2.6 Applications
FT128 is intended for small and medium size installations. The intelligent control unit offers
the system designer and end user a technically sophisticated range of facilities and
functions. Programming (via PC S/W EBLWin) and commissioning is very easy.
2.7 PC software (S/W)
The PC program EBLWin is used for programming and commissioning of FT128, i.e. to:
Autogenerate, i.e. to identify the units connected on a COM loop and make default
settings, which can be edited, saved and used as site specific data (SSD).
Create / download / upload (backup) the site specific data (SSD)
Download new system S/W version, settings, conventions, configurations, control
unit & system properties, etc.
Create / download the user definable alarm text messages shown in the display in
FT128, External Presentation Units (1728) and/or Alert Annunciation Units (1736).
Display the fire alarms, faults and disablements as well as reset, acknowledge and
re-enable, etc.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Configure the Web-server II (1598); create and download / make a backup (upload)
of the configuration data as well as download of Web-server software.
The EBLWin S/W must have the same version number as the system software EBL128
version number, e.g. 2.2.x. Only x may be different, it indicates a small correction and is
not required to be the same.
Old SSD files can be opened in a newer (higher) version of EBLWin, saved, edited and
thereafter downloaded to an FT128 with the corresponding version. If a backup is required,
use the same EBLWin version as the system software EBL128 version.
Notes: EBLWin is not backward compatible with any version of Win128 i.e. SSD files
saved in EBLWin cannot be opened with Win128.
It is highly recommended to backup (upload) the SSD file before the system
software (EBL128) can be downloaded,
EBLWin key 5094 is a USB dongle that is required on your PC in order to gain access to
log on and download SSD files.

Figure 1 FT128 Control & Indicating Equipment
The FT128 Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) shown in Figure 1 is housed in a metal
cabinet powder coated oyster colour. The cabinet has an inner and outer door. The outer
door is fitted with a 003 key to provide access level 1 and is made of tinted high impact
plastic and allows easy viewing of all indicators and controls.
Access to the inner door is gained by first opening the outer door which then provides
access to the inner door fixing screws.
Opening the inner door allows access to the control unit hardware for the purpose of
maintenance or servicing.
Figure 2 The FT128 Front Membrane.
The Fire Brigade panel (FBP) as shown in Figure 2 forms integral part of the Control Panel
(CP) and is used by the Fire Brigade or fire services personnel to inspect which alarm point
/ zone having activated fire alarm and to take the required operational control of the system.
17
Page 18
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
In the display (LCD, 2x40 alphanumeric characters), the information displayed on the first
row is dependent on how many alarm points / zones having activated fire alarm (and also
convention).
On the second row, the activated alarm point / zone will be shown with an alarm text, if
programmed. For more detailed information regarding the fire alarm presentation, see the
FT128 Operation Manual.
Required Fire Brigade personnel manoeuvres are performed via the FBP in FT128.
The Control Panel (CP) is used by the FT128 owner, service personnel, etc. to
"communicate" with FT128, e.g. for commissioning, monthly tests, disablements and
maintenance. Access codes for different access levels are required. A keypad is used to
get access to the menu tree, i.e. the main and sub menus for data in / out, manoeuvres,
etc. The CP also holds several system status LEDs.
FT128 in its basic configuration is equipped with:
Oyster metal cabinet with acrylic door
Main board 4556 with:
One COM loop (0) to which the loop units are connected. For connections
and more information, see drawing F665 & F666.

3.3 COM Loop
FT128 has one COM loop (0), to which the loop units are connected. Connections to the
COM loop are made via the external termination board on the equipment plate as shown
in drawing no. F665. Up to 255 loop units can be connected to the COM loop (i.e. address
1-255) when the panel is upgraded with software version ≥ V2.0.x. The exact number of
loop units and the cable length are dependent on the cable type (cable resistance) and the
total COM loop unit current consumption (i.e. the type and number of loop units). See
chapter “Current Consumption” page 168 and battery calculation spreadsheet. Each COM
loop unit has a Technical address (1-255) and each alarm point and Zone Line Input has a
presentation number (zone-address). Refer to the FT128 Operation Manual for more
information.
Normally the communication (and power supply) direction alternates every 22 seconds.
When the communication is in the COM loop A-direction, the COM loop voltage is checked
when the COM loop cable returns to the control unit. The voltage has to be > 12 V DC. If
not, a fault will be generated.

FT128 Rev 2.2
3.4 Programmable Voltage Outputs (S0-S1)
The 24VDC outputs S0-S1 are supervised (monitored) 7. One to five 33K resistors can be
connected 8, for connection diagram, refer to drawing F665. When the connections are
completed, a calibration has to be performed. See the FT128 Operation Manual chapter
"Calibration of Supervised Outputs (menu H5/A3)".
Each output has to be programmed (via EBLWin) for the following:
Type (Control, Fire ventilation, Alarm device, etc.)
Output signal period (steady, intermittent, pulse, delay, etc.)
Supervised / Non-supervised
Logic, i.e. normally low (default) or normally high (24 VDC)9.
Control expression (contains one or more trigger conditions)
Note: The outputs S0-S1 are programmed as outputs for alarm devices by default.
S0: maximum 500 mA (Fuse F8).
S1: maximum 200 mA (Fuse F6).
See also chapter “Programmable Outputs”, page 77.
3.5 Programmable Relay Output (R0)
Refer to drawing F665 for connection diagram.
The output has to be programmed (via EBLWin) for the following:
A normally high output cannot be supervised. The supervision voltage is 1.5 – 3.6 VDC (depending on the number of supervision
resistors) and the polarity is reversed compared to activated output.
PCB. no. 9285-5A: One to five 470 nF capacitors. The calibrated value has to be in the range 1K – 50K and 1 to 5 x 470 nF

Up to four 4580 boards can be used, see Table 3 “Expansion Boards Allowed”, page 22.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Each board has to be programmed via EBLWin with an address (board no.) which is set
via the jumpers "JP2 and JP4" as shown in Table 4 above.
The 4580 board has eight conventional Zone Line Inputs (0-7) intended for conventional
detectors, MCP, flow switch input or any N/O clean contact. In the last alarm point on each
zone line, an End-Of-Line device must be connected, depending on the selected "Type of
Zone Line Input", see below.
Connections to "J1:1-16" and "J2" according to drawing F665.
Each Zone Line Input has to be programmed via EBLWin for the following:
Type of Zone Line Input (see below), depending on detectors / End-Of-Line device
(capacitor or resistor), i.e. different threshold levels etc.
Alarm at short circuit i.e. whether a short- circuit on the zone line generates a fault
or fire alarm.
Zone number (Address optional)
AVF (Alarm Verification Facility), if required
Text (Alarm text when required)
Alert annunciation & time channel
Disablement & time channel
The terminals support a wire size up to 1.2 mm2.
4.1.1 Type of Zone Line Input
4.1.1.1 Zone Line Input (EOL Capacitor)
Each input must be selected either as Not used or as one of the following types / modes.
This mode should normally be used. It has the lowest zone line current consumption since
the End-Of-Line device is a capacitor, 470 nF (±10 %).
Maximum allowed cable resistance is 50 Ω.
Maximum allowed cable capacitance is 50 nF.
Maximum allowed zone line current consumption is 1.5 mA.

This mode must be used when the zone input is intended to be connected to intrinsically
safe devices e.g. intrinsically safe detectors or manual call points via the Galvanic isolator
MTL5061 (2820). The End-Of-Line device is a resistor, 10K (±5 %) with a body surface
area > 230 mm2 (supplied with Galvanic isolator).
Max. allowed cable resistance is 40 ohm.
Max. allowed cable capacitance is 70 nF.
Total zone line current consumption is < 1.0 mA.
4.1.1.3 Zone Line Input (EOL Resistor)
This mode is typically used in New Zealand where only EOL resistors are allowed. It has
to be used when any of the other types cannot be used (e.g. for some older type of
detectors and not Panasonic detectors). The EOL resistor has the highest zone line current
consumption since the End-Of-Line device is a resistor, 4K7 (±5 %).
Maximum allowed cable resistance is 50 ohm.
Maximum allowed zone line current consumption is 2.0 mA.

This is the normal Zone Line Input state, i.e. no alarm, no fault, etc. and the nominal voltage
is 24 V
. From this state any other state can be reached / activated.
DC
4.1.2.2 High Current State
The maximum current consumption limit21 for the Zone Line Input is exceeded, which is
indicating that e.g. too many alarm points are connected. This generates a fault condition
in FT128. From this state any other state can be reached / activated except the open circuit
state.
4.1.2.3 Alarm State
An alarm point (or more) on the zone line is in alarm state and the alarm limit21 for the zone
line is exceeded, which activates fire alarm in FT128. In this state, the short circuit, open
circuit, high current and low voltage states cannot be reached / activated. After the alarm
reset, the Zone Line Input will return to the normal state.
4.1.2.4 Short-Circuit State
The short circuit current limit21 is exceeded, indicating short-circuit on the zone line, which
normally generates a fault condition in FT128 but instead, a fire alarm can be activated, if
this option is selected via EBLWin.
4.1.2.5 Open Circuit State
The open circuit current limit21 is passed, indicating very low zone line current consumption
or no current, i.e. the End-Of-Line device is not detected which generates a fault condition
in FT128. From this state any other state can be reached / activated.
4.1.2.6 Disconnected State
Via menu H8/S2 (Disconnect / Re-connect zone line), the Zone Line Input can be
disconnected22, i.e. there is no voltage on the zone line. From this state no other state can
be reached / activated.
4.2 8 Relays Expansion Board 4581
Up to four 4581 boards can be used, see Table 3, page 22.
Each board has to be programmed via EBLWin for an address, set via jumpers "JP2-
JP4" as shown in Table 4 page 23.
The 4581 board has eight programmable relay outputs (0-7).
Connections to "J1:1-16" and "J2" according to drawing F729.
Each output has to be programmed via EBLWin for the following:
Type, i.e. output for Control, Alarm devices, etc.
Output signal period (steady, pulse, delay, etc.)
Logic, i.e. normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts23
Control expression (one or more trigger conditions)
For more information, see chapter “Output Programming”, page 81.
Allowed voltage 15-28 VDC.
This limit is dependent on the selected input mode.
This is indicated in FT128 by the LED "Disablements".

The terminals support a wire size up to 1.13 mm2 (1.2 mm).
4.3 Inputs and Outputs Expansion Board 4583
Since the maximum current consumption for this type of boards can be up to 400 mA, only
two boards should be used however, up to four boards (V2.1.x and higher) can be
configured with a warning if more than two are used when the SSD is validated in EBLWin,
used.
Note: If more than two 4583 boards are used, care must be taken not to overload the
fuse on the main board (fuse F5)
Each board has to be programmed via EBLWin for an address set via the jumpers "JP2JP4", see Table 4 page 23.
The I/O expansion board 4583 has two programmable supervised / non-supervised voltage
outputs (Output 0-1), one special programmable output (Output 2) intended for German
extinguishing system and five programmable supervised or non-supervised inputs (Input
0-4).

There are no COM loop addresses to be set. Instead, the Expansion Board No. / Address
(0-7) is set with jumpers (JP1-JP3) on the I/O Matrix board. See Table 4, page 23.
The three configuration options for the I/O matrix board are:
Generic, normally used for any special applications e.g. NZ index panel, mimic or
relay boards, pump status indications, etc. Maximum of two generic options can be
used, if no zone control is used.
Fan Control, up to 8 fan modules can be used if no other applications or expansion
boards used or 4 modules if the permitted quantity of generic and zone control are
used. 4 fans are the maximum number allowed module.
Zone Control, only 2 zone options can be selected to provide a maximum of 16
zones26 for each FT128 system, if no generic option is used.
Up to four I/O Matrix boards can be used and up to eight if no expansion boards type 4580,
4581 and 4583 are used but maximum two I/O Matrix boards of type Generic and type
Zone control i.e. 2 zone control or 2 generic or a combination of both.
In FT128, total of up to 200 outputs can be used, including all types of outputs.
Table 6 I/O Matrix board 4582 type setting
Due to the space limitation, only 12 zones are available in every zone control module
When SUB900 or SUB902 is used as a Generic application board, the Type of Inputs and Outputs can be customised by
programming in the EBLWin configuration software.
The new versions of NZ mimic boards SUB985, SUB986, SUB987 & SUB988 replace the discontinued SUB927 and SUB927R,

4.5 FT128 External Termination
In the Australian convention, the FT128 main board 4556 is mounted on the rear of the
front door. In order to avoid the field wiring termination on the swing door, an adapter board
SUB836 29 is added to the main board. The new version of the adapter board is plugged in
the screw terminals of the main board 4556 and interfaced to another external termination
board SUB835 mounted on the equipment plate. The adapter board SUB836 is connected
to the termination board SUB835 via ribbon cable.
The FT128 has only one programmable relay output. To increase the number of
programmable relays in the standard FT128 system, another relay with two changeover
contacts has been added to the termination board to provide 2 sets of additional relay
contacts30. This relay is controlled by the “Voltage output S1” 31 e.g. if S1 is programmed
for general alarm, the following will be available:
Voltage output S1 on CON 8
Change over alarm contacts R2-1 on CON 5
Change over alarm contacts R2-2 on CON 4
The PCB physical layout of the adapter board SUB836 is shown in Figure 8.
The PCB physical layout of the external termination board SUB935 is shown in Figure 9.
Note: As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, one physical PCB is used for both boards but
different components are fitted in each one.
The adapter board shown in Figure 8 and external termination board shown in Figure 9 use a new PCB revision (PCB250 Rev
5). In all previous revisions, the adapter board is soldered in the terminals of FT128 main board (4556) but the new PCB
revision has pins to screw in the terminal block on FT128 main board.
The additional alarm contacts can be used to trigger the OWS or for any other application.
The voltage output S1 terminals are still available on the termination board SUB835, please note, the current limitation of S1
is less than 200mA.

the front door.
The external termination board SUB835, as shown in Figure 9, provides two additional
alarm relay contacts R2-1 and R2-2 (CON 5 & CON 4), current rating for the contacts is 2A
@ 30V dc. The SUB835 provides additional terminals as well, for the COM loop and 24V

5.1 AS1668 Fan Control
Used for Application board type Fan control (SUB902) which has a front decal label to
indicate and control of up to four fans. Typical fan control front is shown in Figure 12 page
36.
Each fan control module consists of a universal I/O matrix 4582 specifically configured for
fan control applications and application board SUB902. Different Programming options are
simplified through the EBLWin configuration software.
Each fan control module has controls and fan status indicators for 4 fans. Each fan status
is indicated by six LEDs (On / Auto / Off / Running / Stopped / Fault) and controlled via
three push buttons (On / Auto / Off). One "Fan Reset" button is provided in every AS1668
fan module. A LED test button is also provided to test LED’s for each fan module (if
programmed).
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
In EBLWin, the functionality of the fan control relays Re0 & Re1 in “3361 for fan” module
has been improved
programmer to configure Re0 and Re1 independently i.e. start relay and stop relay are now
configured separately. The monitored input In0 is in use when the fan is only controlled
from the CIE. External control from Mechanical Services Switch Board (MSSB) or via time
clock will indicate the fan status without generating a fan fault.
5.1.1 Mode Control
The buttons / LEDs On, Auto and Off are used to manually override the fan mode of
operation. The switches are non-latching and the mode of operation will be indicated by
the corresponding LEDs.
On: Fan is running in manual override mode independent of the fire mode in the CIE
or any external control e.g. MSSB. “On” and “Fan Running” LED’s are lit. “On”
control has higher priority over alarm and external control.
Auto: Fan either be running or stopped depending on the CIE alarm condition. The
fan may also be controlled externally (less priority than alarm) from mechanical
services e.g. time clock. LED “Auto” is lit and either “Fan Running” LED or “Fan
Stopped” LED is also lit. The “Auto” LED flashes during the time that the fan is
changing status (running to stopped or stopped to running) then becomes
steady.
Off: Fan is stopped in manual override mode independent of any alarm condition in
the CIE. “Off” and “Fan Stopped” LED’s are lit. “Off” control has the highest
priority over alarm or external control.
. New “Enhanced mode” is added to 3361 configuration to enable the
5.1.2 Fan Status
Running Indicates fan running, red
Stopped Indicates fan stopped, green
Fault Indicates fan fault, yellow
The fan fault LED is lit if the control from the CIE to change the fan status (via
3361 relay contacts) is not verified via input In0. The request to change the fan
status from the CIE can be due to one of the following:
1. Manual operation of the manual override switch (On or Off) for a fan or
In Win128, the two relays Re0 and Re1 have toggle action i.e. cannot be controlled independently, both activated at the same
time but with different contacts (Re0 is normally open & Re1 is normally closed).
31
Page 32
2. In Auto mode, a fire alarm that controls the fan is activated.
In both cases, if the feedback signal confirming the change of state has not
been received by input In0 in 3361 within 30 seconds (default), the fan fault LED
will be lit.
If In0 is configured to be supervised and there is an open circuit fault in the input
wiring, the fan fault LED will also be lit.
Each Fan (0-3) (i.e. each Fan control) has to be added and programmed via EBLWin.
5.1.3 Configuration and Programming
For each fan, a field module (3361) is required and has to be configured in EBLWin as
“3361 I/O unit for fan control”. The AS1668 fans can be configured as follow:
1. Right click on the COM loop and “Add I/O matrix board 4582”, the following dialog box
appears:
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Select the I/O matrix board address (0-5) and change the name to “AS1668 Fan
Control”. If the LED test function is required, mark the check box “LED test on
input 15”.
Note: The address selected in EBLWin (0-3) must match the address of the I/O matrix
board which is set by the jumpers JP1-JP3 as per Table 4 page 23. The type of board is
automatically selected.
2. Right click on the configured “I/O Matrix Board” and select “Add Fan” as shown below
3. The Fan control dialog box appears for the 1st fan to be added. Repeat adding fans as
required, maximum 4 fans (0-3).
32

FT128 Rev 2.2
4. For each added fan, a “3361 I/O Unit for fan control…” must also be added. To do this,
right click on the COM Loop to Add loop unit and choose “3361 I/O Unit for fan control..”
5. When the 3361 dialog box appears, select from the pull down menu under the Fan
control information area, one of the fans that was added in the previous steps as shown
below. The final tree view should look like the right side as shown below.
6. On the 3361 properties shown above, select the required configuration as follow:
Select whether In0 required to be supervised or non-supervised.
Relay output Re0 and Re1 output to be latched or non-latched.
Enhanced mode
Write the logical expression for Re0 and Re1 (enhanced mode only
for independent configuration of Re0 and Re1.
).
Fault detection time is set to 30 seconds by default, change time if required.
Select Re0 and/or Re1 type “Fire ventilation” (default).
If a supply air fan is to be configured, on the “Output signal period” on Re0 and/or
Re1 dropdown menu select “Supply Air Fan” as shown in step 7.
In non-enhanced mode, if Re0 is normally open, Re1 will automatically be normally closed and vice versa. If "Enhanced fan
control” function is selected, Re0 and Re1 tabs will be available for individual programming.
In non-enhanced mode, only Re0 requires logical expression hence Re1 will follow same logical expression.
33
Page 34
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
7. For supply air fan applications, set the post timing required to reset the duct detector
as follow:
On the “System” tab, select “Output signal period”.
In the displayed dialog box shown below, select one of the “Undefined” options
Re-name the “Undefined” to Supply Air Fan then click edit.
On the drop down menu, select “Steady, delayed de-activation”
In the de-activation box, enter 75, this will set the post timing of the duct smoke
detector to 60 seconds i.e. the duct detector will reset after 60 seconds of clearing
up the smoke.
Click ok.
5.1.4 Fan Reset
A fan reset button is added to the front display of the fan control module to comply with the
requirements of AS1668.2 and used to independently reset 3361 relays Re0 and Re1 in
fire mode conditions. The two relays should be programmed in EBLWin to be “Latched” i.e.
resetting the alarm in the CIE will not bring the fans to the non-alarm condition until the
reset button is pressed. If the alarm remains active in the CIE, the fan reset button will not
function.
5.1.5 Fan Front Display
The fan control and display module is normally mounted in the CIE but it is also possible
to remotely install the module and connect it to the COM loop and 24V supply. The fan
operation is controlled by Re0 and Re1 relay outputs on the 3361 unit. The feedback signal
from the fan pressure switch is connected to the supervised input of 3361 to provide the
required indications of the fan status.
The typical front display of AS1668 module and connection diagram are shown in Figure
12, page 36.
Two typical fan application examples are shown in the following sections.
5.1.6 Supply Air Fan
A supply air fan is normally running in the non-fire mode condition and stops when smoke
is detected in the air supply duct, timing sequence is shown in Figure 10 below.
34
Page 35
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Figure 10 Supply Air Fan Timing Sequence
When the smoke is no longer present in the supply air duct, a time delay (45-75 seconds)
starts, the fan remains in the shutdown mode until the time delay is elapsed, then the duct
detector resets and causes the fan to restart. The presence of smoke in the supply air does
not initiate a Fire Brigade TX signal or any other alarm output (type, quiet alarm). The
Occupant Warning System does not sound. Only the “FIRE’ and general alarm indicators
will be flashing and a quiet alarm message displayed.
Notes related to supply air fan applications:
1. Only analogue smoke detectors can be used in supply air fan applications.
2. The detector used in supply air fan applications must be selected as a “Quiet
Alarm” i.e. check box in EBLWin program is ticked.
3. One detector, several detectors or a zone can be programmed to control the
supply air fan.
4. A time signal period output must be configured in EBLWin as shown in section
5.1.3 step 6 to set up the post timing which normally is 60 seconds.
5.1.7 Smoke Exhaust / Spill Fan
Figure 11 Smoke Exhaust Or Spill Fan Timing
The smoke exhaust fan is normally controlled by general alarm, single device or a zone.
Both analogue detectors and conventional zones can be configured to control the fan.
Standard time signal period output can be used.

ZONE CONTROL
The Zone Control Module provides a simplified indication of zone status without the need
for a liquid crystal display. The disable controls allow a specific zone to be temporarily
disabled without the need to access the CIE menu. This is typically used where building
works or maintenance procedures are being carried out in a localised area of a building.
The front display layout is shown as part of Figure 13 below.
Only two zone control modules can be used in FT128, if no generic applications are used.
Each zone control module consists of a universal I/O matrix 4582 plugged in a display
board SUB900 specifically configured to provide up to 12 individual zone indicators and
controls. The module is normally mounted in the CIE. but it is also possible to connect the
module remotely via the COM loop and 24VDC supply.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Figure 13 Zone control application
5.2.1 Controls & Indications
Alarm LED (Red) – Illuminates when an alarm from a conventional zone, an addressable
device or group of addressable devices designated as a zone enters into an alarm state.
Fault LED (Amber) – Illuminates when either a short circuit or open circuit fault on a
conventional zone input or any fault that prevents an addressable alarm point in a
designated zone to operate properly.
Disabled LED (Amber) – Illuminates when a zone is disabled either by the disable switch
on the zone control card or where the zone is disabled via menu H2/B1.
5.2.2 Zone Control Configuration
Disable Switch – Pressing the disable switch will disable the specific zone selected.
Pressing the switch a second time will re-enable the zone. Functions are the same as menu
H2/B1.
LED Test Switch – Pressing the LED test switch illuminates all indicators if input 15 is
selected when programming the zone control function.
When the I/O Matrix board is selected in EBLWin to “Zone Control” type, up to 16 zones
[0-15] can be configured. The display Board is limited to only 12 zones and one additional
switch for LED test. The following procedures are used to configure the zone control
module:

5.3 Generic Applications
5.3.1 Overview
The generic feature in the FT128 software supports the remote mimic applications of the
I/O matrix board 4582. Currently, this feature is used in the New Zealand Fire Brigade
mimic and index panels as well as other products. This section describes one of the main
applications of the generic option, the popular NZ index panel. Refer to Brooks technical
datasheet TDS019 for other applications.
Each NZ master mimic board provides 12 LED indications and screw terminals for 4 inputs
(switches). The first 3 LEDs used for Common alarm (red), Normal (green) and Defect
(yellow). The remainder 9 LEDs (red) used to indicate separate zone indications or sprinkler
flow switch indication. Two of the four inputs are used to interface the NZ Fire Brigade
bulgin keys to the CIE. Additional slave mimic boards can be added to provide up to 36
additional red LED indicators.
Up to 4 mimic boards can be used to indicate maximum of 48 individual zone indications,
only one I/O matrix is required for every 4 mimic boards, up to two I/O matrix boards can
be used in the NZ mimic applications to provide 96 LED indicators, if no zone control
modules are used. Refer to drawing F702A for connection diagram. A typical NZ mimic
application is shown in Figure 15 below.
38
Page 39
5.3.2 New mimic options
The new design of the mimic boards allows for either LED indicators or screw terminals for
graphic or remote LED’s. Four new boards are now available as shown in Figure 14 below:
1. Master LED mimic Board SUB985: This must be the first board and to be fitted
with the I/O matrix board 4582. The boards contains the first 3 common indicators
and additional 9 red indicators. It also contain terminals to connect the Bulgin keys.
All outputs / inputs are fully programmable.
2. Slave LED mimic board SUB986: contains 12 fully programmable red indicators,
no provision for terminals or connectors for the I/O matrix. Up to 3 slave boards
can be connected to the master board via plug-in connectors.
3. Master terminals mimic board: In addition to the connector for the I/O matrix
board and Bulgin keys terminals, it also contain terminals to connect 12 remotely
located LED’s (no on-board LED’s). The I/O matrix board is to be fitted to this
master board. The board can be utilised to connect existing LED mimics to new
FT128 in retrofit applications.
4. Slave terminals mimic board: Up to 3 slave boards can be connected to the
master board via the plug-in connectors to provide terminals for additional 36
LED’s.

5.4 Occupant Warning System (OWS)
5.4.1 Overview
Brooks OWS is an intelligent occupant warning system that can be incorporated in FT128
with number of options depending on the available space in the standard cabinet, larger
enclosures can be used to allow for more options.
FT128 Rev 2.2
Figure 16 Occupant Warning Display Module
The OWS is supplied with a wide range of high efficiency class-D audio amplifiers: 60, 120
or 250 Watts. A basic OWS system fitted in FT128 supports the following standard
Features:
Digital voice messages for alert and T3 (or AS2220 evacuation tone)35.
Supervised trigger Input (short/open circuit fault)
Supervised dual Strobe 24 VDC output for alert and evacuation strobes.
Supervised 100V speaker line output (open/short circuit fault).
Fault Relay output (changeover contacts)
Fault indicators for strobe output, trigger input and speaker circuit on OWS main
board. Only one common fault indicator on the front display.
Built in electret microphone.
Auxiliary input to connect to Brooks single or multiple zone remote microphones
Auxiliary audio enable/disable switch input.
An optional expansion 4 zone splitter board can be fitted with the standard OWS, maximum
of 4 boards can be used to provide up to 16 fully supervised speaker zone circuits.
The four zone splitter boards can be used to individually select one of the four zones (or all
zones) for PA announcement purposes only37. The PA front display can select up to 8 PA
zones and requires 2 x 4 zone splitter board.
5.4.2 Audio Amplifiers
60 Watt audio amplifier SUB865
120 Watt audio amplifier SUB866
250 Watt audio amplifier SUB867
In NZ applications, the OWS has to be configured to provide AS2220 tones and voice messages.
OWS faults are hardwired via this common fault relay to input I0 in FT128 to display OWS fault on the LCD.
The tone / message is common for all zones, only PA can select one or multiple zones for announcement.

5.4.3 OWS Volume Adjustment
All volume adjustments are made on the Audio Amplifier Module via the trimpot VR1 only.
This volume adjustment is given a reference designator, VR1 and named “VOLUME” on all
amplifier boards. This trimpot, VR1, is shown in both Figure 17 page 42 and Figure 19 page
43. Do not use VR2 for adjusting the volume at any time, VR2 is only used for factory
calibration purposes.
The following procedures describe how to adjust the volume.
1. Manually turn on the evacuation tone.
2. Adjust the trimpot clockwise a little at a time to increase the volume on the audio
amplifier.
3. Then test or measure if the required audio level is met.
4. Repeat 1 to 3 as necessary.
5.4.4 Auxiliary Audio inputs
The OWS provides an auxiliary audio input controlled by a supervised auxiliary enable
input. The auxiliary audio input can be connected to a background music source and
enabled via the auxiliary input. The auxiliary inputs are also used to connect the Brooks
remote desktop microphones. When the CIE is in quiescent conditions and the auxiliary
enable input is activated, the auxiliary audio is activated and remote PA announcement or
background music will be broadcasted across the speakers.
44
Page 45
Note: Shielded cables must be used for Audio signals and its shielding should be
connected to the CIE EARTH terminal, this is to reduce disturbances.
5.4.5 OWS Dual Strobe Output
The OWS Dual Strobe output circuit is shown in Figure 20. A small current flows through
one of the two strobes constantly, which is normally too small to activate the strobes in
normal conditions. The EOL resistor of the output is 47KΩ, however, the EOL resistance
may vary based on the strobe model connected.
Figure 20 Typical OWS Dual Strobe Control Circuit
Note: Multiple dual strobes can be connected to the dual strobe output on the OWS main
board.

5.5 Gaseous extinguishing system control module
5.5.1 Overview
The gaseous extinguishing system control module is provided for use as an option in
FT128. The module comprises the following:
Control Board (SUB928) with software for CIE interface.
Display Board (SUB929)
CIE interface board (SUB943).
Front panel decal with interconnection cable
The gaseous extinguishing system provides outputs to the following Brooks gas ancillary
equipment:
A series of Brooks Warning Signs
Brooks Local Control Station (LCS)
Voice / Tone Electronic Sounder
Dual Strobe Module
FT128 Rev 2.2
The control module combined with other Brooks system components is designed to provide
the monitoring and control functions of a complete gaseous extinguishing system that
meets the requirements of the relevant clauses 7.1 to 7.6 of the Australian Standard
AS4214-2002 (including amendment 1). For more details, refer to FT2GAS Operation /
Technical manual MA400.
The control module provides the following inputs / outputs:
Fully supervised gas release 24VDC output rated @ 5A maximum.
Fully supervised input circuits e.g. gas lock-off valve input, manual release input
and gas discharged sensor input.
Fully supervised system warning sign 24VDC output rated @ 0.5A maximum.
Fully supervised 2 wire system 24VDC output for level 1 and level 2 alarm to Brooks
warning signs (alarm 1 [+/-] & alarm 2 [-/+]) rated @ 3A maximum.
Gas release clean-contact relay output rated @ 2A maximum.
Gas Fault clean-contact relay output rated @ 2A maximum.

The detector has unleaded soldering.
To be plugged in an Analogue base (3312 / 4313 / 3379).
Built-in LEDs are lit to indicate that the detector48 has activated a fire alarm.
Prepared for mechanical lock (screw attached) – if required.
Via EBLWin, the mode of operation can be selected as follow:
a) Two presentation numbers (address): The detector unit works as two
separate detectors. The smoke detector is programmed for one zone-address
and the heat detector for another zone-address49. (Can be used to disable
e.g. the smoke detector during working hours and/or in control expressions for
programmable outputs).
b) One presentation number (address): The detector unit works as one
detector and is programmed for one zone-address.
If alternative b) is to work with "OR-functionality" or with a "Decision algorithm",
program this via EBLWin using either of these functionality options:
b1) OR-functionality: Either the heat detector or the smoke detector
will activate fire alarm. This alternative is recommended in most cases.
b2) Decision algorithm:
Fire alarm will be activated if:
Temperature (°C) + adjusted smoke value
> 58.
Pre-warning will be activated if:
58 > temperature (°C) + adjusted smoke value50 > 50.
The "Decision algorithm", see Figure 24, can be used to reduce false
alarms (nuisance alarms), because at a normal room temperature, more
smoke is required to activate fire alarm than when the room temperature
is high (or is rising). In a real fire condition, the room temperature will rise
rather fast and less smoke is required to activate fire alarm. Very little
smoke requires a "high" temperature to activate fire alarm and a lot of
smoke will activate fire alarm also at a "low" temperature.
i.e. the heat detector and/or the smoke detector.
The zone number has to be the same for both detectors. NOTE! When counting alarm points these "two detectors" are
Adjusted smoke value = obscuration (%/m) x 10. Default heat alarm levels (50°C / 58°C) and smoke alarm offsets (50 / 58)
regarded as two alarm points.

The technical address is set with an Address setting tool 3314 / 4414. The detector
has an address label on which the programmed technical address is to be written.
Note: The multi detector 4300 in system FT128 takes two COM loop (technical)
addresses of the available 255 addresses. One address that is set with the 3314 / 4414
tool but also the following address will be "occupied" for the heat part of the detector and
cannot be used by any other unit on the COM loop.
The Address setting tool 3314 / 4414 is also used for mode setting:
NORMAL mode: 4300 is set to this mode in EBLWin. For the smoke detector, set
to one of six algorithms H-15, H-35, L-15, L-35, N-15 or N-35 and for the heat
detector set to one of three algorithms for class A1 (static response temp. 5465°C), A2 S (54-70°C) or B S (69-85°C).
4301 Analogue photo electric smoke detector. Discontinued and replaced with 4401
in Normal mode, see below. Scattered light (i.e. reflection of infrared light)

the 4300 detector and the smoke chamber net has even made with smaller holes,
this will keep insects and particles 52 larger than smoke particles out of the
chamber.
The COM loop address (Technical address) is set with the Address setting tool
3314 / 4414. The detector has an address label on which the programmed technical
address can be written.
The Address setting tool is also used for mode setting:
Advanced mode: Only the new Address setting tool 4414 can be used to set 4400
to “Advanced” mode. Note, the Address setting tool 3314 cannot be used to set
“Advanced” mode!
In Advanced mode, 4400 will use an algorithms in the detector for fire alarm
evaluation. It can be set to a Learning function or via EBLWin to one of five area
alarm algorithms (Normal, Clean, Smoke/Steam, Cooking/Welding or Heater area),
see Section Advanced Mode, page 127.
An alternative smoke and/or heat algorithm can be used via one or two time
channels. 4400 has a green polling LED. Via EBLWin, the green polling LED can
be set to blink when the detector is polled or never blink. Note, the LED will not be
blinking if the detector is in Test mode.
In “Advanced” mode, only one COM loop address will be occupied for the multi
detector.
NORMAL mode: 4400 in this mode has to be programmed in EBLWin as a 4300
detector, i.e. the 4400 detector will work as a replacement for the Analogue multi
detector 4300 and two COM loop addresses will be occupied, see 4300 above.
The smoke detector part has to be set to one of six alarm algorithms H-15, H-35,
L-15, L-35, N-15 or N-35 and the heat detector part has to be set to one of three
alarm algorithms for class A1 (static response temp. 54-65°C), A2 S (54-70°C) or
B S (69-85°C). An alternative smoke and/or heat algorithm can be used via one or
two time channels.
4401 Analogue photo electric smoke detector. Replaces 4301 in Normal mode, see
above. Scattered light (i.e. reflection of infrared light) is used to detect smoke. To
be plugged in an Analogue base (3312 / 4313 / 3379). Built-in LEDs are blinking
to indicate that the detector has activated fire alarm. Prepared for mechanical lock

4401 has slightly different design to the 4301 detector and the smoke chamber net
has even made smaller with holes that will keep insects and particles 52 larger than
smoke particles out of the chamber. The technical address is set with Address
setting tool 3314 / 4414. The detector has an address label on which the
programmed technical address can be written.
The Address setting tool is also used for mode setting:
Advanced mode: 4401 has to be set to Advanced mode via only the Address
setting tool 4414. Note, the Address setting tool 3314 cannot be used to set
Advanced mode! In Advanced mode, this detector will use algorithms in the
detector for fire alarm evaluation. It can be set to a Learning function or via EBLWin
to one of three area alarm algorithms (Normal, Clean or Smoke/Steam area), see
Section “Advanced Mode”, page 127.
For example dust, steam, etc.

An alternative area alarm algorithm can be used via a time channel. 4401 has a
green polling LED. Via EBLWin, the green polling LED can be set to either blink
when the detector is polled or never blink. Note, the LED will not be blinking if the
detector is in Test mode.
NORMAL mode: In this mode 4401 has to be programmed in EBLWin as a 4301
detector, i.e. the 4401 detector will work as a replacement of the Analogue
photoelectric smoke detector 4301 (see 4301 above) and has to be set to one of
six alarm algorithms H-15, H-35, L-15, L-35, N-15 or N-35. An alternative alarm
algorithm can be used via a time channel.

The address setting tool 3314/4414 is used for address and mode settings:
NORMAL mode: Used for 4445 in system FT128 version ≥ V2.2.x
2330 mode: Used to program Brooks AAM.
Note: The programming in EBLWin and the operation of the Panasonic 4445 are typically
the same as for Brooks AAM but using different terminology i.e.
LAAU = AAM
LAA zone = AAFC zone
The mode setting is also different in software version ≥ V2.2.x
A current consumption of 0.85-2.2 A allows only the "low current charging mode", i.e. the battery capacity can be up to 27
Ah. A current consumption < 0.85 A allows the "high current charging mode", i.e. the battery capacity can be up to 60 Ah.
However, batteries larger than 12AH require different enclosure to suit.
The AAFC function in EBLWin V2.2.0 has been moved from “Add loop unit” menu tree to the “Obsolete loop unit” submenu.

All or selected alarms will be presented in a display same as 1736 (alphanumeric LCD, 2x40 characters), with back-light. An alarm text will be presented
with each alarm, if programmed in FT128. Furthermore, at least 617 texts can
be stored in the unit for selected fire alarms and will in such a case be shown,
instead of the texts sent out from FT128 for these alarms. These text messages
will be downloaded to the unit via FT128.
Any fault in the system will be presented as "General fault in system", a built-in
buzzer will sound similar to FT128 buzzer and can be silenced. Any
disablement in the system will be presented as "General disablement in
system".
The buzzer can be silenced but the alarm devices in the system e.g. OWS,
sounders, etc. cannot be silenced via this unit. New software versions73 can be
downloaded directly in the unit. The unit is power supplied from FT128 or an
external power supply. The unit must run in S/W mode 1728 – 1587, which has

Figure 29 Signal Output Periods
Delay time, Pulse length, Pulse off and/or De-Activation, have to be set for the "Signal
period" respectively. For types 2 & 5, the x and y times must be equal and maximum 5.6s.
For types 3 & 6 the x time must be maximum 5.6s.
Note: The different types can be used together with the different outputs according to
Table 12 below
Table 12 Output signal period for the programmable output
83
Page 84
The types that can be used in the "Output Signal period" for the programmable output
89
respectively are:
X = Output type can be used.
XX = Output type can be used but only 0.8s/0.8s.
XXX = Output type can be used but maximum 5.6s/5.6s and the pulse maximum 5.6s
respectively.
10.5 Control Expression
Each programmable output has to be given a control expression 89. It is created by using
Boolean algebra.
If an output is to be used for manual control only e.g. an AS1668 fan control output or an
output controlled by input trigger condition “Activate output”, a “never true” control
expression must be programmed. In such a case, control expression
“TimeChannelActivated” (Always off) can be used.
Trigger conditions (see "Available functions"), logical "Operators" (AND, OR, NOT) and
parentheses are used to build up a "control expression" containing up to 40 trigger
conditions. See also chapter "Control Expression Examples”, page 90.
A programmable output will be activated as long as its control expression is true.

10.6 Logical Operators
The logical operators available in EBLWin are in the following priority order:
( ) parentheses, changes priority order
NOT not-function (inverts), is written NOT in EBLWin
AND and-function, is written AND in EBLWin
OR or-function, is written OR in EBLWin
10.6.1 Control Expression Examples
In order to understand how to create control expressions, here follow some AND, OR, NOT
and ( ) examples and also some control expression examples.
10.6.1.1 AND
a AND b AND c=y
y is true (=1) when all the conditions a, b, c are true, i.e. a=1 and b=1
and c=1 makes y=1. All other combinations makes y=0.
This is also shown in the truth table:
.
10.6.1.2 OR
a OR b OR c=y
y is true if at least one of the conditions a, b, c is true, i.e. a=1 or b=1
or c=1 makes y=1.
This is also shown in the truth table:
10.6.1.3 NOT
Inverts a condition, e.g. NOT b = NOT 0 = 1.
A OR NOT b AND c =y
This is shown in the truth table:

This is shown in the truth table:
10.6.1.5 Control Expressions
The AND operator has priority, i.e. a AND b OR c = (a AND b) OR c. This is perhaps more
obvious if you write it: a · b + c.
NOTE! a AND b OR c ≠ a AND (b OR c).
Here follows some examples (and explanations) to show the principles how to build a
control expression with "conditions" and logical operators:
Example 1
Output: Voltage output S0
Control expression: Pre Warning Zone (10)
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Explanation: Pre-warning activated in zone 10 will activate the output S0.
Example 2
Output: Relay output R0
Control expression: General Control disabled AND NOT Door Open
Explanation: Controls disabled via menu H2/B7 will activate the output R0
when the door in FT128 is not open (i.e. closed).
Example 3
Output: Voltage output VO0
Control expression: Fire Alarm Zone (23) AND Fire Alarm Zone (24) AND NOT
General Fault
Explanation: Fire alarm activated in zone 23 and zone 24 will activate the
output VO0 when there are one or more faults in the system at
the same time.
Example 4
Output: Voltage output S1
Control expression: Consecutive Fire Alarm (10,10,10,19,1) OR Consecutive Fire
Alarm (10,21,10,40,1)
Explanation: Fire alarm activated by one of the alarm points in zone 10
addresses 10-19 or by one of the alarm points in zone 10
addresses 21-40 will activate the output S1 (i.e. the alarm point
in zone 10 address 20 will not activate the output S1).

11 Short Circuit Isolators
102
103

4313 Analogue base with isolator has built-in short circuit isolator that requires a separate
COM loop address and a Sequence Number, 00-63.
The units 4433, 4439 and 4477 have built-in isolator that do not require any separate COM
loop address, only a Sequence Number, 00-63. As an option, these units can be used
without the isolator in function. If so, they have to be programmed in EBLWin as if they
were 3333, 3339 and 3377 units and via the address setting tool 4313/4413 set to 2330
mode instead of NORMAL mode.
An open circuit (break) or short circuit on the COM loop has to generate a fault in the control
unit within 60-100 seconds.
If one or more Short Circuit Isolators are used
(i.e. the part between two Short Circuit Isolators or between the control unit and one Short
Circuit Isolator). Only the affected segment will be isolated, which will minimise the number
of units disabled by a short circuit.
The fault messages will also show between which isolators the short circuit is situated.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
, the loop will be divided into "segments"
Figure 31 Short Circuit Isolators example in FT128
The first isolator (ISO) in the A-direction must have the sequence no. 0 (ISO no. 0), the
next sequence is no. 1 (ISO no. 1) and so on. The sequence no. is programmed via
EBLWin.
If no Short Circuit Isolators are used, the whole COM loop will be disabled in case of short
circuit on the loop.
As from version 2.1.x, the communication (and power supply) direction will alternate every
22 seconds.
COM loop end-point voltage
<12 VDC or COM loop short circuit or COM loop
break(s):
This will start a "cycle" as follows.
The whole loop will be disabled, i.e. no voltage on the loop which means that all
isolator relays will be powered down (= all isolators disabled), i.e. there will be a
“break” on the L (SA) wire in each isolator.
A control unit algorithm will now try to re-enable the first isolator in the A-direction
(ISO no. 0 / sequence no. 0). If this is possible, the next isolator in the A-direction
At least one short circuit isolator must be install every 40 alarm points as required by AS1670.1.
When communicating in the A-direction.
92

FT128 Rev 2.2
(ISO no. 1 / sequence no. 1) will be re-enabled, if this is possible, and so on. The
isolator just before a short circuit cannot be re-enabled.
The control unit algorithm will now try to re-enable the first isolator in the B-direction
(ISO no. 3 / sequence no. 3 in Figure 16). If this is possible, the next isolator in the
B-direction will be re-enabled, and so on.
Finally all isolators will be re-enabled except the isolator on each side of a short
circuit and any isolator(s) between two or more breaks on the loop.
Communication will be in both directions for 10 minutes. Then a new “cycle” starts.
If the “fault(s)” are not corrected, the communication will be in both directions for
another 10 minutes when a new “cycle” starts, and so on.
If the “fault(s)” are corrected, the communication will return to be in the A-direction
only.
Depending on if it is too low voltage on the loop, short circuit, one break or two or more
breaks, the fault messages will be different.
FAULT: Cut-off SCI nn <-> SCI nn
nn = A, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 - - up to 63 or B.
FAULT: Short circuit SCI nn <-> SCI nn
nn = A, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 - - up to 63 or B.
If there are multiple loop faults, i.e. one or more short circuits and/or one or more Cut-offs,
there will be a “multiple COM loop fault” message.
FAULT: Several faults on COM-loop
The first fault message will show the first fault in the A-direction.
There will always be a “no reply” message for all units not found in spite of communication
in both directions.
FAULT: No reply xx-xx
FAULT: No reply techn address xxx
Regarding Fault acknowledge, see the FT128 Operation Manual.
Note: After the faults are acknowledged it can take up to 10 minutes before the faults will
disappear from the fault list, since the check ("cycle") starts every 10th minute.

12 Interlocking Function
104
104
Filters the lists of interlocking with anything containing “1”
The interlocking function is used to verify that an output has been activated, i.e. by
"combining" an output with an input (feed-back from the equipment controlled by the
corresponding interlocking output).
12.1 Interlocking Programming
Up to 100 Interlocking Combinations can be programmed using EBLWin.
Note: Each interlocking input and each interlocking output can only be used in one
interlocking combination.
Area and Point fields are unique identifiers for each paired interlocking combination
synonymous to Zone-Address. They are presented in this format NN-NN with the first 2
digits representing the Area and the last 2 digits representing the Point. Both Area and
Point numbers range from 1-99.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
It is advantageous to have a numbering system planned correlating to the location (“Area”)
when assigning a Name to the interlocking combinations. Having some form of structure
to the numbering will greatly help organise the SSD file and make it easier to understand
and assist with troubleshooting later. One should also consider including all I/O devices
into this numbering structure so that it will be easier to select from the list of interlocking
combinations.
A Filter Function Box as shown in Figure 32 below, is available to assist with listing only
those interlocking combinations of interests. This will become more powerful when some
sort of numbering structure is in place. Figure 32 was from a list of 100 interlocking
combinations, typing in “1”
anything containing “1”. One can see the usefulness of having a planned numbering
structure in place from this example should all interlocking combinations on containing 1
were called for.
Available interlocking inputs and/or outputs will appear in the EBLWin dialog box shown in
Figure 33 page 95, only when each input and output have been configured with Type =

12.1.3 Interlocking Combination
The interlocking function requires one interlocking output and one interlocking input to be
programmed in one interlocking combination.
Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2
Note: The interlocking outputs and inputs have to be programmed first before
programming the interlocking combination.
An interlocking combination can have only an output or only an input programmed, e.g.
when a user definable text message is required to indicate an activated output or input and
alerted from the buzzer.

To configure an interlocking combination, the following procedures can be used:
1 Select from each side of the interlocking inputs and/or outputs lists, click the
button, this puts the selection into the selected output/input fields.

12.3.2 Activate / deactivate Interlocking Output (H9/C2)
Even if the control expression for an interlocking output is not fulfilled (true), the output can
be manually activated via this menu.
The "Interlocking Combination" (Area / Point) is to be entered to activate the output. The
corresponding interlocking input will be "monitored" in the same way as if the output was
activated by its control expression.
Reset has to be performed via menu H9/C3.
12.3.3 Reset interlocking output (H9/C3)
Activated interlocking outputs are listed here. Use "↑" "↓" to scroll between the "Interlocking
Combinations" (Area / Point).
Interlocking output activated via its control expression and latching output selected: The
output has to be reset via this menu.
Interlocking output activated via its control expression and latching output not selected: The
output can be reset via this menu.
Interlocking output activated via menu H9/C2: The output has to be reset via this menu.
12.3.4 Disable Interlocking Output (H9/C4)
Interlocking outputs (i.e. Output Type = Interlocking) can be individually disabled via menu
H9/C4. A disabled output will stay in (or return to) the normal condition for the output
respectively. The "Interlocking Combination" (i.e. Area / Point) is to be entered to disable
the output.
All the interlocking outputs can be disabled collectively via menu H2/B4.

12.3.5 Re-enable Interlocking Output (H9/C5)
Interlocking outputs (i.e. Output Type = Interlocking) can be re-enabled via this menu
H9/C5.
Disabled interlocking outputs are listed in menu H9/C5. Use "↑" "↓" to scroll between the
"Interlocking Combinations" (i.e. Area / Point) or type it via the key-pad.
All the interlocking outputs, disabled via menu H2/B4, can be re-enabled collectively via
menu H2/B8.
12.4 Interlocking Control Expressions
A programmable output control expression can contain "interlocking" trigger conditions
("Functions") numbers 30-33 (see Section "Control Expression”, page 84 i.e. one or more
outputs can be activated when one or more interlocking inputs are activated.

13 Fire Door Closing Function
Programmable outputs can be used for fire door closing. A special trigger condition is
available (Fire Door Closing.). Type of output is normally "Control, neutral".
One or more alarm points can control the output, i.e. the detectors on both sides of the fire
door as shown in the figure below.
FT128 Rev 2.2
In case of one of the following events, the output will be "activated" and the fire door will
close:
Fire alarm (from any of the detectors controlling the fire door)
"Test mode" (the zone involved set in test mode)
Fault (i.e. "no answer" from any of the detectors
Disablement (any of the detectors controlling the fire door or the involved zone.
A definite time every day, if programmed via EBLWin. (The output will be activated
for 20 seconds.)
Via a programmable input (trigger condition trigger condition no. 9 = Door Closing
Test Input). The output will be activated for 20 seconds.
Note: For safety reasons, an I/O unit 3361 output should not be used. If a short circuit or
double break exists on the COM loop, the I/O unit cannot be forced to activate the output,
i.e. the door will not be closed.
If a magnet contact is available, it is possible to get a "closed fire door verification" via the
Interlocking function. In this case, Type of input / output has to be "Interlocking in-/output".
See also chapter Interlocking Function, page 94.

14 Functions / Services / Features
Some Functions / Services / Features require programming via EBLWin, see chapter PC
software (S/W), page 14.
How to connect the PC and more information, see chapter "Download SSD" page 157 and
"Download software (S/W)" page 160.
Notes: The information in the following sections from 14.1 - 14.7 is valid for the analogue
smoke detectors 430x / 440x in NORMAL mode.
Chapter 14.5 is valid for the analogue heat detectors 3308 / 3309 in NORMAL mode.
For the analogue detectors 440x in Advanced mode, see chapter “Advanced
Mode”, page 127.
14.1 Sensor Value
An analogue smoke detector is like a "sensor". It detects its environment at all times. Each
detected analogue value is converted in the detector to a digital "sensor values", which is
continuously picked up and evaluated by FT128 for each individual detector. In Figure 34
the (digital) sensor values (during a certain time) are represented by the graph "Working
level".
FT128 Rev 2.2
14.2 Week Average Sensor Value
Each hour, one sensor value is stored in a special memory (in FT128) and each week,
these stored sensor values are used to calculate a "week average sensor value".
is done for each analogue smoke detector individually. In Figure 34 the (digital) week
average sensor values are represented by the graph "Week average sensor value" (B).
Each analogue smoke detector has a default sensor value = 0.1 %/m and a week average
sensor value = 0.1 %/m (i.e. at Time = 0).
A "Fire Alarm Offset" (value) is added to the week average sensor value to get each
detector's "Fire Alarm Level", i.e. the fire alarm level will be adjusted in relation to each
new week average sensor value in order to keep the detector's fire alarm sensitivity
constant. The fire alarm level is in Figure 34 represented by the graph "Fire alarm level"
(C) - parallel with the graph "Week average sensor value" (B).
In Figure 34 (at Time = 0):
The week average sensor value (B) is 0.1 %/m and the fire alarm offset is 3 %/m, i.e.
the fire alarm level (C) is 0.1+3=3.1 %/m.
Service signal will be given when the week average sensor value for a detector has
reached the service signal level (1.8 %/m), i.e. the detector is "dirty" and has to be
replaced. See "Service level" (D) Figure 34. The week average sensor value will now stay
on 1.8 %/m, i.e. the detector will be more sensitive until it is replaced with a new one.
"Sensor Information" is available via menu H4/U4. Via EBLWin and a PC connected to
FT128 you can also get continuous "Sensor Information" for one or several detectors.
This
Also via the Web-server II 1598 you can get "Sensor Information" for one or several
analogue detectors on a COM loop.
The smoke detector sensor values are presented as obscuration in % per meter (%/m).
(Heat detector values as °C.)
The very first week average sensor value will be calculated within 2½ minutes after any restart, i.e. also after SSD
download. During this "2½ min. period" all analogue smoke detector fire alarms are suppressed.
