2 Introduction The AVANTIS range consists of a single zone, multi-suppression capable miniature panel (MICRO) and a central 4.3 inch touchscreen information point (TI). The MICRO can be installed as a standalone suppression panel with minimal signalling and configurability. It can also be placed in a digitally addressable MODBUS network alongside a Ti to form a system which offers advanced reporting, ease of use and configurability.
forming a system that is very resilient to power loss. Each individual supply can also be installed separately depending on user requirements. There is an on board Manual Release Point (MCP) that utilizes “CapSense” touch technology (which is completely resistant to mechanic deterioration, unlike tradition mechanical push buttons).

solid when completed correctly. Press the reset button, the fault LED will flash the number of times that the MODBUS address is currently set to. Press successively the RESET button until the LED flashes the number you want. Each MICRO connected must have a unique MODBUS address.

5. Connect Mains (neutral and live) earth is disconnected as its class Clip supply to rail and secure the lid 5.1 Connection to the panel The system is digitally addressable. Therefore, to connect the MICROs to the TI you need only a single 4 core cable. All connected devices can be connected in parallel with each other using the single cable as each device has a unique address.

5.2.3 Ti RS 485 -NEG MODBUS 7-28VDC RS485 Ti Comms Figure 5: TI Connection Supply 6 MICRO controls 6.1 Start up The MICRO uses capacitor discharge and latching relays to actuate suppression. If a previous fire has occurred, then one of the following situations maybe present: 1.
Enter code 11 22 33 if successful all LEDs will flash. The keys are now unlocked and once pressed will carry out their respective function. At any point if 30 seconds passes without a keypress the keys will Auto-lock and you must restart the unlock procedure.
*only possible when system contains a AVANTIS Ti 8 TI controls User interaction with the TI revolves around it’s 4.3inch resistive touch screen. Several sub screens are provided from the main menu for fine tuning the functionality of the system and can only be accessed via the Level 3 code (4444). 8.1 Main Screen The main screen automatically reconfigures (to take maximum advantage of the screen size) depending on how many MICROs have been automatically detected.
A blue button indicates normal condition, in this condition a user can press the Panel button, type the user access code 1234 then change the identity of the MICRO to make it easy to localize the panel. A user can change the word “Panel #” to any 8-letter word i.e. Kitchen1. 8.2 Fault Log The fault log can be accessed for any individual MICRO by clicking on the MICRO from the main screen (if it is in a fault or fire condition, with orange or red colour).

Figure 8: Settings page From this screen, you can: 1. Reset the event log “Rst Event”. 2. Access disablements “Disable”. 3. View the event log “Events”. 4. Set the time “Time”. 5. Change zone configuration “Zone”. 6. Other options “Options”. 7.
Figure 9: Two stage warning screen The user must press “YES” to confirm the reset. Factory reset does not reset the event log. 8.4 Disablements Disablements utilises the slide button object, the text on the object shows what the item is currently set to. Users can either slide the button or press in the space you want the button to go, whichever the user finds easier.
By disabling the EXT this will disable the sellected MICRO supression, meaning supression will never be activated however signaling for the mcp being pressed or zone being activated will still occur. In this mode the MICROs health LED will stop flashing and the internal buzzer will sound every 10 seconds.
8.6 Options Currently there are 4 options (more will become available at a later date). Figure 12: Options screen Currently in the MICRO none of these options are used. 9 Inputs and outputs 9.1 Delays The system requires 3 seconds to charge and then discharge the capacitor if a delay is selected for any of the zones or MCPs the 3 seconds is included.
Relays can switch currents of 1A at 28V. Current and voltage exceeded these rating may permanently damage the relay or PCB. However, if a user wishes to disable the panel to continue machine or process operation if the fire relay is used as a shut off, the disable button can be pressed which will return the fire relay to none fire condition however in this state the fault relay will indicate that the panel is disabled.
Note: The TI does not require battery backup if the MICRO’s fire and fault LEDs can be visually observed by the end user as mentioned in EN12094-1. No configuration is required if the TI’s power is lost and eventually returned. All configuration is stored in none volatile memory.
Mains Failure Battery Fault Zone 1 Open circuit EXT1 Short Circuit EXT2 Open Circuit Sounder Open Circuit Sounder Short Circuit System Fault 11.3 Silence alarm action One press of the silence button on each MICRO silence that individual MICRO’s internal buzzer.
Successful Result: All connected MICROs health LED will stop flashing and their internal buzzer will start sounding every 10 seconds. On the TI all Panels will display as disabled and flashing yellow. Troubleshoot: If A panel does not do this there may be: 1.
