FIRECLASS Fire detection system Panel Accessories Fixing instructions Doc. version 1.0 1/12 Installing the FireClass FC700 Series POS800/PCS800 Ethernet Switch Introduction This leaflet covers the installation of an Ethernet Switch (an optional accessory) on the following FireClass panels: FC708D FC718D FC702D FC702S (PCS800 only) Table 1 outlines the three Ethernet switch types available. The FireClass POS800-S and POS800-M Ethernet switches are used to connect devices (for example a panel and an AC repeater) with a single, redundant optical or metallic layer.   The POS800-S/POS800-M Ethernet switch has four 10/100Base-T(X) RJ45 ports that connect it to the FC-FI board, the primary graphical user interface (GUI) and additional AC/ DC repeaters. The switch also has two optical ports that can connect an AC repeater using a redundant (or a single) optical path if you require redundant wir- ing or long distance wiring. After you connect the Ethernet switch, configure it. Refer to the “Con- figuring the POS800-S and POS800-M Ethernet switches” section.The total maximum number of devices on the network is 254 and this is split between all devices (repeaters, the FC-FI board and Ethernet switches). For the maximum num- ber of LNET GUI repeaters, refer to the latest FireClass Express documentation.  The FireClass PCS800 Ethernet switch provides five 10/100Base-T(X) RJ45 ports that connect it to the FC-FI board, the primary GUI and addi- tional AC/DC repeaters. The PCS800 does not require additional configuration. Refer to Table 2 for limiting distances for each type of cable. Ethernet Switches allow the use of a dual power supply to provide backup power in the event of, for example, a component failure or a blown fuse. Note that there is one power rail in the panel.

The distance can increase if a switch or a repeater is used. CAUTION Before you install an Ethernet switch, ensure that the panel is isolated from the mains supply and it is not running on batteries. 2/12 Fixing instructions Doc. version 1.0 Panel Accessories FIRECLASS Fire detection system Installing the Ethernet Switch (POS800/PCS800) on a FireClass Panel 1 Slide the Ethernet switch (refer to item 1 in Fig. 1) into the slot cage holder (item 2). 2 Align the back of the Ethernet switch with the back of the slot cage holder and secure it with the screws supplied (item 3). 3 Prepare the power supply cables and feed them through the top of the slot cage holes (refer to item 4 in Fig. 2). Connect the wires into the terminal block on the Ethernet switch. Observe the correct polarity. If you require redundant power supply wiring, fol- low the same procedure. 4 Fit the other end of the cable to the FC-FI board (XT6 or XT7 connectors) using the con- nector supplied with the FC-FI. Refer to Table 3. Use both XT6 and XT7 connectors on the FC-FI board for a redundant power supply. 5 The POS800 Ethernet switch also provides a volt-free relay contact to which you can con- nect the FC-FI isolated inputs (ISOLIN 1, ISO- LIN 2) for fault monitoring. If required, con- nect a bypass wire from V1+ (pin 5) on the Ethernet switch connector to pin 4 on the same connector. Additionally, connect the wire from pin 3 on the Ethernet switch to ISOL IN+ on the FC-FI board and from V1- on the Ethernet switch to ISOL IN– on the FC-FI. Refer to Fig. 3. Use a minimum 16/0.2 wire (not supplied). Note: Using a volt-free relay contact on the Ethernet switch allows the panel to see faults which would otherwise go undetected (for example, a power port failure or an Ethernet port downlink). You can select situations in which the relay will actuate in configuration on an individual basis (see the section, “Con- figuring the POS800-S and POS800-M Ether- net switches”). Each Ethernet switch reports only faults related to its own ports. 6 Plug the power supply connector into the Ethernet switch. 7 Fit the fibre-optic modules into the Ethernet switch and connect the optical cables (POS800 only). 8 Slide the slot cage holder (refer to item 2 in Fig. 2) into the slot cage in the panel. 9 If the switch is a POS800, attach the fibre- optic holder (item 5) into the slot cage and secure it with screws (item 3). 10 Connect the metallic cables from the GUI and the FC-FI board to the Ethernet port on the switch.  A redundant cable is not provided. If required, use a minimum 16/0.2 wire.

If you require a redundant power supply, connect a minimum 16/0.2 wire (not supplied). 4 Connect the other end of the DC supply cable to the PMM800 board. Refer to Table 4. 5 If you require a redundant supply, use the other pins on the same terminals on the PMM800 board and connect to V2+ and V2- on the Ethernet switch. 6 Fit the fibre-optic modules on to the Ethernet switch and connect the optical cables. 7 Connect the metallic cable from the GUI to the Ethernet port on the switch.
