Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the FPE-1000-SLC plug-in module, make sure to remove all AC and battery power from the fire panel.
2. Install the FPE-1000-SLC module with the lettering facing the front side of the control panel. Slide the plug-in module into the designated slot.
3. Follow the general wiring guidelines to avoid induced noise and interference:
   • Keep input wiring away from high current output and power wiring.
   • Observe the maximum circuit resistance of 50 ohms.
   • For Class B wiring, ensure that the total wire length connected to one FPE-1000-SLC module does not exceed 30,000 feet (9140 m).
   • The maximum distance between the control panel and an analog addressable detector or module depends on the wire gauge. Refer to Table 1 for the maximum wiring distances for different wire gauges.
4. To measure circuit resistance:
5. Disconnect the field wiring from the SLC terminals.
6. Short either the return wire in Class A or the end of the farthest device in Class B using clip leads.
7. Read the total resistance of all wires associated with the circuit. The maximum circuit resistance should not exceed 50 ohms.
8. The FPE-1000-SLC has different wiring styles depending on the specification:
   • For Class A wiring, use S1+ and SC1- terminals for outgoing loop wiring, and S2+ and SC2- terminals for return loop wiring.
   • For Class B wiring, use S1+ and SC1- terminals for the first stub wiring, and S2+ and SC2- terminals for the second stub wiring.

Notices

Use these instructions to install the FPE-1000-SLC Signaling Line Circuit in FPA-1000 Analog Addressable Fire Panels.

1. Install, test, and maintain the FPE-1000-SLC according to these instructions, NFPA 72, local codes, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
2. Follow the procedures in this document to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment. Failure to follow these procedures can cause the FPE-1000-SLC to not operate properly. Bosch is not responsible for improperly installed, tested, or maintained devices.
3. Failure to follow the mounting instructions in this document can damage the fire panel.
4. Refer to the FPA-1000 Installation and Operation Guide (P/N F.01U.173.607) for detailed wiring style requirements and complete programming instructions.

Installation

CAUTION!

• Electrostatic discharge!
• Ground yourself using a wrist strap or take other suitable actions.
• The FPA-1000 mainboard and FPE-1000-SLC plug-in module have static-sensitive components that could become damaged. Run the ground wire to the enclosure before handling the mainboard or plug-in modules.
• Touch the ground before unpacking and handling the mainboard or plug-in modules. This discharges any static electricity in your body. Continue touching the enclosure while installing the mainboard or plug-in modules.

DANGER!

• Before installing the FPE-1000-SLC plug-in module, remove all AC and battery power from the fire panel.
• The mainboard allows for the installation of two FPE-1000-SLC Signaling Line Circuits. The first FPE-1000-SLC is mandatory equipment at the top position on the mainboard.
• A second FPE-1000-SLC plug-in module can be installed as an option in the position below the first SLC board.
• The bottom position can be equipped with an optional FPE-1000-CITY City Tie Plug-in Module.
• The FPE-1000-SLC Signaling Line Circuits connect directly to the mainboard and are detected and supervised automatically when power is applied to the control panel.

1. Bring the plug-in module into position with the horizontal terminal lettering facing the front side of the control panel. Slide the plug-in module carefully into position along the guide rails (refer to Figure 1, Item 1)
2. Ensure that the connections seat into the slot properly (refer to Figure 1, Item 2).
3. Press down softly until the snap-fit hook locks into place (refer to Figure 1, Item 3).
4. Connect the earth-ground wire to the ground blade terminal on the right side of the mainboard (refer to Figure 1, Page 4, Item 4).

To remove a plug-in module, press the snap-fit hook carefully from left to right and pull the board toward the panel front.

Wiring

General Wiring Guidelines

Electrical energy from one wire can transfer to another wire producing induced noise that can interfere with telephone communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:

• Keep input wiring away from high current output and power wiring. Pull separate cables for high-voltage circuits, phone line circuits, Option bus, Notification Appliance circuits, Signaling Line circuits, and relay circuits.
• Pull wires from different groups through separate conduits. If you must run them together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use a shielded cable. Connect the shield to earth’s ground at the panel. High and low-voltage circuits must be separated.
• Route wiring around not across the circuit board. Wiring proximity to the circuit board could induce noise into sensitive electronic elements or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits.
• High-frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can be reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping the wire around a ferrite toroid.

Signaling Line Circuit Wiring

• The Signaling Line Circuit connects to analog addressable devices.
• Refer to the FPA-1000 Installation and Operation Guide (P/N F.01U.173.607) for:
•  listing of compatible devices
• detailed wiring style requirements.
• Signaling Line Circuits may be wired as Class A Style 6 or 7 or Class B Style 4 circuits. Class A configuration is recommended because this allows the system to poll the circuit in both directions, ensuring circuit operation in the event of a single break in the wiring.
• The Signaling Line Circuit is power-limited and supervised.
• No special wire is required for addressable loops. The wire can be untwisted, unshielded, solid, or stranded as long as it meets the National Electric Code 760-51 requirements for power-limited fire protective signaling cables.

NOTICE!

• Wire distances are computed using copper wire. When using twisted pair or sheilded wire, observe the maximum circuit specifications.
• For Class B, the total wire length of all branches connected to one  FPE-1000-SLC module (terminals S1+/SC1- and S2+/SC2-) must not exceed 30,000 feet (9140 m).
• The maximum distance an analog addressable detector or module is allowed to be located from the control panel (for Class A and Class B SLC) is limited depending on the wire gauge; refer to Table 1.

Table 1 Maximum Wiring Distance for SLC Circuits

Measuring Circuit Resistance

1. Remove the field wiring from the SLC terminals and short either the return wire in Class A (Figure 2, Page 4, left side, Item 1 Class A) or short the end of the farthest device in Class B (Figure 2, Page 4, right side, Item 1 Class B) using clip leads.
2. Read the total resistance of all wires associated with the circuit (Figure 2, Page 4, both sides, item 2). The maximum circuit resistance is 50 Ω.
