The demands on fire alarm systems are increasing. The system must have
the highest possible alert during the normal daily activities, i.e. the most
important task for a fire alarm system is an early detection of a fire in order to
save life and property in different environments. Difficult detected fires, such
as glowing or smouldering fires, have to be quickly and effectively detected.
On the other hand, you also want to reduce the nuisance alarms to a
minimum, i.e. the system has to have a high sensitivity and a low sensitivity
"at the same time".
The system is also exposed to an increasing number of interferences such as
mobile telephones and disturbances from the surrounding environment.
All these demands require an intelligent system, i.e. both the c.i.e. and the
detectors have to be intelligent.
General
EBL512 is an analog addressable
fire alarm system.
EBL512 fulfils the EN54 standards:
EN54 part 2 (Control and Indicating
Equipment) and EN54 part 4
(Power Supply).
The c.i.e. can, on four COM loops,
handle up to 512 input and/or
output units, i.e. detectors, manual
call points, general in and output
units for free programmable user
definable functions, etc. Each loop
unit uses one address.
Conventional detectors can also be
used in the system.
Control and Indication Equipment EBL512
EBL512 can work as a standalone
unit or in a TLON-network with up
to 30 units.
Every c.i.e. has access to all the
information from the other units in
the same network. The total
number of addresses in a system is
accordingly more than 15.000!
EBL512 - a unique concept for
early and safe detection without
any nuisance alarms
EBL512 is a new generation of fire
alarm systems with a unique
functionality and many built-in
functions. Advanced alarm
algorithms, compensation for
contamination, self-diagnostics and
inter activity makes the system
suitable for almost any premises.
•
Each analog detector in the
system is individually super-
vised and the sensitivity of each
analog detector is constant, in
spite of any contamination or
background particles. Also the
long-term changes as e.g.
contamination are treated
differently from the short-term
changes as e.g. a smouldering
fire.
•
The self-diagnostics function
detects every deviation from the
accurate normal condition in the
electronics and in the detection
chamber.
