located local to or remote from the main network controller and
communicate via RS-485, 20 mA loop or fiber optic links as Class B
only. The FCCA-4/6 is suitable for use with CM1N w/ RM option,
PCPU, or RMDP-1N.
There are two columns of switches on the FCCA-4/6 front panel. The
group of four switches on the left of the bottom panel are the Channel 1
“FIRE AREA” switches; the group of four switches on the right are the
Channel 2 “OTHER AREAS” switches. The “fire area” (Channel 1) is
defined as those locations which receive primary notification when a
fire alarm is received. These are typically located on the fire floor, the
floor above, and the floor below. These locations receive the alarm
signal, which may be one of 15 tones, a pre-recorded message, a page
message originating from the FCCA-4/6, or a page message originating
from a fire fighter’s telephone and patched through to the PCB A,
FCCA Channel 1 audio riser. In dual channel operations, the “FIRE
AREA” signal is distributed throughout the building on riser B which
is associated with the traditional cards: ZB8-2, ZB8-5, or ZB8-8. With
Signature Series, the “fire area” will receive signals present on SIGA
Channel 2, which may be one of 15 tones, a pre-recorded message, a
page message originating from the FCCA, or a page message
originating from a fire fighter’s telephone and patched through to the
SIGA Channel 2 audio riser, which is associated with the SIGA-CC2
module.
FCCA Channel 2 “OTHER AREAS” are areas of the building defined
as all locations not included in the FCCA Channel 1 “FIRE AREA.”
This location receives the signal present on PCB A, FCCA Channel 2,
which may be one of 15 tones, a pre-recorded message, a page message
originating from the FCCA-4/6, or a page message originating from a
fire fighter’s telephone and patched through to the FCCA Channel 2
audio riser. The FCCA Channel 2 “OTHER AREA” signal is
distributed throughout the building on riser A which is associated with
the traditional cards: ZB8-2, ZB8-5, or ZB8-8. With Signature Series,
the “other area” will receive signals present on SIGA Channel 1, which
may be one of 15 tones, a pre-recorded message, a page message
originating from the FCCA, or a page message originating from a fire
fighter's telephone and patched through to the SIGA Channel 1 audio
riser, which is associated with the SIGA-CC2 module.
The two (FCCA-4) or four (FCCA-6) additional areas simultaneously
receive special purpose tones/messages, as programmed into the
network. Phone and MIC page switches are provided for areas #3 - #6
to manually override the programmed messages with live voice
announcement.
TONE and TAPE signals may be automatically or manually activated.
MIC and PHONE PAGE are both manually activated. Speaker and fire
fighter’s telephone circuit supervision and selection are performed by
M500C control modules, RZB12-6, or UIO-12 remote zone modules,
or traditional “ZB” series zone modules. Dual channel switching can
only be done with an RZB12-6 or a “ZB” series zone modules. With
Signature Series, the SIGA-CC2, an analog addressable device, can be
used to connect up to two signal risers (riser 1 and riser 2). It does not
provide supervision of the riser. Upon command from the loop
controller, the SIGA-CC2 can connect the Notification Appliance
