1. Introduction
1.1 About the Handbook
This document describes in detail how to configure site-specific
installations of the Autroprime Interactive Fire Detection System
by means of the operating buttons on the panel.
1.2 The Reader
This handbook is intended for technicians and service personnel
who are responsible for the site-configuration of the Autroprime
system. We assume that the reader is familiar with the manoeuvre
and utility buttons which are described in detail in the Operator’s
Handbook.

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-touse 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).

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.
2.3 Service Menu
The entire Service Menu is shown on the next page.

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. (Not applicable for BBL-100 and BBL-100/IP).

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
press Enter.
Use the arrow up/down buttons to select the Detection Loop
that is to be configured, then press Enter twice.
Type a new Name, or accept the existing one by pressing
the arrow down button.
Press Enter, use the arrow left/right button to select (if allowed by
the system) if the preset loop current shall be overrided,
then press Enter.
Press Enter, use the arrow left/right button to set the limit for
maximum loop current, then press Enter.
To confirm, press Enter once more.
