EN54-23: 2010 Fire alarm devices - Visual alarm devices (FC-320-XXX & FC-323-XXX variants only). EN54-25: 2008 Component using RF links for fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings (FC-171-XXX & FC-320-XXX variants only). The address of the unit is set when programming the device to the systems receiver (see commissioning manual for details). The installation must conform to BS5839:Part 1 (or applicable local codes). The FireCell Beacon is available for either ceiling or wall mounting. Care must be taken to ensure the correct type of beacon is used and that the device is installed in its correct orientation whilst providing adequate coverage. The individual device coverage is detailed below. FireCell Ceiling Mounted Beacon The FireCell ceiling mounted beacon devices have an EN54-23 approved coverage pattern of C-3-15. FireCell Wall Mounted Beacon The FireCell wall mounted beacon devices have an EN54-23 approved coverage pattern of W-3.1-11.3. Therefore each device can be mounted up to 3m high and provide a 15m cylinder diameter coverage, which can cover a 10.6m x 10.6m square room with a single device. Each single device can be mounted up to 3.1m high and can cover an 11.3m x 11.3m square room with a single device. m .3 3m 11 15m 11.3m EN54-23 Coverage: C-3-15 © 2014 EMS Radio Fire & Security Systems Ltd.

Remove the wall mounting plate by turning it counter clockwise. This dis-assembles the mounting plate from the wireless module and head. The mounting plate will now be available for fixing to the wall. Fix the mounting plate to the wall using suitable fixings and fasteners. A minimum of two mounting holes must be used.

With the mounting plate removed from the wireless module, the device can now be powered up. Firstly ensure that all batteries are fitted with correct polarity. Then connect the power jumper across the PIN header on the battery PCB located on the rear of the wireless module, shown in Figure 2. Please see commissioning manual for log on procedure details. Audio Self Test Feature An audio self test feature has also been incorporated into the wireless module. This feature however is only available whilst a sounder or sounder beacon head is fitted to the wireless module. Both switches should be set to the off position to ensure correct operation of this product. ORIENTATION OF SWITCHES 1 & 2 CORRECT ORIENTATION?

Ensure that the tamper switch operates correctly. The switch should make contact with the wall mount plate. Optional Additional Device Locking It is possible to lock the beacon head into the wireless base. An Allen key is supplied with the Radio Hub and RCCs or Fusion Loop Module, and will be required when unlocking. Locking is possible by removing the cut out section as shown in Figure 5. To re-assemble the unit, place the head section into the wireless base ensure that locating lugs line up and turn clockwise to achieve a positive location. To access the rear of the beacon head. Insert Allen key to depress the locking clip and turn the beacon head counter clockwise to remove the beacon head as shown in Figure 6.
