User Manual Series BC216 / Part A Introduction Decades of research and development of LST in the field of fire detection control panel technology and the successful cooperation with renowned international test authorities led to the development of the new fire detection control panels BC216-1 and BCnet216 of LST.
BC216-1 or BCnet216 by Labor Strauss Sicherungsanlagen- bau Ges.m.b.H. Wien (LST), or by persons being explicitly authorized by LST. The control panel has to be protected from moisture and damage of any kind. It is to be installed in a dry and clean room easy accessible to the safety personnel.
The fire detection control panels BC216-1 and BCnet216 have been approved by the test authorities in the following states: Austria: Prüfstelle für Brandschutztechnik des österreichischen Berufsfeuerwehrverbandes Germany: VdS Schadensverhütung GmbH., Zertifizierungsstelle (BCnet216: pending) Hungary: EMILABS GMBH.
