The fi re detection control panel BC216-1 constitutes the basic component of Series BC216 and has been designed for use in small and mid-sized systems. De- pending on its confi guration, it provides the following features:
•The Conventional Detector Interface GIF8-1 permits the connection of automatic detectors and manual call points in conventional technology as well as spe- cial detectors with contact output. Individual detector identifi cation can be achieved by means of an optio- nal address module.
•Detectors and modules in ADM loop technology can be connected to the Loop Interface LIF64-1. Depen- ding on the parameterisation, either the Apollo/Disco- very protocol or the System Sensor/200 protocol is used to achieve bi-directional data transfer.
•The BC216-1 is able to control up to 252 detectors or modules, 144 detector zones, 128 actuations, 10 transmission devices and 99 alarming devices.
•Since the BC216-1 is compatible to LST fi re detec- tion control panels of previous generations, the ex- change or expansion of existing systems in conventi- onal technology or ADM loop technology is possible. The existing detector installation can be used without changes.
•The optional Fire Brigade Interface FWI2-1 serves for the connection of two independent transmitting devices for a direct interconnection to a designated alarm respondent (e.g., the fi re brigade) as well as for the connection of a country-specifi c fi re brigade control unit. By using the Fire Brigade Interface Addi- tional Board FWZ2-1, a line supervision for both of the transmitting devices is accomplished.
•Customizable outputs and logical combinations of detectors and detector zones for the activation of external controls and alarming devices facilitate ma- ximum fl exibility. Thus, no additional expenses arise for external relays, logic gates or timers. Thanks to the wide range of parameterisation possibilities, indi- vidual requirements even under the most diffi cult am- bient conditions can be combined into a reasonable fi re protection strategy.
•By integrating input and output modules on any positi- on in the loop you can realize enablements or disable- ments as well as control tasks in your system without having to care for additional wires.
•The free combination of detectors and modules into logic sectors allows for the joint operation of defi ned parts of the system even beyond loop limits. Up to 199 sectors can be controlled by the BC216-1.
•The use of unshielded loop cables allows for cost- saving and uncomplicated installation as well as for the possibility of reusing the existing cabling.
•The LC text display shows events with the full infor- mation such as fl oor, room identifi cation as well as
date and time. This allows for quick and targeted reaction in the event of a fi re as well as for easy main- tenance.
•An event memory allows for the display of the latest 500 events at any time, including all required informa- tion. Thus, all system conditions and user operations that occurred are documented in a clearly laid out way.
•At a central processing board failure, the diversifi ed redundancy concept ensures secure alarm recogniti- on.
•The processor-monitored power supply ensures per- manent surveillance and charging of the batteries. This way, even during a mains power failure the un- troubled and uninterrupted operation (for more than 72 hours depending on the design) is guaranteed.
•Three hierarchized authorization levels for operation and parameterisation facilitate a high degree of secu- rity against unauthorized access.
•The control panel is easily operated menu-driven via the display and operating fi eld. Clear instructions on the display guide the user during commissioning, operation and maintenance.
•The parameter data can be entered either on the con- trol panel via the display and operating fi eld or via a PC keyboard or, in a more comfortable way, created on a PC by means of the parameter setup software PARSOFT and loaded into the control panel. Thus, a quick and effi cient transfer of the system confi gurati- on into the control panel is guaranteed.
•AUTO setup facilitates parameterisation when the control panel is commissioned or expanded and thus helps to save time.
•After commissioning, the panel‘s basic functions im- mediately make it ready for operation. A monitored siren output and dry relay contacts for alarm and fault are available by default.
The fl at wall mount cabinet allows for an easy mounting in virtually any place of the building. Thanks to its mo- dern, ageless design, architectural requirements and demands of the respective regulations are ideally com- bined. The compact design allows for the accommoda- tion of the function modules, the auxiliary modules and batteries up to 22Ah apart from the central processing board in the standard case. If a higher battery capacity is needed, an auxiliary case of the same design is avai- lable. The BC216-1 thus stands for modularity and easy expansion.
