3.9 Configuring the extinction channel
The parameters of the extinction channel, for control- panels that provide one, can be accessed through the control-panel programming section (paragraph 2.2), by simply tapping on the relevant icon on the configuration screen.
The successive sections provide the various programmable parameters (refer to the extinction flowchart and the table of extinction-terminal functions in the installation manual).
3.9.1 Extinction times
The following parameters can be set on the extinction­channel configuration page:
• Automatic pre-extinction time: duration of pre-
extinction time, in seconds, when triggered by fire­fighting devices connected to the control panel.
• Manual pre-extinction time: duration of pre-extinction
time, in seconds, when triggered by input devices programmed for manual-extinction (refer to following sections).
• Valve Pulse (option 4.21 “Control of flooding time” of EN
12094-1): duration of release time, in seconds. Leaving the respective box [A] empty removes all time limitations.

3.9.2Trigger zones
The Zones button [B] accesses a screen that permits up to three zones to activate the extinction phase when, within one of the indicated zones, a certain number of alarms is reached.
In order to select the zones, you must first activate one of the three available options via the [D] check box, then tap on the respective field at the side [E] to access the list of configured zones. The arrow buttons [F] will allow you to specify the number of alarms (maximum 3).
The image at the side shows how the system can be configured so that the extinction channel is activated when there are at least two alarms in zone 2.
3.9.3Extinction input
The Inputs button [C] will allow you to configure the control-panel input points to activate the extinction functions.
EN12094-1: To ensure compliance with EN 12094-1, the inputs in use must be on-board I/O or supervised inputs on
loop modules (such as the EM312SR module). It is not possible to connect more than 32 devices to each of the selected input terminals. It is necessary to specify the input associated with the “Manual Extinction” function (the others are optional).
These functions are grouped into the following categories:
•Activate
This section provides the extinction-activation parameters.
The parameters of the “Manual extinction” command allow for the selection of an associated group (loop 1, loop 2 or one of the “I/O” terminals [G]), and the point [H] that activates the release of the fire extinguishing agent in accordance with the programmed pre-extinction time.
Selecting “--” for the group disables manual extinction on the control panel.
•Deactivate
This section provides the parameters for stopping the extinction procedure. There are 4 different modes available for stopping the extinction procedure, each one attributable to a different input:
- Stop Extinct. ABORT (Option 4.27 “Emergency
interruption device” of EN 12094-1): stops the extinction procedure definitively
- Stop Extinct. HOLD (Option 4.20 “Emergency hold
device” of EN 12094-1): stops the extinction procedure until reset (which restarts the pre-extinction time)
- Stop Extinct. ADD (Option 4.20 “Emergency hold
device” of EN 12094-1): stop the extinction procedure until reset (the pre-extinction time-counter will not be altered)
- Stop Extinct. EXTERN (Option 4.19 "Monitoring the status of components" of EN 12094-1): same as “Stop Extinc.
Hold”, but activated without human intervention (for example by a door contact that inhibits the release of gas)
The parameters of the 4 commands allow for the assignment of a group (loop 1, loop 2 or one of the terminals “I/O” [G])) and the point [H] which activates the relative stop-extinction mode.
Selecting “--” for the assigned group disables the related stop-extinction mode.
EN12094-1: If the “Stop Extinction ABORT” function is utilized with a Previdia Compact control panel, the “Stop
Extinction HOLD” and “Stop Extinction ADD” functions cannot be associated with inputs, and vice versa.

•Disable
This section provides the parameters of disabling the extinction procedure. There are 3 different modes available for disabling the extinction procedure, each one attributable to a different input:
- Disab. Extinguishing: disables all the extinction
functions
- Disab. Man. Exting.: disables the programmed inputs
for manual activation of the extinction procedure
- Disab. Aut. Exting. (option 4.23 “Manual only mode” of
EN 12094-1): disables the automatic-activation of the extinction procedure
The parameters of the 3 different disablement modes allow for the assignment of a group (loop 1, loop 2 or one of the terminals “I/O” [G])) and the point [H] which activates the related extinction-disablement mode.
Selecting “--” for the assigned group disables the related extinction-disablement mode.
•Flow/Pressure
This section provides the parameters for the functions of the “Pressure switch”, “Pressure switch confirm” and “Flow switch” that can be associated with three different inputs:
- Pressure switch (option 4.19 “Monitoring of the status
of components” of EN 12094-1): input for the connection of a pressure valve that activates in the event of low pressure in the cylinders
- Flow switch (option 4.18 “Signal representing the flow
of the extinguishing agent” EN 12094-1): input for the connection of a flow sensor, the activation of which signals the release of the fire-extinguishing gas
- Press. switch Confirm: input for the connection of a
device used to verify the release condition of the fire-extinguishing gas by means of the pressure switch
The parameters of the 3 different functions allow for the assignment of a group (loop 1, loop 2 or one of the terminals “I/ O” [G])) and the point [H] associated with the extinction function.
Selecting “--” for the assigned group disables the related function type.
3.9.4 Extinction outputs
In order to configure an output for the extinction function, you must associate it with one of the default groups prepared for this purpose, and described below.
EN12094-1: You must use on-board I/O or supervised outputs on the loop (such as the EM312SR module or sounder/
flashers on the loop).
You must provide outputs associated with the following functions (the others are optional):
-Electrovalve
-Pre-extinction
-Release
The “Electrovalve” function can only be associated with the output corresponding to the “I/O 4” terminal on the motherboard of the control panel.
The default “Pre-Extinction” function is associated with the output corresponding to the “I/O 3” terminal on the motherboard of the control panel.

26 Commissioning
Fire detection and extinguishant system
Chapter 5
Commissioning
The commissioning phase is a set of tests and verifications which are necessary to ensure the full efficiency and proper functioning of the system as specified in the executive project. This phase is essential and must be performed in a scrupulously in accordance the regulatory requirements of the country where the system is installed and in full respect of the recommendations herein.
Ensure the test and verification procedures are performed only after securing the system and after having verified that any device activations controlled by the system will not cause any conditions of danger, and that all the building occupants who can be reached by the audible and visual signalling have been preventively informed.
Ensure that the person who is responsible for the security of the building where the tests and inspections are being carried out has taken countermeasures to avoid any situations of panic or distress for the building occupants.
5.1 Testing the Control panel
It is necessary to check the functionality status of the front plate by first checking the information supplied on the screen and LEDs and then by inspecting the efficiency of the command devices (user-interface buttons, access keys, etc.):
• Check the functionality status of the screen and ensure that the information provided is clear.
• Ensure that the descriptions of the various zones, points and system elements entered during the data-entry phase are correct, and that the information provided on the screen clearly indicates any detectable conditions of danger.
• Check that there are no indications present of faults, alarms or anomalies of any type whatsoever. In the event of such indications, proceed with the removal of the causes of faults and anomalies.
• Check the status the functionality of the LEDs and buzzer. The front panel provides a button for the simultaneous activation of all the LEDs and buzzer thus allowing evaluation of their efficiency (refer to the description of the User Interface).
• Check the efficiency of the front-plate buttons and keys.
• Check the status of the power-supply sources (mains and batteries) and the control panel current draw.
For control of the power-supply parameters you can:
- access the configuration menu (refer to paragraph 2.3) and touch the appropriate icon on the
configuration screen of the control panel.
- tap on the power grid icon on the status bar

5.2 Testing to detectors and manual activations
All the installed detectors must be tested during the commissioning phase. It is necessary to check the capacity of each detector to react to a simulated condition of fire, and to check the precision of the signals transmitted to the control panel in response to its activation (description of the point and zone).
For this purpose it is possible to use the Test function provided by the control panel ([E]), in the “Zone” section, accessible via the “System status” menu on the homepage (paragraph 2.1).
By tapping this button it is possible to place one or more zones in test status. The activation of a detector which belongs to a zone in test status will not generate any alarm signalling or activate the outputs or signalling devices. However, the control panel will activate the signalling LEDs on the detectors and will perform automatic reset after a few seconds without any need of further intervention by the operator on the control panel.
The activation of a point which belongs to a zone in test status will be recorded in the events log. Therefore, on completion of the test on all the zone devices, the operator can check the congruence of the various indications by means of the log.
The activation of all the manual call points (alarm buttons) must be tested in the same way as described for the detectors.
5.3 Testing signalling and activations
The functionality and efficiency of all the signalling devices must be checked thoroughly.
It is possible to test such devices by activating the relative LEDs and outputs manually from the control panel via the respective management page.
To reach this page you must access the “Points” section via the “System status” menu on the homepage (paragraph 2.1 First startup). By selecting the loop and point to be tested and then pressing the relative View buttons, you can reach the respective management page where you will find the Actions button [F]. This button activates other buttons, amongst those for the test functions are:
• Turn On output
•Turn On LED
Note: Testing devices by means of manual activation does not test functionality and efficiency of the cause/
effect association which determines their activation (programming coherence of groups), therefore, it is necessary to perform real functionality tests.
5.4 Extinction system test
Particular attention must be paid to the testing of eventual fire extinction systems.
Special attention must be paid to the functionality and safety of the extinguishing-agent release devices before proceeding with the testing of all activation and stop-extinction procedures in accordance with the requirements of the executive project.
