FC-60-2000: FireCell Wireless Door Control (Black)
FC-60-2010: FireCell Wireless Door Control (White)

Pre-installation

Installation must conform to applicable local installation codes and should only be installed by a fully trained competent person.

Ensure that the device is installed as per the site survey.
Ensure that the device is fitted to the side of the door that shuts against the door frame.

Check that the fire door is suitable e.g. self-closing, has a surface to fix to, and has appropriate clearance under the door to accommodate the floor plate.
The supplied ESD protection label must be fitted when installing the Wireless Door Control (WDC) on metal kick plates or uneven surfaces.

Any door closing devices used in conjunction with the WDC must conform to EN 1154.
DO NOT press the log-on button on a pre-programmed device, as this will cause communication with the control panel to be lost. Should this happen, delete the device from the system and add it back on.

Components

ESD protection label

Equipment familiarisation

Insert batteries

When fitting / replacing batteries; observe correct polarity, using only specified batteries.

Note; upon first power up the device will initiate a startup sequence, denoted by a series of low-pitched beeps and motor operations. This sequence will take approximately 15 seconds and concludes with three low-pitched beeps. Should the sequence close with a mix of high and low-pitched beeps, refer to page 13.

Add to the system – unprogrammed systems only

Skip this step If the device has been supplied as part of a pre-programmed system, as this will cause communication with the control panel to be lost. Should this happen, delete the device from the system and add it back on.
The device’s loop address is configured within the menu structure of the radio hub. It is recommended to configure the device to the system prior to installation.
Note; devices can alternatively be added to the system after installation. If this method is to be taken, it is recommended to note the device’s ident number at this stage. Skip this section and refer to the ‘Post Installation Configuration section on page 10 for details on the device’s ident location.
Note; if programming the FireCell WDC to a Fusion Loop Module, refer to the Fusion Loop Module Engineers Guide (TSD062) for programming details.
To add devices by logging on (pre-installation);

From Front Display Add New Device Select Desired RCC 01 Set Loop 1 . Addr 003 Add By Log On Press Dev Log On ‘press the devices log on the button, followed by Add Dev 03456 Y? New Addr L1 A003.
To Exit

The device has now been added to the Radio Hub and should be installed in its location. For further details, refer to the programming manual (MK98) for full programming information.

Free to download from www.emsgroup.co.uk
Note: the device can also be programmed utilizing the control panel’s cause and effects, as part of the building’s evacuation plan.

Assign device

Newly added devices must now be assigned to the system.
From Unassigned Dev Assign Device Assign All Dev 000 of 001 changing to Done 001 of 001 (once complete)
To Exit

Note: the device must now also be added and configured on the control panel. Refer to the FireCell Programming Guide (MK98) for details.

Position template against the door

If the device is to be fitted to a metal surface, e.g. a metal kick plate, the ESD protection label must be fitted. Simply affix the label inside the fixing template cut out, onto the metal surface.

Drill fixing positions

Fix unit to the door

Use all four fixing positions.
Use supplied fixing screws.

Position floor plate

Mark floor plate fixing positions

Mark all four fixing positions.

Use a small floor plate, if a bump stop creates a trip hazard

Drill floor plate fixing positions

Before drilling, check the locations of water pipes, gas pipes & electrical cables

Fix floor plate to the floor

Use all four fixing holes.
Use supplied fixing screws.

Open the fire door & depress the plunger

Post-installation configuration

Skip this step if the device has already been configured to the system

Ensure the device’s ident number has been noted. The device’s ident is located at the top of the device as shown:
To add devices by ident (post-installation);

From Front Display Add New Device Select Desired RCC 01 Set Loop 1 . Addr 003 Add By Ident Add Dev 01ABC Y? ’Enter the Device’s ident. ’Enter the device type Input Output Device New Addr L1 A003 .
To Exit

The device must now be assigned to the system. Refer to the ‘ Assign Devices’ section on page 6 for details.

Test device

Troubleshooting

In the rare event of an issue with the device’s operation, refer to the points below:

Is the device not releasing upon a fire alarm condition?

Check that the device is added correctly to the system and that it is fault free at the FireCell radio hub.
Check that the door closes freely when closed manually.

Check that the plunger has a minimum of 10 mm clearance between the ferrule and the floor/floor plate.
Check that the WDC’s output properties are set correctly within the control panel programming.

Why does the fire door not close freely?

Check that the ferrule is not worn or damaged. Replace as necessary.
Check that the plunger has a minimum of 10 mm clearance between the ferrule and the floor/floor plate.

Device not holding the door in an open position

Check that the plunger is depressed fully.
Check that the device is added correctly to the system and fault free at the FireCell radio hub.
Check that the device is positioned low enough for a good connection between the ferrule and the floor plate. The optimum plunger movement is 10 – 15 mm.

The device is tamper at fault?

Check that the device is fixed correctly to the door.
Check that the surface is flat and that the tamper switch is engaging correctly when the device is fixed to the door.

Battery fault/device not powered?

Check the polarity and the voltage of the batteries.
Check that the battery cover is fltted correctly.

Do NOT Press the log-on button on a pre-programmed device, as this will cause communication with the control panel to be lost. Should this happen, delete the device from the system and add it back on.

Device tone and flash indication

In addition to fault reporting at the control panel, the FireCell WDC has various beep and flash sequences to indicate a number of conditions.
During device startup sequence/motor operation

Beep sequence	Flash sequence	Indicative meaning	Action required
Low-Low-Low	None	Start-up complete	None
High-High-Low (repeated until resolved)	Red-Red (on the first two beeps only)	Motor fault*	Remove and re-insert batteries
High-High-HighHigh-Low- LowLow-Low	Red-Red-Red-Red (on the first four beeps only)	Internal fault (non-serviceable part)	Remove and re-insert batteries (If the fault persists, return to manufacturer)
None	Red-Green	Battery pack 1 low /incorrectly inserted (2x C batteries)	Replace/remove and re-insert batteries (as appropriate)

During standard operation

Beep sequence	Flash sequence	Indicative meaning	Action required
Low-Low-High (repeated until the plunger releases)	Red (on low beeps only)	Plunger fault	Check for obstructions to the plunger
High-Low-Low-Low (repeated until resolved)	Red (on first sequence only)	Internal fault (non-serviceable part)	Remove and re-insert batteries (If the fault persists, return to manufacturer)
High-Low (seven times, then door releases)	Red (on the first beep in sequence only)	The door is about to close†	Move away from the doorway

* Additional notification will be reported at the control panel as an analog value 4 fault – Tamper/ Input Fault (short or open circuit).
† Door closing can be a result of many factors such as a fire condition, a loss of communication, or a battery critical condition. Refer to the control panel for details.
