Protection concept 4 Protection concept The aim of the protection concept for surge voltage and lightning is to take appropriate measures to prevent damage to buildings and equipment. Surge voltages are for example caused by the following events: ● Switching operations in the power supply unit ●...
Protective zones 5 Protective zones The protective zones are areas nested inside one another. Surge voltages are reduced at the transition between protective zones. Appropriate reduction measures: ● External lightning measures ● Room shielding and building shielding using steel reinforcement ●...

Protective measures Primary protection (G) 6 Protective measures Protective devices which reduce the surge voltages are used for voltage surge protection. These are split into primary, intermediate and fine protection. Combined protective devices are possible. Measures for fire detector lines: Fire detector lines must also be equipped with primary and intermediate protection in the following cases: ●...
Protective measures Intermediate protection (M) 6.2 Intermediate protection (M) Intermediate protection reduces the residual energy of lightning effects or switching actions. Sufficient decoupling from primary protection and fine protection is needed. Application: ● At transitions between protective zone 0/E and protective zone 1 ●...
Fire control panel power supply terminals 7 Interface types The table below lists all external interfaces of the FS20/FS720 fire detection system per component and assigns them to different interface types. The 'Protective elements' chapter assigns the appropriate protective elements to the interface types.

Protection categories 8 Protection categories The protection categories are defined according to the EN 62305 standard. A risk assessment is undertaken to determine which protection requirements are to be satisfied and in what time period tests should be undertaken. Safe distance A safe distance is defined for each protection category.
Protection elements 9 Protection elements Please note the following criteria for selecting suitable protection elements: ● Requirements from the protection concept ● Protection class ● Interface type Various manufacturers provide suitable protection elements. The following tables present suitable protection elements produced by the manufacturer DEHN: Protection category I protection element (manufacturer DEHN) Type Kind...
