Fire Alarm Systems | FCP‑500 Conventional Automatic Fire Detectors
FCP‑500 Conventional Automatic Fire
Detectors
▶ Modern, ultra-flat design
▶ Matches the surrounding decor by using color toning inserts
▶ Smooth, easily-cleaned detector surface
▶ Innovative fastening mechanism
▶ High reliability
FCP‑500 Conventional Automatic Fire Detectors satisfy the most demanding aesthetic requirements owing to their flat design, which offers flush ceiling mounting and the option of color matching.
The FCP‑500 is available as a scattered light smoke detector or as a multi-sensor detector with an additional gas sensor. The respective versions of the detectors are available in white or transparent with color inserts.
Functions
The smooth, flush-installation surface means the FCP‑500 detectors can be installed in areas with high aesthetic requirements. In addition, the fire detectors are suitable for areas with heightened dust exposure.
The detectors and trim rings in the "transparent with color inserts" version are always supplied complete with reversible printed color rings, which offer a choice of
16 colors for individual color matching.
Sensor technology and signal processing
All detectors in the FCP‑500 series are equipped with two optical sensors and a pollution sensor. The FCP‑OC 500 multisensor detector contains a gas sensor as an additional detection channel.
All sensor signals are constantly analyzed by the internal signal evaluation electronics and are linked with each other through algorithms.

By linking the optical sensors and the gas sensor, the OC detector can also be used in places where the work carried out gives rise to small amounts of smoke, steam or dust. The alarm will only be triggered automatically if the signal combination corresponds with the detector’s characteristic diagram. Consequently, a very high reliability against false alarms is obtained.
Optical sensor (smoke sensor)
The optical sensor (1) operates according to the scattered light method. The LEDs (3) transmit light at a defined angle into the scattered light area (7).

In case of fire, the light is scattered by the smoke particles and strikes the photo diodes (2), which transform the quantity of light into a proportional electrical signal.

Interference effects from daylight and commercial lighting sources are filtered out with an optical daylight filter and by the use of electronic filtering and phase-locked rectification (ambient light stability: glare test
DIN EN 54‑7).
The various light-emitting and photo diodes of the sensor are individually controlled by the detector electronics.
Consequently, signal combinations are produced that are independent of each other and ideally suitable for the detection of smoke, which makes it possible to differentiate between smoke and interference agents
(insects, objects). In addition, the time characteristics and the correlation of the optical sensor signals for the fire or interference detection are evaluated.
Moreover, plausibility checking of the various signals makes it possible to detect errors in the analysis electronics and the LEDs.
Chemical sensor (CO gas sensor)
The gas sensor (4) detects mainly the carbon monoxide
(CO) that is produced by a fire, but it also detects hydrogen (H) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).
The basic measuring principle is CO oxidation on an electrode and the measurable current that arises from this. The sensor signal value is proportional to the concentration of gas.
The gas sensor delivers additional information to effectively suppress deceptive values.
Depending on the service life of the gas sensor, the
FCP‑OC 500 detector switches off the C sensors after five years of operation. The detector will continue to function as an O detector. The detector should then be exchanged immediately in order to be able to keep using the higher reliability of detection of the OC detector.
Pollution sensor
The contamination level on the detector surface is continually measured by the pollution sensor (6); the result is evaluated and indicated.
Contamination of the detector surface leads to active adaptation of the threshold value (closed-circuit value correction).
Further performance characteristics
Various operating states are indicated on the detector by means of a clearly visible two-color LED. In the event of an alarm, the LED flashes red.
The innovative detector locking, which operates on the ballpoint-pen principle, provides fast and simple insertion and replacement of the detector. We recommend the specially developed FAA‑500‑RTL exchanger device, especially in the case of high installation heights.
To allow convenient detector testing, the FAA‑500‑TTL test adapter with magnet and additional service accessories is available.

• The detectors and detector bases can be used together with the „Rotaris” lamp by Philips.
•
The FCP‑OC 500, like the FCP‑O 500, is planned according to the guidelines for optical detectors (see
DIN VDE 0833 Part 2 and VDS 2095).
• The detectors must be installed exclusively in the
FCA‑500 bases provided. In addition, the detector base must be installed in an FAA‑500‑BB ceiling mount back box or in FAA‑500‑SB surface mount back box.
Note For flush ceiling mounting with FAA‑500‑BB:
The false ceiling may have a maximum thickness of
Note 32 mm. Above the false ceiling, a free height of at least 110 mm is required.
• FCP‑500 detectors are not intended for outdoor use.
A hemispherical space with a radius of 50 cm must remain free below the detectors.

•
Care must be taken to ensure that neither people, larger animals, plants nor any objects intrude into this area and that no parts of the detector surface become covered.
•
The detectors may only be installed in a position which is out of arm's reach. We therefore recommend a minimum installation height of 2.70 m.
•
The detectors may not be installed in rooms in which data is transmitted by means of high-intensity infrared light (e. g. in rooms with IR systems for interpreters).
•
The detectors must be mounted so that they are not exposed to any direct sunlight.
• A minimum distance of 50 cm from lamps must be maintained. The detectors may not be mounted in a cone of light from lamps.
• The bases are equipped as standard with a spring which is suitable for installation of the detector in false ceilings. When the detector is installed in concrete or wooden ceilings, these need to be replaced by the stronger springs FAA‑500‑SPRING with red markings.
• Maximum permitted air speed: 20 m/s
Country-specific standards and guidelines must be observed during the planning phase.
