Introduction
General Remarks
Purpose This section describes the procedures to handle spontaneous appearing events and how tooperate the full range of possible functions of this fire detection system.
Main focus It mainly deals with the question 'how' is something done. Therefore for all topics a brief step-by-step instruction is provided.
Additional in-formation
☞ More information to understand this fire detection system in detail can be found in the"Basic System Knowledge �" section beginning at page 81.
Before starting
iTo get a better understanding on how to use these operating instructions please read thetopics "State and Configuration Dependency" and "Browsing Methods" on the following pa-ges.

State and Configuration Dependency
What is theeffect?
The menus depend on configuration, system state and access level, i.e. they may lookslightly different from the figures in this manual.
Similarly some procedures depend on the actual system state and configuration.
Examplefor statedependency
An example to clarify the meaning of state dependency:
E.g. a softkey may be<Zone -> OFF> if the specific zone is ON
and it changes to<Zone -> ON> if the zone is switched OFF
Additionally it may even change to call a submenu if there are mixed states.
E.g. on section level a softkey may be:<All DETECTOR zones -> OFF> if all zones are ON
or<All DETECTOR zones -> ON> if all zones are OFF
This softkey changes to<DETECTOR zones ON/OFF functions..> if not all zones are in the
same state
calling a submenu with these two entries<All DETECTOR zones -> OFF> to switch all zones OFF
<All DETECTOR zones -> ON> to switch all zones ON

Browsing Methods
Concept The AlgoRex system uses an object oriented operation concept, i.e. the available functional-ity is determined by the features of the current object (e.g. a specific node in the logical orphysical tree).
You first have to specify the object which shall be handled. Then the available functionalityresults from the selected object.
So you always have to select a specific node (this is called: you 'browse to a node') and thenyou decide what has to be done with it.
Example You want to switch off a zone:
1. You get to that specific 'detector zone' node. There you will have all functions available for'detector zone' nodes (these functions differ from that of other nodes).
2. Then you select the function to switch off that zone.
Browsingmethods
There are three different possibilities to get to a specific node:
• Tree browsing• Direct access via address• Direct access via message
iIn this document the 'Tree browsing' method is used to set a specific state. To reset back tothe original state, whenever possible the 'Direct access via message' method is used.
Tree browsing Browsing always starts on top level of the (inverse) tree and follows the branches down tothe desired node.
The accessible nodes are determined by the current access level.
This is the most universal method and can always be utilized.
Example A zone shall be switched off:
1. You navigate to the specific zone, using the following softkeys:
<Operate..>▼
<Browse..>▼
<Browse FIRE DETECTION..>▼
<Select SECTION�>▼
<Select ZONE�>
2. Now all available functions are displayed and the zone can be switched off by selectingthe softkeys <Zone -> OFF..> and <OFF>

16Fire & Security ProductsSiemens Building Technologies Group

Browsing Methods, Continued
Direct accessvia address
Three different addresses can be used:• CSX number• Plan number• Group and address number
This method can only be used if the required address information is known. It may be avail-able on the display or written to the detectors or be known from floor plans.The availability off address information on the display can be configured by the service engi-neer
Example A zone shall be switched off. It's CSX number is 01/003/006/001.
1. You get to the required direct access menu by using the following softkeys:
<Operate..>▼
<Direct access..>▼
<Enter LOGICAL ADDRESS (CSX)..>
2. Now you are prompted by the following message to enter the CSX number:
Enter CSX NUMBERAA/SSS/ZZZ/EEE
v (The cursor moves automatically01/003/006/___ with each number entered.)
3. After having completed the entry, select softkey <Jump to> or press <✓ >. The selectednode and all available functions are displayed.
4. Now you can continue by selecting the softkeys <Zone -> OFF..> and <OFF>
Direct accessvia message
Using this method always makes sense if a specific message of the abnormal state is visiblein one of the 4 message categories (Alarms, Faults, Isolation, Information).
It is the quickest accessing method.
Example A zone which is in the off state shall be switched on. This zone has generated an 'Isolation'message:
1. Press key <Isolation> to select this message (eventually message scrolling may be re-quired)
2. Then select softkey <Functions for sel. message..>: All available functions are displayed
3. Now the zone can be switched on by selecting the softkeys <ON/OFF functions..> and<Zone -> ON>.

How to SWITCH a single ZONE (ROOM) OFF / ON ?
When does azone have to beswitched OFF
ZONES equipped with automatic fire detectors or manual call points can be temporarilyswitched off (isolated).This is only necessary in exceptional situations, for example, while major construction is inprogress:• ZONE with smoke detectors � if smoke or dust is produced by unusual work• ZONE with heat detectors � if heat or steam is produced by unusual work• ZONE with manual call point � if there is a possibility of inadvertent actuation
iAs soon as conditions have returned to normal, isolated ZONES must be immediatelyswitched on again.NOTE:An isolated zone does not generate any alarm-, warning- or fault messages.

How to SET MODE 'DETECTOR TEST' per SECTION ?
Some notesabout mode'Detector test'
Testing detectors (or manual call points) is normally done on section level, but is also possi-ble on line or on zone level.
It is not possible to set an element (an individual fire detector or manual call point) to 'De-tector test'.
Sections and zones set to 'Detector test' are displayed spontaneously as a message in the’Isolation’ category.
For what zonesis it available?
The command is available for zones with interactive, AnalogPLUS, MS9i, CBA and collectivedevices.
How does itwork?
If a device is activated, its alarm indicator starts flashing for some seconds and a corre-sponding message appears on the terminal during this time.
In mode 'Detector test’ detectors respond faster.
No real alarm is generated!
What means'per SECTION'?
Per SECTION means all detector (or manual call point) zones within a SECTION.
NOTE The same procedures for TEST and TEST OFF applies for manual call point zones
How to use thischapter
This chapter shows how to set on and off the mode 'Detector test'.☞ For a description on how to do the actual testing see the following chapters:• "How to TEST AUTOMATIC DETECTORS ?" on page 47• "How to TEST MANUAL CALL POINTS ?" on page 48

How to PERFORM INSTALLATION TEST ?
What is themode 'Installa-tion test' for ?
The mode 'Installation test' allows to test the correct function of the whole fire detection sys-tem including fire controls, acoustical alarm devices, etc. All functions remain enabled.Make sure that the remote transmission is switched off or the fire department is informedabout the test activities.
In mode ’Installation test’ interactive, AnalogPLUS and CBA devices respond faster (re-sponse behavior as in mode 'Detector test').
After the test work has been completed immediately cancel the mode 'Installation test'.
Mode 'Installation test' is normally enabled and disabled on the level ’ZONE’ but also possi-ble on the level ’SECTION’
The mode ’Installation test’ shall be carried out only by security staff and serves basically totest the alarm organization and fire controls.

How to SET MODE 'RENOVATION' ?
What is themode 'Renova-tion' for ?
Mode ’Renovation’ is a special feature of interactive DO and DOT detectors and only avail-able on level ’ZONE’.
In mode 'Renovation', interactive automatic detectors are much less sensitive. This may berequired while unusual work is in progress (e.g. during renovation of a building).
The fire detection system remains working, the remote transmission of alarm and fault mes-sages is enabled.
Detectors in the mode ’Renovation’ are from the insurance and approval point of view out oforder. This is why the ’isolation’ message is generated.
Manual call points work as in normal operation mode.

Operation Elements Overview
Types ofOperation
• Danger managing operations must be easily accessible. Easy handling is also required forsome frequently used functions.They are called 'primary functions' and are accessed via 'primary menu' or by functionkeys.
• Other operations of lower importance or lower frequency of occurrence need not havesuch a subtle access. They are accessed via 'main menu'
Keys andMenus
We distinguish the following operation elements:• Display keys (Softkeys, Scroll keys)• Function keys• Numeric keypad• The keyswitch
Display keys These comprise two types of keys.• Keys to control the messages such as scrolling and selecting of messages.• Keys to control the menu and to release functions via menu.
Function Keys To operate the AlgoPilot panel a variety of function keys are provided. These keys allow di-rect access to specific functions.
NumericKeypad
Used for the entry of numeric values such as passwords, or addresses.The numeric keypad also includes the ok key (<✓ >) and the cancel key (<�>).
Keyswitch a somehow special access element is the keyswitch. However it is optional and therefore notalways equipped.

Menu Operation via Softkeys
Introduction • Many interactions between user and system take place via display and softkeys.• The display serves not only to show system states, it also provides a menu which can be
operated via associated softkeys.
Operatingaccess
If there is no operating access when starting to operate, the system asks to log in.
Example ofuser interactionvia menu(softkeys)
The system gives the user the information about 2 pending alarms. At the same time the ap-propriate menu is displayed.Via associated softkeys the user can• Call the intervention text (➊ )• Display the functions for the selected message (➋ )
- or -• Change to the main menu (➌ )
- or -• Display the elements in alarm (➍ )

Menu Types and Characteristics
Introduction The menu consists of two main levels:• 'Primary menu'• 'Main menu'
Menus may be extended by• Submenus• Extended menus
The menu is displayed in the lower part of the display.It may consist of a maximum of 6 softkeys. They are arranged both up to 3 to the left and tothe right side.
Characteristicsof the menus
• By default the primary menu is displayed.• The menus are state and context dependent, i.e. they depend on the actual state of the
system (e.g. normal operation, alarm, ...) and on the selected message.• Only functions allowed to the user are displayed in the menus.• Menus with too many items to display on the same level get an associated extended
menu.• Functions may also be grouped in submenus.• The menu has a tree structure of varying depth.• Navigation softkeys allow to switch from one menu to another.• In each menu at least one softkey is a navigation softkey.
Naming ofsoftkeys
The name of the softkey explains the functionality behind it. It may be a function which isexecuted immediately, e.g. <LED TEST> or it may lead to a submenu, e.g. <HARDWARElevel..>, with another set of functions behind.There are also some predefined navigation softkeys.
Softkeypresentation
• Softkeys which are followed by 2 dots (..) signify that there is another menu behind.Example: <Operate..>, <HARDWARE level..>
• Softkeys without these dots are commands which are immediately executed.Example: <LED TEST>, <Back to MAIN MENU>
Primary menu By default the primary menu is displayed. The softkeys vary depending on the state of thesystem:
With message(s)Without messages
Alarm message other message

Menu Types and Characteristics, Continued
Main menu The main menu consists of up to 6 predefined softkeys. One of them is the navigation soft-key <Escape>, which leads back to the primary menu. With the other 5 softkeys all availablefunctions of the system can be accessed.
Left softkeys Right softkeys
Settings..
Alarming..
Direct access..
Browse..
Escape
Submenu Softkeys which are followed by 2 dots (..) lead to a submenu. As well as the primary or themain menu a submenu can contain softkeys for executable functions or softkeys to accessothers submenus.Submenus denote a hierarchy. This leads to a menu tree.
Extended menu If there are too many functions on the same hierarchical level to be displayed, the menu maybe extended. This is not an extension like a submenu, for all softkeys still are on the samehierarchical level.
State depend-ency
The menu only shows allowed functions. It also considers the state of the actual part of thesystem, e.g. zones.
Example:
Commands to switch zones depending on the actual state:
IF all zones = ON IF all zones = OFF IFMixed states of zones
in that section
All DETECTOR zones-> OFF
All DETECTOR zones-> ON
DETECTOR zonesON/OFF functions..
THENThe zones are switched immediately
with these commands
All DETECTOR zones-> ONAll DETECTOR zones-> OFF
THENThe zones are switched via
this submenu

Menu Navigation
Introduction This chapter describes how to navigate on the different menu levels and how to change fromone level to another.
Operatingaccess
If there is no operating access when starting to operate, the system asks to log in.
Navigationpaths
• You can change from primary menu to main menu and vice versa.• From the main menu you can enter into submenus which may call other submenus.• From a submenu you can return back either to the calling level or directly to the main
menu.• Within extended menus you can switch back and forth.• There are some predefined navigation softkeys.
Primary andMain menu
To get to the main menu select softkey <Operate..>.To go back to primary menu select softkey <Escape>.
Accessingmessage spe-cific functions
To operate messages in the display, select the specific message by using the category se-lection keys and the display scroll keys. Then select softkey <Functions for sel. mes-sage..> to get the menu with all available functions for that specific message.
Example:
Entering asubmenu
As many submenus exist, it does not make sense, to list all possible submenus. But let'shave an example:Via main menu we can enter submenu <Alarming..> and from there go to submenu <Alarmhorns..>, where we have access to the following functions:• <Alarm horn -> START>• <Alarm horn -> TEST>• <Alarm horn -> OFF>
Returning froma submenu
The navigation softkeys to go back to the calling menu depend on the context. But at leastone navigation softkey (<Back> or <Back to MAIN MENU>) is included in a submenu.
Extended menu To switch back and forth within the hierarchical equal functions the softkeys<More functions..> and <Previous functions..> are provided. This is comparable to scroll-ing on a display.

Operation Access and Access Rights
User Category
What is it? There are several categories of users. Each category has its own privileges for operation.
Characteristics • To each user category a specific access level is assigned.• Each access level has its own password.
Password
Characteristics • The password is a sequence of up to 8 digits.• A password is defined for a particular access level.• It is defined by the service engineer in the system configuration.
Passwordquery
Text on the display which demands the password entry
Passwordentry
Password entry made by the user
Keyswitch • Used to grant access to users possessing a key. So these users need not know a code.• Access to different access levels is not possible.• The keyswitch is optional, i.e. it is not always equipped.

Access Level
Available levels The following access levels exist:
Access level Access to Privileges
1 Everybody 'Acknowledge' and 'Scroll' functions only2.1 Operator 1 with limited privileges (e.g. janitor)2.2 Operator 2 with extended privileges (e.g. security officer)3 Service with full privileges (for service engineer)
Effect of ac-cess levels
The range of accessible functions as well as the visible softkeys depend on the given accesslevel.☞ see chapter "Function Lists �" on page 125.
How to changeaccess level
There are two ways to change the access level:• Password entry• Actuating the keyswitch (if equipped)• As a mixed form it is possible to actuate the keyswitch (if equipped) to get access level 2.1
e.g. and later to enter password to get access to a higher level.
When can ac-cess levels bechanged
Changing of access level is only possible if the primary menu is selected.You can start to operate with one access level and then change to another.
Assigning func-tions to accesslevels
The range of accessible functions is defined for each access level by the service engineer.

Logout
What is it? Logout sets the access level back to access level 1.
How to log out? There are 3 kinds of logout:• Logout by timeout• Logout by keyboard• Logout by keyExplicit logout is only required if logged in by key. It is not necessary if logged in by pass-word. Nevertheless it may be used to enforce a logout.
Logout bytimeout
Operating is inhibited automatically if no key is pressed within a certain time (timeout = 1..10minutes or 0. Timeout = 0 means: no logout timeout. Timeout is set by the service engineer).Of course there is no automatic logout if the key is in horizontal position.
Logout by Key-board
This picture shows how an explicit logout can be enforced (if the key is not in horizontal posi-tion).

• This is a countdown time that is active for automatic detectors when the system operatesin 'Manned' mode.
• Checks whether someone acknowledges the danger alarm message within the prepro-grammed time.
• On expiration of this time the alarm is transmitted to the fire department.• The remaining time is displayed in minutes and seconds.
Alarm investi-gation time 'V2'
• This is a countdown time that is active for automatic detectors when the system operatesin 'Manned' mode.
• Limits the time for investigating the fire location to an individually programmed time.• On expiration of this time the alarm is transmitted to the fire department.• The remaining time is displayed in minutes and seconds.• In case of minor incidents, an alarm must be reset before V2 expires to avoid unnecessary
alarm remote transmission.

Alarm / CAC: Cerberus Alarm Concept, Continued
Dependencies Whether CAC applies or not depends on the operating mode and on the detector type:
Danger messageOperating mode
'Manned'Operating mode
'Unmanned'Manual callpoint actuated
The alarm remote transmission is activatedimmediately.
The alarm remotetransmission is acti-vated immediately.
Automatic firedetectorresponded
The Alarm remote transmission is delayed forthe short time V1 to leave time to the respon-sible person to decide what action has to betaken.
In general this person will acknowledge thealarm what starts time V2. During this timethe fire location can be inspected.
At the fire location the decision if it is a realfire which needs help of the fire brigade mustbe taken. In case of real fire the nearestmanual call point must be pressed.In case of minor incident the person takes thenecessary actions and resets the alarm.
If the responsible person is not able to ac-knowledge within V1 or to reset within V2 thefire brigade is alerted automatically.
The alarm remotetransmission is acti-vated immediately.

Fault
What is 'Fault' Abnormal system states e.g. caused by defective devices or installation.
iFault messages require an immediate response.
Isolation
What is 'Isola-tion'
'Isolation' denotes the state where one or several parts of the system are temporarilyswitched off.
Examples Some parts of the system which can temporarily be isolated: Zones, elements, horns, remotetransmissions, printers.
iIsolating system parts disables their functionality. Isolation has to be used with extreme care.As soon as conditions have returned to normal, isolated system parts must be immediatelyswitched on again.
Information
What is 'Infor-mation'
• All other messages, such as manned/unmanned.• Information messages do not require an immediate response.

Remote Transmission
What is'Remote trans-mission'?
In the event of a FIRE ALARM the remote transmission calls the fire department.For FAULT there is normally a separate transmission path.
Types of 'Re-mote trans-mission'
There are three types of remote transmissions which can be switched off separately:• Remote transmission of fire alarms• Remote transmission of fault messages• Remote transmission of other messages
When is the'Remote trans-mission'switched off?
Normally the remote transmission operates in active stand-by.
It is only switched off in special cases, for example, for testing the control functions.
How to switchoff the 'Remotetransmission'?
All types of remote transmission can be switched off/on by menu.However for the remote transmission of fire alarms in addition to that a separate functionkey is provided.
LED and keyfor alarm re-mote transmis-sion
The following LED and key are affected:• Key <Remote alarm off> ➊ on the control panel performs switching over.• LED ➋ indicates the 'OFF' state.
Key ➊ Performs switching overRemote alarmoff
12
LED ➋ ON : REMOTE transm. 'fire' = offOFF : REMOTE transm. 'fire' = stand-by
Testing the'Remote trans-mission'
The remote transmission must periodically be checked by activating a manual call point.
NOTE:The fire department must be notified before the test is initiated.

Detector Test
What is the 'De-tector test'mode for ?
The mode 'Detector test' allows individual on-site function testing of automatic fire detectorsand manual call points without generating an alarm message.
Automatic firedetectors
Automatic fire detectors are actuated with a special detector tester.Interactive detectors are set to the special parameter set ’Test’ in order to achieve a fast ac-tivation with the detector tester.
Manual callpoints
Manual call points are activated depending on the type:• From externally without breaking the glass pane or opening the housing.• Simply by opening the door of the manual call point.
Test alarm Test alarm is the active state of automatic fire detectors or manual call points in 'Detectortest' mode. A test alarm does not generate a danger message in the control panel. Thatmeans that neither acoustical alarm devices nor remote transmission or any other controlfunctions are activated.
Test alarms are recorded in the event memory and logged spontaneously, if a printer is con-nected.
Recommenda-tions for detec-tor test
• Perform the function test periodically. The interval of this test is determined by the serviceengineer.
• Switch only the fire detectors of one SECTION at a time to 'Detector test', never the entirebuilding.
• For manual call points the function test needs to be performed only based on a spot-check.
• Test automatic fire detectors and manual call points of the same room always separately.• Do not set them to 'Detector test' simultaneously.• After the test work has been completed immediately cancel the mode 'Detector test'.
Test timeout A timeout can be programmed per zone after which the zone switches back from operationmode 'Test' to the previously selected mode.
i☞ For more information about testing automatic detectors and manual call points see thefollowing chapters:• "How to TEST AUTOMATIC DETECTORS ?" on page 47• "How to TEST MANUAL CALL POINTS ?" on page 48

Detector Parameter Sets
What can bedone?
Interactive detector(s) can temporarily be set to a less sensitive parameter set, e.g. whilework is in progress (alternative to mode 'Renovation').
What is the'Smoke Sensi-tivity Index'?
• To simplify the comparison of smoke sensitivities between the parameter sets, we arespecifying an AlgoRex smoke sensitivity index.
• Please note, that this index is a relative figure, where ’2’ means an increased sensitivity bya factor of 2 (compared to the parameter set with index ’1’).
• Therefore the detector will alarm at half the smoke density if measured in the CEN smoketunnel according to EN54.
• An AlgoRex smoke sensitivity index of ’0’ means 'no alarm with smoke only'.
What is the'ResponseTime'?
Approximate response time when activating the detector with Siemens test gas in normaloperating state (the above stated values in seconds cannot be compared with a real firesituation)
NOTE All values are approximative!

Timeouts
What is it? A timeout is a certain predefined time• after which a specific action is executed
- or -• which defines how long a certain state will last
What typesexist?
In AlgoRex on the terminal the following types of timeout are known:• Operation timeout• Backlight timeout• Logout timeout• Result timeout
How is ittriggered?
A timeout is started with each manual operation. If the timeout is still running, it is restartedwith each following input.
Operationtimeout
Defines the delay time the system waits after an operation before it changes back to displaythe current messages.This timeout can be configured for operation with and without pending alarms.
Backlighttimeout
Defines how long the display illumination remains on after a user input. This timeout can beconfigured per message category ('Danger', 'Fault', Isolation', 'Information').
Logout timeout Defines the delay time after an user input until the system performs an automatic logout.
Result timeout Defines how long the result of an operation (e.g. INFORMATION 'function unit') is shown onthe display.
How can theTimeouts beconfigured?
All these timeouts can be configured by the service engineer.
