Battery Sets
The FC901 control panel can only use rechargeable sealed lead-acid batteries for back-up
power. The battery charging capacity for the FC901 is 12 Ah for Canada and 12 - 18 Ah for
US.
Remote Printer Module (FCA2018-U1)
The Model FCA2018-U1 is a Universal Fire Protocol module that interfaces to a parallel
printer. It must be located where there is access to the fire system’s serial interface circuit
network. Up to 2 FCA2018-U1 may be addressed by the communication circuit.
The Model FCA2018-U1 is required whenever a logging printer is needed. It translates the
serial interface circuit messages into a standard printer interface. When the PAL-1 is used with
the RPM (FCA2018-U1), the RPM supervises the printer for on/off line, power on, paper out,
paper jam, and wiring fault conditions, as required by Underwriters Laboratories for NFPA 72
proprietary systems.
Note: For printer connection, wiring between the RPM and printer must be in conduit
within 6 feet and in the same room as the panel.
AUXILIARY MODULES
Serial LCD Annunciators
The FSD901 Serial LCD Annunciator consists of a backlit 160 by 64 dot (7 by 26 characters)
LCD display, acknowledge, silence, unsilence, and reset buttons, a four-way button for event
navigation, seven system status LED indicators and a security key switch. To prevent
unauthorized system operation, the control buttons are only enabled when the key switch is
activated. The display and controls of the FSD901 are the same as those on the front of the
control panel. The backlight activates only upon active button press or when events are
present in the system to conserve power.
FT Series LED Driver/Annunciators
The FT Series LED driver/annunciator includes five options:
• FT2007-U1
• FT2008-U1 and FT2008-R1
• FT2009-U1 and FT2009-R1
• FT2018-U1 and FT2018-R1
• FT2019-U1 and FT2019-R1
The FT2007-U1 is a LED driver for use in graphic annunciators.
