LCD-80FC Instruction Manual — P/N 53244:B 5/13/2013 7
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 Indi-
cator 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 pro-
grammed into the control panel. The LCD-80FC also provides system status LEDs to display
Power, Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory and Alarm Silenced conditions. The LCD-80FC is capable of
performing local silence and local lamp test.
Communication between the FACP and the LCD-80FC is accomplished over a two-wire serial
interface employing the EIA-485 communication standard. Up to 32 indicators may be connected
to the two-wire EIA-485 circuit. The indicators may be powered from the host FACP or remote UL
listed, filtered, power supplies.
