The FCS Flexible Control System is a sophisticated, high performance controller that offers up to 128 (or limited to 8) gas channel configurations for monitoring toxic, combustible or refrigerant gases with versatile control functionality for non-hazardous, non-explosion rated, commercial and light industrial applications.
The FCS is designed to accept inputs from digital, analog and wireless transmitters and/or Peripheral Devices (in various combinations), using Modbus® RS-485 and/or 4-20 mA analog input. The FCS is available in 4 models:
FCS-M with up to 128 gas channels with Modbus® RS-485 output to a BAS
FCS-8-M with up to 8 gas channels with Modbus® RS-485 output to a BAS
FCS-B with up to 128 gas channels with BACnet® MS/TP output to a BAS
FCS-8-B with up to 8 gas channels with BACnet® MS/TP output to a BAS
All models include, four configurable SPDT dry contact relays with field configurable time delays and trigger levels, a full colour LCD touch screen with LED panel indicating configurable channel alarm status, relay status and fault conditions, extensive menu system with password protection, enhanced logic control, priorities/zoning capabilities, a USB port for firmware upgrades, data logging and a door-mounted, audible alarm. Optional value added features include, analog inputs and/or analog outputs, a top mounted strobe, a locking door and a water tight, door-mounted audible alarm. The FCS can can be connected to remote devices such as a remote strobe/horn combo, a Remote Display Module and various LNK Peripheral Devices.
All models of the FCS can be configured to comply with California Title-24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Specification details need to be given at time of order and additional settings can be implemented in the field as required.
