The operating states “manned” and “unmanned” are defined in a SPECIAL Alarm Concept,
where signals from automatic fire detectors and manual call points are processed differently (for
details page 16).
The switchover from the operating states “manned” to “unmanned” and vice versa is either done
manually by the operating personnel or automatically as programmed by the service engineer.
Operating state “manned”
The operating person, responsible for the surveillance of the system and the alarm investiga-
tion, is present on the premises.
The LED in the display field Premises manned is on.
The LED in the display field Isolation is on (depends on system configuration).
Operating state “unmanned”
The responsible operating person is not present on the premises.
The LED in the display field Premises manned is off.

The automatic switchover is used for example, to prevent the system status “manned” during
nighttime when no operating personnel is present: The system switches automatically to status
“unmanned” at a defined time (e. g. after the office hours). The same scheme can be used for
unattended times during weekends or holidays. The automatic switchover scheme is defined by
the service engineer. No user action is required.
Automatic switchover from “manned” to “unmanned”: at p.m.
Automatic switchover from “unmanned” to “manned”: at a.m.

SPECIAL Alarm Concept
Purpose and principle
To prevent the unnecessary turn out of the fire department for minor incidents a SPECIAL Alarm
Concept was developed.
It involves operating personnel in the alarming sequence and relies on two operating states:
“unmanned” mode while the operating personnel is not present on the premises.
“manned” mode while the operating personnel is present on the premises.
“unmanned” mode
When the system operates in “unmanned” mode, the fire brigade is called immediately when an
alarm signal is issued.
“manned” mode
When the system operates in “manned” mode, manual call points and automatic detectors trigger different actions in the event of an alarm:
Event
Manual call point is actuated The fire brigade is summoned immediately.
Automatic fire detector responds The fire brigade is summoned only after a preprogrammed

2. Read the alarm locations on the text display.
3. Go to these locations immediately.
4. Decide at the face whether this is an emergency or a minor
incident.

The system checks whether someone acknowledges the alarm message within this prepro-
grammed time.
An alarm must be acknowledged before V1 expires, otherwise the alarm is transmitted to the
fire department.
The remaining time is indicated on the text dis-
play in minutes and seconds.

Alarm
Principle
An alarm is issued by the system if an automatic detector has responded or a manual call point
was actuated.
The alarm is indicated by:
optical signals
− blinking of the red LED alarm bar on the control console
− alarm message on the text display
acoustic signals
− buzzer of the control console
− attached signal horns
As described in the SPECIAL Alarm Concept, the operating personnel is involved into the alarm
scheme only if the system is in “manned” mode. In all other cases, i. e. SPECIAL Alarm Concept
is not activated (used) or the system operates in “unmanned” mode, the alarm is transmitted
immediately to the fire brigade.
During alarm other states such as faults etc. are not shown at the display. However, it is
i
possible to make them visible via the menu “Info polling” (For details page 49).

How are alarm messages shown on the text display?
A single alarm message on the text display
consists of 2 lines as shown in the example to
the right.The first line tells that the alarm was
given in zone 5 by the element 1 of this zone,
which was an automatic fire detector. The
numbers at the end of the line tell, that this is
the first of in total 3 alarm messages. The second line gives the explicit location of the responding detector.
The 3. and the 4. line hold the same information for the last alarm message issued. In this case a
manual call point was actuated in zone 3 of the building, which is located in the ground floor main
entrance.

Temporary isolation of a detector zone
What is a detector zone?
The detectors and manual call points of the fire detection system are grouped into zones, which
are defined according to geographical aspects of the building. Zones may be all self-contained
areas of a building, for example
single rooms
adjacent rooms (no doors between the rooms)
corridors
staircases
Room 101
Zone 1
Corridor
Zone 5
element 1,2,3
Room 104
Zone 4
element 1,2
Room 102
Zone 2
In that way, a zone represents a “room address”. Each zone contains one or more automatic fire
detector devices or manual call points.
Assignment of zones to building areas
For each zone a descriptive user text (e. g. room designation and floor no.) is defined in the system. Only in case of an alarm, this text is displayed on the text display together with the zone
and device number of the responding detector.
It is recommended to prepare a list holding the assignment of zone numbers to actual rooms
i
and building-areas.
When has a detector zone to be isolated?
In exceptional situations zones have to be isolated from the system, to prevent unintended
alarm. An exceptional situation depends on the kind of the detector and exists for zones with:
smoke detectors, if smoke or dust is produced by unusual work
heat detectors, if heat or steam is produced by unusual work
manual call points, if there is a possibility of inadvertent activation
WARNING
A zone that has been isolated cannot trigger any danger or fault messages! As soon as
conditions have returned to normal, isolated zones have immediately to be enabled again!

Temporary isolation of a single detector
When has a single detector to be isolated?
Exceptional situations may occur, where it is preferable to isolate only single detector devices
instead of the whole detector zone. Such situations may be for example:
Construction work with smoke or heat development at a particular location within a large
zone with a lot of detectors
Malfunction of a detector in a zone with several detector devices
WARNING
A detector device that has been isolated cannot trigger any danger or fault messages! As
soon as conditions have returned to normal, isolated detector devices have immediately to
be switched on again!
If a single detector should be isolated the detector has to be identified clearly! If the detector
i

cannot be identified clearly, the whole detector zone should be isolated. A wrong isolation of
a detector can cause an unwelcome call of the fire brigade!

What is “remote transmission”?
When has the remote transmission to be disabled?
Fault transmission provided: No Yes Alarm to:
The remote transmission facility establishes a transmission path to the fire department in the
event of a fire alarm issued by the fire detection system. Depending on the alarm concept, the
alarm is transmitted immediately to the fire department, or after a certain delay, giving time for
investigation by operating personnel.
In single cases a separate transmission path for fault messages is established.
Under normal conditions the remote alarm transmission facility is enabled to ensure minimal
alarming times. The remote transmission facility is disabled only in special cases to prevent unnecessary turn out of the fire brigade. The transmission facility should be disabled for:
Test of the fire detection system
Maintenance and conversion works on the fire detection system
WARNING
When the remote alarm transmission is disabled, no automatic alarm is transmitted to the
fire department! Operating personnel must be on the premises to investigate immediately
the location in case of an alarm and to alarm the fire department in case of fire!

Detector test
Purpose and Principle
For function tests of the automatic fire detectors and the manual call points, zones of the fire
detection system are set into the “detector test mode”. In the detector test mode a responding
detector or manual call point triggers only a test alarm.
This allows individual on−site function tests, where automatic fire detectors deliberately are triggered by means of special detector test equipement.
Manual call points are triggered either with a special test key or by opening the cover and actuating the button.
Test alarm
A test alarm generates no danger message on the control console. Acoustic alarm devices, the
remote alarm transmission or any other control functions are not activated.
A test alarm is indicated on the text display of the control console as test−ALARM ZONE #. It is
recorded in the event memory and automatically logged, if a printer is connected.
Frequency
Visual control of detectors and manual call points: Once a year.
Testing of all detectors and manual call points: Once every two years.
i
Differing national or local regulations always have priority!
Recommendations for function tests
Perform the function tests periodically. The frequency of function tests is determined by the
service engineer.
Switch only the fire detectors of a few zones at a time to detector test mode, never the entire
building.
For manual call points the function test needs to be performed only according to a sampling
plan, designed by the service engineer.
Test automatic fire detectors and manual call points separately. Never switch them to detec-
tor test mode simultaneously.
WARNING
A zone in detector test mode cannot trigger any danger or fault messages!
After completion of the test work immediatly set the fire detection system back to normal
operation!
Set only a few zones at a time to detector test mode, never all zones at the same time!

Functional testing of automatic AlgoRex-detectors
Required equipement
There are basically two kinds of automatic fire detectors: heat detectors and smoke detectors.
For heat detectors the detector tester RE6T is required, which simulates the temperatur rise with
a hot air blower.
Smoke detectors exist also as the variation multisensor smoke detector. Both are tested with the
detector tester RE6, which also can be used as tool for the detector exchange. Smoke is detec-
ted by its light scattering, which is optically simulated by the detector tester RE6.
Identification of detectors
Smoke detectors, multisensor smoke detectors and heat detectors can be identified by their
housing, see illustration.
"
If the tested detector did not respond, exchange the detector unit.

Battery load test
Purpose and principle
Battery load test procedure
In case of mains interruption the power supply of the fire detection system relies on an internal
battery pack. The capacity of the battery pack is sufficent to keep the system for a couple of
hours operating (page 32, Faults). As the lifetime of batteries is limited, a battery load test has
to be performed periodically to ensure a good condition of the battery pack: For 10 seconds the
battery is highly loaded and the battery voltage is monitored. If the voltage drop is beyond a certain value, the battery pack has to be replaced.
Frequency
The batterie test is automatically performed by the system every 24 hours. If the battery is damaged, or provides only an insufficent capacity, a fault messages is displayed.
Once a year the battery test has to be performed manually.
