3 Structure and function Overview 3 Structure and function 3.1 Overview Figure 1: Line separator FDCL221 The line separator FDCL221 is an electronic switch which is mounted on a FDnet/C-NET detector line. The line separator detects short-circuits and open lines on the detector line and disconnects the negative conductor in the event of a short-circuit. The area of the detector line unaffected by the short-circuit can continue to be operated.
Structure and function Setup 3 Mounting ● ● Installation in intermediate distributor or directly in a fire control panel Attachment options: – Directly on a U-rail TS35 – Attachment with a screw or cable tie directly on a wall See also 2 Applicable documents [➙ 7] 2 Assembly [➙ 22] 3.1.1 Details for ordering Type Order number Designation FDCL221 A5Q00004011 Line separator 3.

4 Planning Accessories 4 Planning Unique detector line topology recognition is only ensured if at least one device with a separating function is present between two sub-stub lines. In this case a line separator. Station FDCL221 FDCL221-M Figure 4: Line separator FDCL221 between two sub-stubs If several sub-stub lines are to be activated on one FDnet/C-NET loop, failure of large numbers of devices must be prevented in the event of a line short-circuit.
Planning Accessories 4 Rules for the branching of a sub-stub from a loop ● ● Only one sub-stub is permitted between two FDnet/C-NET devices. One sub-stub is permitted at the start and end of the loop respectively, between the connection terminals of the fire control panel and the first line device. ● If there is more than one stub between two FDnet/C-NET devices, a line separator must be fitted between the stubs.

Detector line FC20xx FC72x FDnet X – X C-NET – X – 1 SIGMASYS AlgoRex 1 X – 1 FC360 – X With suitable line card X = compatible – = not compatible You will find detailed information in the 'List of compatibility'. 4.2 Fields of application The line separator is required in a FDnet/C-NET, where several sub-stub lines converge at one point.
5 Mounting / Installation Assembly 5 Mounting / Installation 5.1 Assembly The line separator may be fitted in any position. Ensure that the line separator LED is visible after mounting. You can fit the FDCL221 line separator in various ways: ● Directly on a U-rail TS35 ● With a cable tie on the mounting hole ● With a screw on the mounting hole Mounting on a U-rail TS35 1 Figure 7: Installing the line separator on a U-rail 1 Pair of terminal blocks l Mount the line separator to the U-rail.
Mounting / Installation 5 Installation Mounting with mounting hole 1 Figure 8: Mounting hole in FDCL221 1 Mounting hole with Ø 4.4 mm Use a screw to secure the line separator onto a plane surface or use a cable tie to secure to a grid. See also 2 U-rail TS35 [➙ 17] 5.2 Installation ● Specialist electrical engineering knowledge is required for installation. ● Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work.
5 Mounting / Installation Installation 5.2.1 Wiring w Always insert a line separator before a sub-stub line. 1. Connect the line separator to the FDnet/C-NET. The pigtails are provided with pressed-on 2.8 x 0.8 mm flat connector sleeves in the factory. Cut off the flat connector sleeves if you don't need them for the connection. 2. Connect a sub-stub line to the same terminal on the FDnet/C-NET. The following diagram shows one possible mounting variant where the individual components are wired.
Mounting / Installation Installation 5 5.2.2 Shielded cable Shielded cables must be earthed in stars at one point (e.g. on the control panel). Cable shieldings must be linked with one another using an insulated micro terminal or connection terminal. The shielding must not touch any extrinsic earthing potentials or metal parts in the device.
6 Commissioning 6 Commissioning The devices are commissioned via the control panel. The exact procedure is described in the control panel documentation. Conduct a performance check once commissioning is complete.
Maintenance and troubleshooting 7 7 Maintenance and troubleshooting The line separator module is maintenance-free. It monitors itself and has to be replaced if damaged.
