• EBL128, an intelligent analog addressable fire alarm system for up to 128 addresses

• Auto generation of the Site Specific Data for easier c.i.e. programming

Analog addressable system

EBL128 is an intelligent analog addressable

fire alarm system, conforming to the EN54-2
and the EN54-4 standards. It meets the most
stringent requirements in order to secure real
fire alarms and to reduce nuisance alarms.

Features / functions

A user-friendly PC software Win128 is used

to create, edit, download and upload
(backup) the Site Specific Data (SSD).

An SSD Auto generation function is

included in Win128. The units that are
connected to EBL128 can be identified and
the SSD can be auto generated with default
settings and be edited before the download.

Some other features / functions:

• Compensation for contamination, i.e.

analog smoke detectors have constant
sensitivity in spite of any contamination.

A Service signal will be given when a

detector has to be replaced.

• Advanced alarm algorithms are used

to filter the nuisance alarms from the
real fire alarms and one algorithm is
used for detection of smouldering fires.

• User related functions, e.g. Test mode,

Disablements, Alert annunciation, Fire
door closing, Interlocking combinations
of outputs & inputs, Time channels, Co­incidence alarm, User definable text
message for each alarm point, etc.

• Programmable inputs and outputs. In

the c.i.e. and/or via I/O units on the
COM loop. A large number of trigger
conditions are available.

• Outputs for routing equipment. Fire

alarm, Fault and Power supply.

• Socket for an optional RS485

transceiver component to provide an
interface for up to four ext. Fire Brigade
Panels, Ext. Presentation Units and/or
Alert Annunciation Units.

• Interface (RS232) for a PC (Win128)

• Interface (RS232) and power supply for

Web-server 1588.

Optional RS485 transceiver 4552, provides
an interface for up to four display units.

Optional expansion boards 458x mounted in
an exp. board holder 4551 provides 8 zone
line inputs and 8 relay outputs respectively.

Up to 128 addresses

The EBL128 c.i.e. has one COM loop for
connection of the loop units (address 001-

127). Each loop unit uses one address.

Some loop units that can be connected:

• Analog heat & smoke detectors

• Addressable manual call points

• Addressable short circuit isolators

• Addressable input and output units (to

which e.g. conventional detectors and
manual call points can be connected)

• Addressable sirens & sounder bases

• Addressable external power supply units

Miscellaneous

The cabinet has a space for two sealed
Lead-Acid batteries (2x12 V, 16-18 Ah).

EBL128 is intended for indoor use and in
dry premises.
