Faraday FDLC FARADAY DEVICE LOOP CARD

Installation Instructions and Wiring for NO FDLC Faraday Device Loop Card The Faraday Device Loop Card FDLC is the driver for the Faraday X1 Addressable detectors manual stations monitor devices and control devices used on the MPC 6000 and MPC Fire Alarm System Control Units The FDLC contains 9 LEDs for diagnosis of problems The FDLC initializes operates and maintains all devices residing on the loop The FDLC all relevant device and event information such as alarms and troubles to the Main Board The sensitivity of any intelligent smoke detector and the logic functions of any intelligent devices can be checked and adjusted from the system display and keypad All information about devices on the loop can be displayed on the system display The FDLC allows the system polarity devices to be connected without generating errors FDLC supports one loop of 252 Faraday X1 intelligent field devices 252 addresses as well as accessories relay bases audible bases and remote lamps in any combination The on board provides the FDLC with the ability to function and initiate alarm conditions even if the board microprocessor fails FDLC contains one reset switch and 9 LEDs as shown in Figure 1 Pushing the RESET switch re the FDLC operation 1 315 447360FA 1 1 OF 4 OFF LEDs functions are defined as follows Function OFF FAIL OFF FAULT OFF A RTN A OPN OFF OFF OFF FAIL OFF ON SUPPLIED Driver Board 1 Sheet illuminated indicates that the FDLC detected an alarm illuminated indicates that the FDLC detected a trouble on its field wiring illuminated indicates that the between the main board and FDLC has terminated and the card goes degrade mode illuminated indicates that the FDLC detected either a negative or positive fault on its field loop wiring illuminated indicates a return wire on loop is reversed if the loop was set to A illuminated indicates a wire is open on loop if the loop was set to Class A illuminated indicates a wire short in loop wiring illuminated indicates the card has failed illuminated indicates the power for the is applied to the card following table gives the currents necessary for power supply and battery calculations Voltage Current V DC A Current in Shorted Condition 0.375 A Driver Board s Mounting on MPC 6000 or MPC 7000 FACP Place the provided standoffs P N 375 F943165 in locations shown on the Main Board four for the and eight for the MPC 7000 Carefully align connector J1 on the Loop Driver Board with connector J9 on the MPC 6000 Main P N MPC6 MB or with connectors J9 and J14 on the MPC 7000 Main Board P N MPC7 315 447360FA 1 2 OF 4 Driver Boards Driver Board s Mounting on LEM 1 Loop Expansion Board Place the provided standoffs P N 375 F943165 in locations shown on the LEM 1 Loop Expansion four for each FDLC Loop Driver Board Carefully align connector J1 on the Loop Driver Board with connector J1 on the LEM 1 Loop Board for Expansion Loop 3 and or with connector J2 on the LEM 1 Loop Expansion for Expansion Loop 4 Driver Board 3 Driver Board 4 Expansion Board BATTERY and AC prior to working on equipment FDLC supports only Faraday X1 intelligent devices The compatibility identifiers for the devices are the model numbers listed in Appendix B of the MPC 6000 MPC 7000 Manual P N 315 447309 Use any combination of those listed FDLC supports one loop of up to 252 Faraday X1 intelligent field devices circuits are power limited to NFPA 70 per NEC 760 The FDLC supports the use of 18 AWG non shielded non twisted thermoplastic fixture wire without conduit if permitted by local codes end of line device is required circuit resistance must not exceed 50 ohms when 252 devices are loaded into one zone to the Line Resistance Graph capacitance is not allowed on Class A loops between line and line between line and chassis 315 447360FA 1 3 OF 4 RESISTANCE GRAPH Number of Devices Per Loop LINE RESISTANCE vs MAX NUMBER OF DEVICES The total number of devices can not exceed 252 line resistance of each loop can also be calculated by using R 1260 N is line resistance and N is the number of devices in the loop 315 447360FA 1 4 OF 4
