The FMR-1000-RCMD is a four-conductor LCD annunciator with system control capability for FCP-1000 fire panels. The annunciator shows the equivalent LEDs and LCD display. The annunciator includes a piezo sounder, navigation buttons, and operation keys for drill, reset, silence, and acknowledge. The navigation functions and the acknowledge key are accessible without restriction- even when wearing fireman gloves. The keys for reset, silence or drill can be enabled and disabled by the device key lock. The key lock can be disabled to provide full access to the controls.
Functions | Display
The Remote Command Center uses an 80-character (4 lines x 20 characters) wide viewing-angle LCD display. The display includes a long-life LED backlight. The backlight is controlled by the panel, or locally turned on upon any key press and turned off after a 30 s timeout without key press. Even when AC power is lost, the LED backlight is still turned on if a user is operating the keypad.
System Normal
When no alarms or troubles exist in the system, the Power LED lights steadily, and no other LEDs are lit. The LCD display shows two banner lines, the system status line, and the date and time.
System Off-normal
If any off-normal condition exists, the panel displays the number of off-normal conditions classified in groups. Groups include fire alarm, gas alarm, supervisory, and trouble. The panel holds up to 255 events for each group at a time. Any restored event is deleted from the list.
Piezo Sounder
The Remote Command Center has a piezo sounder that provides audible indication of the system status. In case of multiple activation, the system status with highest priority is indicated.
Operation Keys
The Remote Command Center has four operation keys:
Acknowledge: The acknowledge key is accessible without restriction. During an alarm, pressing the key turns off the piezo sounder that is sounding on a annunciator.
Drill: The Drill key can be enabled and disabled by the device key lock. Drill operation is not available if any fire alarm or supervisory conditions exist. Upon drill operation, a Drill Start Report is logged into the history and, if so programmed, the report is transmitted to the central station. All unbypassed NACs turn on and play the patterns programmed for them. When the drill operation stops, all activated NACs turn off and a Drill Stop Report is logged into the history and, if so programmed, the report is transmitted to the central station. A system reset is automatically performed by stopping the drill so that the panel and all field devices restore to their normal operation.
Reset: The Reset key can be enabled and disabled by the device key lock. When reset operation is initiated, the piezo sounders and activated or silenced outputs turn off. All alarm, supervisory, and troubles caused by activation of SLC points are cleared. Then the control panel tries to reset all points that are in off-normal status. Not all system trouble conditions are affected by reset operation. Any input points remaining offnormal are re-indicated after reset. Reset operations are logged into the history and, if so programmed, the control panel transmits a reset report to the central station.
Silence: The silence key can be enabled and disabled by the device key lock. When the silence operation is initiated, the "Silenced" LED turns on, the panel goes into a "Silenced" status, and the piezo sounders on all keypads and annunciators turn off.
