Security SystemsIssue/AmendmentInstructions for the Fire System Designer Rel. 2.1 3/6From Our Reference Datevon Rosenstiel March 31, 2009Page1 IntroductionThese instructions explain the features included with the Fire System Designer Release 2.1. Itprovides basic information on operating the Fire System Designer. The following chapters explainthe new features:– Extinguishing systems interfaces– Networking with fiber optic cable (FOC)– Opening old systems in combination with BCM-0000-BNew products:- FNM-420 LSN improved Sounders- FAS-420-TM Smoke Aspiration System- Interface modules (FLM-420-O8I2; FLM-420-RLE-S (Extinguishing Interface Module);FLM-420-O1I1)- BCM-0000-B Battery Controller ModuleNote:When you install FSD Release 2.1, you can retain the personalized sequence of the products inthe selection bar and any saved parameters without having to uninstall the previous version.2 Interfaces for Activating Extinguishing SystemsExtinguishing systems can be activated from the FPA-5000 in two different ways:1. Via the FLM-420-RLE-S Extinguishing Interface Module2. Via the RMH 0002 A functional moduleIf you want to use these products to activate an extinguishing system in the FSD, select thevariant marked with a yellow warning triangle and "EA" in the CTN. In this context, "EA" stands for"Extinguishing Area" and is only attributed to the product name in the FSDEach deployment of one of these products within an FPA-5000 constitutes an extinguishing area

Security SystemsIssue/AmendmentInstructions for the Fire System Designer Rel. 2.1 4/6From Our Reference Datevon Rosenstiel March 31, 2009PageHow does the FSD satisfy the standard for activating extinguishing systems?In the FSD, the extinguishing system and extinguishing interface module with the yellow warningtriangle are subject to legalities aimed at satisfying standards:– If a second extinguishing area is set up on a fire panel (via FLM-420-RLE-S EA orRMH 0002 A EA), the FSD requires a redundant panel (reason: if a panelcontroller fails, no more than one extinguishing area is allowed to fail)– FLM-420-RLE-S EA Extinguishing Interface Modules cannot be combined withother products in a loop– If a second FLM-420-RLE-S EA is placed on the same loop, the FSD requires asecond LSN module of the same type in the plausibility list– This second LSN module must not be assigned products as it forms a loop with theLSN module on which the extinguishing interface modules are located (reason: Inthe event that one of the LSN modules is faulty, no more than one extinguishingarea is allowed to fail).– To avoid products unintentionally drawing on the redundant LSN module:1. Right-click the redundant LSN module2. Select "Extinguishing area redundancy".The module is then hidden and no more products can be added– A maximum of 8 extinguishing areas may be entered on each panel.The FSD therefore restricts the total of FLM-420-RLE-S EA and RMH 0002 A EAto 8 items altogether3 Networking with Fiber Optic Cable3.1 Background:– You can use an FOC/CAN converter to network a panel with another panel viafiber optic cable (FOC).– If one panel in the network is networked with two other panels via fiber optic cable,these panels require two FOC/CAN converters.– The FOC/CAN converters each use 100 mA.– They do not have a product ID as they are obtained locally.3.2 Implementation in FSDThis is how to define in the FSD which panels are connected with each other via fiber opticcables:

The system is defined as "already installed".– In the panel's inventory (left-click on panel), all elements are marked as installed.2. The BCM 0000 A is replaced in the inventory with a BCM-0000-B, but the FSD behavesas though it were a BCM 0000 A:a. The MPC 0000 A is retained; these would not be possible with a BCM-0000-B(incompatible).b. For the purposes of battery calculation, it uses power from the old BCM 0000 A.c. The difference of 6 mA is incorporated in the BCM-0000-B standby current.3. If the system is now extended, the current consumption and therefore the battery capacityincrease until, eventually, another battery controller module is needed.a. As the old BCM 0000 A is no longer available, the FSD adds a BCM-0000-B, whichappears in the order list.b. As the MPC 0000 A and BCM-0000-B are incompatible, the old system's MPC0000 A must now be replaced with a MPC-0000-B.c. The corresponding instruction appears in the plausibility window if a new BatteryController Module is added to the system.d. If you click the instruction, you will be taken to the "Parameter" menu item, wherethe MPC-0000-B can be manually selected (please also select the language).e. The instruction then disappears from the plausibility window.4.2 What happens if the file is not opened as an old system?1. All MPC 0000 A units are replaced by the new MPC-0000-B.2. All BCM 0000 A units are replaced by the new BCM-0000-B.

In terms of battery calculation, in some cases the battery capacity may be changed as thepower of the new products is fractionally different from that of the old products.4. No system elements are defined as "already installed".
