Components and replacement parts



Components and replacement parts procured locally must comply with the

technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is ensured in the case

of OEM replacement parts supplied by us.



Use only fuses having the prescribed characteristics.



Incorrect battery types and improper exchange of batteries result in an explosion

hazard. Use only the same battery type or an equivalent type recommended by

us.



Batteries require environmentally appropriate disposal. Bring them to the local

collection centers.



Note that the cylinders containing the extinguishing agent are under pressure

and must be exchanged in accordance with local safety regulations.

Changes to system layout and products

Changes to the system and to individual products may result in faults and incorrect

functioning. Please request from us, from the system installer or from the

respective safety authorities a written authorization for planned changes and

system expansions.

Check serviceability of products



Notify persons in the event of mist and noise.



Notify persons of the testing of the alarm devices and make provisions for

possible panic reactions.



Notify the alarm and fault reception points connected to the system of immanent

test -remote transmission.



When testing the extinguishing system, evacuate the extinguishing area and

block it off.

Electrical installations

DANGER

Work on electrical systems must be carried out in accordance with electro-

technical rules and only by a trained electrical technician or an instructed

person under the management and supervision of an electrical technician.

Work on fittings, on the pipe grid and on devices for supplying extinguishing

agent must be undertaken only by an authorized technician and in compliance

with the technical specifications in force.

DANGER When performing work in areas at risk of explosion, comply with the respective

safety procedures.

Maintenance work

If you perform maintenance yourself, please observe the following points:



If you require assistance, you must use tools that are safe and intended for the

task such as, for example, a ladder.



If you are triggering fire controls for test purposes, there must be no damage

caused to system components.



Avoid unintended triggering of remote transmission.



Before actuating manual release for test purposes, mechanically block the

activation of extinguishing.



Use or require the use of the "General installation instructions" as the guideline

for extinguishing systems. This guideline is available from us on request.

System overview

3 System overview

An extinguishing system consists of the following components:

–

Fire detector for automatic activation of extinguishing.

–

Manual Release button for manual activation of extinguishing.

–

Emergency hold button to temporary stop the extinguishing or abort button to

cancel the initiated extinguishing release as long as activated time is running.

–

Control unit for evaluating, displaying and operating all functions of an

extinguishing area.

–

Alarm horn and illuminated warning panel for on-site alarm notification.

–

Remote transmission facility for transmitting alarms and faults.

–

Control device for closing doors and fire protection flaps and shutting down of

ventilation.

–

Releasing elements for triggering the valves for activation of extinguishing.

–

Devices to report the flooding and the loss of extinguishing agent.

Fig. 1 Structure of the extinguishing system

Extinguishing control unit

The XC1003-A extinguishing control unit is used for displaying, operating and

monitoring the functions of an extinguishing area and its immediate environs.

All detectors, alarm horn, illuminated warning panel, monitoring devices and

controllers are connected to the extinguishing control unit. If a detector triggers an

alarm, it is transmitted to the extinguishing control unit. At the extinguishing control

unit the decision is made how the alarm is to be processed. The same applies to

faults. The processing of alarms and faults is different depending on the

configuration of the system.

System overview

Building Technologies

A6V10099835_a_en

Fire Safety & Security Products 12.2007

Power supply

The extinguishing control unit is connected to the power mains at all times. In the

event of a mains power failure the extinguishing control unit is supplied by built-in

batteries. Battery operation in the event of a mains power failure is for a limited

time.

Fire detector

Several fire detectors are consolidated into a detector zone. Up to 32 fire detectors

can be connected to each detector zone. In the event of fire, the detector zone of

the alarming fire detector is indicated on the extinguishing control unit.

In the basic settings of the extinguishing control unit detector zones 1 and 2 serve

the automatic activation of extinguishing. The extinguishing control unit assesses

the zones in a so-called cross-zoning: in order to activate extinguishing, one fire

detector from each group must trigger an alarm. This principle ensures high

reliability so that extinguishing is not unjustified triggered.

Manual release button

Extinguishing can be manually activated by using a manual release button.

Alarm on site

"Fire alarm" is signaled with an alarm horn. State "Activated" and “Released” are

signaled with an alarm horn and an illuminated warning panel.

Remote transmission

Along with on-site alarm notification, activation of extinguishing and faults can be

transmitted via a remote transmission device to an external receiving station or

passed on to a fire detection system.

Fire protection installations

As a rule, before automatic extinguishing is triggered, building fire protection

installations must be set in the correct position. For example: door holding magnets

are de-energized, fire protection flaps are closed and fans and air-conditioning

systems are turned off.

Activation of extinguishing and monitoring

Valves on the extinguishing agent cylinders are triggered for activation of

extinguishing. The effected activation of extinguishing is reported to the control unit

via a pressure switch located at the cylinder bank. In addition, the weight or the

pressure of the extinguishing agent cylinders are constantly checked using cylinder

scales or manometers that trigger a contact if the value is too low.

Extinguishing blocking

During the activated time an activation of extinguishing already initiated can be

temporarily stopped by pressing the Emergency hold button or canceled by

pressing the Emergency abort button.

The automatic activation of extinguishing can be blocked as a precaution for

maintenance work. In this instance, in the event of fire, it is possible to press the

Manual release button for activation of extinguishing.
