FEATURES

The FC Controller is a remote-control activation point for equipment control (such as electro-mechanical sirens) with relay outputs. Ideal for siren control applications and process’ controlled via relay contacts. The FC Controller is equipped with a FCX Controller board which can be powered from 12VDC, 48VDC, 120VAC or 220VAC. The FCX Controller board is equipped with 4 relays to control devices such as siren contractors, overhead door controls, lights, beacons, sounders or railway equipment. The FCX Controller board has 4 inputs for use with external switches or contact closures, and can be programmed to activate the onboard relays and/or the audio from the FCM Plus Control board. The FCX Controller board has built-in siren tones that interface to PA or intercom systems. The audio can be activated through physical inputs or the built-in push buttons on the FCX Controller board.  The FC is a compact NEMA 4 metal enclosure equipped with a latching and locking mechanism, removable lock not included.  The enclosure has a ground stud and three pre-drilled holes for ease of use, and is equipped with a plug for the top RF hole and an AC lightning surge arrester.

Radios models available are FCH (high-band) and FCU (UHF) which include a synthesized radio receiver. Also available is FSPWARE, a software package that enables computer connection to modify supplied timing or to create unique on/off patterns for control of external equipment. Programming options via FSPWARE include radio receiver frequency, two-tone sequential tones/DTMF decoding digits for security, custom audible signal tones and independent control of output relays and timing patterns for electro-mechanical sirens. Up to six control codes may be programmed and activated through any combination of two-tone sequential, DTMF, EAS, POCSAG, or digital AFSK. Four of the timing sequences can be initiated using local push buttons or remotely through dry contact closures. The use of SFCD Software and SS2000+ allows remote control activation of multiple FC Controllers.

The Federal Controller is an ideal choice to control Eclipse8 and Model 2 siren series, radio activation of indoor PA systems, warning lights or various warning equipment, and fire house alerting applications.
