2 Safety regulations for the method of operation

2.2 Safety regulations for the method of operation

National standards, regulations and legislation
Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant
European and international safety standards. Should additional national or local
safety standards or legislation concerning the planning, assembly, installation,
operation or disposal of the product apply at the place of operation, then these
must also be taken into account together with the safety regulations in the product
documentation.

Electrical installations

WARNING

Electrical voltage
Electric shock
● Work on electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified
electricians or by instructed persons working under the guidance and
supervision of a qualified electrician, in accordance with the electrotechnical
regulations.

l Wherever possible disconnect products from the power supply when carrying
out commissioning, maintenance or repair work on them.
l Lock volt-free areas to prevent them being switched back on again by mistake.
l Label the connection terminals with external external voltage using a
'DANGER External voltage' sign.
l Route mains connections to products separately and fuse them with their own,
clearly marked fuse.
l Fit an easily accessible disconnecting device in accordance with IEC 60950-1
outside the installation.
l Produce earthing as stated in local safety regulations.

Assembly, installation, commissioning and maintenance

l If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
l When starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
l Ensure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
l You may only set controls to normal function when the product operability has
been completely tested and the system has been handed over to the customer.

Testing the product operability

l Prevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
l If testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
l The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause
injury to anyone or damage to the building installations. The following
instructions must be observed:
– Use the correct potential for activation; this is generally the potential of the
building installation.
– Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
l Inform people before testing the alarm devices and allow for possible panic
responses.
l Inform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
l Before testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.

Modifications to the system design and the products

Modifications to the system and to individual products may lead to faults,
malfunctioning and safety risks. Written confirmation must be obtained from
Siemens and the corresponding safety bodies for modifications or additions.

Modules and spare parts

l Components and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by
Siemens.
l Only use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.
l Wrong battery types and improper battery changing lead to a risk of explosion.
Only use the same battery type or an equivalent battery type recommended by
Siemens.
l Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.

Disregard of the safety regulations

Before they are delivered, Siemens products are tested to ensure they function
correctly when used properly. Siemens disclaims all liability for damage or injuries
caused by the incorrect application of the instructions or the disregard of danger
warnings contained in the documentation. This applies in particular to the following
damage:
l Personal injuries or damage to property caused by improper use and incorrect
application

3.8 SintesoView
SintesoView is software for the PC which can be used to display the Person
Machine Interface of a 'Station' on the PC. For example, it can be used to access
the system for maintenance purposes.
Depending on the operation mode, SintesoView can either be used for display
purposes or for display and operation purposes.
The link between SintesoView and a 'Station' can be structured as follows:
l Local connection via any 'Station' in the system
l Connection via the Global Access Point (GAP)
SintesoView is an integrated part of SintesoWorks but may also be installed on a
PC as a stand-alone application 'FXS2009'.
You will need an installed license key and appropriate authorization for the 'Station'
in order to use SintesoView. The license key must support the SintesoView
function. The license key need only be installed in the 'Station' that has the Person
Machine Interface that is to be displayed in SintesoView.

You will find more information about license keys in document 008843. See
chapter 'Applicable documents'.

The connection to a 'Station' with a license key is also possible via a 'Station'
without a license key.

SintesoView has the same visibility as the connected 'Station'. You can use
SintesoView in a system with networked 'Stations' to gain global visibility. Just
one license key is needed for this per network if the license key is installed in a
'Station' with global visibility.

The connection with a 'Station' is shown by the Person Machine Interface

(display, LEDs, keys) transmitted.
The 'SintesoView access' operation mode is indicated by a red frame around the
Person Machine Interface.
An enable granted for SintesoView is retained when a 'Station' restarted.

4.7 SintesoView operation modes

SintesoView has the following operation modes:
l 'Limited access (view only)'
l 'Full access (view/operation)'
For both operation modes, SintesoView must be enabled on the 'Station'. In
addition, a license key must be installed. The license key must support the
SintesoView function.

You will find more information about license keys in document 008843. See
chapter 'Applicable documents'.

'Limited access (view only)'

In this operation mode SintesoView indicates the same as the 'Station' connected
to it, but you cannot operate the linked 'Station'.
The figure in SintesoView indicates the display with all indicated texts, all LEDs in
their current state and all buttons.

'Full access (view/operation)'

In this operation mode, the connected 'Station' is visualized as in the 'Limited
access (view only)' operation mode. Additionally, the 'Station' can be operated with
SintesoView, while normal operation on the 'Station' is blocked, but can be
reactivated.

As operation on a 'Station' must have priority, this restriction (blocking) on the

'Station' can be cancelled at any time.
Each time an attempt is made to operate on the 'Station', a dialog is indicated with
the option to abort the connection with SintesoView.

The LED test also tests the display. However, the LEDs are not displayed in
'SintesoView'.

5.4 Switching off / Switching on

To avoid false alarms or fault messages, you can switch off parts of a 'Site' in
certain situations, e.g. for the purpose of maintenance work.
When a part of a system is switched off, the 'Isolation' LED is on.
The situations in which part of a 'Site' should be switched off, depends on the
detectors used as well as on possible deceptive phenomena such as smoke, dust,
heat or vapour.

WARNING

System parts that have been switched off make it impossible to acquire and
process alarms or faults!
Fire may spread unhindered.
● Deploy staff to monitor the deactivated area.
● You must switch deactivated parts of the 'Site' back on as soon as possible.

If a deactivated 'Zone' is the only 'Zone' in a 'Section', the 'Section' is also

indicated as deactivated.

5 Execute commands – Basics

5.9 Execute commands – Basics

There are different ways to enter commands. There are basically two ways of
entering commands:
l Function-oriented command entry
– Here, first select a command and then the target object on which the
command is to be executed.
l Object-oriented command entry
– Here, first select the target object and then the command on which the
target object is to be executed.
In the fire detection system, these two methods of entering commands are
combined in the interest of a better overview during the selection. It is possible to
switch between the two methods during the command entry sequence.
As only the possible command or element categories are indicated, each selection
restricts the selection that follows.
The example in the following chapter makes this clear.

Depending on the 'Access level', the possible selection of commands via softkeys
or the 'Main menu' is extended or restricted.

6.9 Visibility
Several fire control panels and fire terminals ('Stations') can be integrated into a fire
detection installation. The visibility defines which part of a fire detection installation
on 'Station' is visible and can be operated.

The visibility is configured in SintesoWorks.

The visibility for a fire control panel can be configured in the following topology
levels of a fire detection installation:
l 'Site'
l 'Station'
l 'Area'
The visibility for this 'Station' is configured by selecting and assigning event
categories from the topology to the visibility for this 'Station'.
For example, all the 'ALARMS' for the 'Site' or just the 'Faults' for the 'Area' of a
'Station' are indicated.
Two other modes are available for configuring the visibility:
l 'PMI standby visibility'
l 'PMI expanded visibility'

See also
2 Changing visibility [➙ 63]
2 Event categories [➙ 168]

6.9.1 Standby visibility

The 'Station' with the 'PMI standby visibility' configuration monitors one or more
other 'Stations'or a management station in the configured visibility.
l When the fire detection installation is in normal operating condition, 'PMI
standby visibility' is deactivated. The 'Station' configured in this way and the
display are then in quiescent condition.
l If a monitored 'Station' fails or if the connection to a monitored 'Station' is
interrupted, the configured 'PMI standby visibility' becomes active and the fire
detection installation can be operated in the configured visibility via this 'Station'
exactly as was previously the case with the failed 'Station'.

In addition to 'PMI standby visibility', 'PMI expanded visibility' can also be

configured for a 'Station'.

Evaluation of the danger levels

The control panel evaluates the danger levels and decides whether to trigger
alarms or not. In doing so, the control panel distinguishes between automatic and
manual fire alarms, 'Pre-ALARM' and 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
Alarm events are allocated to the following event categories:

Event category for alarm Typical example Activation/cause

events

'Pre-ALARM' The detector detects a fire Detector sensor

phenomenon with a low
danger level

'ALARM' The detector detects a fire Detector sensor

phenomenon with a high
danger level

Event categories for alarm events

Evaluation of the system events

The fire control panel has comprehensive monitoring and self-monitoring functions.
Deviations from the normal operation mode are recognized as a system event.
System events are allocated to the following event categories:

Event category for system Typical example Activation/cause

events

'Fault' l Faulty detector line Short-circuit, open line or

l Mains failure detector malfunction

'Isolation' A detector zone has been Operation or control

switched off

'Test' A detector zone is Operation

 System description
9 Topology

Alarming
The different fire alarms and system events are verified independently from one
another. Depending on the configuration, local alarming or direct or delayed global
alarming is actuated.
l Local alarming:
Local alarming equipment (e.g. acoustic or optical alarm devices) is actuated in
order to call up immediately available intervention personnel (e.g. in-house
staff) and to alert people of a possible fire hazard.
l Global alarming:
Global alarming equipment (e.g. remote transmission) is actuated and external
intervention forces (e.g. the fire brigade) are alerted.
The following points influence the type of alarming:
l Configuration of the alarming process
l Position of 'Manned operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation mode
– 'Manned operation': Personnel present on site
– 'Unmanned operation': No personnel present on site
l Type of alarm activation (automatic or manual)

Control
In the event of fire it makes sense to initiate first, decisive actions automatically.
Automatic measures are carried out by controls, e.g. by the control of building
services, evacuation or extinguishing.

9.2 Topology
The configuration of an 'FS20' fire detection installation is created in the following
structure trees:
l 'Hardware tree'
l 'Detection tree'
l 'Control tree'
l 'Operation tree'
l 'Network tree'
The structure is created by installing in the building and configuring the fire
detection installation. The elements of the individual structure trees are assigned to
one another via channels.
Thanks to a hierarchical topology and arrangement into zones, events can be
assigned geographically and shown accordingly. This enables commands to be
given to consolidated parts of the site, for example.

9.2.1 Hardware tree

The 'Hardware tree' represents the installed hardware. The individual elements of
the 'Hardware tree' are structured as follows:
l 'Station'
l 'Module'
l 'Line'
l 'Device'
l 'Physical channel'

9.2.2 Detection tree

The 'Detection tree' is an image of the geographic and functional situations in a
'Site'. It is adapted to the building structure and room use. The 'Detection tree' is
independent from the line arrangement of the detector network.

9.2.2.1 Elements of the detection tree

'Area'
l 'Area' typically corresponds to a building.
l 'Area' combines 'Sections' which are subject to the same 'Manned
operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation mode.
l 'Area' actuates the alarming equipment (acoustic and optical alarming devices
as well as remote transmission).
l 'Area' is assigned the following functions:
– 'Manned operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation mode
– Switching assigned 'Sections' on/off
Several 'Areas' are possible per control panel:
l FC2020, FC2030, FC2040: up to four 'Areas'
l FC2060: up to eight 'Areas'
There is an 'Area' that groups together the functions of alarm verification (AVC),
e.g. collective alarms and degraded mode operation.

'Section'
l 'Section' combines 'Zones' to form logical units. Such a unit can be e.g. a floor
or a staircase.
l 'Section' is assigned the following function:
– Switching assigned 'Zones' on/off

'Zone'
l 'Zone' generally combines the detectors in a room.
l 'Zone' evaluates the danger levels transmitted by the detectors. The configured
combination of different danger levels defines the conditions upon which an
'ALARM' is triggered.
l The following fire alarm zone types exist:
– 'Automatic zone'
– 'Manual zone'
– 'Technical zone'
– 'FSE zone'
– 'Flow switch zone' (sprinkler)
– 'Sub-system zone'
l The following extinguishing zone types exist:
– 'Sprinkler zone'
– 'XC10 zone'

'Channel'
The 'Channel' in 'Detection tree' represents the functionality of the inputs and
outputs of an FDnet device.

9.2.2.2 Operating modes of the detection tree elements

'Area'
l 'Manned operation'
In 'Manned operation' operating mode, operating personnel are present and
can investigate the fire location. The detectors are set to normal sensitivity, in
accordance with the selected parameter set.
l 'Unmanned operation'
In the 'Unmanned operation' operating mode, there are no operating personnel
present to investigate the fire location. The sensitivity level of the detectors or
their parameter sets are typically increased by switching to 'Unmanned
operation' operating mode.
The settings for the 'Manned operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation modes are
defined in the chapter Alarm Verification Concept (AVC).

137
Building Technologies 008838_p_en_--
Fire Safety 2014-02-18
 System description
9 Topology

'Zone'
l Switched on (normal operation)
Danger levels are evaluated and 'ALARMS' produced in normal operation. The
detectors have a normal sensitivity level, in accordance with the selected
parameter set.
l Switched off
If a 'Zone' is switched off, the channels assigned to the 'Zone' are isolated. No
signals are evaluated, neither danger levels nor 'Faults'.
There are two isolation functions:
– Isolation without time limits
– Isolation with time limits
l 'Renovation'
To avoid false alarms during renovation work (when emissions may be
generated), the 'Renovation' parameter set can be selected for the 'Zone'. In
this mode, the detectors are operated at a low sensitivity level. In the
'Renovation' operating mode, danger levels are evaluated.
l 'Detector test'
In the 'Detector test' operating mode, detectors can be actuated for test
purposes. When a detector is triggered, a test activation message is generated.
Alarm devices or controls are not activated.
The following devices are activated:
– Internal alarm indicators
– External alarm indicators in accordance with the configuration
– Base sounders if they are in the base of the activated detector
During testing the detectors must react quickly so that the holding times are
short. During the 'Detector test', the detectors are switched to increased
sensitivity with the 'Test' parameter set for this purpose.
After terminating the 'Detector test' operating mode, the detectors and
'Zones'are reset to the condition they were in before the 'Detector test'.
l 'Installation test'
An 'Installation test' can be performed during normal operation. The alarm
devices and controls are activated.
In the test the detectors must react quickly so that the holding times are short.
During the 'Installation test', the detectors are switched to increased sensitivity
with the 'Test' parameter set for this purpose.
After terminating the 'Installation test' operating mode, the detectors and
'Zones'are reset to the condition they were in before the 'Installation test'
operating mode.

'Channel'
l Switched on (normal operation)
In the normal operation, the danger levels of the detector as well as any 'Faults'
are transmitted to the 'Zone' for evaluation.
l Switched off
If a 'Channel' is switched off, no signals are forwarded to the 'Zone', neither
danger levels nor 'Faults'.

9.2.2.3 Functions of the detection tree elements

'Area': Switching the operating mode

l The 'Unmanned operation' operating mode is manually switched to 'Manned
operation'. Switching is not possible when 'ALARMS' have occurred and need
to be dealt with.
l The 'Manned operation' operating mode is automatically or manually
(configurable) switched to 'Unmanned operation'. Four time settings can be
configured for this, regardless of the day of the week:
– The first time setting is for automatic changeover.
– The second, third and fourth time setting is for safety reasons, in case
somebody switches to 'Manned operation' after the expiry of the first,
second or third automatic changeover.
l Blocking switchover
– If an 'ALARM' has occurred in the 'Area' and is waiting for treatment, the
switchover function from 'Manned operation' to 'Unmanned operation' is
blocked.
– It is still possible to switch from 'Unmanned operation' to 'Manned
operation'.
l Switching functions on and off
– All functions available for the 'Zones' are also available as collective
functions at area level.
Examples:
– Switching all automatic 'Zones' on and off.
– Switching all manual 'Zones' on and off.
l 'Poll alarm counter'
– The alarm counter counts the number of alarm states of the 'Area'.
– The alarm state is the state from the first 'ALARM' to the successful reset.

'Section': 'Zones': switching on and off

l All 'Zones' of the same kind (automatic/manual) can be switched off and on
within the section. 'Zones' with automatic fire detectors and 'Zones' with manual
call points are treated differently.

139
Building Technologies 008838_p_en_--
Fire Safety 2014-02-18
 System description
9 Topology

'Zone': reset behaviour of the manual call points

l The reset behavior of an activated manual call point can be selected:
– 'ALARM'can always be reset; 'Glass broken' is indicated.
or
– 'ALARM' cannot be reset.
l Blocking of the isolation
– If the isolation blocking function has been configured, the 'Zone' cannot be
switched off.
l 'Detector test' timeout
– After the expiry of a configurable delay the system automatically cancels
the 'Detector test' state. This function can be deactivated.
l Switching devices back on
– When devices are switched back on, they are in an undefined state for a
short period. The 'Station' changes to the 'Not ready' state for this period.
l Simulation function
– With the simulation function the 'Zone' switches from the normal operation
mode to 'Pre-ALARM' and then to 'ALARM'. The controls are activated as if
the detectors had triggered an 'ALARM'. Reset is performed by means of
the keys on the PMI.

9.2.3 Control tree

'Control tree' represents the control in the fire detection system. Control groups are
grouping units for configuration and operation.

Control groups in 'Control tree'

l 'Alarming control group'
l 'Fire control group'
l 'Evac control group'
l 'Counter control group'
Each group has one or more elements including an input (Cause) and an output
(Effect).
l Elements of the 'Alarming control group' are controls for internal and external
alarm devices.
– Remote transmission outputs for 'Fire' and 'Fault'
– Eight more remote transmission outputs
l Elements of 'Fire control group' are controls for building equipment.
l Elements of 'Evac control group' are controls for alarm and announcement
devices.

9.2.5 Assigning with the hardware tree

Components can be allocated to a geographical location in the system. This
assignment is a link.

Geographical allocation
Each device in the 'Hardware tree' has a unique address. In 'Detection tree', it is
possible to allocate room x on floor y to the device, for example.

Sample assigning of the detection tree to the hardware tree

D 'Detection tree'
L Link
HW 'Hardware tree'

The physical and the logical channel of a device are assigned between the
'Detection tree' and 'Hardware tree'.
The physical channel is the lowest level in the 'Hardware tree' and maps the
physical function of a device.
The logical channel is the lowest level in the 'Detection tree' and maps the logical
function of a device.

9.2.6 Functional allocation

In the 'Control tree', a function is assigned to a device from the 'Hardware tree', for
example a monitoring function (cause) is assigned to an input or a control function
(effect) is assigned to an output.
In the 'Control tree', the function of a logical element from the 'Detection tree' is
evaluated (cause) or controlled (effect). For example, the alarm condition of the
'Zone' is evaluated or the 'Zone' is switched on or off.
The figure below shows the interrelations of the aforementioned structures by way
of example.

9.2.7 Network tree

The network tree represents the networking of an FS20 system.

Networking types
The stations in the fire detection system can be networked in the following ways:
l SAFEDLINK (system bus)
l SAFEDLINK, extended: coupling of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via
FCnet/LAN (optical Ethernet)
l Electric Ethernet (does not comply with EN 54)
l SAFEDLINK and Ethernet mixed (does not comply with EN 54)

Connection types/functions
The stations in the network can have the following connection types/functions:
l Stand-alone station
l SAFEDLINK station: station in the SAFEDLINK network
l Router station: station in the SAFEDLINK sub-net connected to the FCnet/LAN
l Ethernet station: station in the Ethernet sub-network to which no more stations
are connected via SAFEDLINK
l GAP station: Station in the network for connecting to a management station
(BACnet client)
– The GAP station has the function of a DHCP server (configurable)
– The DHCP server automatically issues IP addresses to the clients from a
defined IP address space. This enables a PC to receive local access, for
example
l A route to an external IP router can be defined for the GAP station

Extended networking
Extended networking is the merging of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via
FCnet/LAN, which is managed as optical Ethernet in loop topology.
The sub-networks communicate via the router stations.

Private/external network
l Private network: FS20fire detection installations have their own cabling. The IP
addresses come from a reserved range for private networks
l External network: Fire detection installations can be incorporated in an existing
IT infrastructure as sub-nets
l Integration in an external network does not comply with EN 54

Connection with management stations

The connection between management stations or other sub-systems and the FS20
sub-system is established via BACnet/Ethernet.
A management station is connected to the FS20 sub-system via the GAP's
Ethernet interface. Every single station that is to use the BACnet protocol must be
enabled with a license key. The license key must support the BACnet function for
management stations.

You will find more information about license keys in document 008843. See
chapter 'Applicable documents'.

9 Evaluation

'Manual zone'
A 'Manual zone' combines the 'Manual call points'. Danger signals are evaluated by
means of an OR relation. Each detector of a 'Manual zone' can generate 'ALARM',
but not 'Pre-ALARM'.

'Automatic zone'
A 'Automatic zone' combines 'Automatic detectors'. The 'Automatic zone' can
generate 'Pre-ALARM' and 'ALARM'. A distinction is made between the following
detector dependencies:
l Multi-detector dependency
With multi-detector dependency, the danger levels of several detectors are
linked (AND relation) and evaluated. A 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM' is generated
when the defined danger levels have been reached.
Several evaluation variants are possible in multi-detector dependency.
l Single-detector dependency
With single-detector dependency the danger levels of one or more detectors
are linked (OR relation). A 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM' is generated as soon as at
least one detector has reached the defined danger level.

Sample criteria for 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM'

Alarm level Single-detector dependency Multi-detector dependency

'Pre-ALARM' 1 x danger level 2 1 x danger level 2 or 3

'ALARM' 1 x danger level 3 2 x danger level 2 or 3

'Technical zone'
In a 'Technical zone', inputs for technical messages are combined, e.g. fault or
danger by extraneous equipment.

'FSE zone'
A release element is assigned to this zone. With the release element, a fire alarm
is generated manually, which in turn releases the lock to the 'Key depots' with the
keys for the building. To operate the release element, a key is required which is
exclusively in the possession of the fire department.

'Sprinkler zone'
A sprinkler system is a piping system that is terminated at several locations with
sprinkler heads. It is normally fed by the public network of hydrants.
The sprinkler station is installed directly after the house feed. It separates the
sprinkler network from the hydrant network due to overpressure in the sprinkler
network.
The sprinkler station signals when the sprinkler network is opened somewhere and
water begins to flow. This condition is reported to the fire control panel via a
contact (or two as an option) and triggers an alarm with immediate response from
the fire brigade.
In larger sprinkler systems, the piping system is distributed over several floors and
the supply network has an outlet on every floor. Flow rate indicators are built into
each outlet.
The flow rate indicators generate a signal when there is a flow.

9.5 Control
Alarm events and system events may occur in a fire detection installation. It is the
task of the fire control unit to alert people and/or initiate appropriate actions based
on the different event categories. This is achieved with the different control types:
l Alarming control
l 'Fire control'
l 'Evac control'
l Extinguishing control
The alarming control is described in the chapter "Alarm Verification Concept
(AVC)".

Sample control

com Command

Causes are any events such as 'ALARM', 'Fault', 'Isolation', test mode as well as
signal inputs (contacts).
The control has an "OR / AND / NOT" combination of the causes that have
occurred.
The effects of the control are the activation or deactivation of outputs. The actuated
outputs can be combined with inputs for confirmation.
Effects are also commands within the fire detection system, e.g. for the isolation of
a 'Zone' or for changing a detector parameter set.

'Universal evac control'

'Universal evac control' is suited for horns that do not allow two-phased (multi-
channel) alarming.
For the alarming equipment (outputs, alarm devices) on the control outputs
(effects), it is possible to choose different tones for alerting ('Alert') and evacuation
('Evac').

'Phased evac control'

With 'Phased evac control', initiation of the alarming equipment (outputs, alarm
devices) is effected separately for alerting ('Evac') and evacuation ('Evac').
Application [GB]: First, all floors are warned ('Alert'). After that, the evacuation
('Evac') of individual floors is perfomed at particular intervals (phases), starting with
the floor on which the seat of the fire is located, in order to prevent blocking of the
escape routes.
This application may be different for different parts of a building.
l In the first phase the floor on which the fire is located as well as the one above
and the two top floors, all basement floors and possibly the ground floor are
evacuated.
l In additional phases, one upper and one lower floor are also evacuated at
predefined intervals. If need be, additional floors can be evacuated during the
same phase.

9.6 Alarm verification concept (AVC)

The 'Alarm Verification Concept' serves the purpose of delayed alarm transmission
and takes into account the interaction of the operating personnel in the alarming
sequence.
Operating personnel are able to examine the indicated fire location in the event of
a fire alarm. In the event of a false alarm or minor incident the intervention of the
fire brigade can be avoided.

Information flow of 'ALARM' and 'Pre-ALARM'

D 'Detection tree' AL 'Pre-ALARM'/'ALARM'

AVC Alarm verification concept GS Danger levels
1 'Area'

The 'Area' receives 'Pre-ALARMS' or 'ALARMS' from 'Zones'. Alarm verification

takes place at 'Area' level.
Configuration for 'Pre-ALARMS' and 'ALARMS' is not related within 'AVC'. The type
of verification and alarming can be separately configured for the 'Manned
operation' and 'Unmanned operation' operation modes.
'ALARMS' from 'Manual zones ' and 'Automatic zones' 'Zones' as well as
'Degraded FIRE ALARM' can be configured differently.

A maximum of one 'AVC' is possible per 'Area'.

9 Alarm verification concept (AVC)

9.6.1 Attendance check

Should an event ('Pre-ALARM', 'ALARM') arise, the operating personnel may
acknowledge presence within the time t1. After acknowledgement, the investigation
time t2 starts. If presence is not acknowledged within the given time t1, global
alarming is activated.

9.6.2 Investigation time

During the investigation time t2 the operating personnel may examine the indicated
source of alarm and check the cause of the 'ALARM':
l Or is it a real fire (emergency)?
l Is it a smoldering waste-paper basket (minor incident)?
l Has the installation detected a deceptive phenomenon (false alarm)?
In the event of a major incident (emergency), the nearest 'Manual call points' or
<Alarm delay off> must be pressed. ''Immediate global alarming'' is then triggered.
In the case of a minor incident or false alarm the operator may reset the 'ALARM'
and cancel alarming.

If the 'ALARM' is not reset within the given time t2, 'Immediate global alarming' is
activated.

9.6.3 Example of a verification process

Alarm verification proceeds as follows:
l An alarm event activates local alarming and starts the time t1 for attendance
monitoring.
l Operating personnel acknowledge 'ALARM' on the operating terminal prior to
the expiry of t1. Acknowledging normally silences local alarming (configurable
feature).
If there is no acknowledgement, global alarming is activated after the expiry of t1.
l After acknowledgement, the investigation time t2 starts. During time t2
operating personnel investigate the fire location.
– In the case of a minor incident the operator resets the 'ALARM' at the
nearest operating terminal. The alarming process stops, and no global
alarming is activated.
– In the event of a fire, the nearest 'Manual call points' or <Alarm delay off>
must be pressed. 'Immediate global alarming' is triggered.
If there is no reset, 'Immediate global alarming' is also activated after the expiry of
t2.

Alarming is controlled at 'Area' level. During alarming the alarming equipment is
activated, e.g. alarm devices and remote transmission devices.

Alarm devices
For local and global alarming, acoustic alarm devices, strobes, digital outputs, etc.
can be used. The tone of the alarm devices can be configured differently for local
and global alarming (the alarm devices must be suitable for this).

Remote transmission
The alarm message is transmitted to an intervention station. In the case of local
alarming, this is usually the company fire brigade and for global alarm usually the
state fire brigade. A remote transmission device must be used to transmit alarm
messages via the public telephone network.

9 Intervention concept (IC)

The 'Intervention Concept' ('IC') is an integral part of the fire control panel and
takes into account the interaction of the operating personnel. The 'Intervention
Concept' can be used to define an intervention process which is initiated should an
event occur or once a particular delay time has lapsed.
For each of the following event categories the behavior can be defined separately:
l 'Fault'
l 'Isolation'
l Test
l 'Technical message'
l 'Activation'
l 'Information'
The 'Intervention Concept' has two independent, parallel intervention processes:
l Attendance check (t1)
l Intervention monitoring (ts)
The intervention process can be configured according to the 'Manned
operation'/'Unmanned operation' operating mode.

A triggered intervention process (t1 and/or ts running) is not restarted when a

'Fault' of the same category occurs for a second time.

9.7.1 Attendance check

Attendance check with the 'IC' serves for immediate intervention. Events such as
technical deficiencies, 'Faults' and malfunctions can be investigated and possibly
remedied directly by the operating personnel.
If an event is not acknowledged within the configured timespan (e.g. up to one
hour), an external intervention station is informed (global alarming).

The remote transmission for 'Faults' is not interrupted by the acknowledgement.

The external intervention centre is also informed when the 'Fault' is acknowledged
but the cause of the 'Fault' is not rectified after a specified time.
This is ensured by parallel checking by the intervention center.

9.7.2 Intervention monitoring

Intervention monitoring is used to safeguard a service intervention. Events such as
a 'Fault' caused by a soiled detector are monitored during a preconfigured period of
time (up to one week).
If the normal operation conditions are not re-established within this period of time,
service intervention is started and/or the maintenance personnel are informed.

l A 'Fault' activates local alarming and starts the time t1 for attendance
monitoring.
l Operating personnel acknowledge presence on the operating terminal prior to
the expiry of t1. Acknowledging silences the local alarming equipment. If there
is no acknowledgement, global alarming is activated after the expiry of t1.
l The time ts for service intervention monitoring starts in parallel to the time t1. If
the 'Fault' is not eliminated prior to the expiry of ts, maintenance personnel are
called up.

A triggered intervention process (t1 and/or ts running) is not restarted when a

'Fault' of the same category occurs for a second time.

Regular maintenance of the 'Site' is necessary in order to ensure the system will
function reliably.
The fire detection installation has a reminder function that informs you of imminent
maintenance. When the service reminder is displayed, regular maintenance by the
service technician is required.

Depending on national regulations, the maintenance intervals can be set

differently from the following maintenance recommendation.

11.1 Maintenance recommendation

You will find detailed instructions for maintaining the site in document 009052.
Please adhere to the local provisions.
Carry out the recommended maintenance work at regular intervals or have it
carried out by a service engineer.
