Introduction—FC-2000 Introduction 3
Introduction
The FC-2000 is an expandable multi-zone microprocessor based
intelligent fire alarm control panel designed for use in commercial,
industrial, and institutional applications. It functions in accordance with
the following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards for
Protective Signaling Systems: 71--Central Station, 72--Local,
72--Auxiliary, 72--Remote Station, 72--Proprietary. The FC-2000 was
tested as a Fire Protective Signaling System Control Unit under
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Standard for Safety number UL 864, sixth
edition. Factory Mutual (FM) approval pending.
A typical FC-2000 control panel is illustrated in Figure 1; your system
may have more or fewer modules depending on your requirements. All
systems have a Central Processor Unit (CPU) Module, located in the top
left position, and at least one initiating module. There may be up to
fourteen additional modules (initiating, indicating, and/or control)
installed in various combinations and positions. The function of the
various FC-2000 modules are discussed in this document.
The FC-2000 is available in four cabinet sizes (CAB-A3, CAB-B3,
CAB-C3, and CAB-D3) having one to four module rows respectively.
One possible module configuration for a “B” size cabinet is shown in
Figure 1. The basic system requires a CPU-2000 module (top left
position) and one Initiating Zone Module (IZM-8). Additional modules
are optional.
