Siemens FS-250 Specifications download pdf

The FS-250C addressable fire alarm control panel is a

small, low cost fire alarm panel suited for stand-alone

operation in small to medium sized facilities. It features a

single addressable input device circuit and four notification

appliance circuits. The FS-250C is ULC Listed.

Main System

The FS-250C indicates alarm, trouble and supervisory

conditions with an 80 character backlit LCD display, as

well as a 20 zone/4 signal LED annunciator that is built in

to the Front Panel. Acknowledge, alarm silence and

system reset are accomplished with built-in membrane

control buttons. Basic user and maintenance level

functions such as viewing history or system enable/

disable are also accomplished through the membrane

control buttons. Password protection of maintenance

level functions is present. The main system can charge

up to 32 AH battery sets, up to 12 AH will fit inside the

enclosure.

The basic FS-250C features a single addressable signaling

line circuit (Class A or B) capable of supporting up to 252

addressable input devices, whether they are detectors,

manual pull stations, or contact monitoring points. Each

detector can also have an optional audible detector base,

relay detector base, or remote lamp associated with it.

These auxiliary devices are completely controlled through

logic and are not required to activate simultaneously with

the detector.The system also has four class B or 2 class

A Notification Appliance Circuits built into the main board.

Each circuit has a capacity of 1.5 amps of 24 VDC for

powering horns, strobes, chimes, and other notification

appliances. The total base system capacity for the four

circuits in 3.0 amps and can be expanded to 6A. Each

signal circuit is fully programmable and supports standard

and custom coded outputs of audible devices. Systems

can be configured to sound different codes on the same

signal circuit to indicate different conditions.

The FS-250C has four Form C relays on the main board

for monitoring alarm, pre-alarm, supervisory and trouble

conditions. Each relay is rated at 1 amp @ 28VDC.

Auxiliary 24VDC power is also available on the main

board, with a capacity of up to 0.4 amps.
