BC8001A Installation and Operating Manual

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION

1. Introduction

This section provides general instructions for mounting and wiring of the BC8001A control Unit.

Read this section before installing the equipment to ensure proper installation. If you are not familiar with the
BC8001A system, be sure to ask Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. technical support or an authorized
representative if you have any question.

Install and use the BC8001A fire alarm system in accordance with corresponding local regulation in your country or
this installation manual for your reference.

2. Installation

Always remove power (battery or AC) and wait at least 10 seconds to allow the supply voltages to decay before
installing or removing any module or cable or wring.

Prior to installation consider the following:

l Mounting height for visual and manual access to the LCD displayed
l Weight and size of the enclosure
l Local code and regulation

The procedure of Installation of the BC8001A:


1. Select a clean, dry, shock and vibration free surface.
2. Position the BC8001A so that front panel can be opened freely.
3. Mark the location of the four mounting bolts on the wall. (Refer to figure 1)
4. Drill the four holes located in the previous step and push screws in the bolts. Leaving a small gap between
the wall and each screw.
5. Remove the knockouts on the back for the entry of field wring.
6. Place the BC8001A over the four screws on the wall and slide it down on the screws.
7. Pull cable into the BC8001A control unit. Do not fix the wiring until the location of all the equipment is
known.
8. Tighten the four screws securely against the back wall of BC8001A.
9. Place battery into proper location and connect with power supply properly. (Refer to figure 5)
10. Close the front cover. Screw the two screws on the top of the cover tightly.

3. Wiring

Install the wirings to the proper location. Refer to figure 2,3,4.

Note:
1. All wirings must be in accordance with corresponding local code or regulation.
2. All wires are UL recognized.
3. All circuits are power limited to NFPA 70.

Caution!
Observe positive and negative poles!
Make sure NO SHORT TO GND and NO SHORT CIRCUIT when connection!
Power limited and Non-Power limited wiring should be separated.

→ If logic expression is legal, the system will save the logic expression in memory and

return to the previous window.

13. Press “OK” key

continue to modify the logic expression.

Note:
1. Now the modified text is saved temporarily. If the control unit is reset, the modified text
will be lost. If you want to save the modification for long time, please do the “Save
Configuration” operation(refer to Page 44).
2. Explanation of logic expressions:

• “+”: “OR ” relationship ; For example: 01.011.001+01.011.002+01.011.003=


1.011.004, which means any of 01.011.001,01.011.002 and 01.011.003 issues
alarm and links to the 01.011.004 equipment;

• “*”: “AND” relationship; For example: 01.011.001*01.011.002*01.011.003=


01.011.004, which means 01.011.001,01.011.002 and 01.011.003 concurrently
issue alarms and link to the 01.011.004 equipment;

• “!”: “NOT” relationship; For example: !


(01.011.001*01.011.002)=01.011.004,
which means 01.011.001 and 01.011.002 concurrently issues alarm but do not link
to the 01.011.004 equipment;

• “ ( ) ”: Priority class. For example: ( 01.011.001+01.011.002 )

Siemens Building Technologies Page 41/49


BC8001A Installation and Operating Manual

*01.011.003=01.011.004 , which means either 01.011.001 or 01.011.002


concurrently issues alarm along with 01.011.003 and links to 01.011.004;

• “+~+”,*~* : Both are valid abbreviations. It is not applicable to “[ ]N”; For example:

01.011.001+~+01.011.015=01.011.016, which means that in the 1st line of No.1


Line Card in No.1 Controller, alarm (action) by any of No.1 to No.15 Equipment will
link to No.16 Equipment;

01.011.001*~*01.011.006=01.011.007, which means that in the 1st line of No.1


Line Card in No.1 Controller, concurrent alarm (action) by all field devices from
No.1 to No.6 will link to the action of No.7 field device;

• “[ ]N”: Any N pieces of equipment issue alarms concurrently, N≤8;For example:


[01.011.001,01.011.002,01.011.003]2=01.011.004, which means that alarm by
any 2 of the 3 pieces of equipment will link to 01.011.004 Equipment.
[01.011.001~01.011.003,01.011.005]2=01.011.004, which means that alarm by
any 2 of No.1 to No.3 Equipment and No.5 Equipment will link to 01.011.004
Equipment.

• “;”:indicating the end of each complete interlocking logic expression;

• When a certain interlocking relation needs concurrent interlock to several pieces of


equipment (output), “,” should be used to separate them; For example:
(01.011.001+01.011.002)*01.011.003=01.011.004,01.011.005, which means
that there is concurrent interlock to both 01.011.004 and 01.011.005, after the
(01.011.001+01.011.002)*01.011.003 relation is met;

• “{T1,T2}”: T1, delay time; T2 duration of the interlocking command. For T1 and T2:
0-255 seconds are valid; For example: 01.011.001+01.011.002+01.011.003
=01.011.004{30,20}, which means after a delay of T1, the controller starts to issue
a interlocking command, and after the interlocking command has lasted for T2, it
stops issuing command.

must read 26.0VDC±0.3V.

2. Discharge Test – With full system alarm load, the voltage on a fully charged battery must not fall below 20.4VDC after 30
minutes.
3. Load Voltage Test – With full system alarm load, the voltage on a fully charged battery must not fall below 24.0VDC after 1
minute.

Testing Interval:
1. Semiannually – Perform the Load Voltage Test
2. Annually – Perform the Charger Test and Discharge Test
