Operation Mode 3.11 Resounding the Internal Buzzer After pressing the MUTE PANEL button in an alarm condition, the internal buzzer will automatically be resounded in the following cases: • if any new event occurs (for example, a detection zone enters the Fire Alarm state) • after a timeout period if the cause for making it sound is still present. 3.
Operation Mode 3.14 Alarm Disablement (AlarmDisable) If there are points within an operation zone still signalling a Fire Alarm, an alarm disablement will take effect. Alarmdisabling may or may not be required to be confirmed by the operator (configurable). • If confirmation is not required, all points still signalling a Fire Alarm, are automatically disabled. • If confirmation is required, a list of points in alarm is presented on the display.
Operation Mode 3.16.2 Point Disablements A general rule is that a Point may be disabled by one or more disablement sources simultaneously. To be enabled, the Point must be enabled from all these disablement sources. Example: A Point is disabled from a Zone (Detection Zone disable command issued from an Operator Panel) and from a Disable Input Unit. For the Point to become enabled, a DZ enable command must be issued from the Operator Panel and the Restore button on the Disable Input Unit must be pressed.
Operation Mode 3.17 Alarm Handling - A Typical Situation The handling of a fire situation will typically contain the following phases: • One or more detection zones are issuing Prealarm signals (Accept). • One or more of these detection zones will go into Fire Alarm, activating Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and Fire Protection Equipment (FPE).
Operation Mode 3.18 Different Types of Detection Zones 3.18.1 Introduction When handling events in Operation Mode, it is important to be aware of differences regarding the detection zone configuration (configured by using the AutroSafe Configuration Tool). The type of the specific detection zone as well as the type of point (detector or manual call point) will determine how the system responds to the signal - with respect to action.
Operation Mode 3.18.3 Coincidence Action Detection Zones A fire alarm signal from a single detector in a Coincidence Action detection zone, will initiate no actions, i.e. there will be no actioning of outputs to; • Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) • Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) • Fire Protection Equipment (FPE) - provided that FAD, FARE and FPE are set to Qualified Action (see next page) At least two detectors in the same detection zone must be in alarm state before actions are initiated.
Operation Mode 3.18.4 Delayed Action Detection Zones When the operator panel receives a fire alarm signal from a point in a Delayed Action detection zone (configurable), the actioning of outputs to Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and/or Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) can be delayed.
Operation Mode In the display, a detection zone with its outputs delayed is indicated by a @ in front of the zone text. The time for the first delayed action is also displayed. Note that the optional alarm presentation with zonal indication is used throughout the handbook.

15. Appendix 15.1 Terms and Abbreviations Term / Abbreviation Explanation Activation To bring a component into (one of) its active activation states (depending on type, a component may have several active activation states). Examples of activation are turning a fire extinguisher on and making a sounder to issue a EVACUATE or ALERT signal. Components may be activated and deactivated either on command or on alarm.
Appendix Term / Abbreviation Explanation Fire Alarm Recieving Station A centre from which the necessary fire protection measures can be initiated at any time. Fire Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) Intermediate equipment which routes an alarm signal from control and indicating equipment to a Fire Alarm Receiving Station.
Appendix 15.2 Zonal Definitions 15.2.1 General To describe the functional hierarchy of the system we use the term "zone". Assigning system components to zones enables hierarchical control from detection to activation of alarm.
Appendix 15.2.3 Alarm Zone An Alarm Zone (AZ) is activated by one or several detection zones. Example: An alarm from one of the devices in DZ3 will activate sounders in AZ1. Within the same alarm zone, alarm sounders give the same audible signal. Geographically associated alarm zones can be defined as neighbour zones, such that these can operate outputs for alarm zones adjacent to the incident. 15.2.4 Operation Zone An Operation Zone (OZ) defines the scope of an Operator Panel.
Appendix 15.2.5 Configuration Example An example of a typical configuration would be as follows: • Each single room with one or several detectors is defined as a Detection Zone, DZ1, DZ2, etc. • Each corridor and stairway is defined as a Detection Zone. • Two main sections on each floor, divided by a fire wall, are each defined as an Alarm Zone, AZ1 and AZ2. These alarm zones are also defined as neighbour alarm zones.
Appendix 15.3 Action Digits Table - Operation Mode All action digits that may appear in Operation Mode are listed in the table below. Action Digits Action ACCEPT FIRE WARNING Digit When action is available 4 Available when the selected event is a non-accepted Fire Warning. Used to….. • accept the selected Fire 3 Available in the Info window when the selected event is a non-accepted Fault Warning.
Appendix PROLONG DELAY 4 Available when the selected event is a Delayed Action detection zone having entered the fire alarm condition and is in its T1 period. The T1 delay period is started when a Fire Alarm signal from a point is received. (Not included in SOLAS version). • terminate the T1 delay period 4 As PROLONG DELAY above. • terminate the T1 delay period JKL BLOCK JKL Used in a SOLAS Action detection zone. and start the T2 delay period.
