Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance

If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
When starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
Ensure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
You may only set controls to normal function when the product operability has
been completely tested and the system has been handed over to the customer.

Testing the product operability

Prevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
If testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause
injury to anyone or damage to the building installations. The following
instructions must be observed:
– Use the correct potential for activation; this is generally the potential of the
building installation.
– Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
Inform people before testing the alarm devices and allow for possible panic
responses.
Inform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
Before testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.

Modifications to the system design and the products

3.3 Function

3.3.1 Overview
A distinction is made in terms of the function between the primary and secondary
sides of the FDCIO223 input/output module. The primary side represents the
connection to the FDnet/C-NET. Both inputs/outputs are triggered on the
secondary side.
The inputs/outputs can be used as follows:
Collective detector lines
Conventional detector lines
Control lines
Contact inputs

WARNING
The FDCIO223 outputs must not be used for extinguishing equipment.

3.3.2 Input/output module primary side

Communication
The communication with the control panel is performed via the FDnet/C-NET
detector line. Configuration is performed on the control panel.

Line separator
All FDnet/C-NET devices are equipped with a line separator.
The FDnet/C-NET device is equipped with electronic switches which isolate the
defective part in case of a short-circuit on the FDnet/C-NET detector line. The rest
of the detector line remains serviceable. On a loop line, all FDnet/C-NET devices
remain fully functional after a single short-circuit.

 Structure and function
3 Function

3.3.3 Power supply

The primary side (FDnet/C-NET) is always supplied with power via the FDnet/C-
NET detector line.
The secondary side must always be supplied with power via an external DC 24 V
power supply. The primary and secondary sides are electrically isolated. In
addition, any inputs/outputs that are configured as contact inputs are electrically
isolated from the 24 V power supply.

External power supply DC 24 V

NOTICE
No fusing of the 24 V power supply on the input/output module
Damage to the device due to nominal currents >2 A
To safeguard the device, the 24 V power supply must be protected with a fuse
of max. 2 AT.
The currents for both control lines are provided by the 24 V supply directly.
The control lines can be operated either with 2x 1 A or 1x 1.5 A. Therefore,
each control line must be protected with a fuse of max.1 AT or 1.5 AT,
depending on its configuration (internal fuses up to max. 0.7 AT).

The external power supply for the input/output module FDCIO223 must be
ungrounded and should feature short-circuit monitoring.
The external power supply must be monitored.
It is not necessary to use electrically isolated power units, as the supply is
already electrically isolated in the input/output module FDCIO223.
The fire control panel's power supply can be used.
Also observe the information in chapter 'Using two detector lines simultaneously
32]'.

3.3.4 Operation modes

The input/output module FDCIO223 has the following operation modes:
Normal operation
Test/inspection
Localization

Normal operation
The input/output module FDCIO223 is running in intended operation. The inputs
are monitored and evaluated. The outputs can be triggered.

Test/inspection
With test mode/inspection mode, the input/output module functions according to
how the input/output and fire control panel are configured.
Activation of the outputs in test mode/inspection mode will merely be signaled by
means of LEDs on the input/output module.
If the input/output module FDCIO223 is operated with a control panel FC20xx or
FC72x, no control outputs will be triggered in the event of activation of these
control panels in test mode/inspection mode. The input/output module FDCIO223
itself does not switch to test mode/inspection mode in this case. LEDs 12a and 12b
do not indicate any status.

30 | 72
Building Technologies 009122_h_en_--
Fire Safety 2016-05-04
 Structure and function
Function

The input/output module is meant to respond quickly in test mode/inspection mode.

Consequently, the lines are operated as follows in test mode:
With detector lines, the alarm verification is deactivated
With contact inputs, the filter time is deactivated
Error messages are transmitted immediately and are not filtered
Depending on the version of the market package of the fire control panels FC20xx
and FC72x, the procedures described are carried out either on the device or on the
control panel.

Localization
To enable clear identification, the input/output module FDCIO223 can be set to
localization mode from the control panel. Localization mode is signaled by the
yellow LED (12b) for the primary side status display.

3.3.5 Earth fault monitoring

The secondary side is monitored for ground faults regardless of mode. Ground
fault monitoring can be deactivated with a jumper. The setting for ground fault
monitoring always applies to both inputs/outputs.
Switch off ground fault monitoring if a safety barrier SB3 with intrinsically safe
detectors for potentially explosive atmospheres is connected.

NOTICE
Ground fault monitoring is switched off with outputs activated.

3.4.2 Configuration as a detector line

The information in this chapter applies to the following types of detector line:
Collective detector lines
Collective detector lines for areas at risk of explosion
Conventional detector lines

A short-circuit on the detector line is never evaluated as an alarm. The

functionality 'short-circuit = alarm' is not supported.

It is not possible to operate collective detectors and conventional detectors

simultaneously on the same detector line.

3.4.2.1 Collective detectors which can be connected

Different generations of detector can be connected to the input/output module:
Detectors on the collective detector line:
– Cerberus FIT 110 series
– MS9 fire detection system
– SIGMACON fire detection system
– AlgoRex fire detection system
– Synova 600 series fire detector
Special detectors on the collective detector line:
– MS24, AlgoRex, and Sinteso/Cerberus PRO flame detector
– AlgoRex and Sinteso/Cerberus PRO linear detector
– Sinteso/Cerberus PRO neural fire detector
– Titanus ProSens smoke extraction system (only with new resetting board
type E548/c, order number 09-20-5481)
– AlgoRex and Sinteso/Cerberus PRO point detector and manual call point
for potentially explosive atmospheres
Not all detectors are always supported by the fire detection systems mentioned.

Using manual call points

Some manual call points, such as the MT320C and FDM1101A-Rx, are supplied
without an alarm resistor. These manual call points only contain a switching
contact.
In order to ensure that these manual call points function correctly, you must
connect an alarm resistor RA with the following values to the manual call point:
RA = 620 ±5 %, P = 1 W

De-energization of the detector line

With product version ES 41, the collective detector lines are de-energized as
soon as the FDnet/C-NET is current-free.
With all ES versions, the collective detector lines can also be de-energized
individually (control panel-specific).
You will find more detailed information in the fire detection system documentation.

3.4.2.4 Connection of intrinsically safe detectors in ex-zone 1

Safety barrier SB3 can also be connected to the input/output module FDCIO223.
This allows intrinsically safe detectors to be operated in ex-zones 1 and 2. If you
operate the FDCIO223 in conjunction with a safety barrier SB3, the following points
must be observed in particular:
The line resistance must not exceed 50 (excluding the safety barrier
resistance).
If a safety barrier is connected to both inputs/outputs, both barriers must be
connected to the same grounding point.
Specific national requirements always apply when creating installations in
areas at risk of explosion.

If two safety barriers SB3 are used, a maximum of 32 devices may be connected
in total.

3.4.2.5 Alarm verification

To help prevent false alarms, the input/output module FDCIO223 features a form of
alarm verification that can be activated as required.
When alarm verification is activated, any alarm (1) that occurs will first be stored by
the input/output module. Then the detector line will be reset and powered up again.
Once the detector line has finished powering up, the input/output module will
continue monitoring the detector line as normal (2). If the alarm recurs within
tV (70 s), it will be forwarded to the control panel. Once the monitoring window of
tV (4) has elapsed, any new instance of the alarm will be treated as if it were
occurring for the first time.

4 End of monitoring window

The input/output module supports alarm response times (tR) of 0…255 seconds.
To avoid false alarms, transfer to the control panel can be delayed by means of a
setting. In theory, a delay time of 10…250 seconds can be set. However, in
practice the actual setting range will depend on the control panel and the alarm
response time. The permissible combinations should be selected when configuring
the system.

The permissible alarm response time may be limited by local regulations.

3.4.2.6 Monitoring
The input/output module monitors the detector line for the following criteria:
Alarm
Open line
Short-circuit
Ground fault (only both inputs/outputs jointly, no line-specific fault message)

3.4.3 Configuration as a contact input

The inputs/outputs of the input/output module can be configured as contact inputs.
The following configurations are possible:

Status inputs
Status inputs trigger a status change as soon as they are activated.

Danger inputs
Danger inputs trigger an alarm as soon as the input is activated.

Filter time
The statuses of the inputs are polled several times a second. The following
conditions apply to detecting a change in status:
The activation signal must be present for at least as long as the filter time (can
be set from 0.5…240 seconds).
The deactivation signal must be present for at least as long as the filter time but
for no more than 5 seconds.
The filter time is used to suppress interfering pulses.

Line monitoring
The input lines can be monitored for the following criteria:
Open line
Open line and short circuit
No monitoring
To facilitate this, resistors must be connected to the lines of the inputs. When a
short-circuit or open line occurs on one of the input lines, a fault message is
transmitted to the control panel.

3.4.4 Configuration as a control line

3.4.4.1 Overview
Current limiting
Within the context of control, the secondary side external supply voltage (DC 24 V)
is applied directly to the relevant output for the control lines via a relay. In the
input/output module FDCIO223, internal fuses (0.7 AT self-resetting fuses: PTCs)
are present on the control lines.
Protect the contacts either with the internal fuses (max. 0.7 AT) or with fuses
provided by the customer (1 AT or 1.5 AT), coupled with bridging the internal fuses
to jumper 3 (see chapter 'Printed circuit board view [ 21]'). The jumper
configuration is described in chapter 'Adjustment elements [ 27]'.
The maximum current load of the outputs is 1 A if two outputs are used (2x 1 A) or
1.5 A (1x 1.5 A) if one output is used. These values apply to a maximum operating
temperature of 60 °C.

Monitoring
You have the option of monitoring the control line. Monitored control lines are
monitored for the following criteria:
Open line
Short-circuit
Ground fault (only both inputs/outputs jointly, no line-specific fault message)

Recommendation: Always operate the control line in monitored mode.

The control line is not monitored in the triggered state.

To avoid false alarms, transfer to the control panel can be delayed by means of a
setting. In theory, a delay time of 0.5…240 seconds can be set. However, in
practice the actual setting range will depend on the control panel.

Monitoring can be configured in accordance with the following types:

Identical-polarity monitoring
Reverse-polarity monitoring
The monitoring voltage is set by means of jumpers.

Control
Control is possible with or without confirmation. The various configuration options
are described in the next two sections.

3.4.4.2 Identical-polarity monitoring

With this type of monitoring, the connected load's internal resistance is monitored.
As a result, no monitoring resistors need to be installed. Calibration is only possible
with the push button.

2 External fuse on the output (1 AT or 1.5 AT)

The maximum monitoring voltage is 4 V. Use reverse-polarity monitoring if the

load to be monitored responds at 4 V.

Calibration of load resistances

To ensure that any load resistances (particularly those associated with coils) can
be monitored without any problems, the connected line must be calibrated during
commissioning. During calibration, the load resistance and the line resistance are
measured and stored as reference values.
The calibration process is initiated by pressing the push button on the input/output
module. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the input/output
module adopts the operating mode. This is indicated by the input/output LEDs. The
LEDs also indicate if the calibration process has failed.
With identical-polarity inverse control, the calibration process can only be
performed if the relays have dropped out. Therefore, control must be activated
following configuration so that the relay will drop out.

With this type of monitoring, the control voltage polarity is reversed in relation to
that of the monitoring voltage. The monitoring resistor is 3.3 k and parallel with
the load. The load must be isolated from the monitoring voltage by means of a
diode.
Reverse-polarity monitoring must always be used in the case of electronic loads.

3.4.4.4 Control without confirmation

Configuration
The following configurations are supported in the case of control without
confirmation:
Once activated, the control remains permanently active
Once activated, the control only remains active for a certain time. How long the
contact remains active can be configured (pulse duration).
Once activated, the control remains astable (symmetrical pulse pattern of 1 s).
NOTICE! This configuration is not designed for continuous operation.
With line monitoring
Without line monitoring
Behavior in the event of an error

If used as a monitored output (FC20xx/FC72x: 'Fire Control Group'):

Failsafe behavior when the detector line is current-free or in degraded mode
operation (e.g., in case of a failure of the processor in the control panel).
The error behavior defines the position of the output in the event of an error:
– Output remains in the same position as before the error
– Output is activated in case of an error
– Output is deactivated in case of an error
– Output is deactivated in case of an error or remains in the previously
defined state and responds to the 'Degraded mode horn' signal like other
sounders on the detector line
Observe the behavior for different product versions of the device:
Devices with ES 45: The output is deactivated and follows the horn
command
Devices with ES 50: The output remains in the previously defined state
('freeze') and follows the horn command
If the output was activated before the detector line (FDnet/C-NET) was lost
and no horn command is received because the detector line is current-free,
the output is deactivated after 60 minutes.

If used as a sounder line (FC20xx/FC72x: 'Evac Control Group'):

Failsafe behavior when the detector line is current-free or in degraded mode
operation (e.g., in case of a failure of the processor in the control panel).
The error behavior defines the position of the output in the event of an error:
– Output is deactivated in case of an error or remains in the previously
defined state and responds to the 'Degraded mode horn' signal like other

If the output was activated before the detector line (FDnet/C-NET) was lost
and no horn command is received because the detector line is current-free,
the output is deactivated after 60 minutes.
The statuses of the outputs (active/not active) cannot be polled on the control
panel, only switched.

Control methods involving pulse patterns

Control methods involving pulse patterns reduce the service life of the relay
contacts on the input/output module. Contact wear is also dependent on the load.
Up to 300,000 switching cycles are permitted.

At one switching cycle per second, 300,000 switching cycles are reached after
approx. 3.5 days.

In the case of the 'Degraded mode horn' function, the input/output module
accepts the 'Sounder ON' command. This function can only be configured on
control panels FC20xx and FC72x.
The monitoring of monitored control systems will only be resumed 30 seconds
after deactivation.

3.5 Diagnosis levels

The FDCIO223 input/output module monitors its operation largely autonomously.
The following diagnosis levels are derived from the different control measurements:
Normal
Observe information
Replacement recommended
Replacement necessary
Fault
For details, see table below.
When an error occurs which impairs the correct functionality of the module, a
module fault message is reported. The module contains additional information for
addressing the cause. This can be displayed by the FDUD292 detector exchanger
and tester or FDUD293 intelligent detector tester for example.
You will find more information in documents 007227 and 009718.

3 Behavior in degraded mode

3.6 Behavior in degraded mode

Applicable for the FDnet/C-NET:
When the main processor of the fire control panel fails, the control panel works in
degraded mode operation. Depending on the control panel type, the fire control
panel can continue to perform the most important alarming and signaling functions
in degraded mode operation.

Behavior of control panels that support degraded mode operation:

Alarming is still ensured in degraded mode operation. However, in degraded
mode only collective alarming is possible. This means that in the event of an
alarm, it is possible to identify the FDnet/C-NET detector line but not the exact
location of the detector triggering the alarm.
When the outputs are used for control systems (e.g. fire controls), the outputs
adopt the configured default position in the event of a communication failure or de-
energized FDnet/C-NET.
Degraded mode operation on the FDnet/C-NET is not supported in the same way
by all control panels. The information in the 'List of compatibility' and in the
corresponding control panel documentation must be taken into account during
project planning.

6 Commissioning
The device is commissioned via the control panel. The exact procedure is
described in the control panel documentation.

NOTICE
Before commissioning the device, check that the configuration of the
inputs/outputs corresponds to the circuit.

Conduct a performance check once commissioning is complete.

Measure the current at the activated outputs.
If the input/output module is to be used for control purposes, the control lines will
need to be calibrated during commissioning.

6.1 Calibrating the control line

The input/output module must be connected correctly (inputs/outputs and
power supply).
The detector line must have been commissioned.
The input/output module must be correctly configured.
The relay must not be triggered during calibration. This is especially important
in the case of inverse controls (normal position = triggered)! Consequently,
control must be activated for calibration in the case of inverse controls!
1. Press the push button (3) on the input/output module. See the chapter
'Overview [ 20]'.
The control lines will then be calibrated. Duration: approx. 4 s.
2. Check that calibration has been performed successfully.
Once calibration has been successfully completed, the input/output module
runs in normal operation.
If the calibrated resistance is outside the tolerance range, an error is indicated.

The control line will be recalibrated whenever the push button is pressed.

7 Maintenance / Repair

7.1 Status query

Status query on the detector exchanger and tester
The FDCIO223 input/output module is equipped with the MC link (Maintenance
and Commissioning Link).
You will find more information in documents 007227 and 009718.

Status queries with detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 or intelligent

detector tester FDUD293 are only possible with devices of the 'Sinteso' product
line on the FDnet.

Status query on the control panel

Depending on the authorization level of the user and the control panel type,
different actions can be performed from the control panel.
Observe the notices in the control panel documentation.
Document 009052 applies to fire control panels FC20xx.
Document A6V10333448 applies to fire control panels FC72x.

7.2 Performance check

The devices are automatically subjected to a performance check during the self-
test. Nevertheless, it is necessary to check the devices on site at regular intervals.

Recommendation:
Check the devices every year.
Replace heavily soiled or damaged devices.
No other special maintenance work is necessary.
You will find more detailed information in the fire detection system documentation.
