Cyber security disclaimer

Siemens products and solutions provide security functions to ensure the secure operation of building

comfort, fire safety, security management and physical security systems. The security functions on these

products and solutions are important components of a comprehensive security concept.

It is, however, necessary to implement and maintain a comprehensive, state-of-the-art security concept that

is customized to individual security needs. Such a security concept may result in additional site-specific

preventive action to ensure that the building comfort, fire safety, security management or physical security

system for your site are operated in a secure manner. These measures may include, but are not limited to,

separating networks, physically protecting system components, user awareness programs, defense in depth,

etc.

For additional information on building technology security and our offerings, contact your Siemens sales or

project department. We strongly recommend customers to follow our security advisories, which provide

information on the latest security threats, patches and other mitigation measures.

OVERVIEW

The FCA2015-U1 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) Board is an optional module for the

Desigo FC2025/2050, FV2025/2050, Cerberus PRO FC922/924, FV922/924, and XLS/Desigo Fire Safety

Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular Fire Alarm System Control Panels. The DACT provides telephone line

connections for communication with a DACR (Digital Alarm Communicator Receiver). The DACT Board is

mounted inside the Fire Alarm cabinet. The DACT Board options are set through the control panel

programming sequence.

INSTALLATION ON XLS/DESIGO FIRE SAFETY MODULAR/CERBERUS PRO

MODULAR

For instructions on installing and wiring the FCA2015-U1 DACT to the XLS/Desigo Fire Safety

Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular panel, refer to the XDACT-ASSY Installation Instructions, Document ID

A6V10807278.

If a message indicating an XDACT firmware mismatch is displayed on the Operator Interface (OI), upgrade

the XDACT firmware as follows.

FIRMWARE UPDATE ON XLS/DESIGO FIRE SAFETY MODULAR/CERBERUS PRO

MODULAR SYSTEMS

To update the firmware on an FCA2015-U1 that is installed on a XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus

PRO Modular system, establish an Ethernet connection between the PC and the OI, then select the XDACT

module in the Zeus configuration. Next, select Build > Transfer > Module Firmware To Panel… in Zeus.

Select the XDACT firmware file under Firmware File, then set the Connection Settings as needed and click

Start Transfer to begin the update. Transfer Completed will be displayed in Zeus after the firmware update

has completed.

FCA2015-U1 WIRING

NOTE: The RJ31X provides a convenient connection allowing the DACT to be installed and removed

without requiring re-wiring and can be installed by the telephone installer.

NOTE: If installed in Canada, the signal receiving centre must not share a common communication channel

with the protected premises. A dedicated line must be installed for use only by the FCA2015-U1.

NOTE: Either of the two lines at X300 or X301 can be disabled using the Engineering Configuration tool for

the case where the dialer is connected to an alarm communicator that is capable of transmitting with

two separate technologies (ex. GSM and POTS). Consult the installation instructions for the

communicator to determine if it supports this capability.

NOTES:

•The DACT can be used with alarm communicators that also employ other transmission technologies

for off-premises signaling for UL. The DACT is limited to off-premises transmission for ULC.

•When using these alarm communicators, the DACT shall be configured for Contact ID.

•Refer to the Alarm Communicator Installation Instruction for compatible receivers.

•Wiring between the DACT and the alarm communicator shall be within 20 feet, and in conduit.

•All compatible Alarm Communicators shall be installed in accordance with their installation

instructions.

•A means must be provided for detection of faults on the communicator by the fire alarm panel, as

described in the installation instructions for the communicator. This is typically done by connecting a

trouble-activated relay on the communicator to an input switch module (i.e. HTRI).

•The TL300CF communicator must be wired as shown below.

NOTE: This relay must be listed to ULC S527.
