Model FC901 is an addressable FACP that provides a cost-
effective solution for simple fire-alarm-system applications.
Model FC901 contains one (1) built-in DACT and two (2)
NACs.
Small and compact in design, Model FC901 is ideal for
small fire-protection applications using no more than 50
addressable points:
▪ retail outlets / strip malls
▪ doctors’ offices
▪ dry cleaners
▪ restaurants
▪ banks, etc.
The dimensions of Model FC901 (connected to a one-
height-unit enclosure) are approximately as follows:
16.25”[41.3 cm.](H) x 18”[46 cm.](W) x 5”[41.3 cm.] (D)
The weight (without operating unit or batteries) is
approximately 9 Lbs [4082 g].
50-Point System Enclosure
The Model FH901-U3 / R3 enclosure for the Model FC901
FACP is available in either black or red, and supports all
system modules. The enclosure also supports 12Ah
batteries.
Note: For systems requiring larger than 12Ah batteries, use a
UL Listed battery box.
When field-wiring installation is complete, the main board
shall be moved to the upper position for standard mounting
prior to applying power to the system.
50-Point System Enclosure (cont.)
The Model FH901-U3 / R3 enclosure for the 50-point panel is
comprised of a dual-mounting setup that allows the main
board to be partially mounted in a lower-to-upper position.
When temporarily installed in the lower position,
technicians are allowed more space to install field wiring at
the time of system set-up.
Additionally, the enclosure supports an optional battery
bracket (Model FHA901-U1) that can be used to secure
batteries up to 12Ah. Model FHA901-U1 is required to
comply with seismic certification, pursuant to ASC / SEI 7-
05, Section 13.2.2.
A flush-mount trim kit (Model FHA902-U1 / R1) is also
available for use when flush mounting Model FH901-U3 /
R3.
Remote Annunciator (not approved for use in Canada)
Used exclusively with the Cerberus PRO 50-point FACP, the
Remote Annunciator (Model FSD901-U3 / R3) shows
existing status of the Model FC901 FACP.
A built-in RS−485 serves as the interface between the
remote annunciator and the Cerberus PRO 50-point FACP.
Up to eight (8) remote annunciators are supported for each
50-point fire system. A 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) by 1.5” (3.8 cm)
LCD screen will show details of the event in alphanumeric
form. The display screen can be scrolled to reveal
additional events. Each screen supports 182 characters:
seven (7) lines with 26 characters per line
Remote Peripheral Module (with RS─485 interface)
The Remote Peripheral Module (FCA2018-U1) provides a
means of connecting a Cerberus PRO panel to a parallel
printer for creating a hard copy of system-status and
configuration reports. This supervised, intelligent module
contains built-in transient protection and plain-decimal
addressing.
Model FCA2018-U1 is remotely connected to the Model
FCA2016-U1 RS─485 communication bus from any
Cerberus PRO system enclosure. Model FCA2018-U1 uses
‘Class B’ (Style 4) or ‘Class A’ (Style 6) wiring, and provides
two (2) RS─232 (serial) ports and a single parallel port that
allow connection to the parallel printer (Model PAL-1).
When Model PAL-1 is used with the remote peripheral
module, Model FCA2018-U1 supervises the printer for On /
Off Line, Power On, Paper Out, Paper Jam, and wiring-fault
conditions, as required by UL for NFPA 72 proprietary
systems. Event and report printing is generated at the
operating unit on the main Cerberus PRO system.
