1 General System Description

It is assumed that the 8000C fire alarm control panel and the associated system equipment havebeen installed in accordance with the manufacturer instructions and guidance given inBS5839 Part 1.

The System 8000C is suitable for installation in commercial and industrial facilities. The modulardesign of products allows the fire detection and alarm system to be expanded to meet futurecustomer needs. The application of intelligent fire detectors connect to the panels’ analog loopprovide an early and reliable warning of fire.

An analog loop can have up to 127 devices and each device can be assigned to up to 127 zones,with an overall loop cable length of up to one kilometre. An analog loop is a two-wire circuit that ismonitored at both ends. The 8000C fire alarm control panel automatically registers the wiring of theloop and determines the logical addresses of the individual devices on the analog loop.

A range of devices can be connected to an analog loop circuit, such as fire detectors, technicalalarm modules (TAL) and transponders. The transponders are loop devices with programmableinputs and outputs, for activating and monitoring external equipment such as display panels, alarmdevices, door closer unit and other equipment.

The network module allows up to 31 fire alarm control panels (8000C) to be connected in anetwork. At any fire alarm control panel in the network it is possible to view indications of fireevents of the entire networked system and operate essential controls under emergency conditionsand operate other control functions, such as disablement of zone. Events such as fire, fault,disablement and others events are transmitted to all fire alarm control panels in the network.

These Operating Instructions are intended to aid users of the 8000C fire alarm control panel andshould be read in conjunction with the instructions provided by your specialised installer. All thedocumentation associated with the fire alarm system should be kept together near the fire alarmcontrol panel. If you have any questions, please consult your specialised installer.

The operation of the fire alarm control panel may only be carried out by authorised and trainedpersons observing safety precautions and, if necessary, in collaboration with the otherorganisations (e.g. fire department).

General system description


1.1 User Responsibility

It is recommended that the persons responsible for the fire alarm system should become familiarwith:

how to operate the controls.

and interpret the indications given.

DailyBS 5839:Part 1:1988, states that the system should be inspected daily to ensurethat a normal indication is given at the control and indicating equipment and:

that any previously indicated fault and disablement condition has received appropriateattention.

all the system events are entered into the Log Book for future reference.

that the use of the area(s) inspected has not changed since the system was designed.

and no unsafe practices that could lead to fire are being undertaken.

Weekly A different Fire detector or Manual Call Point of the system should be tested to ensure the

system is capable of operating under alarm condition.

The operation of the alarm sounders should be checked to also remind those occupying thepremises that there is a fire alarm system with a particular sound.

The test should be performed at a regular time to avoid confusion between a test and agenuine fire alarm.

Quarterly

At quarterly intervals the system should be inspected and a trained maintenance engineershould carry out any work necessary.

Contact your servicing organisation for help with service and maintenance work.

5 Service Level

The service level allows the authorised user to switch off individual loop devices and completeloops of a local fire alarm system. These functions can also be performed on the panels in anetworked system.

Fig. 41: Service menu option in the status level (cdm356)

Fig. 42: Display of the service options (cdm357)

The following functions can be carried out using the service options of the fire alarm control panel,without having to enter an authorisation code:

Analog loop functions (see Section 5.1.1)

Sensor function (loop) (see Section 5.1.2)

Sensor function (zone/detector) (see Section 5.1.3)

Scroll to the desired function or enter the number of the desired function and then select the `Enter’option.

The service level is protected from unauthorised access by means of an access code. Anyoperation of the fire alarm control panel may only be carried out by authorised and trained persons,observing safety precautions and, if necessary, in co-operation with the emergency services (e.g.fire department).

Operation


5.1.1 Analog loop functionsUsing this function the subassemblies of the fire alarm control panel, including the analog loopswith its connected zones and loop devices can be Enabled/Reset or Disabled using the keyboard.The Loop State is indicated on the panel’s display.

Fig. 43: Entering the analog loop number (cdm358)

Analog loop refers to:

all analog loop modules installed in the fire alarm control panel(including the analogue loop circuit with all associated its devices)

all 4-zone-modules included in the fire alarm control panel(including all zones and devices connected to this module)

certain modules such as relays or the interface on the basic/peripheral module

Definition of Analog Loop identification numberThe loop identification number for a 8000C Panel will be as follows: Where the Analog loop module in fitted in the slot of the Field device module,

this is Loop 121.

The loop number is derived from the individual subassemblies of the 8000C fire alarm controlpanel. The subassemblies can be switched on/off using the internal analog (primary) loopnumber, which is entered on the panel keyboard and is also programmed with the customer dataeditor. This internal primary loop number is composed of the panel number, the slot and thesubassembly number.

Operation


Enable (reset) or disable an Analog loop

Enter the number of the Sub-assembly analog loop number which is to be enabled (reset andpress the Enter function key

Enter the desired number (1 = Enable/reset, 2 = Disable) or make a selection using the buttonsand press the Enter function key

In case of an input error, pressing the Zone key can erase the display and the sub-assemblynumber can be re-entered.

! When a Sub-assembly, such as 4-zone module or an analog loop module is disabled, allzones and fire devices connected to the module are disabled. Disabled fire devices andcall points will not activate an alarm in the event of a fire. The equipment connected tooutputs, such as alarm devices, will not be activated in the event a fire.

Operation


5.1.2 Sensor functions (loop)This function allows sensing elements of the multi-sensor fire device on a loop to be switched off(disabled). For example it is possible to switch off (disable) all O sensing element(Optical = photoelectric sensor) or all I sensing element (I = ionisation smoke sensors) or in OHImulti-sensor fire devices the OI sensing element installed on an analog loop.

Disabling sensing elements is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire devices. Thesesensing elements are only fitted on two or three different type of sensors.

If all the OI sensing elements are required to be switched off (disabled) on the loop then select 2.OI – Sensor off. For OHI multi-sensor detectors on a loop the OI sensing elements are switched off(disabled). The third element remains active, which is the heat sensor element. Disabling the heat-sensing element (H sensors) is not possible.

Fig. 44: Sensor functions related to analog loop (cdm359)

O detector Optical fire detector with a smoke sensing element (optical sensor)

T detector Heat detector with a heat sensing element (thermal sensor)

I detector Ionisation smoke sensing element (Ionisation sensor)

OT detector Multi-sensor fire detectors with two sensing elements(OT= Optical and thermal sensor)

OTI detector Multi-sensor fire detectors with three sensing elements(OTI= Optical-, Thermal- and ionisation sensors)

Switching off sensors is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire detectors. If multi-sensor fire detectors and standard detectors (detectors with a single sensor) are installedtogether in an analog loop, only the sensor in multi-sensor detectors are switched off.

Operation


Example to switch off (disable) sensors on analog loop

Press key "2" to select the `Sensor function (loop)’ or use the scroll keys to highlight and enterthe selection.

Enter the analog loop number on which the sensors are required to be switched.

Enter the number of the desired function (1 = O sensor off, 2 = OI sensor off, 3 = I sensor off, 4= all sensors on) or make the selection using the scroll keys and press Enter key.

The switching off (disabling) of sensors is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor firedetectors. Note only the selected sensing element is switched off (disabled).

Switching on/off not permitted

The switching on/off of the detector sensing elements on an analog loop is indicated on the displayof the fire alarm control panel.

If sensors have already been switched off on an analog loop and there are no further sensors toswitch off, then the display will show a message "Switch on/Disablement not permitted". This will bethe case for example if I sensors have been switched off and there are no I sensors left to switchoff or a zone disablement has been detected.

In an analog loop, it is generally possible to execute a disconnection function, e.g. disabledetectors or call points, when no further lower-order disable functions have been carried out. Thatis when individual detectors within a zone have been disabled, this zone cannot be additionallydisabled, as the disabled functions for this zone has been carried out. However, it is possible toswitch off other zones of this analog loop in which sensors/detectors have not been disabled.

In order to change the existing sensor switching status, all switched off (disabled) detector sensorsmust first be switched on, using the command `All sensors on’. After all detector sensors have beenswitched on, a further switching off (disablement) can be performed.

Operation


5.1.3 Sensor functions (zone/detector)This function allows individual devices or entire zones to be switched off on an analog loop.

By entering the zone and/or detector number(s) and by making the required `switch off’/on’ theappropriate device(s) are switched.

If a zone number is entered (device number = 0) and the desired sensor switch-off is performed onall the multi-sensor detectors in this zone. All sensors must first be switched on in the zone beforedesired sensors can be switched off.(See also above Sensor function loop)

Fig. 45: Sensor function related to zones/detectors (cdm360)

Switching off sensors is only applicable for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire detectors. If multi-sensor fire detectors and single function detectors are installed on an analog loop, then onlythe detectors having multi-sensors are switched off.

If a switch-off has already been performed, e.g. the sensors of a zone have been switchedoff, the zone or the entire analog loop cannot be subsequently switched off. It is possible toswitch off other zones of this analog loop in which detectors or sensors have not beenswitched off.
