Each control panel contains the following 'Areas':
'Detection area'
'Detection area' is the uppermost element in the 'Detection tree'. Several 'Station'
are possible per 'Detection area':
● FC722, FC724: Max. 4
● FC726: Max. 8
The 'Detection area' has an alarm verification concept (AVC) and can be
configured and assigned to the controls independently of other areas.
'Station area'
'Station area' occurs just once and unites the alarm verification (AVC) functionality
for hardware-related elements which are not in the 'Detection area'. This includes
e.g collective line alarms and degraded mode operation. The 'Station area' can be
displayed and navigated just like any other 'Detection area'. It has no child
elements and is identical to the 'Detection area' in terms of alarm verification.
The 'Alarm Verification Concept' (AVC) serves the purpose of delayed alarm
transmission and takes into account the interaction of the operating personnel in
the alarming sequence.
In the event of a fire, a ↑ local alarm is triggered. The operating staff have a certain
amount of time to investigate the location given for the fire. In case of a ↑ false
alarm or ↑minor incident, the intervention of the fire brigade (↑ global alarm) can
be avoided in good time.
You will find a detailed description of the 'Alarm Verification Concept' in document
A6V10210355. See chapter 'Applicable documents'.
You can configure one 'Alarm Verification Concept' each for various event
categories, e.g., for ' --All Fire ALARMS' or 'All Pre-ALARMS'.
