants, etc.
With its built-in DACT and two (2) NACs, Model FC901 is powerful enough to economically meet the
needs of these applications. Each 50-point FACP has City of Chicago, Class 1 Approval, as well as
being FM (#3010); CSFM (#7165-0067:0259) and FDNY (#6104) Approved.

Specifications

The Model FC901 FACP consists of a main board (Model FCM901-U3); a 170-Watt power supply
(Model FP2011-U1), and a Model FH901-U3 / R3 system enclosure. The programming software for Model FC901 is held in flash electrically erasable

Main Board

The Model FCM901-U3 main board provides system display and control, as well as connections for system field wiring, via removable terminal blocks. The 3.5-inch (8.9 centimeters) by 1.5” (3.8 centimeters) liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen shows all system messages and event status. Each screen supports 182 characters: seven (7) lines with 26 characters per line. Each event may have a custom message up to 40 characters that describes the event’s location. The backlit LCD screen illuminates on any system event or manual key press. New, ‘unacknowledged’ events are indicated by a flashing exclamation point ('!'). Once ‘acknowledged,’ the exclamation point changes to a
check mark (‘√ ’). A system-status line shows the quantity of events presently active.
Since each main board contains a built-in RS─485 communication bus, Model FCM901-U3 readily
supports system-status light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory and Ground Fault system commands.

Leased-Line / City-Tie Module
The Model FC901 FACP has the capability of operating an optional leased-line, city-tie module (Model
FCI2020-U1) that provides a local-energy output for municipal call-box connection.

A wiring harness, Model FCA901-U1, is required for use, and must be ordered separately. The leased-line, city-tie module is installed on the back of the main board of the Model FC901 FACP, and field wiring is connected to the main board.

50-Point Remote Annunciator
The fire-system displays (FSD901-U3 / R3) are remote LED / LCD units that show the existing status of the Model FC901 FACP. The Model FSD901-U3 / R3 optional display supports the following LEDs for system-status
conditions:
 Power
 Alarm
 Trouble
 Supervisory
 Ground-Fault

There are also LEDs to indicate when audible circuits are ‘active’ or ‘silenced.’ The main board supports four (4) system-control buttons, including: Acknowledge; Alarm Silence; Unsilence, and Reset.

For Model FSD901-U3 / R3, a LED will illuminate for any given Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble Cerberus PRO- system event. A 3.5-inch (8.9 centimeters) by 1.5” (3.8 centimeters) LCD screen will give details of the event in alphanumeric form. The display screen can be scrolled to reveal additional events. Optional remote- system-control capabilities are also available.

The Remote Peripheral Module (FCA2018-U1) provides a means of connecting a Cerberus PRO 50-point addressable panel to a parallel printer for creating a hard copy of system-status events.

This supervised, intelligent module contains built-in transient protection and plain-decimal addressing.

When Model PAL-1 is used with the remote peripheral module, Model FCA2018-U1 supervises the printer for ON, OFF Line | POWER ON | PAPER OUT | PAPER JAM, and wiring-fault conditions, as required by UL for NFPA 72 proprietary systems.

The following are the dimensions based upon connection to a one-height-unit enclosure (1HU) for
Model FC901:

Approximate size: 16.5” (41.9 cm.) [H];
                              18.13” (46.1 cm.) [W];
                              5.11” (13 cm.) [D]

The weight (without operating unit or batteries) is approximately 9 pounds [4082 g].

LED Annunciator Driver: 32 Outputs | 16 Inputs Model FT2007-U1 serves as the main component for allowing custom graphic annunciators to operate on Model FC901 FACPs. There are 16 inputs on each Model FT2007-U1 to accommodate user-defined system commands, which include:
Reset; Silence/Unsilence; Acknowledge, and Lamp Test. Inputs can also be programmed as ``Generic’’, which allows additional flexibility for customized functionality.

Shipments of each Model FT2007-U1 driver include two (2) PC boards [PCBs]; one (1) built-in RS−485 interface, and one (1) LED driver. Additionally, one (1) ribbon cable is packaged, allowing connectivity between the two (2) PCBs.

Tabular Annunciator Drivers:
16 Zones | 32 Zones

The Tabular Annunciators allow system events sent from Cerberus PRO 50-point addressable panels to be displayed remotely in real-time. The Model FT2008 series of tabular annunciators has 16 zones and the Model FT2009 series uses up to 32 zones. Additionally, no more than two (2) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be used per zone. A built-in RS−485 communication bus controls the operation and supervision of the 16-zone and 32- zone Tabular Annunciators, which are available in black or red.

Temperature and Humidity Range
Model FC901 is UL 864 9th Edition Listed for indoor dry locations within a temperature range of 120 +/- 3°F (49 +/- 2°C) to 32 +/- 3°F (0 +/- 2°C) and a relative humidity of 93 +/- 2% at a temperature of 90 +/- 3°F (32 +/- 2°C).

Note: Multiple central station receivers are compatible with the Cerberus PRO 50-point FACP, Model FC901.

Although the table above illustrates central station receivers that have been verified by Siemens with the Model FC901 FACP, additional receivers and formats can also be used with each 50-point addressable system.

After completing the installation, communication between the Digital Alarm Communication Transmitter (Model DACT) and Central Station Receiver must be tested and verified.
