FC2020 Fire control panel

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Sinteso™ FC2020 is a compact fire control panel designed for up to 252 addresses, featuring a user-friendly interface and optional single-sector extinguishing. It can operate as a standalone unit or be networked with up to 64 stations, supporting redundant network nodes and compliance with EN 54 standards. It also connects to Siemens 'Cloud for Buildings'.
Specifications: The FC2020 supports 252 addresses with 2 loops or 4 stubs, includes a 70 W power supply, and has a maximum battery capacity of 12 Ah for standard housing and 150 W with 25 Ah for comfort housing. It features a Fast Ethernet interface, RS232 and RS485 slots, and allows flexible configuration and remote access.
Networking and Connectivity: The panel can network with up to 32 control panels and terminals to form an FCnet network. When connected via BACnet, up to 16 control panels and terminals can be networked. The optical FCnet/LAN network supports up to 14 sub-nets with a total of 64 stations.
Features and Functions: The FC2020 processes signals from the Sinteso detector series FD20 and supports various devices on the FDnet line. It includes degraded mode function, time-dependent controls, and synchronous activation of sounder bases. Configuration is done using 'SintesoWorks' software, with firmware updates available for all components.
Extensions and Options: The panel offers extensions like event printers, key switches, and LED indicators. Housing options include standard, comfort, and large extension configurations, with space for additional batteries and operating add-ons. It supports optional add-ons with LED indicators and can be equipped with a periphery board for increased output current per FDnet line.
Applications: Suitable for smaller-scale applications like workshops or hotels, as well as comprehensive systems due to flexible networking options.
Design and Setup: The operating unit includes a CPU module, Ethernet connection, and slots for RS232 and RS485 modules. The periphery board provides connection terminals for FDnet lines, remote transmission, and power supply. Customization is possible using SintesoWorks software, with operation via integrated or separate fire terminals.
Ordering Details: Lists various fire control panel models, weights, and order numbers, including extensions, auxiliary power supplies, network modules, cloud gateways, batteries, license keys, and external printers.
Technical Data: Provides detailed data for Standard and Comfort housings, including operating voltage, current, battery capacity, ambient conditions, and mechanical data. Panels are approved by VdS, LPCB, and FM, with Comfort housing also approved for marine use by DNV GL.
Product Documentation: References additional documentation for system descriptions, product data, planning, installation, and specific fire control panels, with related documents available on Siemens' website.
Guarantee: Siemens guarantees technical data only when used with Siemens products listed in the 'Device combinations' section. Use of third-party products invalidates the guarantee.
