Model FEC 

– 6: 

 

An Engine Room Relay Controller can be fitted (model FEC-6) and any zone can be 
associated to that engine relay box. 
 
If there is a fire in a zone associated to the engine relay box - in auto mode it will 
automatically shut down fans, fuel pumps and/or any device attached to that relay box, in 
manual mode it will ask you to press the Ent key to start this process. 
 
When a fire is detected in a zone that has been associated with the engine controller (FEC-6) 
and the FR-4000 (MDU) is in 

Manual Mode

 the display will show: 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

When the Ent key is pressed the following will happen on the FEC-6:  
 
Relay 1, 2, 3 and 4 will activate. 
 
Relay 2 and 3 can be delayed by adjusting the trim pot (next to the address select rotary 
switch) marked Rel 2 and Rel 3. Rel 2 adjusts the time for Relay 2 and Rel 3 adjusts the time 
for Relay 3. Turn Anti-clockwise to increase time.  
Relay 2 Min time = 0 seconds, max time = 1 minute. 
Relay 3 Min time = 0 seconds, max time = 1.5 minute 
 
Relay 4 has a delay associated to it called the Eng Stop Time, which is setup in the Controller 
Menu on the FR-4000 (MDU). When the programmed time has elapsed Relay 4 will activate. 
Example: If the solenoid on the extinguisher bottles is connected Relay 4 and the stop time is 
set to 30 seconds, this would give a 30 second window for the fans and engine (connected to 
Relay 1 & 2) to stop before the extinguisher is set off. 
 
Relay 5 & 6 are associated with the manual extinguisher trigger cupboard door. 
 
If the extinguisher trigger cupboard door is opened Relay 5 & 6 will activate. Relay 6 will stay 
activated until the door is closed, Relay 5 will deactivate when the Mute key is pressed on the 
FR-4000 (MDU). Example: Relay 6 connected to the evacuate engine room light and Relay 5 
connected to a buzzer. 

 

When a fire is detected in a zone that has been associated with the engine controller (FEC-6) 
and the FR-4000 (MDU) is in 

Auto Mode

 the above will happen automatically.

 

 
Model FEC 

– 1: 

 

The FEC-1 is a single Relay unit, which could be used instead of the FEC-6 if only 1 Relay is 
required. Example: To turn on the evacuate engine room light. 

 
Model FR-100: 

 

The FR-100 has two relays Relay 1 & Relay 2. Both Relay 1 and Relay 2 will only activate on 
Fire detection. Relay 1 will de-activate when the alarm is muted while Relay 2 will stay 
activated while Fire is displayed on the MDU.
