The FCP‐300 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Communicator. The FCP‐ 300 has a single‐line circuit (SLC) loop for connecting addressable detectors and modules. The SLC can support 159 sensors and 159 modules (FIK device protocol). Additional SLC loops can be added using the FIK‐6815 SLC expander for FIK devices to increase the overall point capacity to a maximum of 300 points per panel. The FCP‐300 has the interconnection capability for up to 32 panels. The system has two modes of operation: multiple panels covering one larger building or multiple independent buildings. To network panels together, use the FIK‐NIC network interface card. Copper wire or fiber optic cable panel connectivity can be used within the same networked system.
