FC720A — Siemens Cerberus PRO FC720 Addressable Fire Panel
The Siemens Cerberus PRO FC720 is an addressable fire detection and alarm control panel (FDAC) for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, supporting up to 1008 addressable devices across 8 loops and networking with up to 32 panels for large multi-building campus installations. Each addressable device — whether smoke detector, heat detector, multi-sensor detector, manual call point, input/output module, or sounder — has a unique address on the loop, enabling the FC720 to identify precisely which device has activated and display the exact zone location on the panel LCD, dramatically accelerating fire response compared to conventional zone-only panels where a fire in any of 20 devices in a zone produces the same alarm output.
The FC720 integrates cause-and-effect programming that maps any combination of detector, zone, or panel events to any combination of output actions (floor evacuation sounders, stairwell pressurisation fans, elevator recall, release of magnetic door holders, remote alarm transmission) with up to 500 cause-and-effect entries — covering the complex alarm management logic required by large Saudi facilities with multiple zones, occupancy types, and evacuation strategies. The panel operates on 230 V AC with a built-in sealed lead-acid battery backup calculated to maintain the panel and connected devices for 72 hours in standby and 30 minutes in full alarm, meeting the Saudi Civil Defense (SCD) minimum standby duration requirements for commercial and industrial buildings.
In Saudi Arabia, the Cerberus PRO FC720 KSA is approved for installation by the Saudi Civil Defense and is specified across the full range of building types requiring fire detection under the Saudi Building Code (SBC) fire protection requirements: commercial towers, hotels, hospitals, schools, shopping centres, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Major real estate developers — including those working on NEOM Sindalah, Red Sea Project resorts, and Qiddiya entertainment city — specify Cerberus PRO for its Siemens service network presence in the Kingdom and its integration capability with Siemens Desigo CC building management system. Marafiq industrial city facilities in Jubail use the FC720 networked across multiple buildings for single-point monitoring of the complete industrial city fire detection infrastructure.
Razz Middle East supplies, installs, and maintains Cerberus PRO FC720 systems in Saudi Arabia, providing SCD-compliant system design, device layout drawings, panel programming, and annual inspection and maintenance contracts.

Key Features & Benefits
- Addressable loop architecture identifies the exact detector or device location on the LCD display, reducing evacuation response time compared to conventional zone panels where only the zone is identified.
- 500-entry cause-and-effect programming covers complex multi-zone alarm management logic for large Saudi buildings with multiple occupancy types, evacuation strategies, and mechanical plant interface requirements.
- 72-hour standby battery backup meets Saudi Civil Defense minimum standby duration requirements for commercial and industrial buildings without requiring additional external battery cabinets.
- 32-panel networking capability supports large campus installations at NEOM, university campuses, and industrial cities where multiple buildings require integrated fire monitoring from a central security control room.
- EN 54-2 and EN 54-4 certification provides the internationally recognised fire detection standard compliance required by Saudi Building Code fire protection specifications and international insurance underwriters.
- Siemens Desigo CC BMS integration via BACnet or direct Siemens protocol allows fire alarm events to be received and displayed at the building management system operator station alongside HVAC and security data.
- Wide range of addressable devices including multi-sensor detectors, conventional zone modules, and waterflow switch inputs allows the FC720 to interface with existing conventional detector installations during staged upgrades.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Commercial tower fire detection for high-rise office and residential buildings in Riyadh's KAFD and King Road, where addressable detection identifies the exact apartment or office of origin for rapid evacuation management.
- Hospital fire alarm systems at Ministry of Health facilities across Saudi Arabia, where cause-and-effect programming integrates fire detection with nursing station alarms, door holder release, and medical gas shutdown.
- Hotel fire protection at Red Sea Project and NEOM resort developments, where 32-panel networking covers multi-building resort campus fire detection from a single hotel security monitoring station.
- Industrial facility fire detection at SABIC and Aramco processing facilities, where the FC720 integrates with process area flame and gas detection systems via conventional input modules.
- Shopping centre and retail development fire alarm at major Saudi malls, where addressable detection localises fires to individual shop units for targeted response and cause-and-effect activates individual stairwell pressurisation fans.
- School and university campus fire detection across Saudi educational institutions, where networked panels provide zone-level monitoring across academic buildings from a single campus security office.
- Warehouse and logistics facility fire detection at NEOM logistics hub and Saudi postal SPL distribution centres, where the FC720 monitors ceiling-mounted smoke detectors and sprinkler waterflow switches across large floor areas.
