Larger batteries (up to 65 Ah) have to be placed outside the c.i.e. The batteries and the power supply are connected to the Main board (5010), which handles the charging of the batteries, etc. See the EBL512 G3 Planning Instructions, chapter "Power supply" for more information.

3.2 S/W versions

Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions can be found. When installing a new control unit in a system with "older" control units, you might have to update the S/W in the old control units. The same S/W version is required in all control units.

3.3 Documents

The following documents are available:

 Planning instructions MEW01182  Operating Instructions  Drawings

Normally, information found in one of the documents is not found in another document, i.e. the documents complement each other.

3.4 Applications

The EBL512 G3 system is intended for small, medium and large installations. The intelligent control units offer the system designer and end user a technically sophisticated range of facilities and functions. Programming (PC software WinG3 and TLON Manager) and commissioning of the control unit / system is very easy. Start with one control unit and then later when it is required, add more units. The TLON network makes it possible to install the control units in one building or in many buildings.

3.5 PC S/W

3.5.1 WinG3

WinG3 is used for programming and commissioning of one or more control units:

 create / download / backup (upload) of site specific data (SSD)  download of software / settings / conventions / configurations /

control unit & system properties / etc.

 create / download the user definable text messages (alarm texts)

shown in the display in the C.U. and ext. FBP / Display units.

WinG3 shall have the same (or higher) version number as the EBL512 G3 software version number (e.g. 1.0.x and 1.0.x respectively). Backup require the same version number (in WinG3 and in EBL512 G3). Old SSD files can be opened and saved in a newer (higher) version of WinG3 and thereafter downloaded.

Figure 2. The EBL512 G3 front with display; The Fire Brigade Panel (FBP) is the upper part and the Control Panel (CP) is the lower part. The look might vary according depending on language, country, etc. (A front with texts in English is shown in the figure). See also chapter "LED indicators and push buttons", page 17.

The fire brigade personnel use the FBP to see which alarm point / zone(s) having activated fire alarm and to take required operational control of the system. In the graphical display, the information in the upper part is depending on how many alarm points / zones having generated fire alarm. In the middle part a user definable text message (alarm text) is shown for each alarm point / zone in alarm - if programmed.

The CP is to "communicate" with the system, i.e. for commissioning, monthly tests, maintenance, etc. Access codes for different access levels are required. A keypad is used to get access to the system (a menu tree with main and sub menus) and for different manoeuvres. The CP has several LEDs for system status.

In the Australian front only, below the "P3" button, there is also a "Disable" push button, with which you can "Disable zones in alarm".
