3 Structure and function 3.1 Overview Figure 1: Line separator FDCL221 The line separator FDCL221 is an electronic switch which is mounted on a FDnet/C-NET detector line. The line separator detects short-circuits and open lines on the detector line and disconnects the negative conductor in the event of a short-circuit.

Structure and function Function 3.3 Function The line separator FDCL221 is an electronic switch which is mounted on a FDnet/C-NET detector line. Station FDCL221 FDCL221-M Figure 3: Use of a line separator FDCL221 on a FDnet/C-NET detector line The line separator detects short-circuits and open lines on the detector line and disconnects the negative conductor in the event of a short-circuit.
Station FDCL221 FDCL221-M Figure 4: Line separator FDCL221 between two sub-stubs If several sub-stub lines are to be activated on one FDnet/C-NET loop, failure of large numbers of devices must be prevented in the event of a line short-circuit. In this regard the national regulations must be observed.

Planning Compatibility 4.1 Compatibility Compatible with control panels that support the FDnet/C-NET detector line. Detector line FC20xx FC72x SIGMASYS AlgoRex FC360 FDnet – – C-NET – – – With suitable line card X = compatible – = not compatible You will find detailed information in the 'List of compatibility'. 4.2 Fields of application The line separator is required in a FDnet/C-NET, where several sub-stub lines converge at one point.
5 Mounting / Installation 5.1 Assembly The line separator may be fitted in any position. Ensure that the line separator LED is visible after mounting. You can fit the FDCL221 line separator in various ways: ● Directly on a U-rail TS35 ●...
Only connect one wire per terminal. This is the only way to ensure the connection is failure-free for the entire service life of the device. The connection diagram shows the electrical connection for the FDCL221 line separator in the FDnet/C-NET using terminal blocks or micro terminals.
Mounting / Installation Installation 5.2.1 Wiring w Always insert a line separator before a sub-stub line. 1. Connect the line separator to the FDnet/C-NET. The pigtails are provided with pressed-on 2.8 x 0.8 mm flat connector sleeves in the factory. Cut off the flat connector sleeves if you don't need them for the connection.
Mounting / Installation Installation 5.2.2 Shielded cable Shielded cables must be earthed in stars at one point (e.g. on the control panel). Cable shieldings must be linked with one another using an insulated micro terminal or connection terminal. The shielding must not touch any extrinsic earthing potentials or metal parts in the device.
Commissioning 6 Commissioning The devices are commissioned via the control panel. The exact procedure is described in the control panel documentation. Conduct a performance check once commissioning is complete. 26 | 32 007063_h_en_--...
Maintenance and troubleshooting 7 Maintenance and troubleshooting The line separator module is maintenance-free. It monitors itself and has to be replaced if damaged. 007063_h_en_-- 27 | 32...
