Ground fault monitoring (FM compliance)
F M
APPROVED
Customer sites covered by the American Factory Mutual (FM) insurance company
have special requirements to their fire panels. The basic FM requirement is to safely
monitor and detect ground faults, of all lines leaving the panel.
The FC700A has been technically adjusted to fulfil those requirements.
For FM installations, adhere the FM Approval mark to the control unit housing next to
the type label.
All modules are delivered pre-set with today’s functionality, so that when setting up
FM installations only, minor adjustments are necessary on some of the modules ac-
cording to the following description.
