Description of control pattern

General:
All control facilities in the system can be configured, apart from the FSA control pattern, fire
sector control facility, detector diagram and event diagram.
This means that in control and indicating panels networked using SIGMANET signals from
different control and indicating panels, an output can be set in any control and indicating
panel.
In PLAN D100 under "Organization", "Set MG types" on the "Controls" tab of the detector
zone, you can choose whether the ÜE, AL, RAL, ST outputs should be controlled by day, by
night and also when the control and indicating panel is opened.
You can specify whether a control facility can be disabled using the fire brigade operating
panel "Disable fire control" key for each control pattern in the configuration under "Control
properties", "Reset".
Control facilities ST, ALA, RAL can be monitored for faults and/or actuation.
Monitored control facilities
The SIGMASYS transponder outputs (4 STE control module) are monitored with a monitoring
current when configured as a control facility depending on the actuator type. With these out-
puts control facilities up to 125mA can be directly monitored and controlled.
For monitored control facilities with transponder or 4STE control module >125mA and with
monitored control facilities with FDCIO222 input/output module, a relay with two change-over
contacts (all-or-nothing relay A5Q00001243) is required.
In this case the control facility is monitored via a monitored input on the transponder or in-
put/output module.
Monitoring the control facility for actuation
Monitoring for actuation or non-actuation is done using a feedback contact on the controlled
device on any assigned input of the control facility (FDnet, SIGMALOOP/spur).
The monitoring period can be set at between 0.25s and 5 minutes.
10.1.1 AL/LA – Alerting facilities
An alerting facility is used to acoustically signal a fire alarm in order to alert the emergency
service (works fire brigade).
If an alerting facility is activated, it can be deactivated and, if necessary, re-activated with the
operating panel button "LA on/off".
If the alerting facility on the operating panel is deactivated and another alarm associated with
this alerting device is tripped, then the alerting facility is activated once again (re-triggerable).
Press the FBF (fire brigade operating panel) button "Acoust. signals off" once to deactivate all
alerting facilities: alerting facilities will not be tripped by another alarm. Press this button again
to reactivate all alarm-tripping alerting facilities.
The source (e. g. detector objects, alarm zones or detector zones) that tripped an alerting fa-
cility (AL) can be established for every facility. Operators can also choose from a number of
different control patterns. It is thus possible to vary the signalling criteria (alarm, prewarning,
prealarm, signal).
