This key allows you to test the control panel buzzer
and the LEDs.
Access to signaling and
commands
There are four access levels, in compliance with Fire
Safety Regulations.
Access Level L1 Viewing:
All users can view the control panel status without a
password.
Access Level L2 Operating the system (PIN code
entered):
Password code users can operate the system at user
level.
Access Level L3 Programming and Opening the
Control Panel (Password Code entered):
This level of access is for installers. Therefore, only
qualified, authorised users are allowed to open
the control panel door. This requires removal of
the cover screws, for maintenance or to replace a
battery.
Access Level L4 Repairing or replacing the PCB:
Only the manufacturer can repair or replace the
PCB. This requires removal of the cover screws.
Users and installers features
About this task:
The panel can recognize and manage up to eight
different users and two different installers. At each
login of any user or installer, the panel logs the
login event and the user or installer's ID. The panel
also logs the return to access level L1 to indicate the
end of the user or installer's session. The default
passwords for the eight users are as follows:
USER 1
11111
USER 2
22222
USER 3
33333
USER 4
44444
USER 5
55555
USER 6
66666
USER 7
77777
USER 8
88888
The default passwords for the two installers are as
follows:
INSTALLER 1 00000
INSTALLER 2 99999
By default, only USER 1 works with its default
password. The other users are unavailable and
disabled. USER 1 may be enabled and available.
By default, only INSTALLER 1 works with its default
password. The other installers are unavailable
and disabled. INSTALLER 1 may be enabled and
available.
Only INSTALLER 1, using the FireClass FC500
(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console or panel user
interface, can modify the availability and enable the
status of USERs 2 to 8 and INSTALLER 2.
INSTALLER 1, using the FireClass FC500
(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console or panel user
interface, can modify the password for USERs 1 to 8
and INSTALLER 2.
Each installer or each user can modify their own
password.
When INSTALLER 1 enters the first password
through the user interface to a user or installer,
the system declares the password "available" and
enables access.
If INSTALLER 1 forgets their password, they
can enter a new password using the following
procedure:
1. Remove the two screws at access level L4,
open the fire panel, and remove the jumper J5
of the main board.
2. Access the installer menu screen.
3. Access the programming screen of the
installer password and enter the new
password.
4. The system stores the new password as
the current password for INSTALLER 1. The
user interface returns to the MAIN screen,
indicating local programming, followed by a
panel reset.
5. Replace the J5 jumper to restore the normal
program menu screen functionality.
Power supply and batteries
The power supply system of the FC503 and FC506
control panels complies with EN54-4. All models
are powered by the mains. The FC503 and FC506
have switching power supply that supplies up to 5.5
A at 27.6V. Both models can house two 12V, 17Ah
batteries that when connected in series, supply 24V
to the control panel and peripherals in the event of
a power cut.
If necessary, whether for the full configured loop
or for particular system requirements, a user or
installer can connect the FC503 and FC506 control
