9000-0007
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Check that you have all the equipment you need to make the installation. Follow the field wiring diagrams and installation notes in this manual.
Install the equipment in a clean, dry environment (minimal dust). Avoid installing equipment where vibrations will occur.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to drilling, filing, reaming, or punching the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides, being careful to separate the power limited conductors from the non-power limited conductors. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer and printed circuit board location.
Do not over-tighten screw terminals. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing, removing, or inserting any circuit boards. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS:
This fire alarm control panel contains power limited circuits. You cannot connect external sources of power to these circuits without invalidating their approval.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating device and notification appliance circuits. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% drop from the specified device voltage.
The installer must make sure that the wiring and devices installed in the system meet the current National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and all applicable state and local building code requirements.
Use the conductor size and type required by local codes. (see NFPA 70, Article 760). Wiring resistance must not be more than that shown on the field wiring diagrams.
To reduce errors and help in servicing the system, all conductors should be tagged or otherwise coded and logged at installation to identify circuit assignment and polarity. If the conductors are logged with a code, keep the log that explains the code with the manual, so that it is available to other people working on the panel.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune to lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. We do not recommend the use of overhead or outside aerial wiring due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the FCI Technical Support Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
To prevent the spread of fire, use proper patching materials to areas where system wiring passes through fire-rated walls or floors.
DO NOT RUN LINE VOLTAGE IN THE SAME RACEWAYS AS FIRE ALARM CONDUCTORS.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
An automatic fire alarm system – Typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible/visual warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capability – can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second floor smoke detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors – both ionization and photoelectric types – have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Audible/visual warning devices such as horns, bells or strobes, may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors or are located on another floor of the building.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time.
Rate-of-rise heat type detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-ofrise feature of each heat detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with this control panel.
Telephone lines required to transmit alarm signals from the premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.
While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire
insurance!
CAUTION
To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing
maintenance is required per the manufacturer’s recommendations and UL
and NFPA Standards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of
NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventive
maintenance agreement should be arranged through the manufacturer’s
local representative. Though smoke detectors are designed for long life,
they may fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm system or any
component of that system which fails shall be repaired or replaced
immediately.

1.0 FUNCTIONAL SWITCHES
1.1 BMFC Switches
Operational switches located on the BMFC basic fire card are as follows:
· Trouble Silence Switch (Fig. 1) This switch, when operated, will silence the System Trouble audible sounder. Upon correction of the trouble condition, the audible will sound again to indicate that the switch should be returned to the normal position.
· Battery/Bell Test Switch (Fig. 1) This switch, when operated, de-energizes the Transfer Relay disconnecting the power supply from the panel circuitry. It also energizes the alarm relay operating all local notification appliances from the stand-by batteries. Operating this switch will not reverse telephone lines or activate the city box output.
· Lamp Test Switch (Fig. 1) This switch, when operated, will light all red LED alarm indicators, all yellow LED trouble indicators on zone modules, and all Remote Zone Annunciators (RZAs). All alarm indicators are supervised.
· Reset Switch (Fig. 1) This switch, when operated, resets all zones from the alarm condition, as well as interrupting the Smoke Detector Power Output to reset the detectors. It will also cause all the yellow LED zone trouble indicators to light.
· City Box Disconnect Switch (Fig. 1) This switch, when operated, will disable the City Box Output and/or Polarity Reversal Output (JRR must be cut for Polarity Reversal disabling). The yellow LED above the switch will light, and a System Trouble will occur when the switch is in the OFF position, or when the control is in the alarm mode. The yellow LED will remain lit until the master box and the control are reset.
1.2 Zone Module Switches
Operational switches mounted on the zone modules are as follows: · Zone Maintenance Switch – Each zone has a maintenance switch. Operation of this switch will disconnect
the zone alarm output. This will also cause both a System and a Zone Trouble. Other zones are not affected by the operation of any one zone maintenance switch.
2.0 GROUND FAULT DETECTION
External wiring leaving the FC-72 is supervised for ground faults. When a ground is present on the external wiring the yellow “GROUND FAULT” LED will light and a System Trouble will occur. Separate positive (LED 4) and negative (LED 5) indicators are provided to determine the type of ground fault present. This will help when trouble shooting. To locate the source of the ground fault, remove each external wire from the FC-72 one at a time, then connect a voltmeter to Terminals 24 and 30. Normal voltage should be from 5.5 to 6.5 VDC. If not, check the field wiring.
NOTE: Terminal 24 of the FC-72 must be connected to an earth ground per Article 760 of the National Electrical Code. Conduit ground is not acceptable. Failure to make this connection will result in a reduction in lightning protection.

5.0 MUNICIPAL BOX CONNECTION
BMFC Terminals 1 and 2 are for the supervised connection of a local energy city box or solenoid. The alarm output on these terminals is 20 VDC for municipal box, and 24 VDC for solenoid. A “CITY BOX DISCONNECT” Switch is provided for use when testing and servicing the control. When the switch is in the OFF position, operation of the master box/solenoid is inhibited, the yellow LED above the switch will light, and a System Trouble will occur.
When a solenoid is connected, the switch will inhibit the alarm dry contacts from transferring on alarm if Jumper JRR DISC. is cut.
NOTE: This output is is fused at 4 amps. Do not exceed 3 amps. The output voltage depends on which device is connected to the circuit. A minimum battery voltage of 23.3 VDC is required to operate the solenoid circuit.
To connect the master box or solenoid, remove the 220 ohm, 5 watt resistor from Terminals 1 and 2. DO NOT connect this resistor to the master box or transmitter. Leave it in the bottom of the control cabinet for trouble shooting purposes. Connect master box or solenoid wiring to Terminals 1(+) and 2 ( – ). For solenoid, verify that R24 is replaced by a fuse, 4 amps @ 24 VDC. For master box, verify that field wiring does not exceed 35 ohms. For solenoid field wiring, refer to the table. Check with a meter before making final connections. To disable the city box switch, consult the factory.

7.3 Notification Appliance Circuit Wiring Estimator
Use the chart (Figure 5) to determine the required wire size for each notification appliance circuit. 1) Compute the required current. (Number of appliances multiplied by appliance current = amperes) 2) Compute the distance in feet from panel to the last appliance. 3) Locate the total appliance load (amperes) on the vertical axis of the chart. Locate the wire length (feet) on the horizontal axis of the chart. Find where they intersect. 4) Read the wire size in AWG on the curved line to the right of the point of intersection.
For wire lengths less than 100 feet, use 18 AWG minimum.

C. GENERAL ALARM — ZONE JUMPER CONFIGURATION
The zone jumper matrix and zone supervision jumpers should be configured in the following ways for general alarm zones. (For other configurations see Table 1, Section 4.)
ONE ZONE – When only one zone is used, the J10A jumper to the right of the zone (Zone 1) should NOT be removed. A diode jumper (1N4004) should be installed in position J3A.
TWO OR MORE ZONES – When two or more zones are used, diode jumpers should be installed in positions J3A and J3B. The J10A, J10B jumper to the LEFT of each zone should be removed for supervision.
D. WIRING U.L. Listed N.O. Detection Devices or 4- wire smoke detectors may be used. For FCI approved, U.L. Listed, and Multiple Listed 2-wire smoke detectors, see FCI Addendum, P/N 9000-0427.
Class A, Style D Operation Remove the 3.9K ohm, 1/2 watt resistor from Terminals 37 and 40, and connect it to Terminals 38 and 39. Then connect field wiring per Figure 12. The maximum allowable resistance in the field wiring is 100 ohms per zone for the ZDM/ZDM-D modules, and 50 ohms per zone for the VZM module.
Class B, Style B Operation
Remove the 3.9K ohm, 1/2 watt resistor between Terminals 37 and 40, and install it in parallel within the last device on the circuit. Then connect wiring to Terminal 37 ( – ) and 40 (+). See Figure 13.
The maximum allowable resistance in the field wiring is 100/750 ohms per zone for the ZDM, 100 ohms per zone for the ZDM-D and 50 ohms per zone for the VZM. Prior to installing the wires on Terminals 37 and 40, read the resistance across the circuit. It should be between 3,900 and 4,000 ohms for the ZDM or ZDM-D and 3,900 and 3,950 ohms for the VZM.
E. OPTIONAL END OF LINE RESISTOR With the ZDM only, a Class B circuit, when used with 3.3K EOL resistor, may have a maximum DC line resistance of up to 750 ohms. (Not FM Approved)

F. ZDM TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
“ZONE TROUBLE” led IS LIT.
CAUSE
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
“MAINTENANCE” switch is in the “OFF” position. Initiating circuit
Remote alarm indicator defective, field wiring open or Jumper JRA, JRB cut.
Zone alarm LED defective
Place the “MAINTENANCE” switch in the normal position.
Check BMFC/ZMC circuit for opens. It should read between 3,900 and 4,000 ohms. (The reading will be between 3,300 and 4,050 ohms if a 3.3K EOL resistor is used)
Press the LAMP TEST switch on the BMFC while someone observes the remote indicator. If the remote indicator does not light, check the field wiring. If no remote indicator is used, be sure Jumpers JRA, JRB are not removed, or that BMFC/ZMC Terminals 36 and 41 are connected.
Press the “LAMP TEST” Switch; If the red LED does not light, replace the ZDM.
16.2 Verification Zone Detector Module (VZM)
The Verification Zone Module (VZM) may be used to replace the ZDM in applications where verification of alarm is required. Each VZM has an individual zone maintenance switch as well as a red “ZONE ALARM” LED and a yellow “ZONE TROUBLE” LED; placement of these is the same as on the ZDM (see Fig. 14). The VZM will accept FCI approved, U.L. Listed, and Multiple Listed two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, and normally open contact initiating devices wired either Class A, Style D or Class B, Style B at Terminals 37 through 40 of the BMFC or ZMC. Each zone is capable of powering a specific number of FCI approved two-wire detectors.
The VZM differentiates between two-wire smoke detectors and normally open contact initiating devices, allowing a verification time cycle with the two-wire smoke detectors. However, for normally open contact initiating devices and four-wire smoke detectors, the verification time cycle is automatically bypassed.
The Verification Time Cycle has a fixed time out, totaling 124 seconds. It begins with a 20 second presignaling alarm window, initiated by an active FCI approved, U.L. Listed, and Multiple Listed two-wire smoke detector, (indicated by the flashing yellow trouble LED on the VZM). The presignaling alarm window is followed by a 4 second automatic reset time, (indicated by the constant yellow “TROUBLE” LED), and a 100 second alarm verification window, (indicated by a flashing yellow LED). The alarm verification window holds the circuit in the presignaling alarm state, waiting for the first alarm to be verified. If a subsequent alarm comes in from a smoke detector in the circuit, the VZM will initiate a System Alarm, (indicated by the red LED). If a subsequent alarm is not received within 100 seconds, the VZM will return to its normal supervisory condition.
The output parameters of an initiating circuit with a Verification Zone Module are as follows:

IMPORTANT: Remove the test mini-jumper connector J2 after completing the test.
16.3 The Double Density Zone Detector Module (ZDM-D)
The Double Density Zone Detector Module (ZDM-D) provides two zones in the space of one. Each zone of the ZDM-D has an individual zone maintenance switch as well as a supervised red “ZONE ALARM” LED and yellow “ZONE TROUBLE” LED. The ZDM-D is not directly interchangeable with the ZDM; some modifications are required on the BMFC and/or ZMC (see Fig. 17). The ZDM-D will accept two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, and normally open contact initiating devices wired either Class B, Style B in both circuits (Zone A and Zone B) or Class A, Style D in Zone A and Class B, Style B in Zone B at Terminals 36 through 40 of the BMFC or ZMC. NOTE: When wiring Zone A for Style D operation, a Model V.E.O.L. must be used (consult factory). Each zone on the ZDM-D is capable of powering a specific number of two-wire smoke detectors.
NOTE: When using two-wire smoke detectors, ONLY FCI Approved, U.L. Listed (Multiple Listed) two-wire smoke detectors should be used. See FCI Addendum, P/N 9000-0427.
The output parameters of the initiating circuits with a ZDM-D module are as follows:

16.4 Sprinkler Supervisory Service
The ZDM module may be used for sprinkler supervisory service by observing the following procedure: A. Remove jumper J3A (or J3B, depending on the zone to be used) if there is to be no municipal notification for supervisory purposes. B. Insert jumper J4A (or J4B depending on the zone to be used). C. Connect a notification appliance (such as the HEM mini-horn) to Terminals 3 and 5 on the BMFC-6. D. Label the ZDM to indicate it is used for supervisory signaling. Thus, off-normal positioning of any supervisory switch will cause the notification appliance to activate, but will not cause a alarm condition unless desired.

17.0 REMOTE ZONE ANNUNCIATION
17.1 Remote zone annunciation with Zone Detector Module (ZDM) or Verification Zone Module (VZM)
BMFC Terminals 36 and 41 are provided for connection of a supervised remote zone annunciator with either LED or incandescent lamp. Should an open in the field wiring or annunciator occur, a zone and system trouble will activate. Connect as follows:
1) Cut JRA, JRB (on BMFC or ZMC) for each zone annunciated. 2) If an FCI LED annunciator is used, go to Step 4. 3) If an incandescent lamp annunciator is used, ensure that the corresponding zone(s) on the BMFC and/or ZMC is configured as follows:
BMFC – J31 (Zone 1) and/or J32 (Zone 2) ZMC – J11A (Zone 3, 5 etc.) and/or J11B (Zone 4, 6 etc.)
Install a jumper. Install a jumper.
IMPORTANT – When an incandescent lamp annunciator is used, only #1820 lamps (28 VDC/0.100 A) or #1829 lamps (28 VDC/0.070 A) are to be used. F1 microfuse, P/N 4300-0018, MUST be installed in socket W2 of the ZDM or VZM. (Consult factory for assistance).
4) Connect the annunciator common to Terminal 41 between Zones 1 and 2. 5) Connect the individual LED/lamp wires to Terminal 36 of each zone annunciated.
17.2 Remote Zone Annunciation With Double Density Zone Detector Module (ZDM-D)
Terminals 34, 35, and 41 are provided for connection of supervised remote zone annunciators, either LED or incandescent lamp. Should an open in the field wiring of an annunciator occur, a zone (Zone A or Zone B) and system trouble will activate. Connect as follows:
1) Cut W1 for Zone A, or W2 for Zone B (jumpers are located on ZDM-D).
2) Connect the annunciator common to Terminal 41 between Zones 1 and 2.
3) Connect the individual LED/lamp wires to Terminal 35 for ZDM-D Zone A, and Terminal 34 for Zone B for each zone annunciated.
IMPORTANT – When an incandescent lamp annunciator is used, only #1820 lamps (28 VDC/0.100 A) or #1829 lamps (28 VDC/0.070 A) are to be used. Microfuse F1, P/N 4300-0018, for Zone A, or Microfuse F2, for Zone B, on the ZDM-D MUST be installed. (Consult factory for assistance).
18.0 ACCESSORY ZONE SIGNAL OUTPUT
A. Alarm by Zone Output – Terminal 42.
This is to be used only with FC-72 series accessories, SRB-6, RB-6, etc. It provides a power limited 24 VDC alarm output per zone.
NOTE: When using ZDM-D module, Terminal 33 is used as alarm output for Zone A and Terminal 42 for Zone B. (See Figure 17)
B. Trouble-By-Zone Output – Terminal 47. This is to be used only with FC-72 series accessory, trouble by zone board (TBZ/TBZ-U). It provides a power limited 24 VDC trouble output per module.
NOTE: Do not connect any external devices to these terminals.

19.0 STAND-BY BATTERY CONNECTIONS
These (non-power limited) terminals are for the connection of sealed lead calcium (gel type) rechargeable batteries. BE SURE TO OBSERVE POLARITY. Terminal 43 is positive (+) and 44 is negative ( – ). The automatic float charge circuitry is capable of maintaining batteries with capacity ratings between 1.9 and 17 ampere/hours. The maximum charge rate is limited to 0.9 amperes.
If the batteries are connected in reverse, the panel protection circuitry will immediately cause the 6 ampere battery fuse to open.
Stand-by Requirements – To determine the size of standby batteries, you must first determine how much current will be drawn in the standby mode. Refer to the Battery Standby Calculation Chart, Table 2.
20.0 POWER SUPPLY
The output of this power supply is 24 VDC at 4 amperes and complies with U.L. Standard 864. The transformer secondary is fused at 6 amperes. Connect the power supply to a 120 VAC source. This connection must be to a dedicated branch circuit and mechanically protected. All means of disconnecting the circuit must be clearly marked “FIRE ALARM CIRCUIT CONTROL” and accessible only to authorized personnel. Fusing of this circuit must comply with local codes for over current protection, and/or Article 760 — “Fire Protective Signaling Systems” of the National Electric Code, NFPA 70. The transfer relay will automatically transfer the system to the stand-by batteries upon reduction to 85% or total loss of AC power.
21.0 FUSES
The standby battery circuit is fused as shown. A 5 amp. permanent fuse (F7) serves as main power limiter in the BMFC and a 6 amp. fuse on the PS-6 protects the power supply.
22.0 LOCATING A TROUBLE
All vital circuits of the FC-72 have an associated yellow “TROUBLE” LED which will identify the circuit in trouble. Refer to the appropriate section of this m manual for further instructions.
The following problems will cause a common System Trouble condition, but will not be indicated individually.
PROBLEM
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Power supply Module unplugged Remote trouble Supervisory signal
Transfer relay coil open
Check 120 VAC input. Check fuse on PS-6. Check green AC LED. Check all fuses. Check for 24-26 VDC across voltmeter terminals on power supply.
Replace the missing module or install J10A, J10B after last active zone.
Connect a jumper between Terminals 17 and 19. If the trouble clears, check the RTI and associated wiring.
Disconnect the wiring on the transmitter or Terminals 3, 4, 5, and connect a 220 ohm, 5 watt resistors between 3-4, 4-5. If trouble clears, check the lines for an open circuit. Check for open.
TROUBLE CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
If the failure of a component associated with the trouble circuits should occur, and field repairs are not possible, all initiating and notification appliance circuits will continue to function, but THERE WILL BE NO ELECTRICAL SUPERVISION DURING THIS PERIOD.
ZONE DETECTOR MODULES
Should a failure occur, a spare module may be used, or if additional zones are in use you may remove the EOL resistor from the faulty zones’ wiring and temporarily connect the zone wiring in parallel with a known good zone. Once you have removed the zone module from its connector, a System Trouble will occur.
Connecting J9, J-10 to the RIGHT of the missing module will clear the trouble but will not supervise any further zones.
NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE CIRCUIT MODULES Failure of one of these modules will result in loss of supervision on both notification appliance circuits. Both
circuits will still operate with the module removed, as will the Polarity Reversal output and the City Box output. If using BMC-6, Jumper J-11 must be in place.
The Main Power Limiter on BMFC-6 is independently fused by permanent fuse F7, 5 amp., Type 2AG.

24.0 PROPRIETARY SUPERVISING STATION SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The FC-72 control may be used in conjunction with Keltron Model DMP703 or DMP704 Proprietary alarm receiving units to meet the requirements for Proprietary Alarm Service per NFPA 72. Signals are transmitted for fire, trouble and supervisory functions over three (3) separate circuits.
See Figure 23 for connections for fire and trouble transmissions. Figure 21 contains wiring for waterflow and supervisory transmission.
WATERFLOW ALARMS Remove the associated Zone Module, ZDM, from the mother card and install a jumper across the two waterflow jumper pins on the module. Reinstall the module into the mother card. This will prevent the silencing of notification appliances during a waterflow alarm.
SPRINKLER SUPERVISORY Remove the associated Zone Module ZDM, from the mother card and cut the 1N4004 diode labeled “latch”. On the diode matrix at the right of the Sprinkler Supervisory ZDM module, move the program diode down one position from the factory installed position. Reinstall the module into the mother card. This will cause an output on BMFC Terminals 4 and 5. Connect a UL Listed notification appliance to these terminals and install the appliance inside the control panel if audible, or outside if visual.

25.0 FCI APPROVED, U.L. LISTED, MULTIPLE LISTED, TWO-WIRE PHOTOELECTRIC AND IONIZATION SMOKE DETECTORS
Only FCI approved, compatible two-wire photoelectric and/or ionization smoke detectors, which are U.L. Listed, and Multiple Listed for use with the FC-72 Control may be used. FCI Addendum, P/N 9000-0427 lists those models that should be used, together with the maximum that may be connected to each zone.
Manual stations and heat detectors may be added to the same zone circuit with smoke detectors. Operation of a manual station or heat detector in the same zone as a smoke detector will prevent the operation of smoke detectors on that zone.
All installation wires must be free from grounds, opens or shorts. Test each installation circuit wire with an ohmmeter before connection to the control panel. Ensure that the detectors are wired (spliced) in supervisory position per the wiring diagram.
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Proper gauge wire should be used. Each conductor should be identifiable to prevent wiring errors. For wiring between detectors, it is recommended that the wire be no smaller than 18 gauge.
Refer to the drawing mounted on the enclosure door for proper terminal connections.
GENERAL NOTES: To Insure proper installation of the detector head to the base, be sure wires are properly dressed at installation · Position all wires flat against the base. · Take up all slack in the outlet box. · Route wires away from connector terminals. · For system supervision – Do not use looped wire under the terminals. Break the wire run to provide supervision of connections.
WIRING INFORMATION Refer to the installation instructions furnished with each detector.
IMPORTANT: Any one initiating circuit should contain the same series smoke detector. We do not recommend mixing 301/SBS series detectors with CPD/PSD series detectors in the same circuit.
25.1 PSD/CPD Series Detectors
Different CPD/PSD detector/base models may be mixed and matched without restrictions. If you have installed a jumper between Terminals 6 and 7 to test detector circuit continuity, be sure to remove the jumper before installing detector head.
