The FCP‑500 Conventional Flush-mount Detectors are

UL Listed, open area photoelectric smoke detectors.

Use them with commercial fire protective signaling systems and household fire warning systems (see

NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code).

These smoke detectors are available as a photoelectric smoke detector or as a multi‑sensor detector with an additional carbon monoxide (CO) sensor. The detectors are ideal for areas where increased levels of dust and fibers are expected. Each type is offered in white or transparent with color inserts.

These smoke detectors satisfy the most demanding aesthetic requirements. Their ultra-low profile design offers flush ceiling mounting. The detectors and covers in the P versions are supplied with reversible printed color rings in 32 colors for individual color matching.

Functions

Sensor Technology and Signal Processing

All of these detectors are equipped with two optical sensors and a contamination sensor. The FCP‑500‑C multi-sensor detector also has a CO sensor.

All sensor signals are constantly analyzed by the internal signal electronics through specially developed algorithms.

Multiple criteria optical sensors with the CO sensor results in an extremely high tolerance to unwanted alarms. Consequently, the detector can be used in areas with small amounts of non-fire-related smoke, steam, or dust.

Optical (Smoke) Sensor (all models)

The optical sensor operates according to the scattered light method.

The LEDs transmit pulsed infrared light at a defined angle into the scattered light area. If a fire occurs, the light is scattered by the smoke particles and strikes the photo diodes that transform the quantity of light into a proportional electrical signal.

Interference effects from daylight and lighting sources are filtered out with an optical daylight filter and by using electronic filtering and rectification algorithms.

The detector's various diodes (infrared and photo) are individually controlled by the detector's electronics.

Independent signal combinations are produced that are ideal for detecting smoke. This makes it possible

2 | FCP‑500 Conventional Flush‑mount Smoke Detectors to differentiate between smoke and interference agents (insects, objects). In addition, the detector's algorithm checks the plausibility of the timing and correlation of sensor signals. This makes it possible to detect errors in the signal electronics or the LEDs.

CO sensor (C models only)

Notice

The CO sensor is for detection enhancement only.

It is not a CO detector and cannot activate an alarm in the presence of CO only.

Without the presence of CO, the smoke sensor is half as sensitive to smoke as a standard commercial photoelectric smoke detector. This reduces false alarms. When the sensor detects CO, the detection chamber's sensitivity to smoke increases so it is equal to that of a standard commercial photoelectric smoke chamber.

Contamination Sensor (all models)

The degree of contamination on the detector surface or a blockage of the detector is continually measured by the contamination (antimask) sensor. Heavy contamination of the detector surface or a blockage causes a fault indication.

Additional Performance Features

• A clearly visible two-color LED indicates various operating states:

– A green LED flashes every 8 seconds when the detector has power and the smoke sampling circuitry is working.

– A green double flash every 8 seconds indicates a trouble.

– A green flash every second indicates that the detector is in test mode. This test mode, that checks the physical function of the optical and

CO sensors, starts by activating the detector's dry reed contact with a magnet for at least 2 sec but not more than 4 sec.

• Perform an electrical function test by activating the dry reed contact for more than 10 sec. The detector activates an alarm and the LED turns red.

• An external alarm LED indicator can be connected.

• The innovative detector lock operates on a click and lock principle to provide fast and simple insertion and replacement of the detector. Use the specially developed FAA‑500‑RTL Removal Tool, especially for high mounting heights.

• Convenient detector testing is available with the

FAA‑500‑TTL Test Adapter with Magnet.

Installation/configuration notes

• For detailed instructions, see the FCP-500 Series

Installation Guide.

• Compatible with all UL Listed four-wire control panels. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper EOL resistor selection. The

EOL resistor can be connected to terminals in the

FCA-500-E base.

• Install the detectors exclusively in the FCA‑500 or

FCA‑500‑E bases provided. In addition, install the detector base in an FAA‑500‑BB‑UL ceiling-mount back box.

• Do not use these detectors outdoors.

• Maintain an unobstructed hemispherical space with a radius of 1.7 ft (50 cm) below the detector.

• Ensure that people, larger animals, plants, or other objects do not intrude into this hemispherical area and that no parts of the detector surface become covered.

• Install the detector in a position which is out of arm's reach. A minimum mounting height of 9 ft (2.7 m) is recommended.

• Do not install thes detectors in rooms where data is transmitted by means of high-intensity infrared light

(such as rooms with IR systems for interpreters).

• Do not mount the detectors in direct sunlight.

• Maintain a minimum distance of 1.7 ft (50 cm) from lamps. Do not mount the detectors in a cone of light from lamps.

• Consult NFPA 72 for proper detector placement. Use the specifications of a standard spot smoke detector.

A half-inch conduit connector can be mounted to the back box.

• Six‑conductor wiring is required to connect power, alarm contacts, and trouble contacts.
