FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS ALARM STRATEGIES 2.0

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document discusses advanced alarm strategies for fire detection systems in commercial buildings, focusing on efficiency, reliability, and adaptability. It introduces the JOB Detectomat system's alarm concepts, designed for secure and convenient alerts.
Specifications: The system provides a continuous alarm signal for at least 30 minutes, adhering to national norms. The alarm strategies are adaptable to specific project needs and structural conditions, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
Alarm Strategies: Various alarm concepts are presented, tailored to different building requirements:
  • Basic Alarm: Uses stub technology for efficient cabling and monitoring by the fire control panel.
  • Smart Alarm: Integrates Loop-controlled alarms with addressable devices, eliminating the need for fire-resistant cables.
  • Comfort Alarms: Employ control modules with power supplies for optimal alarm distribution across fire compartments.
  • Premium Alarms: Feature advanced Loop-controlled signalling devices, supporting up to 126 devices on a Loop, with options for voice alarms and integration with other systems.
Technical Features: The CONUS family of signalling devices includes:
  • Loop-powered sounders with integrated detector bases for easy installation.
  • Capability to connect more devices with the same cable length, reducing costs.
  • Programmable sound and speech signals for tailored alarm scenarios.
Compliance and Standards: The system complies with the Specimen Wiring Systems Directive (MLAR), ensuring minimal interruption in case of errors. It requires careful planning and the use of a Loop calculator for optimal configuration.
System Configurator: A software tool is available for planning fire alarm systems, offering automatic and manual configuration with a plausibility check to ensure all necessary components are included.
Conclusion: The document highlights the importance of tailored alarm strategies and the integration of advanced technologies to meet specific building requirements, ensuring efficient and reliable fire detection and alarm systems.
Specifications and Categories: The document outlines the categories of loop elements for MLAR-compliant fire alarm systems, based on device type and number of loop sounders:
  • Category 1: Includes PL 3300 O/T/OT/OTi/OTi Fusion.
  • Category 2: Includes PL 3300 PBD, PL 3300 SBD, PL 3300 MCP, IOM 3311.
  • Category 3: Includes AMD 3311, OMS 3301 MINI, OMS 3301, PL 3300 COBT, TCM 3300.
Devices without separators, such as the PL 32XX series, are not permitted for MLAR mode commissioning.
MLAR Compliance and Restrictions: For MLAR compliance, there are restrictions on the number of loop sounders and device types. For example, using eleven loop sounders allows only devices from categories 2 and 3. No further elements are allowed beyond the specified categories when the maximum number of loop sounders is reached.
Loop Configuration: The document emphasizes calculating the maximum total cable length and the total number of loop devices using a loop calculator/configurator. The maximum cable length is 300 meters, and the maximum number of detectors is 20 per loop segment.

FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS ALARM STRATEGIES 2.0-2

ALARM STRATEGIES TO FIT IN EVERY SITE A former factory now as a call center: Each alarm concept hat to meet the actual conditions of the building. A general non specific solution does not exist. Alarms in commercial buildings must be especially efficient and economical useful. Planners, installers and operators expect alarming strategies, with which they can react individually to structural requirements. The base for a relaible alarm is a long-lasting, uninterrupted and distinct signal for a sufficient time. To support this base, many national rules and norms require an alarm signal interruption...

BASIC ALARM SMART ALARM The proven stub technology offers signifi cant advantages: For further optimization of the cabelling, it is possible, to use a second pair of wires in the same cable for the alarm lines. • The signalling device cables are monitored by the fire control panel • The connection of different signalling devices in high quantities is possible without any problems • The realization of the cabelling is simple and cost-efficient Note: Depending on existing requirements it maybe necessary to use fi re resistant cables and to enhance the fi re control panel (by E30 housing) CONUS...

In buildings with many of fi re compartments, an optimal alarm can be achieved in the individual sections by the distribution of externally supplied energy. This can be achieved via control modules which include a power supply . Advantages of this alarming solution: The Loop-controlled alarm via the signalling device family CONUS is fully performed over the Loop line. In this case the Loop cable is used for the detection and alarm. The technical features and the unique emission characteristics of: • No requirement of fi re restistant cables towards the industrial fi re compartments • No requirement...

With the version 3.2 of the fi re detection panel generation of dc3500 JOB Detectomat provides additional features for the Loop-controlled alarm functions inside the system: The further development of the alarming concept that will be used with version 3.3 of the dc3500 is an improved Loop-controlled signalling device. This concept will make it possible to connect up to 126 different devices of the CONUS family on the Loop and to supply them with energy. • Additional to the CONUS Sounder there´s the opportunity to use CONUS optical/acoustical combi signalling devices (up to 30 CONUS sounder,...

CONUS INTELLIGENT SIGNALLING DEVICE The Loop-powered sounder PL 3300 S 1 SE from the CONUS family is part of the JOB Detectomat portfolio. This sounder with isolator replaced now finally his „predecessor“, the Loop sounder LS 3300, which previously was parallely delivered. This new generation of signalling devices is especially comfortable to use in every site. Because of the integrated detector base the detectors of the PL series can be installed quickly and easily on top of the alarm devices, on walls as well as ceilings. With the same cable length can be driven up to 60% more alarm devices...

OPERATION OF FIRE ALARMS detect3004plus IN ACCORDANCE WITH MLAR ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS / ADVICE FOR OPERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH MLAR The Specimen Wiring Systems Directive (MLAR) from 2005 defines, among other things, building regulations for the isolation of wiring systems and is applicable building legislation in almost all federal states. The MLAR also applies for maintaining the functionality of electrical wiring in the event of a fire, and thus also for MLAR compliant fire alarm systems. Start Loop Resulting from this is one of the main requirements for the operation of a fire alarm system...
