DESCRIPTION
The FC-73 Series Fire Alarm Control
panel is a proven, versatile conventional
zoned unit which meets the requirements
of NFPA Standard 72 for Central Station,
Supervision of vital components, modules,
functional switches, and standby batter-
ies is provided.
Protected Premises, Auxiliary, Remote
and Proprietary Supervising Station Fire
Alarm Systems. It is listed to UL Stan-
dard 864; inherently power limited, and has
all necessary circuitry to meet the UL tran-
sient immunity requirements.
The system is housed in a heavy-duty
steel enclosure finished in red, with pan-
els displaying the status of vital functions.
The surface mounted enclosure, with its
The integral Digital Alarm Communica-
tor Transmitter supports all standard re-
porting formats including:
• 3/1, 1400 Hz
• 3/1, 2300 Hz
• SK 4/2, 1400 Hz
• SIA 8
• SIA 20

slim appearance (4-inch depth), is designed
to blend with any environment. The cabi-
net can house up to 7AH batteries while
the system’s power supply can maintain
batteries of up to 33 AH batteries (enclosed
in the separately available BC-1R, 1100-
0654).
Optional modules include an LCD remote
annunciator, a zone expander module used
to expand the system and a status dis-
play module which provides outputs and
control functions for each zone as well as
program access.
