FC18-FC1840-B Fire Alarm Controller (Linkage Type)

Overview of Product Functions:

l Complies with national standards GB4717-2005 "Fire Alarm Controllers" and GB16806-2006 "Firefighting Linkage Control Systems."

l Features an entirely Chinese Windows-style menu interface for straightforward and intuitive operation.

l Right-click pop-up menu provides available actions for current devices/events for quicker and more convenient operation.

l Large storage capacity, storing up to 3,000 historical records, including all events during operation.

l Suppose no operation occurs within a set time with no alarm, linkage, or fault information. In that case, the controller automatically switches to screensaver mode to extend the lifespan of the LCD screen. When an event or operation occurs, the LCD screen lights up, and the controller displays the event, which triggers relevant devices based on logical relationships.

l Equipped with 2 programmable input/output channels (Output: 40mA@24VDC, programmable for general alarm and fault outputs; Input: dry contact).

l Includes 1 sound and light control circuit (0.5A@24VDC).

l Comes with 8 multi-line linkage panels for automatic control or manual operation of essential devices.

l Group programming method to assign devices with the same function to the same group, simplifying logical relations and saving programming time.

l Maximum capacity for a single controller: FC18-FC1820-B (252 points), FC18-FC1840-B (504 points), with a network capability of up to 8 controllers.

l Network bus (FC18-BUS) with a maximum distance of 1000 meters.

l The loop bus (FD18-BUS) is two-wire and non-polarized, supporting a maximum loop distance of 2500 meters and a branch distance of 1500 meters.

l There are three user interfaces: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Different operations are available at each level, and they are password-protected.

l Plug-in terminal blocks with clear labelling for easy installation, debugging, and maintenance.

l Automatic device mapping feature.

l Adjustable detection sensitivity via the controller, allowing automatic adaptation to environmental changes for improved reliability.

l Supports both on-site and computer-based programming.

l Efficient coding and labelling debugging method, greatly simplifying setup.
