ABSTRACT Abstract The Advanced Discovery System (ADICOS ) is used for early detection of fires in industrial ® environments. It is comprised of various, separate detector units. By parameterizing and arranging the detectors appropriately, the system fulfills a predefined detection goal. The ADI- COS system ensures reliable early detection of embers and smoldering fires even in adverse environments.

function Function During operation, the ADICOS GSME monitors the signals of its gas sensors and trig- gers an alarm according to the set limit value combinations. If an ADICOS central unit (ADICOS M-BUSMASTER) is used, the detector transmits additionally all sensor and op- erating data to be displayed in the ADICOS System Software via M-Bus (–›...
function 4.1.2 Configuration and evaluation The ADICOS GSME is characterized by its particular intelligence and flexibility during signal detection and evaluation. The detector electronics does not only investigate the concentra- tions of individual fire gases, but considers the relations of the detection concentrations as well.

function 4.1.2.6 Customized configuration changes Using the ADICOS System Software, all limit values of the ADICOS GSME can be change inde- pendently from the delivered basic configuration. If the limit values of the basic configuration are replaced with freely selected limit values, an individual detector configuration is chosen. CAUTION! Ineffectiveness due to incorrect parameterization Faulty limit value combinations can lead to complete ineffectiveness of the de-...
function Signal Relays The ADICOS GSME is equipped with two signal relays that signal the “Alarm” and “Fault” states. The “Alarm” signal relay is realized as normally open contact, the “Fault” signal relay as nor- mally closed contact. The signal lines of the signal relays are integrated into the ADICOS con- nection cable (–›...
instAllAtion Installation WARNING! Danger of malfunction and failure of the detector system Improper installation of ADICOS detectors can lead to faults and failures of the detector system. • Installation work may only be performed by specialist personnel! (–› Chap. 2.3, Personnel qualification) Installation Location DANGER! Explosion danger in potentially explosive atmospheres...
instAllAtion Moisture If drip or spray water is to be expected in the planned installation environment, direct contact with the sintered metal filter must be prevented. This also applies in the case of regular build- ing cleaning with water. Spray protection must be used in the case of moisture! Vibration Strong vibrations can damage the electronics of the ADICOS GSME detector.
instAllAtion Installation Orientation NOTICE! Property damage due to incorrect installation A sintered metal filter clogged with dust deposits reduces the detectivity of the detector and can lead to ineffectiveness! Water accumulation on the filter can damage the detector. • Mount the detector with the sintered metal filter pointing downward! •...

operAtion Operation During operation, the detector monitors the fire gas concentrations captured by the sensors per its basic configuration and triggers an alarm, when the set alarm limit values are exceeded. The query interval of the sensors amounts to 30 seconds. Software Access If a M-Bus interface is used, detailed detector information can be called up via the ADICOS M-Bus.
operAtion If the alarm LED is controlled via central fire alarm panel, the alarm state can be reset via the alarm reset contact of the fire panel. Beyond that, an alarm can only be reset via a detector reset, which is expressly discouraged. 7.2.2 Alarm holding time The alarm holding time is an optional parameter that can be adjusted via the ADICOS System...
