The FPA‑1000 Analog Addressable Fire Panels are a scalable solution for fire detection. Protect your small office with a single system or connect multiple panels together as your needs grow. Networking capabilities support the monitoring of up to 8 interconnected panels (2,000 addressable points) in one system for campuses or other large commercial environments. The FPA‑1000 panels combine complete built-in Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) equipment such as Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs), relays, power supply, Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT), and Ethernet connection with expandability using the option bus or plug‑in boards. The two integrated NACs can be expanded with remote addressable NAC power boosters and programmed with specific activation patterns. The control panel includes one SLC that supports 254 addressable points (254 analog detectors or modules, or 127 analog sounder bases in combination with a suitable detector). The control panel is easily expandable with the FPE‑1000‑SLC Signaling Line Circuit Plug-in Module, doubling the address points to 508.

The panel has a compact and solid metal housing with a keyed lock and a removable dead front door to access electronics. It features surface and semi-flush mounting options. On the front of the panel, six lightemitting diodes (LEDs) show Fire, Carbon Monoxide (Gas) Alarm, Power, Supervisory, Silenced, and Trouble conditions. The built‑in keypad can be used for total system control and programming even when wearing fireman gloves. In addition, a large 4‑line by 20‑character alphanumeric LCD display shows programmed device point information. Four keys enable Drill, Reset, Silence, and Acknowledge functions. The FPA‑1000 panels enable various programming approaches:
• Front panel programming
• On-site programming, using a laptop with the possibility of pre-programming at the office
• Off-site programming, with remote access via Ethernet (browser-based)
Front panel programming provides an auto‑learn

function, allowing the installer to configure the system quickly and easily in default mode. Using a local laptop or remote access communication, the programming is carried out by means of a browser‑based user

interface. Therefore, no software installation is required. The panel can receive diagnostics from a
Web browser running on an internet‑connected PC.

miscellaneous reporting functions such as dialing control and transmission supervision, priorities of
report groups, routing to destinations, manual and auto test reports, and Anti-Replay feature.
For the primary and secondary account, the following features are programmable:
• Two different phone or IP numbers
• Different dialing types for PSTN (pulse only, automatic, or tone only)
• Individual PSTN line supervision (audible and visual trouble signal in the case of a transmission path failure)
• Selectable options for Report Steering Groups
• Programmable supervision time for each IP reporting
Conettix account
• Test report frequency individually programmable for each account (4, 6, 24 hour, 7 and 28 day intervals, standard frequency 24 hour)

Applications

The panels are recommended for a wide range of
commercial and public building applications, including:
• Retail - single building applications
• Education - schools and universities
• Residential - apartment buildings
• Commercial - manufacturing plants, warehouses and
office complexes
• Government and Public Service - military bases and
installations
• Medical - healthcare facilities

Multi-criteria Detectors

A range of pull stations, modules, accessories andc detectors are available to meet the needs of your
application. These include the new Automatic Fire Detector 440 family that incorporates multi-criteria
technology for higher sensitivity, faster detection, and fewer false alarms.

Gas detection

Integrated gas detection is an important element of your facility’s fire and life safety strategy. Using
FCC-380 Carbon Monoxide detectors combined with an addressable monitor module, you can set your system to alarm for carbon monoxide to meet the NFPA requirements for visual and audible annunciation for this hazardous gas.

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)

Two Class A or Class B NACs provide up to 4 A of 24 V power (non-synchronized: 2.5 A per NAC,
synchronized: 2.75 A NAC 1 + NAC 2 in total) to operate horns, strobes, bells, and other notification
appliances. Each NAC can be programmed to provide Temporal Code 4, Temporal Code 3, and steady, pulsing, and synchronized protocol output for Wheelock, Gentex, and System Sensor notification appliances.

Functions

Peer-to-peer Communications

The FPA‑1000-V2 panels allow peer-to-peer networking of up to eight panels in a single group supporting a system which can include up to 2000 points. Networked panels act as a single panel enabling all events to be displayed on all units. All connected panels can easily be programmed and controlled via any connected panel. Ethernet, fiber optic, or 2-conductor wire inter‑panel connections can be mixed providing flexibility in system design

System Management

A set of interactive Web pages gives you an instant means to access and record important system
functions. This unique feature enables programming and diagnostic capabilities while off-site, streamlining installation and reducing the time required for servicing the system. And, you can check status and manage the system from virtually anywhere on the network.

Communications

The FPA‑1000 panels have a dual phone line PSTN/ DACT circuit and an Ethernet connection featuring Conettix IP reporting. The panels communicate in Contact ID, SIA, and Modem IIIa2 . The panels provide

On-board Relays

Three programmable on-board relays default to global alarm (zone 226), global system trouble (zone 227), and global system supervisory (zone 228). They can be programmed to activate on a variety of conditions including gas alarm.

Option Bus

On the Option Bus, the panels support up to:
• eight FMR-1000-RCMD Remote Command Centers and FMR-1000-RA Remote Annunciators in any
combination
• eight D7030X Series LED Annunciators with eight LED zones each
• eight D7030X Series/D7032 combinations
• two Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver Modules
• four FPP‑RNAC‑8A‑4C Remote Notification Appliance
Circuit Power Supplies

The outputs of the Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver Modules are fully programmable, and can be activated by system events. These outputs have the same programming options as the local relays. Each output operates independently of the other seven to provide complete flexibility. Communication with the D7035/B or D7048 is supervised.

Power

A transformer working with 120 VAC or 240 VAC is supplied standard with the control panel. Two backup batteries with 7 Ah to 18 Ah each fit inside the fire panel cabinet. A separate battery box can provide higher capacity. An automated battery calculator sheet is available online to aid in battery selection and submittal paperwork.

The panels provide two auxiliary power supplies (one FWR and one DC) with 0.5 A at 24 V each, with switchable AUX/RST. This auxiliary power can run expansion boards or other low current auxiliary devices.

For installations requiring battery capacity higher than 40 Ah, a regulated and UL1481 Listed external power supply can be used. The external power supply connects through the panel's battery terminals and is supervised for AC and battery fault by an input module
on the SLC.

The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C Remote NAC Booster adds four additional Notification Appliance Circuits (NFPA 72, Class A or Class B) to the fire panel or serves as a power supply for fire protective signaling systems. This regulated power supply provides up to 8 A of power that is used to recharge batteries and operate continuous and intermittent alarm loads. This 8 A of power can be distributed through the four NAC Power Supply circuits that are part of the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C. The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is UL Listed for use in commercial fire alarm applications.

Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs)

The panels communicate with each of the analog addressable devices located on the SLCs. The SLCs
allow the use of standard non‑twisted, non‑shielded wiring. Each panel supports two Class B circuits or one Class X circuit or one Class A circuit per SLC.

Installation/configuration notes

Mounting Considerations

The cabinet can be either semi-flush (requires optional FPM‑1000‑SFMK Semi-flush Mounting Kit) or surface mounted. Depending on the configuration and the battery selection, the FPA‑1000 can be heavy. When attaching the enclosure to a surface, use mounting hardware (not supplied) capable of supporting this weight, and reinforce the wall as necessary.

Wiring Considerations

The length of wire allowed between the control panel and the last device on a wiring run depends on the current drawn on that wiring run. Reducing the number of devices on a wiring run allows the
individual runs to be longer. If not otherwise specified, use wire gauge 12 AWG to 18 AWG (ISO 4 mm2 to 0.75 mm2).

Notice

Shared cable is not recommended for the Option Bus, addressable‑points bus, telephone, or NAC
wiring. Do not run wiring for NAC, Option Bus, and SLC in the same conduit. Avoid shielded or twisted-pair wire except for network connections and special applications where a reduced length
of wiring (roughly 50%) is acceptable for tolerating a harsh electrical environment.

Point Capacity/Configuration

Each FPA-1000-V2 panel supports up to 508 addresses, 254 per loop. All compatible detectors and
modules are addressed using the D5070 Programmer. You can use addresses 1 to 127 for any combination of detectors and modules. SLC devices that support the newest DCP protocol version 2.0 can use addresses 1 to 254. For a listing of devices that can use addresses up to 254, see the SLC Address Assignment section of the FPA-1000 Installation and Operation Guide.

Detectors connected to a sounder base can use only addresses 1 to 127. The sounder bases are addressed automatically by the panel, depending on the detector’s address (detector address +127).
