Autronica Fire and Security AS
Page 8
3. Verifying the Loops
3.1 AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool
All loops should be verified with the AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool
before startup. Although this is presumably already done at an earlier
stage (shortly after the installation), it is recommended that all loops
are verified once again in case minor changes have been done. By
doing this, you will eliminate possible pr ob lems which could occur
during the startup procedure and upgrading of configuration data.
The AS-2000 allows you to find all points connected to the selected
loop driver, and present them graphically.
AS-2000 can be connected directly to an AutroSafe
operating panel, or directly to a detection loop by means of an
external interface unit, WAS-2000.
3.2 Verification Procedure
Pressing the START button in the Topology window (AS-2000) tells
AS-2000 to find all points connected to the selected loop driver, and
present them graphically in a correct electrical sequence. Points will
be presented with unique symbols for each type of Loop Unit, and wi th
important information such as Production Number (PN), and the Loop
Sequence Index (LSI). In case of illegal topologies, like multiple
branch-offs and loop breaks, these will be presented with selfexplaining symbols.
Use the AS-2000 to;
register all loop units on each loop, including:
− the Loop Unit type
(detector type, manual call point, electronic sounder, I/O unit)
− Loop Sequence Indexes LSI
(order/location)
register all branch offs and loop break positions
locate any breaks on the loop wire (both positive and negative
wires)
measure the loops’ total resistance, current consumption and
voltage drop
earth fault
You will find detailed information on the installation and use of
AS-2000 in the User Guide, AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool.

4.3 Importing Loop Data from the AS-2000 Tool
The AutroSafe Configuration Tool features an Import command
allowing you to import loop data directly from the AS-2000 Loo p
Diagnostic tool. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the point types
and sequence indexes in the configuration will be identical to the real
loop. Tag Names and optional Detection Zones (DZs) will be assigned
to the points during import.
For further information, refer to the Help System for AutroSafe
Configuration Tool and the User Guide for the AS-2000 Loop
Diagnostic Tool.
4.4 Consistency Check Using the
AS-2000 / Config Mismatch Tool
4.5 Generating Configuration Files
System configuration is done from a computer by the means of the
AutroSafe Configuration Tool. This tool allows you to generate
configuration files, which then can be uploaded to target after the
system has been verified.
The AutroSafe Configuration Tool allows you to do a
consistency check of configuration data by means of a menu
called AS-2000 / Config Mismatch Tool (in the Tool menu).
This feature allows you to easily compare the actual
configuration data downloaded from a detection loop and
imported to the AutroSafe Configuration Tool (using
the AS-2000) with the configuratio n d ata you have entered in
the AutroSafe Configuration Tool.

5.1.3 AutroFieldBus Addresses
Each AutroFieldBus unit/Power Board BSF-400 on an AutroFieldBus
must be assigned a unique address by means of an rotary switch (see
previous page).
The drawing below shows the AutroFieldBus connections on the main
terminal block, list L1 mounted on a DIN rail inside the cabinet
(BS-420/BC-420). The first AutroFieldBus unit is connected to the
terminals L1.9 / L1.11 (AFB A). The last unit is connected to L1.3 /
L1.5 (AFB B).

A maximum of 31 AutroFieldBus units can be connected to one
AutroFieldBus, giving the number range 01 to 31. The physical
addresses are set by means of the rotary switches on the board.
The illustration below shows an example of the system topology
window. 4 AutroFieldBus units are added to the AutroFieldBus
interface.
The sequence of the units in the topology window determines the
switch settings on each unit, i.e. the first unit (the uppermost unit in
the topology window) is to be given switch address 01, the next is to
be given switch address 02, and so on.
Note that the physical sequence of AutroFieldBus units on the
AutroFieldBus must not necessarily corres p ond to the s equence
shown in the topology window, however this is recommended.

5.2 Calibration Procedure - Power Unit BPS-410
When using Power Unit BPS-410 (including a 24V/10A power supply),
a calibration procedure must be performed. This is necessary in order
to obtain a correct temperature compensated charging voltage to the
batteries. The procedure is as follows:
Before applying power to the system, the power supply’s
temperature sensor (thermistor delivered with the power unit) must
be temporarily replaced with a fixed 2,2k resistor (terminal point 2
and 6 from the left, marked with a stippled line from terminal point
2 to the thermistor symbol at point 6).
Apply power to the system by connecting the mains cable to the
mains socket or by switching the power ON from an external main
fuse box.
Measure the voltage on the BSF-400’s battery terminals (BATT +/-)
while adjusting the voltage with a small screw driver to 27,4V on
the power supply (OUT ADJ).
Disconnect mains power from the power supply and remove
charger fuse F8.
Remove the resistor and reinsert the thermistor.
Insert the charger fuse F8 and re-connect mains power to the
power supply.

6. Addressing Panels
6.1 Definitions
6.1.1 Network ID
A panel’s Network ID indicates which system and unique configuration
a panel belongs to. All panels communicating on the same AutroNet
network must have the same Network ID, usually set to 01 (switch
setting; rotary switches X5 and X3).
The Network ID also determines the specific number series of the IP
Addresses (which are set during commissioning by operating the
AutroSafe menu).
6.1.2 Panel ID
Each panel in the system must be assigned a unique Panel ID (switch
setting; rotary switches X6 and X4, plus the settings of dip-switch S2).
For each different panel type (i.e. BS-420 or BU-420) the addressing
on the rotary switches always starts on 0-1.
The Configuration Tool generates a catalogue structure with the
following number series of Panel IDs for the different panel types.
(Note that the physical adressing on the rotary switches does not
follow the numbering series generated by the Configuration Tool).

6.3 Assigning Network IDs
The settings of the rotary switches X5 and X3 determine the panel’s
Network ID, i.e. which system and unique configuration the panel
belongs to.
All panels communicating on the same AutroNet network must have
the same Network ID, usually set to 01.
X5 is set to 0
X3 is set to 1
If there is a second network, this network can be set to 02, a third can
be set to 03, etc.
Switch X5 corresponds to the most significant digit in the address.

6.4 Assigning Panel IDs
Each panel in the system must be assigned a unique Panel ID (switch
setting; rotary switches X6 and X4, plus the settings of dip-switch S2).
For each different panel type (i.e. BS-420 or BU-420) the addressing
on the rotary switches always starts on 0-1.
Note that a standalone Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-420 always has
Panel ID=00.
Switch X6 corresponds to the most significant digit in the address.
Note that the correct switch settings for the panel type in question is
preset at the factory (dipswitch S2) - except for the BU-BV-420 panel,
as this panel can be defined both as a Information Panel and Fire
Brigade Panel.
The following table deals with the Panel IDs when several panels
communicate on the AutroNet (local area network).

8. Startup Procedure
When the AutroFieldBus units (Power Boards BSF-400, BSD-321 and
all panels) have been addressed, and the configuration files have
been generated by means of the AutroSafe Configuration Tool, power
is to be applied to the system.
The commissioning can take place from any Fire Alarm Control Panel
BS-420 or Operator Panel BS-430 in the system (freely selected
panel).
During uploading of configuration files (or system software), the
system may report possible faults. If such fault messages occur, the
panel in question should be rebooted (Service
Menu/Upgrade/Reboot). For detailed information on possible errors,
refer to chapter 12, Fault Messages during Uploading.
8.1 Applying Power to the System
Always connect the cables to the batteries first, then power up the
system by connecting the mains cable to a mains socket (230V/115V
AC) or by switching the power ON from an external main fuse box.
When power is applied to the system the very first time, an
initialization of the system will automatically take place.
Apply power to the system.
The display will show the following information (example):

Check the alarm transference outputs by connecting from outgoing outputs (potential free
relay and 24V output) activated by alarm in a zone.
10
Check the fault warning function from detector zones by removing a detector in each zone.
Activate a fault (remove battery fuse) and observe:
- the Fault indicator starts to blink
- a fault warning is displayed
- the internal buzzer is turned ON
- the Fault Warning Routing Equipment (FWRE) output i s activated (if any)
11
Verify all conditions, i.e.:
- Fire Alarm condition
- Fire Warning condition
- Fault Warning condition
- Disablement condition
- Test condition
12
On completion of checks, ensure that only the green "Power" indicator is ON when the
panel is in its idle state (normal operation).
13
Enable alarm transference to the Fire Alarm Routing Equipment -FARE output.
9.2 Verifying Detection Loops During Normal Operation
It may be necessary to verify the detection loops (checking the loop
topology, the types of loop units, the location of loop units, the Loop
Sequence Indexes, etc.) during normal operation using the AS-2000
Loop Diagnostic Tool.
Before applying the tool, prepare the system for the verification as
follows:
Enter the Service Menu (5), select Upgrade (5), then Reboot
System (6).
The system will now enter system fault condition.
Remove fuse A1 and A2 from the Power Board BSF-400.
Connect and apply the tool, and do the necessary verifications.
Alternative 1:
Disconnect a detection loop. Use the AS-2000 Was-box to verify
the loop. Perform a verification for each loop in turn.
Alternative 2:
Disconnect the ribbon cable to BSL-310. Connect the AS-2000.
Run an initialization.
When the verificat ion is co mpleted, disconnect the tool/PC, re-
connect the cables, then re-place the fuses.
Reboot the system again.

10. Upgrading the System
10.1 Introduction
After the very first startup of a system, a running system can be
upgraded at any time using the service menu commands (shown in
the next chapter). The upgrading can be performed from any Fire
Alarm Control Panel BS-420 or Operator Panel BS-430 in the system
(a freely selected panel).
Note that once you have selected a “master” panel for upgrading, the
system will temporarily block all other panels during the upgrade
procedure, preventing the system from being upgraded from other
panels.
This chapter deals with upgrading by means of a USB memory stick.
Upgrading can also be performed by using a computer remotely
connected to a web site (refer to separate handbook).
10.2 Upgrading During Normal Operation (SW/Config)
10.2.1 Introduction
The Service Menu includes submenus which allows you to upgrade
both the system software and the configuration (or either of them)
during normal operation (see following chapters).
Note that if both the software and the configuration are to be
upgraded, the system software and configuration have to be
supported by the same config model. As a general rule, if both the
software and the configuration are to be upgraded, always upgrade
the software version first, then the configuration.
To use the Service Commands, access level 3 is required (refer to
Operator’s Handbook).
Upgrade
Upgrade SW
Upgrade Config
Export Config

View Upgrade Status
Reboot System
After an upgrade, a reboot must always be executed for changes
to take effect (software and/or configuration ugrade).
Note that it is possible to upgrade both software and the
configuration in turn bef ore r eboot in g, i.e. it is not nece s s ar y to
reboot after each single upgrade.
NOTE:
When upgrading the
system by means of a
USB memory stick, do
not remove the USB stick
from the USB port until
you are sure that the
upgrade procedure is
completed.
Enter the menu “View
Upgrade Status” to follow
the progress and verify

10.3 Upgrading when Panels are Added/Remo ved
If panels are added or removed, or it is necessary to change IP
addresses, a reboot must be executed. The continuing procedure is
similar to the startup procedure, chapter 8.
Go to chapter 8 and follow the procedure.
10.4 Upgrading if IP Addresses are to be Changed
If it is necessary to change IP addresses, a reboot must be executed.
The continuing procedur e i s desc r ibed in the startup procedure,
chapter 8.
Go to chapter 8 and follow the procedure.
10.5 Upgrading a Single Panel
If a single panel in a network system for some reason has a wrong
software and/or configuration version, the process of upgrading the
entire system could be both unnecessarily time-consuming, or even
impossible if the software versions are incompatible. To simplify the
version correction in such a case, the system features an upgrade
procedure of a single panel. Before the upgrade procedure is carried
out, the file name of the software and/or configuration file has to be
changed.
Locate the software/configuration file(s) in question on your
computer.
Change the name of the software file:
Add the text _Recovery to the name of the software file as follows:
Example:
The file name AS_V4_3_0_0_C4_34.tar.bz2 is changed to
AS_V4_3_0_0_C4_34_Recovery.tar.bz2
Change the name of the configuration file:
Remove the text representing the “file name” (in this example,
Tiller) and replace it with the text Recovery:
Example;
AC_4_34_Tiller.tar.bz2 is changed to AC_4_34_Recovery.tar.bz2
Copy the file(s) onto your USB memory stick.
Insert the USB memory stick into one of the USB ports on the
BSA-400 Controller Board, then reboot the panel.
The panel will automatically be upgraded.
If the panel has a display, the process similar to the startup
procedure will be shown (chapter 8).
If the panel does not ha ve a display, the process will be indicated
by means of the yellow LED indicator D2 on the BSA-400 board as
follows (see illustration, chapter 10.7.3):
- Slow blink: upgrade in progress
-
Fast blink: upgrade failed
-
Steady yellow light: Upgrade completed, remove stick
to reboot the panel
NOTE:
Do not remove the
USB stick from the
USB port until you
are sure that the
upgrade procedure
is completed.

11. Startup Procedure for a Dual
Safety System
11.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the initial startup procedure of a system
consisting of a Primary System and a Secondary System (AutroSafe
Dual Safety concept).
In principle, the startup procedure is identical to the startup procedure
of a normal system, however, the startup procedure must be carried
out for each system in turn (both the Primary System and the
Secondary System).
The startup of the Primary System can take place from any selected
Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-420 or Operator Panel BS-430 belonging
to the Primary System. Likewise, the startup of a Secondary System
can take place from any panel belonging to the Secondary System.
There are two AutroKeepers BN-180 for each detection loop in a Dual
Safety System. One must be assigned to the Primary System and the
other to the Secondary System (dipswitch settings). Furthermore, the
type of protocol for the AutroFieldBus Protocol Converter BSD-321 (if
used) must be set to Al_Com+ (rotary switch setting).
In the following guidelines, a startup of the Secondary System is
carried out first, then the Primary System. When the startup of both
systems is completed, the Primary System will be in Active Mode (it
controls the detecton loops), and the Secondary System will be in
Standby Mode (ready to take over control of the detection loops).

11.2 Guidelines – Startup Procedure
The following guidelines apply:
Step Action Chapter
1
Perform the following actions for both the Primary and the
Secondary System:
Verify the detection loops by means of the AS-2000 tool.
Perform a consistency check of the configuration data using the
results from the AS-2000 verification and the data that has been
configured by means of the AutroSafe Configuration Tool.
Assign an AutroFieldBus address to each AutroFieldBus unit.
Assign a Panel ID to each panel by means of switches (dip-switches
and rotary switches on BSA-400).
Assign a Network ID to each panel by means of rotary switches (on
BSA-400).
Verify the system before startup (chapter 7).
3, 4, 5,
6 and 7.
2
Define the type of protocol and assign an Au troFieldBus address
on the AutroFieldBus Protocol Converte r BSD-321
The BSD-321’s default protocol by delivery is Al_Com+. If needed, the
procedure for selecting the protocol type is described below.
Set the actual AutroFieldBus address in the range of 1-31 according
to the specific configuration.
The type of protocol is defined by on-board rotary switches.
To select protocol type:
Apply power to the converter.
Set the switches to 70 (Al_Com+), then press the reset button.
The indicators will start flashing.
When the indicators stop flashing after a short while.
Set the actual AutroFieldBus address, then press reset.
