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.

CAUTION
Before you install an Ethernet switch,
ensure that the panel is isolated from
the mains supply and it is not running on
batteries.

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.

Installing the Ethernet Switch on a FC8AS AC
Repeater
To mount the Ethernet switch on an FC8AS
repeater, complete these steps:
1 Ensure that the panel is isolated from the
mains and it is not running on batteries.
2 Mount the fixing elements (refer to item 2 in
Fig. 4) with screws (supplied) on the Ethernet
switch housing.
3 Connect the DC power supply to the Ethernet
switch connector (refer to item 4 in Fig. 4),
observing the correct polarity. 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.
