Before installing the FC500MFI Module, cut off the power supply to the control
panel (the mains electricity supply and batteries should be disconnected). If
this is not possible, isolate the RS485 network by removing the "RS485" termi-
nal block from the main PCB in the master control panel.
Overview
FC500MFI is a Programmable Multifunctional Module designed for use in conjun-
ction with Fire Class 500 control panels, and offers the following options:
Ø connection of a RS232 port printer (SII DPU-414 model recommended);
Ø furthermore, thanks to the terminal block (see part number 5 in Figure 1), it is
also possible to connect other interfacing devices to the module type the Simpli-
fied control interface.
An FC500 control unit can control a maximum of 4 FC500MFI modules.
Component identification
In this manual, the numbers in bold between square brackets [ ] refer to the parts
identified in Figure 1 (these can be found towards the back of this manual) and de-
scribed in the table below

n Description of the indicator lights
The FC500MFI Module has 3 indicator LEDs.
YELLOW Indicator [1] This lights up in the event of malfunctions or problems
on the RS485 serial line of the control unit.
YELLOW Indicator [2] This lights up in the event of malfunctions or problems
on the RS232 serial line.
GREEN Indicator [3] This lights up when the module is powered correctly.
Description of the terminals
The FC500MFI Module has two terminal blocks [5] and [6]. A description of the temi-
nal block [5] is provided in Figure 2 (which can be found towards the back of this ma-
nual); the functions it offers depend on the operating mode of the Inputs/Outputs
(see "Minidip programming" in the previous section).
The inputs (I1...I5) can withstand a maximum voltage of 29 Vdc and are all "Monito-
red".
The outputs (O1...O6) are Open Collector (O.C.), and each one is capable of
supplying a maximum current of 100 ma at 29 Vdc max. in "remote inputs/outputs"
mode.
The power supply input (+V) can accept continuous voltages between 18 and
29V_

Minidip programming
The FC500MFI Module has a series of microswitches [7] which are used to program
the module in accordance with the information provided in the tables below.

After each change of address is necessary to disconnect the power and then re-
connect the FC500MFI module.

Connections
Figure 3 shows a connection example using 4 FC500MFI modules.
n Connection of the SII DPU-414 printer
Printout management takes place on a shared serial printer via RS232 with Xon/Xoff
protocol (printout management is totally guaranteed with the model SII DPU-414,
serial thermal printer).
All data received by the control unit via the RS485 network will be printed.
Each FC500 control unit can control up to 4 serial printers, by means of the
FC500MFI modules (see application diagram in Figure 3).
!
The SII DPU-414 serial printer guarantees total printout management. For
printer connection, use a standard serial cable Male/Female type
(DTE-DCE).
2 different printer operating modes may be programmed; these may be selected directly
from the Minidip [7] (see "RS232 Serial port programming" in the previous section):
Ø "Normal printing"
Ø "Advanced printing" with icons (mode only valid if the SII DPU-414 printer is
used).
!
Select "Advanced printing" mode ONLY if you are using the SII DPU-414
printer.
The FC500 control unit can monitor communication with the FC500MFI module:
when the control unit does not receive any messages in a 100 sec. period, a commu-
nication malfunction message will be printed.
The FC500MFI module can also detect the presence of a printer, using the
DTR/DSR exchange signals: if the printer connected to the module cannot manage
this type of signal, a short-circuit should be created between pins 4 and 6 of the
RS232 connector [4].
+
See the printer configuration on page 11.
n Simplified control interface
For this operating mode (see also "Input/Output programming" in the previous sec-
tion), the FC500MFI module connections must be installed inside the dedicated con-
duits, so that they can not be interrupted or shorted, as the inputs ARE NOT
SUPERVISED.
Use the I1, I2, I3, I4 and I5 input terminals to perform the following procedures (see
also Figure 2):
