Technical specification
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The FC410BDM complies with the following:
product family standard EN50130-4 in respect of
Conducted Disturbances, Radiated Immunity,
Electrostatic Discharge, Fast Transients and
Slow High Energy; EN50081-1 for emissions.
Introduction
The FC410BDM Beam Detector Interface
Module is designed to interface FIRERAY 50/100
Beam Detectors listed in this document to the
FC Digital Addressable Loop (it must not be used
with other types of beam detector). The
FC410BDM monitors the Fire and Fault contacts
and also monitors for open and short circuits on
the connections between the interface and the
beam detector. For remote siting of the Fireray
50/100 an optional BTM800 Terminal Module
can be used with 4 core cable.
The FIRERAY 50 and 100 transmitter and recei-
ver units are mounted in the same housing.
The FC410BDM Loop Powered Beam Detector
Interface Module is contained on a double sided
printed circuit board (PCB) which is fitted into a
custom built fascia plate with a protective cover
being fitted over the PCB, leaving only the con-
nection terminals exposed. The fascia plate is
then fitted onto a standard dual-gang back box
with BESA fittings.
Features
The FC410BDM Beam Detector module is capa-
ble of monitoring and signalling the following
beam detector conditions:
Normal condition
Alarm condition
Device fault
Device wiring open circuit
Device wiring short circuit
Power wiring fault
The LED will illuminate when the control panel
has determined that the FC410BDM is in an
alarm condition. The LED pulses when the
FC410BDM is addressed from the control panel.
Wiring & installation notes
The following notes apply:
1 There are no user-required settings
(switches, headers) on the FC410BDM.
2 All wiring must conform to the applicable
standards.
3 All conductors to be free of earths.
4 Connect the wiring to the Fireray detector.
For FC410BDM typical wiring configurations
(see Figures 4 to 5).
