Fire alarm system EBL512

________________________________________________________________________

The demands on fire alarm systems are increasing. The system must have
the highest possible alert during the normal daily activities, i.e. the most
important task for a fire alarm system is an early detection of a fire in order to
save life and property in different environments. Difficult detected fires, such
as glowing or smouldering fires, have to be quickly and effectively detected.
On the other hand, you also want to reduce the nuisance alarms to a
minimum, i.e. the system has to have a high sensitivity and a low sensitivity
"at the same time".
The system is also exposed to an increasing number of interferences such as
mobile telephones and disturbances from the surrounding environment.
All these demands require an intelligent system, i.e. both the c.i.e. and the
detectors have to be intelligent.

General

EBL512 is an analog addressable
fire alarm system.
EBL512 fulfils the EN54 standards:
EN54 part 2 (Control and Indicating
Equipment) and EN54 part 4
(Power Supply).
The c.i.e. can, on four COM loops,
handle up to 512 input and/or
output units, i.e. detectors, manual
call points, general in and output
units for free programmable user
definable functions, etc. Each loop
unit uses one address.
Conventional detectors can also be
used in the system.

Control and Indication Equipment EBL512

EBL512 can work as a standalone
unit or in a TLON-network with up
to 30 units.

Every c.i.e. has access to all the
information from the other units in
the same network. The total
number of addresses in a system is
accordingly more than 15.000!

EBL512 - a unique concept for
early and safe detection without
any nuisance alarms

EBL512 is a new generation of fire
alarm systems with a unique
functionality and many built-in
functions. Advanced alarm
algorithms, compensation for
contamination, self-diagnostics and
inter activity makes the system
suitable for almost any premises.

• Each analog detector in the
system is individually super­vised and the sensitivity of each
analog detector is constant, in
spite of any contamination or
background particles. Also the
long-term changes as e.g.
contamination are treated
differently from the short-term
changes as e.g. a smouldering
fire.

• The self-diagnostics function
detects every deviation from the
accurate normal condition in the
electronics and in the detection
chamber.

• The inter activity function is
using information from one, two
or a larger number of detectors
in the system to provide a more
secure detection of a real fire.

• A family of state of the art
analog detectors gives the c.i.e.
accurate and noise free
information about occurrence of
smoke and/or temperature
changes in the installation.

• Alert annunciation. The output
for the alarm transmitter can be
delayed for immediate on site
investigation of a fire alarm.

• Individual detectors, zones,
programmable outputs and
outputs for the alarm transmitter
can be individually disabled.

• Internally and/or externally
controlled time channels. E.g.
one or more alarm points may
be disabled via a time channel.

• Outputs can be programmed in
a very flexible way enabling
control of sirens, fire doors,

The analog detector types 33xx (left) received
a design award at the 1998 Hanover Exhibition.
The newer analog detector types 43xx (right)
have an even more attractive & slender design.

A large variety of units can be
connected to the four COM loops:

• Analog detectors

• Conventional detectors

• Intrinsically Safe (IS) detectors

• Water proof heat detectors

• Addressable manual call points

• Addressable short circuit iso-

lators

• Addressable I/O units (inputs /
supervised voltage outputs as
well as relay outputs)

• Addressable sirens / sounder
bases

The EL512 fire alarm system has
a set of functions that meets the
most stringent requirements
relating to fire detection, fire
presentation and measures.

• Service signal is given when a
detector is contaminated to a
certain level.

• A large number of alarm
algorithms is supported by the
system and can be set for each

extinguishing systems etc.

• External Fire brigade panels
can be connected to each c.i.e.

• Presentation of the actual
system status in a PC or
Pocket-PC via the Web-server
II connected to an intranet
(LAN) or Internet. Remote
control with encrypted and safe
two-way communication. In
case of fire alarm, service signal
etc. e-mails can be sent to the
adequate personnel. Provides
also one-way communication to
an external computer system.

• The Web-server II (the HW)
can be used with the OPC512
SW and connected to a PC with
Panasonic FP OPC Server SW
for a reliable connection to your
industrial applications (clients).

The TLON Network

Up to 30 nodes (i.e. EBL512 c.i.e:s)
can be connected to a TLON
Network. One of the nodes can be
an external PC with a software
driver for a Security Management
system, which gives full control of
and access to all data in all
EBL512 connected to the network.

Planning, commissioning and
installation tool Win512

Modern fire alarm systems are very
complex and versatile. In order to
get the optimal performance and
cost effective planning, installation,
commissioning and maintenance of
a system, we provide our
distributors with a powerful tool.
This tool is the Windows based PC
software Win512, which is a
complete support packet for the
EBL512 system. All configurations
and settings for the system are
done in Win512 and downloaded to
the c.i.e. respectively.

Win512 is used when planning an installation.
After the planning, the "site specific data" is
downloaded to the c.i.e. respectively. The data
can also be uploaded from the c.i.e. Win512 is
also used to download new software, etc.
