Remote Fire Indicator LCD-80FC Instruction Manual Document 53244 5/13/2013 P/N 53244:B Rev: B ECN 13-439
Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and understood.
Software Downloads In order to supply the latest features and functionality in fire alarm and life safety technology to our customers, we make frequent upgrades to the embedded software in our products. To ensure that you are installing and programming the latest features, we strongly recommend that you download the most current version of software for each product prior to commissioning any system.

LCD-80Fcanada.wmf Section 2: The LCD-80FC Indicator The LCD-80FC Indicator is a compact, 80-character, backlit LCD fire indicator designed for use with compatible FACPs (Fire Alarm Control Panels). It should be noted that the LCD-80FC Indicator display will mimic the FACP display. The LCD-80FC is capable of displaying English-language text of system point status including device type, independent point alarm, trouble or supervisory, zone and custom alpha labels programmed into the control panel.
The LCD-80FC Indicator Components • DIP switches control piezo enable/disable, transmit/receive mode, FACP selection, function switches and key-switch enable/disable. • Up to 32 LCD-80FC Indicators per FACP • Mounting options: – Surface mounting in SBB-3 (2.75" depth) or three electrical boxes ganged together – Semi-flush mounting in three-gang electrical box (P/N 10103) with a minimum depth of 2.
SW1 DIP Switch Settings The LCD-80FC Indicator • One Indicator - if a single LCD-80FC is the only indicator connected to the EIA-485 loop, Switch 3 must be set to the ON position to allow the FACP to supervise the indicator.
The LCD-80FC Indicator Typical Configuration 2.5 Typical Configuration The LCD-80FC Indicator mimics the FACP display, has full point-display capacity and requires no programming. Note that the FACP may require programming to allow communication with the LCD-80FC. Refer to the appropriate FACP manual for programming information. The LCD-80FC offers multiple indicator locations with the capability of Local Silence and Local Lamp Test functions.
Section 3: Mounting 3.1 Indicator Preparation The LCD-80FC Indicator can be surface mounted in a three-gang electrical box such as the P/N SBB-3 (2.75" depth) or semi-flush mounted in a three-gang electrical box, P/N 10103 or equivalent, with a minimum depth of 2-3/16". The LCD-80FC Indicator can also be mounted in three gangable electrical switch boxes connected together.

Section 4: Electrical Connections 4.1 Power Connections The LCD-80FC Indicator can be powered by the FACP (refer to the specific technical manual for the proper connection of the LCD-80FC) or from a remote UL listed, filtered power supply such as the FCPS-24FS6/8C. The power run to the indicator must be power-limited but need not contain a power supervision relay since loss of power is inherently supervised through loss of communication with the indicator.

Electrical Connections EIA-485 Connections The LCD-80FC indicator has resistors built into the circuit board at the In (Terminals 2 & 4) and the Out (Terminals 1 & 3) for impedance matching. There is no need for the installer to add impedance matching resistors. Refer to the following illustrations for EIA-485 connections from the LCD-80FC to the MS9200UDLS and MS-9600LS.

EIA-485 Connections Electrical Connections NOTE: 1. All connections are power-limited and supervised. 2. A maximum of 32 LCD-80FC indicators may be connected to this circuit. 3. 6,000 feet (1,800 m) maximum distance @ 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) between the FACP and first LCD-80FC, between each LCD-80FC and return to the FACP from the last LCD-80FC. 4.
Section 5: EIA-485 Shield Termination The EIA-485 circuit must be wired using a twisted, shielded pair cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms (+/- 20%). Do not run cable adjacent to or in the same conduit as 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 VRMS, motor control circuits or SCR power circuits.
Shield in Full Conduit EIA-485 Shield Termination 5.2 Shield in Full Conduit The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the LCD-80FC Indicator. The shield for the EIA-485 line must be connected to earth ground at the FACP (both exiting and entering the FACP) but must be left floating (no connection) at the indicator if it is the first or only device on the EIA-485 line. If a second indicator is connected, the shield leaving the first indicator must be floating.
