INTRODUCTION
The FC430LP Series of Loop Powered Addressable Sounder/Sounder-Beacons
are designed to be driven from an FireClass controller via the addressable loop.
Tone, volume and flash rates are set in FireClass Console.
FEATURES
The sounder has four volume settings ‘High’ (90dB ±3), ‘Mid High’ (80
±3dB), ‘Mid Low’ (70 ±3dB)or ‘Low’ (60dB ±3).
The beacon has two flash rates ‘Slow Flash’ (1/2Hz) or ‘Fast Flash’ (1Hz).
The FC430LP Series have a built-in line isolator.

CABLING
Cables are to be selected in accordance with the system design document
and the requirements of the applicable standards.
The maximum section of the cable that can be connected at any one termi-
nal is 2.5mm
2
.The section is calculated based on the characteristics of the
cable and the load.
Cabling should be connected as shown in Fig. 5 ensuring correct polarity.
WIRING NOTES
The following notes apply:
1)
All wiring must conform to the applicable standards.
2)
All wiring must be free of earths.
MOUNTING
Installation to a flat surface using type ‘A’ mounting flange
To install an FC430LP base, proceed as follows:
1)
Feed the addressable loop wiring through the mounting flange cable entry.
2)
Secure the mounting flange to a flat surface.
3)
Feed the addressable loop wiring through the FC430LP base cable en-
try, then clip the sounder base to the mounting flange.
4)
Wire the FC430LP base as shown in Fig. 5 ensuring correct polarity.
5)
Fit the locking device (supplied) to the base, pressing it in until it is fully
seated. See Fig. 3.
6)
Fit the address flag to the detector. Fit the detector to the sounder base,
(the address flag will be transferred to the sounder base).
ADDRESS PROGRAMMING
The FC430LP devices have a default factory set address of 255, this must
be set to the loop address of the device using the FC490ST Service Tool.
The sounder is programmed with the address prior to being installed by
using the internal programming port (see Figs 1 and 4).
+
Note: When connecting FC430LP Bases to the FC490ST Service Tool,
it is possible a delay of 10 seconds until communication is possible.
+
Note: This device uses one address only on the loop.
+
Note: Once the address has been programmed, take note of the device
location and address number, to include on site drawings.
