INTRODUCTION The Model FCA2018-U1 from Siemens

Industry, Inc., is an Universal Fire

Protocol module that interfaces to a

Centronics parallel printer. It must be

located where access to the FS20

System UFP network and 24VDC power

limited output are available.

The FCA2018-U1 is required whenever a

logging printer is needed. It translates

the UFP messages into a standard Centronics printer interface. When used

in conjunction with the PAL-1, it provides a supervised logging printer meeting the

requirements of NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL 1076 Security systems. For NFPA 72

Local, Auxiliary or Remote Station applications any UL EDP listed Centronics parallel

printer may be used (See notes 2, 3, and 4 on Figure 3).

Features FCA2018-U1 features are as follows:

• Supervision of the PAL-1 includes paper out, paper jam, printer off line,

printer power off and printer disconnected.

• Can be connected to the UFP Style 4 or Style 6.

• Includes diagnostic LEDs to indicate failure of the UFP or the CPU. It also

has a power on indicator.

• Includes a reset switch in the event that the FCA2018-U1 requires a

hardware reset.

• Can be mounted on any smooth surface within 6 feet of the PAL-1.

OPERATION When a system event occurs, the Operating Unit sends a print message to the

FCA2018-U1 via UFP.The FCA2018-U1 is responsible for printing the message.The

FCA2018-U1 contains a buffer to ensure that events that occur at a rate faster than the

PAL-1 can print them are not lost.

The FCA2018-U1 continu-

ously monitors the

connection to the PAL-1

checking for any errors

that would inhibit printing.

Any errors that are

detected are communi-

cated to the Operating

Unit via UFP for annuncia-

tion. Restoration to the

normal condition is also

detected and communi-

cated to the Operating

Unit. Print messages that

arrive at the FCA2018-U1

during a printer fault are

stored in the buffer.

Controls and Indicators The UFP side panel of the

FCA2018-U1 contains one

reset switch, three LEDs,

one termination switch and

one UFP address switch as

shown in Figure 2.

A reset switch is located

on the top of the panel.

Pushing the reset switch

re-initializes the FCA2018-

U1 operation.

POWER (Green) Normally ON. When illuminated, indi-

cates that power for the FCA2018-U1 is

applied to the module.

CPU FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that the module microprocessor

has failed.

UFP FAIL (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-

cates that the UFP communication with

the FCA2018-U1 has terminated.

A three-position switch located directly beneath the LEDs on the UFP side of the

FCA2018-U1 is used to set the UFP network address of the FCA2018-U1.

PRE-INSTALLATION Before connecting either the printer, power or the UFP, the network address must be

set for the FCA2018-U1 using the three-position switch. (Refer to Figure 2 for the

location of the switch.) The address for the FCA2018-U1 must be the same as the

address selected for it in the FS20 Configuration Tool. To increment each digit of the

address, press the “+” button above the desired digit; to decrement each digit, press

the “-” button below the desired digit.The range of allowable addresses is from 001

to 8 (leading zeros must be used).

If the FCA2018-U1 is located at the end of the UFP network (Style 4 only), the termi-

nation switch must be set to ON. Otherwise it must be set to OFF.

Two terminal block covers are provided with the FCA2018-U1. Each comes as two

separate parts, a lower bracket which has a ¾ inch conduit opening and a cover.

Attach the lower bracket to each end of the FCA2018-U1 using four of the #10 nuts

provided in the FCA2018-U1 hardware kit. Reserve the covers and the remaining

hardware until the FCA2018-U1 is mounted and wired.

Mount the FCA2018-U1 to either the wall or desk where the PAL-1 is located. Use

the four mounting holes in the lower bracket.

NOTES:

1. The maximum distance from the FCA2018-U1 to the PAL-1 is 6 feet.The two modules must be in the same room.

2. For NFPA 72 Local, Auxiliary and Remote Station configurations, connect the output of the FCA2018-U1 to any

UL EDP listed printer.

3. The printer must support the EPSON FX command set.

4. For NFPA 72 Proprietary of UL 1076 configurations use printer SIEMENS Model PAL-1, a UL listed for fire Centronics parallel printer.

5. The printer is supervised for AC loss, off line, paper out, paper jam, and connection to the FCA2018-U1.

6. After loading the paper in the PAL-1 printer, turn off the power and follow the steps below.

• While pressing the LOAD PARK button, turn on the power to the PAL-1 printer. Keep pressing the LOAD PARK button for 5 seconds.

• Release the LOAD PARK button.

• The current setting will print.

• When printing is completed, the ON LINE indicator will be lit. If the ON LINE indicator is not lit, press the ON LINE button.

WIRING

Remove all system power before installation, first battery then AC. (To power up,

connect the AC first, then the battery.)

The PAL-1 is connected to the FCA2018-U1 with a standard PC printer cable. This

cable is supplied with the FCA2018-U1. Connect the PAL-1 to the FCA2018-U1 using

this cable. The two ends of the cable are different, ensuring proper connection. See

Figure 4.

The FCA2018-U1 requires 24VDC to operate.This power is available on the Aux

PowerTerminal (X1001) on the FS20 Periboard. See Figure 5 for wiring details.
