Model FCA2018-U1
Remote Peripheral Module
INTRODUCTION
Features
A6V10315044_enUS_c
The Model FCA2018-U1 from Siemens
Industry, Inc., is an Universal Fire
Protocol module that interfaces to a
Centronics parallel printer. It must be
located where access to the FS20
System UFP network and 24VDC power
limited output are available.
The FCA2018-U1 is required whenever a
logging printer is needed. It translates
the UFP messages into a standard Centronics printer interface. When used
in conjunction with the PAL-1, it provides a supervised logging printer meeting the
requirements of NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL 1076 Security systems. For NFPA 72
Local, Auxiliary or Remote Station applications any UL EDP listed Centronics parallel
printer may be used (See notes 2, 3, and 4 on Figure 3).
FCA2018-U1 features are as follows:
•
Supervision of the PAL -1 includes paper out, paper jam, printer off line,
printer power off and printer disconnected.
•
Can be connected to the UFP Style 4 or Style 6.
•
Includes diagnostic LEDs to indicate failure of the UFP or the CPU. It also
has a power on indicator.
•
Includes a reset switch in the event that the FCA2018-U1 requires a
hardware reset.
•
Can be mounted on any smooth surface within 6 feet of the PAL -1.

Page 2: Operation
When a system event occurs, the Operating Unit sends a print message to the FCA2018-U1 via UFP . The FCA2018-U1 is responsible for printing the message. The FCA2018-U1 contains a buffer to ensure that events that occur at a rate faster than the PAL -1 can print them are not lost. -
Page 3: Pre-Installation
NOTES: 1. The maximum distance from the FCA2018-U1 to the PAL-1 is 6 feet. The two modules must be in the same room. 2. For NFPA 72 Local, Auxiliary and Remote Station configurations, connect the output of the FCA2018-U1 to any UL EDP listed printer. -

Figure 5 Connecting Power To The FCA2018-U1 The FCA2018-U1 can be connected to the UFP Style 6 or Style 4. Refer to the FS20 configuration for the proper Style. If the FCA2018-U1 is connected at the end, care must be taken to properly terminate the UFP . See Figure 6 for the wiring instructions when the FCA2018-U1 is connected as Style 6 and Figure 7 when the FCA2018-U1 is connected as Style 4. - Page 5 TO NEXT UFP 1. No end of line resistor MODULE required. Termination set to OFF except on the SHIELD DO NOT USE FCA2018-U1 is at the end of UFP network where the X2-4 X2-3 X2-2 X2-1 Termination is set to ON.
