2 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel | FPC-500 | BOSCH

• FPC-500 Conventional Fire Panel

• High-value modern optics – suitable for public access areas
• Plain text LCD
• Available for 2, 4 or 8 detector zones for up to 64,128 or 256 detectors
• Optional use of EOL module (EN 54-13 requirement)
• Strong 3 A power supply

The FPC‐500‐x Conventional Fire Panel is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized objects. Thanks to the proven conventional line technology a cost-saving fire alarm system can be set up.
Three types are available:
• FPC‐500‐2: 2 zones for up to 64 detectors
• FPC‐500‐4: 4 zones for up to 128 detectors
• FPC‐500‐8: 8 zones for up to 256 detectors
With the integrated LCD display, the panel can be programmed and operated.
The optional extensions such as relay modules, open collector modules and key switches allow further tailoring to user needs.

Functions

The fire panels of FPC-500 series have the following features available:

• Alarm verification
• Dual-detector dependency
• Dual-zone dependency
• Intermediate alarm storage
• Programmable delays
• Switching between day and night mode (AV)
• Event and test history
• Alarm counter

Operating levels
The fire panels have three different operating levels.No access code is required for level 1. Access to level 2 and 3 requires four-digit codes (level 2 also accessible with optional key switch).The access codes for level 2 and 3 can be changed.Different test functions are available. On level 1 LED,buzzer and LCD tests can be run. On level 2 and 3 additional tests for zones, outputs and NACs can be run.

Programming
You can program the panel easily via the keypad and LCD display. The zones can be configured independently allowing for a perfect tailoring to individual customer needs. The default programming helps getting acquainted quickly with the system and must be modified slightly to fit many applications.

Certifications and approvals

The provided options according to EN 54‐2:1997/A1:2006 include:
• Alarm counter
• Test condition
• Output to fire alarm devices
• Delays to outputs
• Dependencies on more than one alarm signal
           – Type A dependency
           – Type B dependency

Installation/configuration notes

• The fire panel must be mounted indoors in a dry,maintained place, note         environmental conditions (seeTechnical Data).
• Mount the fire panel to the wall with the LCD at eye level.
• For optimum battery life, the fire panel should only be operated at                permissible operating temperatures (0°C to +40°C).
• Country-specific standards and guidelines must be observed when planning.
• Note the requirements of your local authorities and institutions (police, fire    service).
• For an operation of the fire detection system according to EN 54‐13, it is        required to terminate every zone with an EOL module.

Maintenance
Have maintenance and inspection work carried out regularly by trained, qualified personnel. Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH recommends a functional and visual inspection at least once a year.
