Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 1. About planning the system 1.1 When is a fire alarm needed? Fire Detection 3 Fire detection and alarm systems are installed mainly to protect human life. The early detection of smoke sensor alerts people to evacuate the building in an orderly manner. Alarm devices provide a sufficient signal to warn people. Fire detection and alarm systems are also installed on premises where stock, machinery or other property need to be protected.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 1.3 Fire Detection 4 Regulations EN54-14 “Guidelines for Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance” defines good general guidelines for planning. Local specific regulations must also be followed. The main planning and documentation phases are described in the diagram below. A typical lay out drawing including devices is found in the section 1.4.

Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 5. Fire Detection 16 FX 3NET, multi-panel networked system FX 3NET is the solution for fire detection systems that consists of several individual panels and which interact with each other as if they were one huge panel. Any panel (or all of them) can handle the whole system.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 Fire Detection 17 Example 2 Consider an industrial site with two large buildings and a gate building. The gate should see all events to be able to direct the fire brigade. Each building should have (as in the previous example) mutual monitoring and control between the panels in the building, but there is no need to see the alarms between the buildings.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 5.2 Fire Detection 18 Site plan table of seeing – visible panels Site: Seeing panel Location Visible panels Number of connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Total number of connections Max. 256 The logical connection between the panels is based on configured "seeing" - "visible" relationships.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 5.3 Fire Detection 19 Interpanel communication In large systems with several panels, and especially if the panels are located apart, it is important to ensure the communication between the panels. Therefore the FX 3NET communication is secured with two separate communication lines (System 1 and System 2). If one line is broken or shorted, the system is still able to communicate with the other one. This redundancy also includes the communication circuitry in the panels.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 Fire Detection 6. Addressable detection circuits, addresses, zones 6.1 FX-SLC addressable detection circuits and addresses 20 The cables that connect the detectors and the I/O-modules to the panel are called detection circuits (or loops).
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 6.2 Fire Detection 21 Detection zones Detectors in a fire detection system are usually grouped into ‘detection zones’. In conventional systems, the detection circuit coincides with a detection zone, but in addressable systems such as the FX 3NET, the detectors are grouped by the software. The zones are identified by a four-digit number in the range 0001 … 9999 and they have to be consecutive within an FX panel.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 Fire Detection 22 Closed detection circuit (highly recommended) A closed detection circuit gives the highest safety because the panel can still communicate with all addresses even if the cable is cut. To minimise the effect of a short circuit, isolators are available, which reduces the number of dropped-out addresses to the addresses between the isolators that are closest to the short circuit. The rule of a max.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 6.4 Fire Detection 23 FX control groups Note! See the document “Configuration data”. Note! See the user manual of the WinFX3Net configuration tool. The concept of control groups in an FX panel is a way of grouping the various inputs of the panel to facilitate the activation of outputs. The control groups are defined separately from the detection zones. ‘Control groups’ goes hand in hand with ‘events’. There are two kinds of events: input events and output events.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 Fire Detection 24 6.4.1 Control groups for all event types (Ctrl A and Ctrl B) Control group A and B inputs are not limited to the detectors and other addressable devices in the loop; monitoring inputs in the panel can also be members of control groups. Control group outputs can also be both addressable outputs in the loop as well as relay outputs in the panel.

Note! The shortest delay is always displayed on the user interface display if more than 1 delay is activated. 6.4.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 Fire Detection 26 6.4.4 Control group use for delayed alarm Control groups A and B can be used together with the DAPX alarm panel for a delayed alarm according to the Swedish standard. The “delayed alarm” functional principle has been described in the following diagram.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 6.5 Fire Detection 27 Number of devices between short circuit isolators Using short circuit isolators and returning the detection circuit to the panel, the full capacity of the detection circuit can be used. Short circuit isolators have to be installed at the boundary of each zone to comply with the requirement that not more than one zone falls out of operation in the case of a single cable fault. Note! 6.6 Use the system capacity calculation tool.
Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 7. FX-CLC Conventional detection circuits 7.1 Conventional detection circuit controller (CLC) Fire Detection 28 The FX 3NET panels can also be equipped with Conventional Loop Controllers (CLC). The CLC board takes one loop controller place in the panel.

Planning Instruction 66571758GB0 8.5 Fire Detection 34 Battery backup calculation The formula for calculating the required battery capacity is: (L1 x T1 + L2 x T2) x 1.25 [Ah] where L1 = standby current in amperes T1 = standby time in hours L2 = alarm current in amperes T2 = alarm time in hours 1.25 = compensation for ageing The requirements for standby time and alarm time varies in various countries, but if no national requirements exist, it is recommended to use T1 = 72 hours and T2 = 0.5 hours.

Planning Instruction 66571760GB0 3. Fire Detection 8 Special features to avoid nuisance alarms It is a well-known fact that fire detection and alarm systems, while operating fully according to standards and specifications, may initiate alarms in situations that are not really fire situations. These alarms are called nuisance alarms and are mostly the result of activities in the building that create physical phenomena that resemble those that the fire detection system is designed to react upon.
Planning Instruction 66571760GB0 Fire Detection 9 The initial delay time and the additional delay time are set in 10-second increments and are limited by the standard to a maximum of 5 minutes and 10 minutes, the total delay time being further restricted to a maximum of 10 minutes. Delayed alarm mode is selected individually for each address (normally only for smoke detectors). Delay is terminated by a non-delayed alarm signal (normally heat detector or manual call point).
