FC410LP SERIES OF LOOP POWERED SOUNDERS AND SOUNDER-BEACONS
INTRODUCTION
The FC410LP Series of Loop Powered Addressable Sounder/ Sounder-Bea-
cons are designed to be driven from an FireClass control panel via the ad-
dressable loop. The FC410LP Series of sounders/sounder beacons consist:
FC410LPSYR
Sounder (indoor use) - red housing
FC410LPSYW
Sounder (indoor use) - white housing
FC410LPSY
Sounder IP65 (outdoor use) - red housing
FC410LPAVR
Sounder-Beacon (indoor use) - red housing
FC410LPAVW
Sounder-Beacon (indoor use) - white housing
FC410LPAV
Sounder-Beacon IP65 (outdoor use) - red housing
The sounder has two volume settings ‘High’ (103 dB ±3) or ‘Low’ (90 dB ±3).
The beacon has two flash rates ‘Slow Flash’ (1/2 Hz) or ‘Fast Flash’ (1 Hz).
The FC410LP devices are synchronised, but not synchronous with other
FireClass sounders (FC430SB/FC410SNM) and beacons (FC430SAB).
The first flash of the beacon is synchronised with the start of the tone.
The FC410LP devices have a built in two port isolator.

Address Programming
The FC410LP devices have a default factory set address of 255, this must
be set to the loop address of the device using the FC490ST Service Tool.
The sounder is programmed with the address prior to being installed by us-
ing the internal programming port (see Fig. 3).
+
This device use one address only on the loop.
