4. سیٹ اپ اور انسٹالیشن

Proper installation is critical for the reliable operation of the FCM-1 module. Refer to the specific FACP installation manual for detailed wiring diagrams and compatibility information.

4.1 ماڈیول کو ایڈریس کرنا

1. Set the module's address using the rotary switches or programming tool as specified by the FACP manufacturer. Each module on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) must have a unique address.
2. Record the assigned address for system documentation.

4.2 وائرنگ کی ہدایات

• بجلی کی فراہمی: Connect the external power supply for the NAC to the designated terminals on the module. Ensure the power supply meets the requirements of the notification appliances.
• SLC Connection: Connect the SLC wiring from the FACP to the module's input terminals. Observe polarity.
• NAC Connection: Connect the notification appliances to the module's output terminals. For Class A wiring, ensure a return path to the module. For Class B, an End-Of-Line Resistor (EOLR) is required at the last device.
• گراؤنڈنگ: Ensure the module and associated wiring are properly grounded according to local codes.

Note: Always verify all connections before applying power to the system.

5. آپریٹنگ ہدایات

The FCM-1 module operates under the control of the connected Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Once properly installed and addressed, the FACP will supervise the NAC and activate the connected notification appliances upon receiving an alarm condition.

5.1 ایل ای ڈی انڈیکیٹر

• عام آپریشن: The LED will flash periodically, indicating normal communication with the FACP.
• Alarm/Active: The LED will illuminate steadily when the module is activated (e.g., during an alarm).
• پریشانی: Specific flash patterns may indicate trouble conditions. Refer to the FACP manual for detailed trouble codes.

5.2 سسٹم ٹیسٹنگ

Regular system testing, including the activation of the FCM-1 module and its connected notification appliances, should be performed according to local codes and manufacturer recommendations to ensure proper functionality.

6 دیکھ بھال

The FCM-1 module requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended as part of the overall fire alarm system maintenance schedule.

• بصری معائنہ: Periodically inspect the module for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or environmental degradation.
• صفائی: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the module with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• سسٹم ٹیسٹنگ: Ensure the module is included in routine system tests to confirm its operational status.

Always de-energize the unit prior to any maintenance or servicing.

7 خرابیوں کا سراغ لگانا

If the FCM-1 module or its connected NAC is not functioning as expected, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No LED Activity:
  • Verify power supply to the FACP and SLC.
  • Check SLC wiring for breaks or short circuits.
  • Confirm module address is correctly set and unique.
• Trouble Indication on FACP:
  • Consult the FACP manual for specific trouble codes related to the module's address.
  • Check NAC wiring for open circuits (missing EOLR for Class B, or wire break) or short circuits.
  • Verify external power supply for the NAC is present and correct.
• Notification Appliances Not Activating:
  • Ensure the FACP is in an alarm state.
  • Check the external power supply for the NAC.
  • Verify wiring to the notification appliances.
  • Test individual notification appliances if possible.

If issues persist, contact qualified service personnel or Notifier technical support.
