Installation Instructions and Wiring for

CAT. NO. FDLC - Faraday Device Loop Card

INTRODUCTION: The Faraday Device Loop Card (FDLC) is the driver for the Faraday X1 Addressable

smoke detectors, manual stations, monitor devices and control devices used on the MPC-6000 and MPC-

7000 Fire Alarm System Control Units. The FDLC contains 9 LEDs for diagnosis of problems.

OPERATION: The FDLC initializes, operates, and maintains all devices residing on the loop. The FDLC

communicates all relevant device and event information, such as alarms and troubles, to the Main System

Board. The sensitivity of any intelligent smoke detector and the logic functions of any intelligent output

devices can be checked and adjusted from the system display and keypad. All information about the

devices on the loop can be displayed on the system display. The FDLC allows the system polarity

insensitive devices to be connected without generating errors.

The FDLC supports one loop of 252 Faraday X1 intelligent field devices (252 addresses) as well as device

accessories (relay bases, audible bases, and remote lamps) in any combination. (The on-board

microprocessor provides the FDLC with the ability to function and initiate alarm conditions even if the main

board microprocessor fails.)

The FDLC contains one reset switch, and 9 LEDs as shown in Figure 1. Pushing the RESET switch (S1)

re-initializes the FDLC operation.

The LEDs’ functions are defined as follows: LED Function Color Normal Condition Action ALARM (Red) Normally OFF. TROUBLE (Yellow) Normally OFF. COMM FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. GND FAULT (Yellow) Normally OFF CLS A RTN (Yellow) Normally OFF. CLS A OPN (Yellow) Normally OFF. SHORT (Yellow) Normally OFF. CARD FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. POWER (Green) Normally ON. When illuminated, indicates that the FDLC has detected an alarm.
