and Indicating Equipment (c.i.e.) intended for analog addressable
smoke and heat detectors. Also conventional detectors and manual
call points can be used. Programmable inputs, control outputs and I/O
units are available. Up to 128 addresses can be connected to EBL128.
EBL128 is fully compliant with the European standard EN54 parts 2
and 4 and the front is fully SS3654 compliant.
3.2 S/W versions
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W
versions can be found. You can update the S/W in EBL128 on site.
3.3 Documents
The following documents are available:
Planning instructions
Drawings
Operating instructions
Information found in one document is normally not to be found in
another document, i.e. the documents complement each other.
Product Leaflet for EBL128 and other units are available as pdf
documents on our web site: http://www.panasonic-fire-security.com
3.4 Applications
EBL128 is intended for small and medium installations. The
intelligent control unit offer the system designer and end user a
technically sophisticated range of facilities and functions.
Programming (via PC S/W Win128) and commissioning is very easy.
3.5 PC S/W
Win128 is used for programming and commissioning, i.e. to:
create / download / upload (backup) the site specific data (SSD)
download new S/W version / settings / conventions /
configurations / EBL128 data / etc.
create / download the alarm texts shown in the display in EBL128
/ ext. FBP and/or AA units.
Win128 shall have the same version number as the EBL128 S/W
version number, e.g. 1.1.x. Only x may be different. Old SSD files
can be used with a newer EBL128 S/W version. Open and save the
old SSD file in the new Win128 version before the download. If a
backup is required, use the same Win128 version as the EBL128
version.

MEW01091 Rev: 3 EBL128 Operating Instructions V1.1.x
13
The FBP is used by the fire brigade personnel to see which alarm
point / zone having activated the fire alarm(s), silence alarm devices,
reset alarms, etc. In the display (LCD, 2x40 alphanumeric characters),
the information displayed on the first row is depending on how many
alarm points / zones having activated fire alarm, convention and
language.
On the second row is, for the activated alarm point / zone, an alarm
text shown, if programmed. See chapter "Fire alarm", page 39.
Required fire brigade personnel manoeuvres are performed via the
FBP in EBL128 or via an external FBP 1826 / 1828.
Instead of external FBPs 1826 / 1828, the German Fire Brigade
Control Panels (Feuerwehr-Bedienfeld) FBF 2003 and/or German
Fire Brigade Indicator Panels (Feuerwehr-Anzeigetableau) FAT 2002
can be used.
The CP is used by the EBL128 owner, service personnel, etc. to
"communicate" with EBL128, e.g. for monthly tests, disablements
commissioning, maintenance and service. Access codes for different
access levels are required. A keypad is used to get access to the menu
tree, i.e. main and sub menus for data input / output, manoeuvres, etc.
The CP also holds several system status LEDs.

8 "Silence Alarm devices"
In EBL128, on the FBP, there is a push button "Silence Alarm
devices" (P3).
If the push button "Silence Alarm devices" is pressed during a prewarning, a fire alarm26 or a Co-incidence alarm, the following will
happen:
LEDs "Fire" (L1) and "Alarms queued" (L2)27 continue to be
blinking (0.4 / 0.4).
Activated outputs28, programmed for sounders (type Alarm
devices), will be silenced.
In case of a new alarm, or if the push button "Silence Alarm devices"
is pressed again, the sounders will automatically sound again and the
LEDs "Fire" and "Alarms queued" starts blinking.
NOTE! This is also valid for Pre-warning and Co-incidence alarm.
8.1 Silence alarm devices (inside switch)
NOTE! The functions in this chapter are valid for the New Zealand
convention only.
The button "Silence alarm devices" (P3) is called the "inside switch"
and has the following function:
The inside switch toggles between two states.
Alarm devices disabled
All programmable outputs of type "Alarm devices" are
disabled, i.e. they cannotbe activated.
Alarm devices not disabled
All programmable outputs of type "Alarm devices" enabled,
i.e. they can be activated.
If the inside switch is in its disabled state when the c.i.e. door is being
closed the buzzer will beep once and the message "Silence switch
left active" will be shown in the LCD. For priority order see
chapter "The display in EBL128", page 20.
NOTE! The inside switch has no function if the outside switch (see
below) is activated (ON).
26
In the New Zealand convention "Acknowledged alarm" (ACK) as well.
27
When more than one fire alarm is activated.
28
Including Addressable siren 3377 and Addressable sounder base 3379.

8.2 New Zealand FB Silence switch (outside
switch)
NOTE! The functions in this chapter are valid for the New Zealand
convention only.
The "New Zealand FB Silence switch" is called the "outside switch"
since it is placed outside the c.i.e. The outside switch is a key switch
and connected to a programmable input with the trigger condition
"New Zealand FB Silence switch".
The outside switch can be in two states.
The outside switch is turned ON (i.e. from not activated to activated
state).
All programmable outputs of type "Alarm devices" are
disabled, i.e. they cannotbe activated. The "inside switch" (se
above) has no function.
LED:s "Fire" (on the front) changes from blinking to steady
(continuous).29
The c.i.e. built-in buzzer is silenced.
A fault is generated30: "FAULT: FB Silence switch
active".
The outside switch is turned OFF (i.e. from activated to not
activated state).
The fault "FAULT: FB Silence switch active" will be
Serviced.
31
Any alarm point / zone in fire alarm state will automatically be
disabled / isolated. (I.e. it has to be re-enabled via menu
H2/B5-B6.)
Any alarm point / zone in fire alarm state will automatically
change state to "Isolated alarm" and in the fire alarm list
(presented in the LCD) will "ALM" be changed to "ISO".
An example:
ISO ZONE-ADDR 12-46 LAST ZONE 12 No. 01
This is a user defined alarm text.
29
This is valid also if the fire alarm is activated after the outside switch is
turned ON.
30
Always latched, regardless of if faults are programmed to be not latched.
31
Since this fault is always latched, it has to be acknowledged via menu H6.
