Operating access

Possible access levels

Acknowledge messages possible: with access level 1 p

with access level 2 p

Three main access levels are defined allowing different privileges for the operation of the fire detection system. Access is provided by a four digit password for the higher access levels, re- spectively.

After 3 consecutive incorrect password entries the operation access is disabled for 15 minu- tes.

Overview of the access levels

Automatic timeout

The access by password is automatically cancelled if no key is operated for:

n5 min during state of ???normal operation???

n30 sec during condition ???alarm???

How do I get operating access?

" Enter the password on the keypad ?? as described below. or

"Turn the keylock switch ?? in horizontal position.

??Access with level user operating 2 is provided as long as the key is left in horizontal position.

Operating access via password

The passwords are defined and released to the operators by the service engineer.

In case of misskeying the password, use del to cancel keying errors.

3. Proceed operating (access is now provided)

Log out

There is no log out procedure, because the operating access expires automatically if no key is pressed within a certain time (+ page 11, Automatic timeout).

Operating ???manned??? and ???unmanned???

Basic rules

The operating states ???manned??? and ???unmanned??? are defined in a SPECIAL Alarm Concept, where signals from automatic fire detectors and manual call points are processed differently (for details + page 16).

The switchover from the operating states ???manned??? to ???unmanned??? and vice versa is either done manually by the operating personnel or automatically as programmed by the service engineer.

Operating state ???manned???

nThe operating person, responsible for the surveillance of the system and the alarm investiga- tion, is present on the premises.

nThe LED in the display field Premises manned ?? is on.

nThe LED in the display field Isolation is on (depends on system configuration).

Operating state ???unmanned???

nThe responsible operating person is not present on the premises.

nThe LED in the display field Premises manned ?? is off.

Manual switching between the operating states ???manned??? and ???unmanned???

1.Log in with ???access level 2???.

2.Press the Premises manned key on the control panel to toggle between the operating states ???manned??? (yellow LED is on) and ???unmanned??? (yellow LED is off).

The automatic switchover is used for example, to prevent the system status ???manned??? during nighttime when no operating personnel is present: The system switches automatically to status ???unmanned??? at a defined time (e. g. after the office hours). The same scheme can be used for unattended times during weekends or holidays. The automatic switchover scheme is defined by the service engineer. No user action is required.

?? The time until the system is set to manned mode is displayed.

SPECIAL Alarm Concept

Purpose and principle

To prevent the unnecessary turn out of the fire department for minor incidents a SPECIAL Alarm Concept was developed.

It involves operating personnel in the alarming sequence and relies on two operating states:

n???unmanned??? mode ?? while the operating personnel is not present on the premises.

n???manned??? mode ?? while the operating personnel is present on the premises.

???unmanned??? mode

When the system operates in ???unmanned??? mode, the fire brigade is called immediately when an alarm signal is issued.

???manned??? mode

When the system operates in ???manned??? mode, manual call points and automatic detectors trig- ger different actions in the event of an alarm:

The times V1 and V2 are only relevant, when the remote transmission is installed.

nThe alarm acknowledgement time is active for automatic detectors when the system opera- tes in ???manned??? mode.

nThe system checks whether someone acknowledges the alarm message within this prepro- grammed time.

nAn alarm must be acknowledged before V1 expires, otherwise the alarm is transmitted to the fire department.

nThe remaining time is indicated on the text dis-

nThe alarm investigation time is active for automatic detectors when the system operates in ???manned??? mode.

nIt limits the time for investigating the fire location to an preprogrammed length.

nOn expiration of this time the alarm is transmitted to the fire department.

nIn case of minor incidents, an alarm must be reset before V2 expires.

nThe remaining time is indicated on the text dis-

Alarm

Principle

An alarm is issued by the system if an automatic detector has responded or a manual call point was actuated.

The alarm is indicated by:

noptical signals

???blinking of the red LED alarm bar on the control console ??

???alarm message on the text display ??

nacoustic signals

???buzzer of the control console

???attached signal horns

As described in the SPECIAL Alarm Concept, the operating personnel is involved into the alarm scheme only if the system is in ???manned??? mode. In all other cases, i. e. SPECIAL Alarm Concept is not activated (used) or the system operates in ???unmanned??? mode, the alarm is transmitted immediately to the fire brigade.

During alarm other states such as faults etc. are not shown at the display. However, it is possible to make them visible via the menu ???Info polling??? (For details + page 49).

How are alarm messages shown on the text display?

A single alarm message on the text display consists of 2 lines as shown in the example to the right.The first line tells that the alarm was given in zone 5 by the element 1 of this zone, which was an automatic fire detector. The numbers at the end of the line tell, that this is the first of in total 3 alarm messages. The se- cond line gives the explicit location of the re- sponding detector.

The 3. and the 4. line hold the same information for the last alarm message issued. In this case a manual call point was actuated in zone 3 of the building, which is located in the ground floor main entrance.

3. alarm message zone 3, element 1

???ground floor main entrance???

Scrolling alarm messages

Additional pending messages can be retrieved using the scroll key.

"Press the scroll key ?? below the text display.

What to do after an alarm

"Reset system if normal conditions appeared.

"If a manual call point was activated while the alarm, insert a new front glass in the actual call point.

Temporary isolation of a detector zone

What is a detector zone?

The detectors and manual call points of the fire detection system are grouped into zones, which are defined according to geographical aspects of the building. Zones may be all self-contained areas of a building, for example

nsingle rooms

nadjacent rooms (no doors between the rooms)

ncorridors

nstaircases

Corridor

Zone 5

Room 101element 1,2,3

Zone 1

Room 104 Zone 4 element 1,2

When has a detector zone to be isolated?

In exceptional situations zones have to be isolated from the system, to prevent unintended alarm. An exceptional situation depends on the kind of the detector and exists for zones with:

nsmoke detectors, if smoke or dust is produced by unusual work

nheat detectors, if heat or steam is produced by unusual work

nmanual call points, if there is a possibility of inadvertent activation

WARNING

A zone that has been isolated cannot trigger any danger or fault messages! As soon as conditions have returned to normal, isolated zones have immediately to be enabled again!

Temporary isolation of a single detector

When has a single detector to be isolated?

Exceptional situations may occur, where it is preferable to isolate only single detector devices instead of the whole detector zone. Such situations may be for example:

nConstruction work with smoke or heat development at a particular location within a large zone with a lot of detectors

nMalfunction of a detector in a zone with several detector devices

WARNING

A detector device that has been isolated cannot trigger any danger or fault messages! As soon as conditions have returned to normal, isolated detector devices have immediately to be switched on again!

If a single detector should be isolated the detector has to be identified clearly! If the detector i cannot be identified clearly, the whole detector zone should be isolated. A wrong isolation of

a detector can cause an unwelcome call of the fire brigade!

Remote Transmission

What is ???remote transmission????

The remote transmission facility establishes a transmission path to the fire department in the event of a fire alarm issued by the fire detection system. Depending on the alarm concept, the alarm is transmitted immediately to the fire department, or after a certain delay, giving time for investigation by operating personnel.

In single cases a separate transmission path for fault messages is established.

When has the remote transmission to be disabled?

Under normal conditions the remote alarm transmission facility is enabled to ensure minimal alarming times. The remote transmission facility is disabled only in special cases to prevent un- necessary turn out of the fire brigade. The transmission facility should be disabled for:

nTest of the fire detection system

nMaintenance and conversion works on the fire detection system

WARNING

When the remote alarm transmission is disabled, no automatic alarm is transmitted to the fire department! Operating personnel must be on the premises to investigate immediately the location in case of an alarm and to alarm the fire department in case of fire!

Alarm devices

When have alarm devices to be disabled?

Under normal conditions the alarm devices (e. g. horns or sirens) operate in active stand???by.

They are only disabled for:

nTest of the fire detection system.

nMaintenance and conversion works on the fire detection system.

WARNING

When the alarm devices are disabled, no acoustic alarm (except the buzzer) is issued in case of fire!

Normally all acoustic devices are disabled together. Single devices or lines are only disa- i bled in exceptional cases. For the alarm devices there are always 2 lines, in some cases 4

lines, but max. 6 lines possible.

How do I respond to fault messages?

Fault messages are issued on the text display if a malfunction in the system, the cabling or the attached devices is detected. Additionally the LED in the fault display field is blinking.

1.Confirm the message by pressing the Acknowledge key.

?? The yellow LED in the fault display field changes from blinking to constant on.

2.Read the fault message on the display and decide, whether the fault can be remedied by the user (see next paragraph: What remedies are available to the user).

3.To cancel the fault message after the fault is remedied, press the Reset key.

WARNING

If the fault cannot remedied by the user, immediately call the SIEMENS service organiza- tion!

What remedies are available to the user?

Only a few faults can be remedied by the user. These are listed below. For all other faults call the

SIEMENS service organization.

Detector test

Purpose and Principle

For function tests of the automatic fire detectors and the manual call points, zones of the fire detection system are set into the ???detector test mode???. In the detector test mode a responding detector or manual call point triggers only a test alarm.

This allows individual on???site function tests, where automatic fire detectors deliberately are trig- gered by means of special detector test equipement.

Manual call points are triggered either with a special test key or by opening the cover and actua- ting the button.

Test alarm

A test alarm generates no danger message on the control console. Acoustic alarm devices, the remote alarm transmission or any other control functions are not activated.

A test alarm is indicated on the text display of the control console as test???ALARM ZONE #. It is recorded in the event memory and automatically logged, if a printer is connected.

Frequency

Visual control of detectors and manual call points: Once a year.

Testing of all detectors and manual call points: Once every two years.

Recommendations for function tests

nPerform the function tests periodically. The frequency of function tests is determined by the service engineer.

nSwitch only the fire detectors of a few zones at a time to detector test mode, never the entire building.

nFor manual call points the function test needs to be performed only according to a sampling plan, designed by the service engineer.

nTest automatic fire detectors and manual call points separately. Never switch them to detec- tor test mode simultaneously.

WARNING

A zone in detector test mode cannot trigger any danger or fault messages!

After completion of the test work immediatly set the fire detection system back to normal operation!

Set only a few zones at a time to detector test mode, never all zones at the same time!

Setting single detector zones into detector test mode

3.Enter the desired zone numbers (e. g. 1 and 2; max. 4 zones). Use the ok key to separate the numbers and the del key to cancel keying errors.

Functional testing of automatic AlgoRex-detectors

Multisensor smoke detector

Smoke detector

Required equipement

There are basically two kinds of automatic fire detectors: heat detectors and smoke detectors. For heat detectors the detector tester RE6T is required, which simulates the temperatur rise with a hot air blower.

Smoke detectors exist also as the variation multisensor smoke detector. Both are tested with the detector tester RE6, which also can be used as tool for the detector exchange. Smoke is detec- ted by its light scattering, which is optically simulated by the detector tester RE6.

Identification of detectors

Smoke detectors, multisensor smoke detectors and heat detectors can be identified by their housing, see illustration.

" If the tested detector did not respond, exchange the detector unit.

Test procedure for detector tester RE6

1.Set the desired zone into detector test mode (+ page 34).

2.Set the detector tester onto the detector and press for 1 second.

3.Wait until the response indicator (red LED) located in the detector housing flashes.

4.Possibly press again after 15 ??? 20 seconds for 1 second.

Lamp test

Purpose of the lamp test

Alarms, faults and operating state of the fire detection system are indicated by LEDs in the dis- play fields, the text display and the alarm buzzer of the control console.

To check the correct function of these parts the lamp test can be initiated: All visual and audible devices of the control console are activated for a few seconds.

Frequency

The lamps have to be tested at least once a year.

Lamp test procedure

??? missing segments in text display?

If one or more devices are malfunctional, call the SIEMENS service organization.

Battery load test

Purpose and principle

In case of mains interruption the power supply of the fire detection system relies on an internal battery pack. The capacity of the battery pack is sufficent to keep the system for a couple of hours operating (+ page 32, Faults). As the lifetime of batteries is limited, a battery load test has to be performed periodically to ensure a good condition of the battery pack: For 10 seconds the battery is highly loaded and the battery voltage is monitored. If the voltage drop is beyond a cer- tain value, the battery pack has to be replaced.

Frequency

The batterie test is automatically performed by the system every 24 hours. If the battery is dama- ged, or provides only an insufficent capacity, a fault messages is displayed.

Once a year the battery test has to be performed manually.

Test of acoustic alarm devices

Purpose and principle

The fire detection system is equipped with acoustic alarm devices distributed throughout the building to alarm the fire brigade in case of fire. The function of the acoustic alarm devices has to be checked periodically. The ???horn test??? activates all acoustic alarm devices for 30 seconds.

Frequency

The acoustic alarm devices have to be tested at least once a year.

Test of Remote Transmission (RT)

Purpose and principle

In test mode the function of the remote transmission can be tested without activating an alarm device or a manual call point.

The function of the remote transmission facility has to be checked periodically. The remote alarm transmission and the remote fault transmission can be tested separately.

Frequency

The acoustic alarm devices have to be tested at least once a year.

Set time and date

Purpuse and Principle

Time and date are set by the service engineer when the system is put into service. Under normal conditions there is no need to correct time and date.

The changeover from summertime to wintertime and vice versa is performed automatically for Central European Time. Central European Time is valid for Western Europe, most of Eastern Europe an parts of Russia. The switchover from summertime to wintertime is performed at the last sunday in March, vise versa at the last sunday in October. Differing automatic switching ti- mes are not possible.

Only due to an electronical distortion or a complete power failure (mains and battery interrupted) the system sets time and date to ???default???.
