Introduction

1.4 Ready-to-use in a Pre-configured State

Autroprime is provided to the user in a pre-configured state, in this state the panel is set to recognize detectors and other loop units connected to the detection loops and the availability of routing equipment, etc. As such, the system is fully functional and ready-to-use simply by turning ON the power, but not configured to respond in any non-default way. A functional verification of the panel is run to assure the panel itself is fully functional. By default the system has one Detection Zone and one Alarm Zone. A point in alarm will activate all Fire Alarm Devices and Fire Alarm Routing Equipment. Site-specific configuration can be performed by means of the panel buttons. Refer to chapter 2.1, Site-specific Configuration.

1.5 Saving a Configuration and Restarting the System

Note that you always have to save a configuration and restart the system; after an initial startup (part of the start-up procedure) each time a configuration has been changed. This menu selections are found in the Service Menu/System Settings (see chapter 2).

1.6 Configuration Examples

Chapter 9 in this handbook deals with two configuration examples, one basic configuration example and an example with several alarm zones and control functions. These examples shows how to perform typical configurations of a medium-sized installation (to simplify the understanding of the configuration principle, the basic configuration example deals with one loop and 8 points only).

Service Commands


Page 10

2. Service Commands

2.1 Site-specific Configuration

Site-specific configuration can be performed by means of the panel buttons (configuration level 2), typically including: naming and assigning detectors/manual call points to Detection

Zones naming and defining the number and type of Detection Zones

(Immediate Action, Dependency Action, Delayed Action, Delayed Dependency Action, SOLAS)

assigning Fire Alarm Devices to Alarm Zones specifying the Detections Zones that can activate selected Alarm

Zones configuring “conditions” for outputs, for example, coincidence

action; meaning that at least two detectors in the same detection zone must be in alarm state before actions are initiated

assigning Detection Zones to disable devices (BW-200) All these options and many more are available in the Service menu.

2.2 Access Level 3 – Service Menu

From the operator panel you can perform service commands. To use the Service Commands, access level 3 is required.

Access Level Access Remedy Description

3 Password restricted Accessible by persons trained and authorized to do reconfiguration of site specific data and maintenance according to the manufacturer’s published instruction.

4 Mechanical tool Accessible by persons doing repair work and changing firmware.

3.4 Day Mode Operation Times

By default the entire system is set to Night Mode, meaning that the system is set to immediate output actioning. The system menu Day Mode Operation Times allows you to configure settings for automatic delay of the activation of outputs to Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and/or Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) at certain periods. The settings will only affect points that have been set to “Override Delay and Dependency NO” in detection zones configured as Delayed Action Detection Zones or Delayed Dependency Detection Zones. To achieve this, you simply choose the days in the week when you want the system to automatically enable the delays, plus the exact duration of the disablement in hours and minutes (the start time and end time). A maximum of 14 settings are available (for example, 7 days; 2 intervals per day, or, for example, 14 intervals for one specific day). Note that overlapping settings are not possible. From the Service Menu, perform the following: Press Enter to select System Settings. Press the arrow down button to select Day Mode Operation

Times, then press Enter twice. Use the left/right arrow button to select among the following days:

o Unspecified o Every day o Monday to Friday o Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday,

Sunday. Press Enter. Use the alphanumeric keypad to specify the start time*

(hours:minutes), then press Enter. Specify the end time* (hours:minutes), then press Enter. * Note that if an invalid input is given, a message indicating this will appear in the display. It is recommended that all settings (for example, settings for 4 different days) are done before the settings finally are confirmed. To view existing Day Mode Operation Times, refer to chapter 3.4.1. To add new Day Mode Operation Times to existing ones at a later point of time, refer to chapter 3.4.2. Press and hold down the Function button a few seconds

(“Long press to accept or cancel”). To confirm the new settings (Accept), press Enter.

Sound signal Default sound patterns Default Prolong Signal (the last bit)

Custom-defined Pattern 1 0000000000000000 0 seconds General Alarm Pattern 0101010101010101 2 seconds Evacuate Pattern 1100110011001100 0 seconds Alert Pattern 1000000010000000 0 seconds Custom-defined Pattern 2 0000000000000000 0 seconds Custom-defined Pattern 3 0000000000000000 0 seconds

Pattern Activation Detection zones are connected to alarm zones (Main Alarm Zones). An alarm signal from the detection zones activates the EVACUATE pattern in these alarm zones. Neighbour Alarm zones may be connected to the Main Alarm Zones. The Neighbour Alarm Zones will have the ALERT pattern activated. The remaining patterns may be activated from an input signal configured as “Activate all Alarms” (refer to 5.9.2). Be aware of the priority given in the table above. The following settings are available for each sound pattern: The Sound Pattern is set by choosing a predefined 16 bit number (binary) which determines the pattern (for example, the Alert Pattern, including the following bits; 1000000010000000). The one-digits correspond to ON, and the zero-digits correspond to OFF. Prolong Signal: It is possible to prolong the last signal (i.e. the last bit) for a chosen sound pattern from 1 to a maximum of 99 seconds. Sound Level: It is possible to choose between High, Medium or Low sound level. (Not applicable for BBL-100 and BBL-100/IP). Sound Tone: It is possible to choose between Continuous or Slow Whoop.

5.10 Loop I/O Carriers

5.10.1 Description

The loop units BN-303, BN-304, BN-305 and BN-306 are defined as Loop I/O Carriers. A Loop I/O Carrier is a loop unit hosting one or several I/O subunits. The Loop I/O Carrier itself and all the input/outputs are assigned separate loop unit IDs. The Loop I/O Carrier’s dipswitch setting determines which function is assigned to the inputs/outputs. A Loop I/O Carrier may only have one function, which falls into one of the following categories: Point

Inputs with function Prealarm and/or Alarm and/or Fault, all latching, except BN-30x/E Prealarm

Input Inputs are either On or Off Inputs may also give “Supervisory Alarm” (configurable)

Output Outputs are either On or Off

Outputs may also give "Supervisory Alarm" (configurable). Outputs configured to function K, L or M are either Steady On or Off. These units are also using sensor inputs (used for monitoring of the output). The sensor inputs are either On, Off, or Undetermined. The subunits of a Loop I/O carrier are also present in the listing of units of menu commands Points, Loop Inputs and Loop Outputs.

5.14 Detection Loops

This menu selection allows you to: define the name of a detection loop override the system calculated preset current set a different limit for the maximum possible loop current for a

selected detection loop. The following different default settings are possible: 100mA, 150mA, 200mA, 250mA, 300mA, 350mA and 400mA.

Note that the high current settings 300mA, 350mA and 400mA are only available with BSA-200A or BSD-200A (revision A required). Due to limitations of the power supply, the system will not allow configuration of a total loop current exceeding 1200 mA. When the system is powered up, or the loop driver is enabled, the system will automatically calculate and set a current limit which is optimized for each loop individually, depending on the number and type of loop units. If the operator has configured a maximum loop current value being higher than the system preset value, this value will not be changed by the system. In some cases the system may allow the operator to override the system preset loop current and decrease the maximum loop current to a value being 50 mA lower the preset loop current. This should only be used if the system reports a fault on the loop resistance being too high. Overriding and decreasing the preset loop current with 50 mA may be sufficient to avoid this fault. The maximum power consumption is determined by the following

parameters: o the number of loop units o the loop unit type, i.e. the specified maximum current for the

loop unit type From the Service Menu, perform the following: Use the arrow down button to scroll downwards to

Unit Configuration, then press Enter. Use the arrow down button to select Detection Loops, then

9. Configuration Examples

9.1 Before you Start

Autroprime is provided to the user in a pre-configured state, in this state the panel is set to recognize detectors and other loop units connected to the detection loops and the availability of routing equipment, etc. To simplify the understanding of the configuration principles, the first example (1) deals with 1 loop and 8 points only. The default setup provides the following: Loop Units/Points: All loop units, including; detectors, manual

call points (points), electronic sounders and I/O units, are automatically assigned addresses (sequencially numbered) starting with address A1001, followed by address A1002, A1003 and so on. The addresses are used as names in the configuration menu.

Detection Zones and Alarm Zones: By default the system has one Detection Zone and one Alarm Zone.

Activation of Outputs: A point in alarm will activate all Fire Alarm Devices and Fire Alarm Routing Equipment.

Detection Zone Type: All detection zones are defined as Immediate Action Detection Zones.

Based on this default configuration, a site-specific configuration can be carried out. The examples (example 1 and 2) in this chapter deals with a site-specific configuration of a typical medium-sized installation.



Page 118

9.2 Example 1: Basic Configuration Example

In the example, a building is divided into three different sections with a total of 4 detection zones. Detection Zones:

o Detection Zone 1 (green) o Detection Zone 2 (blue) o Detection Zone 3 (yellow) o Detection Zone 4 (purple)

All detection zones are defined as Immediate Action Detection Zones.

All loop units are connected to one detection loop. The system consist of 8 loop units (4 detectors, 1 manual

callpoint and 3 electronic sounders) The system has one Alarm Zone (red) One output is used for Fire Alarm Routing Equipment One output is used for Fault Warning Routing Equipment One output is used for Fire Alarm Devices (sounder) A sounder (FAD) is located outside at the front door. A point in alarm is to be configured to activate all Fire Alarm

Devices. A point in alarm is to be configured to activate all Fire Alarm

Routing Equipment.

In this way, prior to the site-specific configuration, you can verify that the system works properly using the default configuration. Furthermore, you will have a fully operational system while you are performing the site-specific configuration.

When the system reboot is completed, you can enter Service Mode, and start the first step of the site-specific configuration.



Page 122

9.2.5 Site-specific Configuration – Example 1

Step 1: Create Detection Zones and connect the points (loop units) to the Detection Zones (5.4.3) Note that the electronic sounders (Fire Alarm Devices, FADs) in this example are not to be connected to detection zones.

Add a site-specific name to each address (point) if needed (see chapter 9.2.7). For example, you can add CANTEEN to address A1001 (the name will appear as A1001 CANTEEN in the display if an event occurs). (5.4.2).

Step 2: Connect the new detection zones to the alarm zone (5.2.3) The new Detection Zones, DZ1, DZ2, DZ3 and DZ4 have to be connected to the Alarm Zone (Default Alarm Zone).

Step 3: Save the configuration and restart the system (3.2 and 3.3) When the site-specific configuration is completed, you have to save the new configuration and restart the system (refer to chapter 9.2.4).

In this example, only one Alarm Zone is defined. By default, all

Fire Alarm Devices are connected to the one default Alarm Zone. Therefore, no configuration is required (you do not have to connect Fire Alarm Devices to the Alarm Zone). Refer to chapter 5.5.3

In this example, all points activate outputs to Fire Alarm Devices

(FAD), Fault Warning Routing Equipment (FWRE) and Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE). As this specific functionality already is provided by the default configuration, no configuration is required. Refer to chapter 5.2.4, 5.4.4 and 5.6.

Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 have to be carried out in this example.

Detection Loop B covers the fire detection for this building (storage and workshop). Note that the configuration written in italic is already done in Example 1. The configuration now includes the following detection/alarm zones: 4 Detection Zones. Detection Zone 1, 2, 3 and 4 (already

configured in Example 1). 3 new Detection Zones, Detection Zone 5 (white), 6 (red) and 7

(grey) in the second building. 2 Alarm Zones (Alarm Zone 1 and 2), one assigned to each

building. Both zones are defined as Neighbour Alarm Zones. 1 Parent Alarm Zone. The manual call point in Detection Zone 6 is

connected to this top-level Alarm Zone. The following functionality is to be configured: One output is used for Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (relay

output 1, already configured in Example 1). One output is used for Fault Warning Routing Equipment (relay

output 2, already configured in Example 1). One output is used for the sounder outside the main building

(Alarm Zone 1). One output is used for the sounder outside the Storage/Workshop

building (Alarm Zone 2) One output is used for the ventilation control in the

Storage/Workshop building (open collector output 1). One output is used for door control in the main building (Sales

Office/Canteen/Corridor South, open collector output 2). Points in alarm in Detection Zone 1, 2, 3 and 4 are to be

configured to activate Fire Alarm Devices belonging to Alarm Zone 1 and to activate a Neighbour alarm in Alarm Zone 2.

Points in alarm in Detection Zone 5, 6 and 7 are to be configured to activate Fire Alarm Devices belonging to Alarm Zone 2 and to activate a Neighbour alarm in Alarm Zone 1.

A manual activation of the manual callpoint in Detection Zone 6 is to be configured to activate all Fire Alarm Devices belonging to Alarm Zone 1 and 2 (Parent Alarm Zone).

A point in alarm is to be configured to activate all Fire Alarm Routing Equipment.

9.3.1 Site-specific Configuration – Example 2

Step 1: Create the new detection zones and connect the points (loop units) to the new detection zones (5.4.3) All new points in the Storage/Workshop building have to be connected to the new detection zones, DZ5, DZ6 and DZ7. Note that the electronic sounders (Fire Alarm Devices, FADs) in this example are not to be connected to detection zones. Add a site-specific name to each new address (point) if needed

(9.2.7/ 5.4.2).

Step 2: Connect Fire Alarm Devices to new alarm zones (5.5.3) One FAD is to be connected to Alarm Zone 1 and another FAD is to be connected to Alarm Zone 2.

Step 3: Connect already configured detection zones to a new

alarm zone (Alarm Zone 1). (5.2.3) The detection zones, DZ1, DZ2, DZ3 and DZ4 have to be connected to the new Alarm Zone 1.

Step 4: Connect the new detection zones to a new alarm zone

(Alarm Zone 2). (5.2.3) The new detection zones, DZ5, DZ6 and DZ7 have to be connected to the new Alarm Zone 2.

Step 5: Define Alarm Zone 1 and Alarm Zone 2 as Neighbour

Alarm Zones (5.3.3) Step 6: Connect a point in Detection Zone 6 to the Parent

Alarm Zone (5.2.3) A manual activation of the manual call point in Detection Zone 6 is to be configured to activate all Fire Alarm Devices belonging to Alarm Zone 1 and 2 (Parent Alarm Zone).

Step 7: Configure outputs for ventilation control and door control

(5.4.4 and 5.2.4)

Step 8: Save the configuration and restart the system When the additional configuration is completed, you have to save the new configuration and restart the system (9.2.4/3.2/3.3).

In this example, all points activate outputs to Fire Alarm Devices (FAD), Fault Warning Routing Equipment (FWRE) and Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE). As this specific functionality already is provided by the default configuration, no configuration is required. Refer to chapter 5.2.4, 5.4.4 and 5.6.

Configuration Example 2 is based on the steps that are already performed in Configuration Example 1. The following steps cover the configuration that has to be added/changed in order to complete Configuration Example 2.

12.1 Alarm Organization

12.1.1 Detection Zones with Different Properties

When handling events in Operation Mode, it is important to be aware of how the alarm organization is configured, that is, the system’s detection zone configuration. The system provides the following types of detection zones with different properties: Immediate Action detection zone Dependency Action detection zone Delayed Action detection zone Delayed Dependency detection zone SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) detection zone The property of a detection zone as well as the type of point (detector or manual call point) will determine how the system responds to the signal - with respect to action.

12.1.2 The Actioning of Alarm Zones

The actioning of alarm zones can be controlled by detection zones, with or without Delay/Dependency properties. For example, a detection zone in alarm can activate a number of alarm zones. The delay period before activation can be defined according to the property of the chosen detection zone type. An alarm zone can give both an alarm signal and a neighbouring alarm zone signal with a different pattern. The top-level alarm zone (default) is called the Parent Alarm Zone. A system consists of a Parent Alarm Zone, usually with several “sub-level” alarm zones in an hierarchy. Each “sub level”-alarm zone is related to a specific area of, for example, a building. If an alarm occurs in a Parent Alarm Zone, all Fire Alarm Devices (FADs) within this zone, plus all FADs belonging to all “sub-level”-alarm zones will be activated.

Appendix


Page 143

12.1.3 Immediate Action Detection Zones

A signal from an Immediate Action detection zone, will initiate all actions immediately, without any delay. Immediate Action applies to all units that can be activated by a Immediate Action Detection Zone.

12.1.4 Dependency Action Detection Zones

In areas where points may be exposed to a high level of pollution, for example, unwanted alarms may occur. In order to avoid this problem, the Dependency Action alarm organization is used. A fire alarm signal from a single detector in a system defined as Dependency Action will initiate no actions, i.e. there will be no actioning of outputs to; Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) Fire Protection Equipment (FPE) Silent Alarm At least two detectors in the same detection zone must be in alarm state before actions are initiated. It is also possible to configure the system in such a way that a Large Alarm will be initiated if at least two detectors in the entire system are in alarm state, regardless of which detection zone each detector belongs to.

Note that an activation of a manual call point in a dependency action detection zone will always initiate actions (provided that the point has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, YES).

Appendix


Page 144

12.1.5 Delayed Action Detection Zones

Delays to any output depends on the Day Mode operation of the system (i.e. the LED for Delayed Action is ON). In Night Mode (i.e. the LED for Delayed Action is OFF) all outputs will be activated at first point in alarm. When the operator panel receives a fire alarm signal from a point in a Delayed Action detection zone (configurable), the actioning of outputs to Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and/or Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) can be delayed. The purpose of this type of alarm organization is to give an immediate warning, but to delay the activation of outputs. In this way the cause of the alarm can be investigated before the system automatically initiates the evacuation of the protected premises and signals the local fire brigade. Delayed Action is based on the first point reporting the fire. A second point in alarm in the same detection zone will not affect the delay of the connected outputs. In an alarm situation, the actioning of outputs will be delayed when the detection zone has been defined as a Delayed Action detection zone (configurable) and the point(s) in this Delayed Action detection zone has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, NO.

The operation of delays to outputs for Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) apply to: detectors and/or manual call points and/or signals from specific zones

The operation of delays to outputs for Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) apply to: detectors and/or signals from specific zones The delay is divided into two delay periods, Initial delay, T1 (configurable) and Prolonged Delay, T2 (configurable). The default value for T1 is 1 minute and 2 minutes for T2.

The T1 delay period is started when a Fire Alarm signal from a point is received. Acti ons will be initiated after the T1 delay period has expired. Pressing PROLONG DELAY, will terminate T1 and the delay period T2 will start.

Note that activation of a manual call point will normally give immediate output actioning (provided that the point has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, YES), even though the immediate output actioning has been disabled (configurable).

Appendix


Page 145

T1 for different detection zones may start at different times, however, when Prolong Delay has been pressed, T2 for all detection zones will start at the same time. If one or more Delayed Action detection zones have entered the Fire Alarm state and are in their T1 or T2 periods, the delayed actions can be immediately initiated by pressing the Activate Outputs button. Activation of a manual call point will also give immediate action (provided that the point has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, YES).

12.1.6 Delayed Dependency Detection Zones

Detection zones configured as Delayed Dependency Detection Zones have the following properties in Day and Night Mode: In Day Mode, outputs that are configured to be activated by these detection zones will operate according to their actual configuration, i.e. Silent Alarm, Small Alarm or Large Alarm as follows: When a fire alarm signal from the first detector in alarm is

received, the following will occur: o The detection zone will enter the Silent Alarm state, and all

FPE outputs configured to be activated on Silent Alarm will be activated. The T1 delay period will start.

o When the T1 delay period expires, the detection zone will enter the Small Alarm state. All FPE outputs configured to be activated on Small Alarm will be activated. The T2 delay period will start.

o When the T2 delay period expires, the detection zone will enter the Large Alarm state. All FPE outputs configured to be activated on Large Alarm will operate.

Note that, at any time, if an alarm from a second detector within the same detection zone is received, the detection zone will always enter the Large Alarm State. This means that all (not yet activated) FPEs configured to be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm will be activated.

In Night Mode, outputs are always activated on the first detector in alarm and the system will always enter the Large Alarm state. As with Day Mode this means that all (not yet activated) FPEs configured to be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm will operate.

Note that when a point sends an alarm signal, and this point has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, YES, the Delayed Dependency detection zone will enter the Large Alarm state directly, regardless of Day or Night Mode.

Appendix


Page 146

12.1.7 SOLAS Detection Zones

Note: Applies to Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-200M only. A detection zone configured as SOLAS Detection Zone (Safety of Life at Sea), has a two-minute delay from when a Point enters an alarm condition until the associated Detection Zone initiates the activation of the configured Fire Alarm Devices (FADs) and outputs. During this period a countdown timer is shown in the panel display and the user has the ability to block the activation of FADs and/or outputs during the two minute period. The Activate Outputs button can be used to activate the FADs and outputs that are in this two minute transition period or that have previously been blocked. It is also possible to configure a SOLAS Detection Zone to immediately activate certain FADs and outputs, without the two minute delay. These FADs and outputs will thus start to operate at the moment the first Point in a Detection Zone enters the Alarm condition. The Silence button can be used to control the FADs independently of the Block operation. The Silence function will affect all FADs that have been activated. Autroprime also has a Resound function that will reverse the effect of Silence.

12.1.8 Silent, Small and Large Alarm – Overview

A few differences can be found in national guidelines regarding alarm organization and output delays. To be able to meet these guidelines you can select between different types of detection zones and control the activation of outputs. Three “levels” have been defined regarding the progress of a fire alarm situation that can be utilized to activate outputs. If delays are activated, the normal situation will be that all activations will take place at the ‘Large Alarm’ level, both signalling the fire brigade (FARE), sounders (FADs) and any other delayed output (FPE). Activating outputs (FPE) at other levels may be obtained selecting these levels through configuration. Onboard (BSA-200) outputs may be configured to be dedicated outputs for the Silent Alarm and Small Alarm levels. In this case they will only be activated at these levels. The table on the next page indicates which levels are available for different types of detection zones.

Appendix


Page 147

Silent Alarm Any fire alarm signal will be indicated at the panel without any delay, and this is the Silent Alarm level. An output may be configured to be activated at this level, as an example to trigger a coded message through a voice alarm system or an output to make on site technical personnel aware of the situation. The delay timer T1 will be started and a countdown timer will be shown in the display. For a Delayed detection zone the operator may now initiate a prolonged T2 period. Small Alarm In the case of a Delayed Dependency detection zone there is an automatic transfer from the initial T1 delay period to the prolonged T2 delay period. When this transfer occurs the level will be increased to Small Alarm. Looking at a shopping centre this level may be used for another voice alarm message making the employees start the preparations for an evacuation. The display will show the T2 countdown. (Small alarm level is also shown for Delayed and Dependency zones, but should not be used as an activation criteria for outputs.) Large Alarm The table below shows that this level is the last one (or only) for all types of detection zones. There are different ways of getting to this level, either elapsed timers (T1 and/or T2), a second alarm signal or a panel operation. If not configured otherwise, all outputs will be activated at this level, fire brigade (FARE), sounders (FAD) and any other outputs (FPE).
