Description

Designed for use in a Siemens Modular (or FireFinder XLS) fire-alarm control panel, Model FCM-6 is an option module that provides manual control of building HVAC system fans, motors, and dampers. Each FCM-6 module provides six (6) sets of three (3) push-button switches for manual system control. Each switch has three (3) associated LEDs to indicate Fan / Damper / Motor status: OFF (Red LED); ON (Green LED) and TROUBLE (Yellow LED). When in the automatic position, the red and green LEDs indicate Fan / Damper / Motor status (On or Off) based on the system logic that can be programmed to automatically control the fan outputs. When manually switched to the OFF position, the red LED will flash indicating that the output circuit used to turn off the Fan / Damper / Motor has activated. The red LED will light solid-red to indicate positive feedback of the Fan / Damper / Motor actually turning OFF (via a monitored input). When manually switched to the ON position, the green LED will flash indicating that the output circuit used to turn on the Fan / Damper / Motor has activated. The green LED will light solid green to indicate positive feedback of the Fan / Damper / Motor actually turning on (via a monitored input). During system reset when switches are turned manually to the ON or the OFF position their associated outputs do not change state. They stay either ON or OFF based on the switch’s position. Outputs will only change state when manually controlled via the ON / OFF switch or based on system logic when switch is in the Auto position. Each Model FCM-6 is mounted on a hinged panel as a part of the Siemens Modular (or FireFinder XLS) command-console enclosure. Any combination of a Model SCM-8, LCM-8 or a FCM-6 module may be mounted on a Model ID-MP. A six (6) conductor cable is supplied for interconnection of the modules. A 30-inch cable (CCL) is available for connection between rows. Models SCM-8, LCM-8, and FCM-6 can be remotely mounted up to 1000 feet (304.8 m.) from the main enclosure. Models REMBOX2 and REMBOX4 lobby enclosures are required for remote mounting of Model SCM-8, LCM-8 and FCM-6. A Model CSB sounder is optionally available for switch audible feedback for remote mounting applications.
