System Specifications - Tecnoalarm Tecnofire TFA2-596 Installation Manual

The scope of the TFA2-596 and TFA4-1192 control panels is to build small, medium-sized and large addressable systems for the
automatic detection of fi re. The systems can be composed of a network of maximum 16 control panels, permitting, in its maximum
network confi guration, the management of up to 19,072 devices. Remember that the limit imposed by the EN 54 is 512 detectors
and/or manual call points for each control panel.
User interface
The front panel of the control panel hosts the user interface, consisting of 16 LED, a graphic color display and a keypad for management
of the fi re detection system. The user interface integrates also a voice synthesis function that uses a customizable vocabulary.
Access levels
The control panel manages 4 levels of access: level 1 (not protected by code), level 2 (user), level 3 (installation and maintenance personnel
and level 4 (manufacturer).
Monitored system mode
The control panel provides for the monitored system mode, subject to the recognition of a level 2 code.
The monitored system mode is indicated by the relevant LED on the control panel and the relevant icon on the repeater panel.
System confi guration
The confi guration of the system can be performed locally through the control panel or remotely using a personal computer and the
programming software.
Integrated Ethernet hub
The control panel integrates an Ethernet interface which can communicate with the supervision centers on a local area network (LAN)
and/or a wide area network (WAN or VPN). The Ethernet interface which meets the 803.2 standard can transmit in a full/half duplex mode with
a transmission speed of 10 Mbit to 100 Mbit. The client/server communications are managed by 4 independent communication channels.
To forward notifi cations, the Ethernet interface uses 8 independent channels.
Communication protocols
The 8 channels for the event notifi cation use both standard and proprietary TCP/IP protocols with an 128 bit AES encryption.
The channels can also manage encrypted transmissions using customized passphrases.
Control panel network
The network can be composed of a total of 16 addressable control panels connected through the RS485 serial bus.
The network is arranged in a hierarchy, one master control panel has the complete control over up to 15 slave control panels.
All information and signaling will be collected by the master. Network functioning is in compliance with the EN 54-13 standard.
Detection loop
The detection loop of the control panel can handle up to 199 detectors and 99 modules (maximum confi guration in closed-loop mode).
Detectors
The control panel can directly manage the addressable detectors of the Tecnofi re product line.
Conventional detectors can be managed through addressable interfaces.
Modules
The control panel can manage different types of specialized modules: input modules, output modules, sirens, call points, optical-acoustic
alarm devices, additional power supplies.
Telephone communicator
A total of 5 external PSTN telephone communicators with optional GSM-GPRS interface can be connected for transmitting voice, SMS,
GPRS notifi cations of alarms and signaling.
Repeater
The repeater panel has the task of repeating alarm signaling and decentralizing system management.
The repeater provides a 7 inches touch screen and a voice synthesis function.
