2.1 Introduction

The Operator Panel BS-210, including an upper and a lower section, is an integrated part of the Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-200, BS-200L and BS-200M. The Repeater Panel BS-211 is identical with the Operator Panel, with the exception of the alphanumeric keypad at the lower section.
The other Autroprime panels; the Information Panel BV-210 (no operating buttons available) and the Fire Brigade Panel BU-210 consist only of the upper section of the panel.
During normal operation, the backlight in the panel display is ON. No operating buttons and indicators are visible, except for the Power indicator that always displays a steady green light when the power is ON and the

3.4 Alarm Levels

A detector may signal different levels of alarm, indicating the amount of smoke or gas currently present. These are;
Fire Alarm Level (the highest level) Pre Alarm Level
Whenever a detector detects a transition from one alarm level to another (from lower level to the highest level), this event is reported to the system as a Pre Alarm or Fire Alarm signal, which in turn will initiate the appropriate actions.

3.5 Access Levels

All user interface controls are classified as belonging to one of the three different access levels described below:
1 No key or password
required
2 Access by key
3 Password restricted Accessible by persons trained and authorized to do

3.8 Resounding the Internal Buzzer

When 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

3.9 Resounding Fire Alarm Devices

When pressing the Silence button in the event of an alarm, all Fire Alarm Devices (FADs) will be deactivated. The red Fire Alarm indication lamp will switch from a pulsing to a steady light and the local buzzer will go off.
At this stage, the resound timer will start (if it has been configured). The resound timer will restart on each operation of the Silence button.
Holding the Silence button down for more than 5 seconds will activate the Resound function.
The alarm zones are automatically resounded to their alarm states on timeout (configurable) of the Silence resound timer.

3.10 Disablement Sources

3.10.1 Overview

Autroprime supports the following disablement sources:
• Individual A unit is disabled by an individual command issued to the specified unit. Applicable to all units with disabling capabilities.
• Loop A unit is disabled by its corresponding loop being disabled. Applicable to points, FADs, FPEs and panels connected to loops (DID).
• Detection 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 points only.
• Alarm Zone FADs in an alarm zone will be disabled.
• Disable Input Unit A detection zone is disabled by a command from a Disable Input Unit. Applicable to detection zones only.
• Modbus

3.10.2 Point Disablements

A general rule is that a Point may be disabled by one or more disablement sources simultaneously. In order 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 the Fire Alarm Control 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.

3.11 Alarm Organization

3.11.1 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.

3.11.2 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 (EVACUATE) and a neighbouring alarm zone signal (ALERT) 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.

3.11.3 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.

3.11.4 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).

3.11.5 Delayed Action Detection Zones

Note that activation of a
will normally give
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.
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).
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. Actions will be initiated after the T1 delay period has expired. Pressing PROLONG DELAY, will terminate T1 and the delay period T2 will start.

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).

3.11.6 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.
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.

3.11.7 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.

3.11.8 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.

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).

• To stop the test, use the arrow button to select Stop Test, then press Enter
twice.

16.5 Testing Fire Alarm Devices

This chapter describes how to test each Fire Alarm Device (FAD) individually.
When the test is initiated for a selected Fire Alarm Device (FAD), a test signal will be sent to the FAD.
The duration of the signal and the interval between each signal are configurable (normally 1 second ON and 30 seconds OFF). The test signal is given the lowest priority. In the event of an alarm, the alarm signal will thus override the test signal.
From the Service Menu, perform the following:
• Use the arrow down button to scroll downwards to Unit Test, then press Enter.
• Press Enter once more.
• Use the arrow button to select the Fire Alarm Device (FAD) that
is to be tested. Use, if necessary, the multiselect feature to select several Fire Alarm Devices.
