Specifications

Operating Interface Unit

The Operating Interface Unit (Model FCM2018-U3 or Model FCM019-U3) functions as the operating interface and central microprocessor for Models FC922 and FC924. Either operating interface unit provides multi-use capability for each end-user to efficiently 'Acknowledge' events; to quickly control the NACs of the FACP, and to permit a manual reset of the respective system. Detailed data about the nature and location of the events can also be displayed, via a backlit, 2" x 4-3/4" (5.1 cm. x 12.1 cm.) LCD screen and the four-way navigation push button at the top of the FACP.

Periphery Boards

The periphery boards (Models FCI2016-U1 and FCI2017-U1) serve as the main operating components for the 252 / 504-point FACP. Each module operates and monitors input-device identity; as well as controls the signaling-line circuits that communicate with smoke detectors and other field devices (i.e. – C-NET).

Specifications – (continued)

Power Supplies

All functions are supported by the power supplies (Model FP2011-U1 or Model FP2012-U1), which therefore eliminate the need for external power supplies.

Further, the 170-Watt power supply (Model FP2011-U1) and 300-Watt power supply (Model FP2012-U1) provide primary, 24VDC nominal power for normal operation to Models FC922 and FC924. Both power supplies are filtered and regulated. Model FP2011-U1 is rated at 6.5 Amps, and the rating for Model FP2012-U1 is 11.5A.

The 170-Watt power supply incorporates a 4.0A, non-resettable slow-blow fuse on the primary input, and includes a built-in AC-line filter for surge and noise suppression. Model FP2011-U1 mounts in the FACP enclosure, and there are no serviceable Cerberus PRO parts to be maintained.

The 300-Watt power supply incorporates two (2) 6.3A replaceable, non-resettable slow-blow fuses on the primary input and includes a built-in AC line filter for surge and noise suppression. Model FP2012-U1 mounts in the FACP's enclosure, and there are no serviceable Cerberus PRO parts to be maintained.

System Enclosures

The Cerberus PRO fire-alarm enclosures and their accessories provide a complete set of hardware for mounting all Cerberus PRO main-system and remote terminal cards and modules.

The hardware allows this Cerberus PRO system to be configured for a variety of applications, as well as for future system upgrades. Included in the enclosure series are back box and door sets; removable mounting plates and clear lenses, as well as blank plates for use with the enclosure doors.

All enclosures come with ground straps for the inner and outer doors, shield termination lugs, grounding lugs, and tie wrap lances for securing wire. All Cerberus PRO height-unit enclosures can also mount system back-up batteries up to 33AH in capacity.

Models FC922 and FC924 utilize a two-height-unit enclosure. The following components comprise a complete two-height-unit enclosure:

• One (1) back box, (Model FHB2002-U1 / R1)
• One (1) or two (2) inner doors, (Models FHD2004-U1 or FHD2005-U1)
• One (1) outer door, (Model FHD2002-U3 / R3 or FHD2003-U3 / R3)
• One (1) or two (2) clear windows, (Model FHD2006-U1)

Note: One (1) window is installed for Model FHD2002-U3 / R3 outer door, and two (2) windows are required for Model FHD2003-U3 / R3.

The approximate size for each two-height-unit enclosure is: 27.5" (70cm.) high; 21.5" (54.6cm.) wide, and 5.75" (14.6cm.) deep. The weight, without any attached components, is approximately 6.3 Lbs. (2858 g).

Additionally, the two-height-unit enclosure supports the following optional components:

• Enclosure trim kit (for flush-mounting)
• Battery bracket (to comply with seismic certification)
• DIN rail kit (provides connection between internal-system wiring and field wiring)

Optional Accessories

Digital Alarm Communication Transmitter (DACT)

The DACT is used to provide communication between Models FC922 and FC924 and with either a central or remote monitoring station. The Model FCA2015-U1 module mounts directly on the back enclosure and connects to the periphery boards. The DACT enables remote transmission of alarms and events via a public telephone line.

Releasing Module

The releasing module (Model XCI2001-U1) supports activation of releasing valves in pre-action / deluge systems (including double-interlock pre-action systems, or Sinorix® Engineered Fire Suppression systems). Activation can be event-controlled or performed by addressable manual pull stations. The releasing module is installed on the periphery board, and supports 'Class B' releasing circuits.

When installed on Models FC922 / FC924, the releasing module contains an integral manual-disconnect switch for releasing circuits. This essential feature protects the releasing circuits from accidental discharge during maintenance.

Battery Disconnect Module

The Battery Disconnect Module (Model FCA2032-U1) is specifically designed to disconnect the backup battery on the Cerberus PRO 252 / 504-point addressable FACP when its voltage drops below 19VDC. Model FCA2032-U1's cut-off capability prevents the battery from operating beyond its normal power level for basic system operation.

Hardware Migration Kit

Model FHA2056-series kits are specifically designed for the seamless transition of an existing Siemens FS-250 (FireSeeker) control panel into a fully operational 252 or 504-point addressable Cerberus PRO fire-alarm FACP, [FC922 or FC924, respectively]. Each shipment of the Model FHA2056-series kits contains the following:

• One (1) outer door
• One (1) inner door
• One (1) hinge-assembly bracket
• One (1) back plate
• One (1) inner-door bracket

Note: The five (5) items that comprise one (1) Model FHA2056-series hardware-migration kit cannot be ordered individually.

Network Module

The C-WEB network module (Model FN2001-U1) is used to network up to 16 FACPs, or one (1) fire terminal, via the C-NET system bus. Model FN2001-U1 is plugged into the Operating Unit (or an Operating Unit with built-in LEDs). Model FN2001-U1, which connects to a system input / output bus, has ground-fault monitoring, as well as an integrated degrade-mode feature. Redundant networking is done with one (1) network module per FACP [Simple-Loop Trouble]. There is electrical isolation between the system bus and FACP.

Remote Display Terminals

The Remote Display Terminals (Models FT2014-U3 / R3 and FT2015-U3 / R3) are remote annunciators that show the existing status of Models FC922 / FC924. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will illuminate for any given Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble Cerberus PRO-system event. A LCD screen will give details of the event in alphanumeric form. The display screen can be scrolled, via the four-way navigation button, to reveal additional events.

Model FT2014-U3 / R3 is a display-only remote annunciator that has one (1) button used to silence the local sounder. Model FT2015-U3 / R3 has three (3) control buttons for 'acknowledging' events, 'silencing' audible circuits and 'resetting' the system. Additionally, there are three (3) user-programmable buttons available. Model FT2015-U3 / R3 has an integral key switch that enables the control buttons to operate.

The remote display terminals are remotely connected to Models FC922 and FC924, via the RS-485 interface. Models FC922 and FC924 require the Model FCA2016-U1 RS-485 module to provide communication to the remote display terminals. Model FCA2016-U1 supports Style 4 or Style 6 wiring. Up to eight (8) modules can be supported on a RS-485 bus.

The remote display terminals require 24VDC [nominal] power, and the necessary power can be provided from this Cerberus PRO FACP or from another UL Listed, 24VDC power source.

Note: A Model FHD2012-U1 inner door can be optionally purchased in UL markets. The inner door mounts with the optional Model FT201x-series Remote Display terminals. Having a Model FHD2012-U1 inner door installed can assist in preventing unauthorized access to the RDT.

S-series License Keys

The S1 license key (Model FCA2033-A1) allows for virtual monitoring and control between a 252 / 504-point addressable fire-only panel and a personal computer. The S2 license key (Model FCA2034-A1) is a BACnet output, and is used for monitoring-only purposes by a 3rd-party system for life-safety objects.

The S3 license key (Model FCA2035-A1) is a combination license key that allows for virtual monitoring and control, as well as for distribution of BACnet (monitoring-only) communications. A four-digit personal identification number (PIN) must be used in order to prevent unauthorized access.

Tabular Annunciators

Tabular annunciators allow system events sent from Cerberus PRO addressable panels to be displayed remotely in real-time. The Model FT2008 series of tabular annunciators has 16 zones, and the Model FT2009 series uses 96 LEDs for 32 zones. Up to two (2) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be used per zone.

Tabular annunciators provide outputs for system and zone status, and are orderable in either black or red.

LED Annunciator Driver

The Model FT2007-U1 LED Annunciator Driver provides custom graphic annunciators on addressable Cerberus PRO FACPs. This optional system module provides 96 highly programmable outputs to drive LED indicators. There are 16 inputs to accommodate user-system commands: Silence, Unsilence, Reset, Acknowledge and Lamp Test. Model FT2007-U1 is supervised via a RS-485 interface. A maximum eight (8) modules are allowed on each RS-485 communication bus.

NAC Expansion Module

The NAC expansion module (Model FCI2011-U1) provides either of the following additional NACs to a Cerberus PRO 252 / 504-point FACP:

• one (1) 'Class A', or
• two (2) 'Class B' NACs
