The FC-4224 Fire Alarm Control Panel is a proven, versatile, four-zone control with space to accommodate an optional digital communication. It meets the requirements of NFPA Standard 72 Central Station, Protected Premises, and Remote (DACT) Supervised Station Fire Alarm Systems.
It is listed to UL Standard 864, has limited inherent power and meets all UL transient immunity requirements. The FC-4224 controls many features, provides a cost-effective approach to system design, and allows a great degree of flexibility in one chassis.
These features include: (4) Class B, Style B with two (2) Select Class A, Style Dinitiating Select two (2) Class B circuits together, StyleYor one (1) Class, Style Z notification device circuit, rated at 1.25 amps. The notification device circuit can be configured as silenceable or non-silenceable. DIP switches are used in programming, eliminating the need for a computer and associated software. A time delay water flow switch available for 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Controls are housed in a window, and a red stainless steel enclosure provides LEDs that display vital positions, functions, and allow access to switch control system operations. Surface mount enclosure, its ultra-thin profile (3 3/8-inch deep) is designed to blend in with any environment. Space is for two (2) B-7R batteries. The essential components of supervision, plug-in modules, function switches and backup batteries are provided.
Optional digital communications include a wide selection of transmission formats for most communications central stations. Other features of the communicator are: line positive indicators for both phone lines, "kiss" signal LEDs, dual "telephone low voltage detection" circuits with programmable event codes per format. The delay time required by the FC-4224AC power loss is programmable to control DACT operation.
An optional serial alarm driver allows remote alarm texting to up to four (4) FC-2866 remote alarms. Other optional modules include the FC-2880 I/O module which provides 34 pre-defined open collector outputs that can be used to drive LEDs or relays.
