2. Panel Overview

2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 Panel Variants

The user interface and operation of the Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-420 and the Operator Panel BS-430 are identical. The panel is therefore referred to as the operator panel throughout this handbook (refer to chapter 2.2).

The Repeater Panel BU-BV-420 serves as both a Fire Brigade Panel and an Information Panel.

The Fire Brigade Panel is identical to the upper section of the operator panel (refer to chapter 2.3).

The Information Panel serves as an indic at ion devic e only. The LED indicators are identical to the ones on the upper section of the operator panel, but the panel provides different buttons (refer to chapter 2.3).

In addition, AutroSafe comprises standard loop panels; the Fire Brigade Loop Panel BU-110 and the Information Loop Panel BV-110. The functionality/operation (including buttons and indication devices) of these loop panels are, with few exceptions, similar to the Fire Brigade and Information panel, respectively.

2.1.2 Indication Devices

During normal operation when the power is ON, the Power indicator always displays a steady green light.

Apart from this, only indicators relevant to the actual condition are visible. For example, if a fault is present the fault indicator will have a yellow light.

The fire alarm control panel is available in three different variants

specifically designed for the onshore market (BS-420), maritime market (BS-420M) and petrochemical oil & gas market (BS-420G/BS420G2).

Functionality: The BS-420M, BS-420G and BS-420G2 ver sions meet the requirements of SOLAS Detection Zones. Only the BS-420G and BS-420G2 versions support PowerLoop (The Autronica loop communication protocol for high power gas and flame detectors).

Name of indicators/buttons: The name of the indicators and buttons are almost identical for all versions, with some exceptions. Refer to the description in this chapter.

2.2 Operator Panel

All alarm handling and system features can be configured, controlled and monitored from the operator panel (Fire Al arm Control Panel BS-420 / Operator Panel BS-430).

Each operator panel is assigned to one Operation Zone (refer to «Zonal Definitions» in Appendix). Relative to its own zone, an operator panel is local, while it is remote to operation zones which are not encompassed by the local zone. All events and actions occurring in a particular operation zone must be handled from a local operator panel.

The operator panel displays information on events occurring in all operation zones. However, the type of events and the level of details of the given information depends on which opera tio n z one the information is related to. Local panels will list all detection zones in fire alarm state. Remote operator panels will list remote alarms only, and function as «indication only» devices.

The operator panel consists of two main sections. The upper section, and the lower section which is the Operator Part.

The standard onshore market version BS-420 is shown below.

2.3 Repeater Panel BU-BV-420

The Repeater Panel BU-BV-420 serves as both a Fire Brigade Panel and an Information Panel.

Settings on a dipswitch determines the type of panel. Each panel type is described in the following chapters.

2.3.1 Fire Brigade Panel

The Fire Brigade Panel is intended to give information related to fire alarms in the relevant Operation Zone and allow the fire brigade to operate fire alarms. The panel is identical to the upper sec tion of the operator panel.

The panel is used to silence and resound sounders, and to reset fire alarms within a defined operation zone.

Each panel is assigned to one operation zone. Relative to its own zone, a panel is local while it is remote to all other operation zones. All events and actions occurring in a particular operation zone must be handled from a local panel.

The whole system can be reset from this panel, provided that the panel's relation to the operation zone is defined this way.

The panel displays information on fire alarms occurring in all operation zones. However, the level of details of the given information depends on which operation zone the information is related to.

2.3.2 Information Panel

The Information Panel is intended to give additional information related to the defined Operation Zone(s). The LED indicators are identical to the ones on the upper section of the operator panel, but the panel provides other buttons (Next Window and Lamp Test).

Information Panels are distributed throughout the system to give the general public information related to fire alarm situations. The panels serve as indication devices only.

The panel can display minimum information on fire alarms, warnings, faults, disablements and tests. No further details are available. Each of the conditions are presented in a separate condition window, in one mode only.

2.4 Loop Panels

2.4.1 Fire Brigade Loop Panel BU-110

From the Fire Brigade Loop Panel BU-110 it is possible to mute the panel’s internal buzzer, silence/resound sounders/bells etc. and reset the system.

The panel can be configured (by means of the configuration tool) to show detection zones and point information in an alarm situation, or detection zones only.

Only points in alarm are shown in the display. Faults and disablements are indicated b y LED indicat or s . The total number of detection zones in alarm will always be shown.

By operating the More Events Button, it is possible to scroll through and view detalied information of the first 64 alarms (or 32 first alarms, if the panel is configured to show both detection zones and points).

2.4.2 Information Loop Panel BV-110

The Information Loop Panel BV-110 serves as an indication device

only. It provides information related to the defined operation zone(s).

The panel can be configured (by means of the configuration tool) to show detection zones and point information in an alarm situation, or detection zones only.

The panel can store up to 6 faults and 6 disablements. The total number of faults and disablements in the system will always be shown, but it is only possible to scroll through and view detalied information of the first 6 faults and disablements (using the More Events Button).

3.11 Resounding the Internal Buzzer

After pressing the MUTE PANEL button in an alarm condition, the internal buzzer will automatically be resounded in the following cases:

 if any new event occurs (for example, a detection zone enters the

Fire Alarm state)

 after a timeout period if the cause for making it sound is still

present (configurable)

3.12 Resounding Fire Alarm Devices

When pressing the SILENCE ALARMS button in the event of an alarm, all fire alarm devices (FAD) within the operation zone of the operator panel will be deactivated. The red Fire Alarm indication lamp will switch from blinking to steady light.

At this stage, the resound timer will start. The resound timer will restart on each operation of the SILENCE ALARMS button.

To manually resound the alar m zones, Action Digit 1, which represents RESOUND, can be pressed.

The alarm zones are automatically resounded to their alarm states on timeout (configurable) of the SILENCE resound timer.

3.13 Resetting the System

In order to reset the system by pressing the RESET button, all Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) have to be silenced / deactivated using the SILENCE ALARMS button. Otherwise the reset operation will be rejected without having any effect on system behaviour (configurable).

3.14 Alarm Disablement (AlarmDisable)

If there are points within an operation zone still signalling a Fire Alarm, an alarm disablement will take effect. Alarmdisabling may or may not be required to be confirmed by the operator (configurable).

 If confirmation is not required, all points still signalling a Fire Alarm,

are automatically disabled.

 If confirmation is required, a list of points in alarm is presented on

the display. To confirm automatic disablement, the ENTER button must be pressed within 5 seconds (configurable).

All alarm-disabled detectors can be enabled at this stage by pressing Action Digit 3, which represents REACTIVATE .

3.15 Suppressed Information

When operating in Operation Mode, the message SHOW SUPPR. INFO may appear in the highlighted field at the lower part of the display. This indicates that there are conditions that are active, but suppressed, i.e. not shown on the display.

To reveal suppressed information, Action Digit 4, representing SHOW SUPPRESSED INFO, can be pressed.

3.16 Disablement Sources

3.16.1 Overview

The AutroSafe Interactive Fire Alarm System supports the following disablement sources:

 Individual

A unit is disabled by an individual command issued to the specified unit. Applicable to all units with disable capability.

 Loop

A unit is dsabled by its corresponding loop being disabled. Applicable to Points, FADs and FPEs connected to loops (DID, remote silence / reset).

 Zone

A point is disabled by a command to its corresponding detection zone, affecting all Points in the detection zone, including any manual call points. Applicable to Point s only.

 Disable Input Unit

A point is disabled by a command from a Disablement Input Unit via its corresponding detection zone. Applicable to Points only.

 Master Zone

equivalent with Zone, except from that the command is issued to AutroSafe over the AutroCom connection. Applicable to Points only.

Autronica Fire and Security AS

Page 36

3.16.2 Point Disablements

A general rule is that a Point may be disabled by one or more disablement sources simultaneously. To be enabled, the Point must be enabled from all these disablement sources.

Example: A Point is disabled from a Zone (Detection Zone disable command issued from an Operator Panel) and from a Disable Input Unit. For the Point to become enabled, a DZ enable command must be issued from the Operator Panel and the Restore button on the Disable Input Unit must be pressed.

Exceptions to this general rule is as follows:

 Individual enablements will override and remove all other

disablements but Loop disablements. The reason for this is that an individual Point disablement should be regarded as a sort of service command used in exceptional circumstances, disabling of Points is usually done via its Detection Zone.

 Master Zone enablements will override and remove all Master

Zone, Zone and Disablement Input Unit disablements.

3.16.3 Other Unit Disablements

Other units (than Points) are only affected by Individual and Loop disablements.

Note that in contrast to Point disablements, there is no memory in the system in conjunction with Loop disable / enable operations: When a loop is disabled and then enabled, any disablements which may have existed before the loop disable will be lost. In other wor ds , all loop units (except Points which have this memory function, see above) will be enabled when enabling the corresponding loop.

3.17 Alarm Handling - A Typical Situation

The handling of a fire situation will typically contain the following phases:

 One or more detection zones are issuing Prealarm signals

(Accept).

 One or more of these detection zones will go into Fire Alarm,

activating Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and Fire Protection Equipment (FPE).

 When the operator has investigated the cause of the alarm, the

activated Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) may be deactivated when the situation is under control (Silence Alarms).

 If the deactivation of the Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) shows to be

erroneous, the Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) may be resounded (Resound).

 After silencing the Fire Alarm Devices (FAD), the system may be

reset. Reset will delete all indications of the fire situation and, if physically possible, deactivate the Fire Protection Equipment (FPE) (Reset).

 The reset operation includes alarm disabling of all those points

3.18 Different Types of De tect ion Zo ne s

3.18.1 Introduction

When handling events in Operation Mode, it is important to be aware of differences regarding the detection zone configuration (configured by using the AutroSafe Configuration Tool).

The type of the specific 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.

The system has the following types of detection zones:

 Immediate Action detec t ion zone  Coincidence Action detection zone  Delayed Action detecti on z one  Delayed Coincidence detection zone  SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) detection zone

3.18.2 Immediate Action Detection Zones

A signal from an Immediate Action detection zone, will initiate all actions immediately, without any delay.

Immediate Action applies to:

 Fire Alarm Devices (FAD)  Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE)  Fire Protection Equipment (FPE)

3.18.3 Coincidence Action Detection Zones

A fire alarm signal from a single detector in a Coincidence Action detection zone, will initi a te 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)

- provided that FAD, FARE and FPE are set to Qualified Action (see

next page)

In the display, the alarm number for a detection zone will remain steady until a new point in the same zone enters alarm state.

Note that the optional alarm prese n tation with zonal indication is used throughout the handbook.

In the example below, the detection zone 2 CANTEEN is configured as a zone with coincidence action.

Blinking number (2) if two or several points or one manual call point in the same zone are in alarm state.

At least two detectors in the same detection zone must be in alarm state before actions are initiated.

Note that an activation of a manual call-point in a coincidence action detection zone will always initiate actions.

3.18.4 Delayed Action Detection Zones

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.

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)

 the point(s) in this Delayed Action detection zone has been set to

point delay ON (the default configuration)

 Immediate Output Actioning has been disabled (in the Disable

menu, refer to How to Disable Imm ed iate Outp ut Actio nin g, page

79).

 the actual FAD / FARE has been set to Qualified Action

(configurable)

The operation of delays to outputs to Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and Fire Alarm Routing Equipment apply to:

 detectors and/or  manual call-points and/or  signals from specific zones

The delay is divided into two delay periods, Initial delay, T1 (configurable) and Prolonged Delay, T2 (configurable).

The (T1) delay period is started when a Fire Alarm signal from a point is received. Actions will be initiated after the T1 delay period has expired. Pressing Action Digit 4, which represents PROLONG DELAY, will terminate T1 and the delay period T2 will start.

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 Action digit 2, which represents ACTIVATE. Activation of a manual call point with the Operation Zone will also give immediate action.

Note that activation of a manual call-point will normally (point delay OFF) give immediate output actioning even though the immediate output actioning has been disabled (configurable).

In the display, a detection zone with its outputs delayed is indicated by the character star in front of the zone text. The time for the first delayed action is also displayed.

Note that the optional alarm prese n tation with zonal indication is used throughout the handbook.

After pressing the ENTER button and selecting the delayed action zone, you can;

 press Action Digit 1 to show the points in alarm  press Action Digit 2 to activate the alarm

or press Action Digit 4 to prolong the delay.

3.18.5 Delayed Coincidence Detection Zones

Detection zones configured as Delayed Coincidence Detection Zones have the following properties:

In Day Mode (Immediate Output Actioning is disabled), 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 will mean that all (not yet activated) FPE's configured to be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm will be activated.

Pressing the reset button during a delay period will terminate the delay period (T1 or T2).

In Night Mode (Imm ediate O utput Ac tioni ng is enab led ) , 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 will mean that all (not yet activated) FPE's configured to be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm will operate.

In an alarm situation, the actioning of outputs will behave as described above, provided that;

 the detection zone has been defined as a Delayed Coincidence

detection zone (configurable) and

 the point(s) in this Delayed Action detection zone has been set to

point delay ON (the default configuration)

Note that when a manual call-point (point delay OFF) is activated, or when a Heat Detector (p o int delay OFF) sends an alarm signal, a Delayed Coincidence detection zone will always enter the Large Alarm state directly, re g ardless of Day or Night Mode.

3.18.6 Solas Detection Zones

When the operator panel receives a fire alarm signal from a point in a SOLAS - Safety of Life at Sea - detection zone (configurable), all

actions will be initiated after a programmed delay has expired.

The (T1) delay period is started when a signal from a point is received. Pressing Action digit 4, which represents BLO C K ALAR M, wil l terminate the delay period and block the alarm for an indefinite period of time.

SOLAS applies to fire Alarm Devices (FAD), Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) - detectors only, and Fire Protection Equipment (FPE) - option.

The list above covers the most common events. In addition to these, a great number of combinations of events may, of course, occur.

The operational informatio n included in chapter 3, plus the overview of buttons and indicators in chapter 2, are intended to provide the information necessary to successfully operate the AutroSafe Interactive Fire Alarm System. As additional help, messages in the Information Field will tell you at any time what options you have.

Note that the optional alarm prese n tation with zonal indication is used throughout the handbook.

For each event there is an overview of all indications on the panel, plus the necessary actions to take. All alarm handling and dis p lay pictures shown in the subsequent chapters are based on the following:

 The system is in Op erat ion Mode.

 To operate the panel, Access Level 2 is required. This means that

the person who operates the panel, must use a key before the panel can be operated. This is indicate d with a ke y.

 The examples show a system that is configured to immediately

trigger Fire Alarm Routing Equipment and send a message to a Fire Receiving Station (Fire Brigade) in the event of a fire alarm. The Fire Brig. Signalled indicator will thus come on.

 As you proceed through the steps in the different events, the

comments field will, when necessary, provide additional information and show the different options you have.

 In many cases, several display pictures will be shown when a

command has been executed. These quick changes from one display picture to another are indicat ed with an arr o w.

 The table for the different procedures is divided into four columns
