There are no user serviceable parts inside the ProPointPlus. A competent person trained to
undertake such work MUST carry out any internal maintenance work. A separate installation
and commissioning manual is available.
This equipment has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all
applicable EU council directives and regulations.
Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices,
you should use the return and collection systems put in place in the country concerned.
The policy of Protec Fire Detection plc is one of continuous improvement. As such we reserve the right to
make changes to product specifications at any time and without prior notice. Errors and omissions excepted.

1.0 Scope of document
This document details the user information for the Protec ProPointPlus Aspirating Smoke Detector with
specific attention to the basic system operations of the product. The Protec ProPointPlus Aspirating Smoke
Detector has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and complies fully with current
standard dictating aspirating smoke detector design practice (EN54 parts 20).
2.0 User Responsibilities
The registered owner of the fire alarm system has specific responsibilities regarding the installation, testing
and maintenance of the fire alarm system.
BS5839 Pt 1: 2013 Section 7 states that the user of the fire alarm system must appoint a single named
person to supervise all matters regarding the fire alarm system.
Summarised below are the responsibilities expected of the named person,
It is strongly advised that a full copy of BS5839 Pt 1: 2013 is obtained and
thoroughly read and understood.
3.0 Introduction
Aspirating detection is now a recognised solution for many different fire detection applications. ProPointPlus
provides up to four separate detectors within a common aspirator enclosure and therefore provides four
individually identifiable areas of detection per aspirator.
Each of the four plug in Scatter Camber Detectors (SCD’s) detector use independent and integrated alarm
decision making. Complex algorithms are used to extend the range of particle detection, confirm genuine
alarms and reduce unwanted alarms.
Installation, configuration and commissioning of the ProPointPlus detectors is very simple and installer
friendly. Configuration to either Class A, Class B or Class C sensitivity options is achieved through a multifunction OLED display without the need for a PC connection.
The features of the ProPointPlus are:
High performance optical detection with
optional enhanced CO detection.
1 to 4 individual detectors.
Protec 6000 series digital addressable
protocol.
Simple sensitivity configuration setup:
Class A, Class B, Class C and Prison.
On-board loop isolator.
Common Fault output contact.
5 Programmable output contacts.
3 Programmable input contacts.
Airflow monitoring per pipe.
Variable blower speed control.
Integral OLED display for fault reporting and
ease of setup.
Commissioning menu access code protected.
Support multiple language menu functions.
TCP/IP Network configurable.

4.0 ProPointPlus – General Overview
The ProPointPlus detector is capable of displaying all faults and fire events on the OLED screen. The
detector is fitted with an internal buzzer. The buzzer will sound distinctive pulse tones when the unit is in
Fault, Pre-alarm or Fire (providing the buzzer is enabled at commissioning). The buzzer can be muted by
pressing any button. LED indicators are programmed to illuminate corresponding to a specific event.
The button functions are to navigate thought the commissioning menu and are therefore not a requirement
for the user.

4.2 Fault
The ProPointPlus displays all faults on the OLED display. Providing no pre-alarms or fires are active the
text ‘Fault’ or ‘Faults’ will be displayed; including the number of faults indicated in front of the text. A brief
description of the device fault is displayed in the centre of the display. When more than one faults is
reported; the faults are automatically scrolled though each fault on the display. The fault LED will be
illuminated.
If the fault is pipe specific; the pipe number is displayed in brackets next to the fault for example below
shows ‘(1) Airflow Fault’ describes an airflow fault on pipe 1.
Figure 4.2 ProPointPlus displaying a fault condition
Refer to section 4.1 which lists all fault including a description and action.
Muting the buzzer
The buzzer can be muted by pressing any button.

4.3 Pre-alarm
The Pre-alarm condition takes priority over faults. When a pre-alarm condition is activated the display
shows all pipes commissioned (1, 2, 3 or 4). The Pre-alarm text is represented as ‘Warning’. The figure 3.2
below shows 4 pipes; where Pipe 1 and Pipe 2 are in Pre-Alarm condition: ‘Warning’, Pipe 3 and Pipe 4 are
in ‘Normal’ condition. The Pre-Alarm LED is illuminated, any commissioned outputs will activate and the fire
condition is reported to the Protec Fire panel.
Figure 4.3 ProPointPlus displaying Pre-Alarm condition
The appointed ‘Responsible Person’ should investigate the relevant area following the official
procedures for the building. Extreme care must be exercised at all times.
Muting the buzzer
The buzzer can be muted by pressing any button.

4.4 Fire
The Fire condition is prioritised over Pre-Alarm and faults. When a fire condition is activated the display
shows all pipes commissioned (1, 2, 3 or 4). The fire text is represented as ‘Fire’. The example picture
below shows 4 pipes; where Pipe 2 are in Fire condition, Pipe 1, Pipe 3 and Pipe 4 are in ‘Normal’
condition. The Fire LED is illuminated, any commissioned outputs will activate and the fire condition is
reported to the Protec Fire panel.

The building fire plan must be executed immediately.
Muting the buzzer
The buzzer can be muted by pressing any button.

5.0 Faults
The ProPointPlus monitors various aspects of the unit to ensure the unit is fully operational. During faults the
fault LED will illuminate and the buzzer will sound a slow pulse tone. Listed below are the diagnosed faults
indicated on the unit.
