The IQ8FCT LP (loop powered) can be used as FCT (fire control transponder) to control and monitor external fire protection devices like fire dampers or as a technical alarm module (TAL) to monitor an external contact (*).
The transponder is connected on the esserbus / esserbus-PLus loop of fire control system FlexES Control, IQ8Control and Compact.
The IQ8FCT LP provides an integrated loop isolator, contact input as well as a potential free relay output, with which the mains voltage 230 V AC / 16 A can be switched directly.
The module is powered by the field bus and does not require external voltage supply.
In the FCT functionality a fire control device e.g. fire damper will be connected to the relay output of the IQ8FCT LP and controlled. Via the input the end positions of this external device are monitored according to the programming with configured runtime.
The IQ8FCT LP is also equipped with configurable fail save functionality. If enabled, a communication loss with control panel or failure of the esserbus operating voltage results in automatic self-activation of relay output.
In the TAL functionality, an external contact can be connected and monitored via the input of the IQ8FCT LP. In case of an activation of this contact, the address and programmed additional text of the corresponding technical alarm module IQ8FCT LP will be displayed. To monitor this contact an optional monitoring module (Part No. 804870) or alternatively an external resistor combination needs to be used. Cable length to the contact can be up to 500 meters.
The IQ8FCT LP is delivered in a robust IP 65 protected surface mount housing.(*) To control fire protection equipment the local and regional requirements / regulations must be observed.
