'Fault' and 'Intervention Concept' ('IC')
On consideration of 'Intervention Concept', events of the 'Fault' category can be
assigned their own sequence. This sequence may be configured differently and
depends on the 'Manned operation' / 'Unmanned operation' operation mode.
An exemplary sequence after a 'Fault', on consideration of the 'Intervention
Concept', is graphically represented in the following:
'Fault' has occurred
● 'Unmanned operation' operation mode
– Remote transmission for 'Faults' is activated
● 'Manned operation' operation mode
– The remote transmission for 'Faults' is activated unless the 'Fault' is
acknowledged within the delay t1.
1. Read the location of 'Fault' on the display.
2. Go to the location of 'Fault'.
3. Rectify 'Fault'.

2 Faults / Troubleshooting [➙ 27]
6.3 Indicating and scrolling in lists
'Events' and conditions, starting from the ↑ floor repeater display's ↑ visibility, are
indicated in lists.
Generally the list with the '
Events
' of the highest priority is automatically displayed
on the floor repeater display.
For example the alarm list is automatically displayed when 'Isolations', 'Faults'
and an 'ALARM' have occurred.
If a list contains several 'Events', you may scroll to the next list item by means of
the navigation buttons. The next 'Event' is highlighted.
When the '
ALARM
' event list is open, the <

7 Alarm verification concept (AVC)
The ↑ 'Alarm Verification Concept' serves the purpose of delayed alarm
transmission and takes into account the interaction of the operating personnel in
the alarming sequence.
Operating personnel are able to examine the indicated fire location in the event of
a fire alarm. In the event of a ↑ false alarm or minor incident the intervention of the
fire brigade can be avoided.
Information flow of 'ALARM' and ↑ 'Pre-ALARM'
D ↑ 'Detection tree' AL 'Pre-ALARM'/'ALARM'
AVC ↑ Alarm verification concept GS Danger levels
1 'Area'
The 'Area' receives 'Pre-ALARMS' or 'ALARMS' from 'Zones'. Alarm verification
takes place at 'Area' level.
Configuration for 'Pre-ALARMS' and 'ALARMS' is not related within 'AVC'. The type
of verification and alarming can be separately configured for the 'Manned
operation' and 'Unmanned operation' operation modes.
'ALARMS' of 'Manual zones' and 'Automatic zones' 'Zones' as well as 'Degraded
FIRE ALARM' can be configured differently.
A
maximum of one '

7.1 Attendance check
Should an event ('Pre-ALARM', 'ALARM') arise, the operating personnel may
acknowledge presence within the time t1. After acknowledgement, the investigation
time t2 starts. If presence is not acknowledged within the given time t1, ↑ global
alarming is activated.
7.2 Investigation time
During the investigation time t2 the operating personnel may examine the indicated
source of alarm and check the cause of the 'ALARM':
● Or is it a real fire (emergency)?
● Is it a smoldering waste-paper basket (minor incident)?
● Has the ↑ site detected a deceptive phenomenon (false alarm)?
In the event of a major incident (emergency), the nearest 'Manual call points' or
<Alarm delay off> must be pressed. ''Immediate global alarming'' is then triggered.
In the case of a ↑ minor incident or ↑ false alarm the operator may reset the
'ALARM' and cancel alarming.
If the '
ALARM
' is not reset within the given time t2, '
Immediate global alarming
' is
activated.
7.3 Example of a verification process
Alarm verification proceeds as follows:
● An alarm event activates ↑ local alarming and starts the time t1 for attendance
check.
● Operating personnel acknowledge 'ALARM' on the operating terminal prior to
the expiry of t1. Acknowledging normally silences local alarming (configurable
feature).
If there is no acknowledgment, ↑ global alarming is activated after the expiry of t1.
● After acknowledgement, the investigation time t2 starts. During time t2
operating personnel investigate the fire location.
– In the case of a minor incident the operator resets the 'ALARM' at the
nearest operating terminal. The alarming process stops, and no ↑ global
alarming is activated.
– In the event of a fire, the nearest 'Manual call points' or <Alarm delay off>
must be pressed. 'Immediate global alarming' is triggered.
If there is no reset, 'Immediate global alarming' is also activated after the expiry of
t2.

7.4 Fire alarming
Alarming is controlled at 'Area' level. During alarming the ↑ alarming equipment is
activated, e.g., ↑ alarm devices and remote transmission devices.
↑ Alarm devices
For ↑ local and ↑ global alarming, acoustic alarm devices, beacons, digital outputs,
etc., can be used. The tone of the alarm devices can be configured differently for
local and global alarming (the alarm devices must be suitable for this).
Remote transmission
The alarm message is transmitted to an intervention station. In the case of local
alarming, this is usually the company fire brigade and for global alarm usually the
state fire brigade. A remote transmission device must be used to transmit alarm
messages via the public telephone network.
