Wiring the Base (FCA−500 and FCA−500−E)
In applications which require UL listed units, the power of all connections (detector power, trouble and
alarm relay) must be taken from power limited supplies when the cable is carried through the grommets.
Please check with the local authorities to insure mounting without the conduit connector is allowed.
Note:
D Do not twist or loop the wires around the terminals. The
wires for terminal connection must be cut, stripped, and
inserted as individual ends.
D Use the cable holders on the base for strain relief for the
wires.
D EOL resistor: For the last base on the stub line
(FCA−500−E), place the EOL resistor between the two
screw clamps (see Fig. 4).
D Alarm resistor: If neccessary, change the alarm contact
resistance from 0 to 680 by breaking off the printed
circuit board tongue (see Fig. 4).
For 680 Ω break off alarm resistor here!

3.
4.
Check the wiring from the control panel to the last head on the run for proper polarity and continuity.
Make sure each run terminates with an EOL resistor as specified by the control panel manufacturer.
Apply power to the system. Check for alarm and troubles.
If single detectors alarmed or went in trouble, check if there is a free space of at least 19 in. (50 cm) around these
detectors. If the problem persists, replace these detectors or swap them with known good units. If also the good
units alarm or go in trouble, the sensitivity may have been affected by the surrounding environment. Recheck if
there are any obstructions around the detector which may reflect the light emitted by the detector.
5. Switch the dry reed contact of every detector within the installation with a magnet (see Section 5., Dry Reed
Contact and Section 6., Electronical Function Test ) for at least 10 sec until the detector alarms. Then reset the
detector by removing the power for at least 2 seconds. After the reset, the detector will adjust its operating
baseline in dependence of the surrounding environment.. Make sure that no objects or obstructions (like the test
tool SOLO330 itself) are ahead of the detector during reset.
After installation, the operating baseline must be adjusted once at every detector to the correct level. If
there are any obstacles ahead of the detector when resetting an alarm caused by the Electronical Function Test (see Section 6.), the sensitivity of the detector may be affected.
6. Perform the sensitivity test described in Section 7. at every detector.
4. Maintenance and Service
D Trained personnel should perform a visual and physical test according Table 2 as recommended by NFPA−72
(National Fire Alarm Code).
D For cleaning the detector surface, use a common window cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.
Notify all concerned parties before any maintenance or testing of the fire alarm system, and after
completion of these activities.
Note:
D The FCP−500−C and FCP−500−C−P must be replaced every five years. The chemical (CO) sensor turns off at five
years of operation. The LED double−flashes every 8 to 12 sec, indicating trouble, and the detector continues to function as an optical (O) detector.

8. Smoke Test for the FCP−500 / FCP−500−P
Note: No testing gas is required! For testing use only:
− Test tool for optical smoke detectors Solo 330 (product ID 4.998.112.071)
− with FAA−500−TTL test adapter with magnet (product ID F.01U.508.725)
1. Activate the dry reed contact (Section 5., Dry Reed Contact).
2. Leave the magnet on the test tool by the dry reed contact for at least 2 sec and not more than 4 sec. Count two
flashes of the LED. The detector stays in test mode for 60 sec. The green LED blinks once a second.
3. Hold the test tool under the detector so that the test beaker is flush with the trim ring.
Note: Do not tip the test tool, or the detector might come loose.
4. By covering the scattered light areas, both optical sensors are triggered simultaneously (no O testing gas is
required).
5. This can take up to 20 sec. An alarm activates and the red LED lights. If the panel is in test mode, the alarm resets
automatically.
9. CO and Smoke Test for the FCP−500−C / FCP−500−C−P
The CO sensor has not been evaluated to the requirements of UL 2075 or for its ability to detect a fire.
The FCP−500−C and FCP−500−C−P detect CO as a component of a fire. In dependence of the measured CO concentration the sensitivity of the smoke sensor is adjusted.
Perform the CO sensor test once a year to confirm that the sensor is functioning.
Note: For testing use only:
− Test tool for optical smoke detectors Solo 330 (product ID 4.998.112.071)
− with FAA−500−TTL test adapter with magnet (product ID F.01U.508.725)
1. Conduct step 1 to 5 of Section 8. (Smoke Test) to ensure that the smoke sensor is functioning. After this an alarm
activates and the red LED lights steady. Don’t reset the detector.
2. If over 70 ppm of carbon monoxide is applied to the detector, the red LED of the detector starts flashing. This
indicates that the carbon monoxide sensor is working.
3. Reset the detector by removing the power.
