An analog detector can activate a heavy smoke / heat alarm for a higher alarm level than the normal fire alarm level, i.e. a normal fire alarm is already activated by a detector activating a heavy smoke / heat alarm. See EBL512 G3 Planning Instructions for the system.
The AA alarm has to be acknowledged within an acknowledge time and reset within an investigation time, otherwise the out- put(s) for routing equipment (fire brigade tx) will be activated. See EBL512 G3 Planning Instructions for more information regarding the AA function.
18.1.5. KEY CABINET ALARM The fire brigade uses a key cabinet to store a key to the building. One programmable input per c.i.e. can be used to connect a key cabinet. A key cabinet alarm is like a normal fire alarm, i.e. outputs with trigger condition "General fire alarm" will be activated as well as outputs with trigger condition "Activated key cabinet"...

20. FAULT All faults are delayed in order not to generate any unnecessarily faults, for example. for COM loop and zone line input faults the delay time is approx. 45 seconds. Some units may also have an internal delay time, which makes the delay time even longer, for example the Multipurpose I/O unit 4461 has an internal delay time of 30 seconds, which results in 45+30=75 seconds delay time in total.

(Since there is voltage on the loop, short circuit isolators will work normally.) It is recommended to do this check also when EBL512 G3 is power supplied via the backup battery only, since the battery voltage can be different (compared with the rectifier voltage) due to the battery condition, backup duration, etc.

34.5. SAFE SHUT DOWN OF CONTROL UNIT (H8/S5) It's recommended to do a safe shut down of control unit before you power off a control unit, which means disconnecting it from 230 V AC and battery. Safe shut down will save the SSW in a Flash ROM and put the CPUs at rest. If safe shut down is not done, it might also generate a fault when you power up the control unit again: FAULT: Read/write site data (SSW), control unit xx").
EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 34.5.1. AFTER RESTART After a restart, see chapter on page 82, there will always be two restart faults. The code will be 00 / 50 after Power 25. RESTART off / Power on restart and 03 / 53 after a countdown restart. Address 0. This fault must be acknowledged, see chapter 32.
34.6. ACTIVATE ADDRESS IN ALARM MODE (H8/S6) One alarm point (zone-address), not a whole zone, can be set in alarm. It will be presented as a fire alarm, the built-in LED in the alarm point (for example a detector) will be turned on and all outputs, standard and programmable, which would have been activat- ed by a normal fire alarm from the same alarm point will be activated.
EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 34.7. SYNCHRONIZE THE CONTROL UNITS (H8/S7) After any control unit restart, synchronization will start automatically. Synchronization can also be started via EBLWin and via this menu (H8/S7). The control units must be synchronized when the following fault message is shown: FAULT: Control unit xx has wrong information.
34.8. ACTIVATE / RESET OUTPUTS (H8/S8) Via this menu, a loop unit output, control unit output and expansion board output can be activated and reset. Any output can be activated, which means the function can be tested. (Can also be done via EBLWin.) This is including Addressable siren 4477, Addressable sounder base 3379 / 4479, wireless detector 4611, light indicator 4383, and all alarm devices 4480, 4481, 4482, 4487.

35.2. ACTIVATE / DEACTIVATE INTERLOCKING OUTPUT (H9/C2) The output in each interlocking combination (area / point) can be manually activated via this menu. The corresponding interlocking input will be "monitored" in the same way as if the output was activated by its control expression. The output in each interlocking combination (area / point) can be manually deactivated via this menu.
EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 35.3. DISABLE / RE-ENABLE INTERLOCKING OUTPUT (H9/C3) Interlocking outputs (Type = Interlocking) can be individually disabled via this menu (and collectively via menu H2/B3). The "In- terlocking Combination" (Area / Point) is to be entered to disable the output. Up to 100 interlocking outputs can be disabled in the whole system.
36. CHANGE PASSWORD (H10) A password changed via menu H10 (+ H8/S5) will be valid until it is changed via menu H10 again or it is erased via EBLWin (menu Tools / Reset user passwords. a) Log on to the c.i.e. b) Navigate to menu H10.
EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 38. REPLACING TLON BOARD AND MAIN BOARD By the TLON network programming, some unique data will be stored in a memory on the 5090 TLON connection board and some will be stored in a memory on the main board.
39. BATTERY MAINTENANCE The batteries - 2 x 12 V, 28 Ah (for example Panasonic LC-P1228AP) – are placed inside the control unit. Larger batteries (≤ 65 Ah) must be placed outside the control unit, in a separate battery cabinet.
EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 40. HOW TO AVOID NUISANCE FIRE ALARMS We all realise, when life, buildings, production facilities, etc. shall be saved, it is of utmost importance that an initial fire is detected as soon as possible.
Page 132
LACK OF MAINTENANCE Smoke detectors (sensors) are influenced by their environment and become "dirty". In an analog system (like EBL512 G3) a Service signal is given when it is time to exchange the smoke detectors (sensors) to new ones. The alternative is to exchange detectors at given periods, to be on the safe side.
41. RADIOACTIVE RADIATION SOURCE Today, Panasonic have no ionization smoke point detectors but old detectors connected to the EBL512 G3 installation might be smoke sensors / detectors of the ionization type. They contain a small radioactive radiation source, normally Americium 241.
