Visual linking of fire zones with
HVAC
The fire zones and elements
are dynamically displayed on
the relevant Management
Station floor plans and HVAC
plant diagram
The user can quickly locate the
fire zone within the physical
environment allowing faster
reaction times and better un-
derstanding of system depend-
encies
Must be engineered
Logical linking of fire zones with
HVAC
The fire zones can be linked to
the HVAC plant on automation
(hardware) level allowing exact
coupling of fire zones or com-
plex smoke scenarios.
In fire/smoke mode, the plant is
overridden in an intelligent
manner, suppressing nuisance
alarms or mimicking real time
actions.
Requires engineering on auto-
mation level.
Approval required if used for
life-safety control
Reporting of online system data Users and service engineers
can execute pre-defined re-
ports on system status.
Fast report on system status
and anomalies allow optimal
service. Printing and arching of
reports can be used to verify
correct operation.
Reporting of historical data Users can execute pre-defined
reports showing.
Fast report on system status

service. Printing and arching of
reports can be used to verify
correct operation.
Logging of activity from the local
fire panel
Events on the fire panel, such
as faults or alarms, as well as
manually executed interactions
are logged at the management
station
The user has an clear and
reportable historical record of
the system status and actions
performed on the local panel
See feature on Reporting
Monitoring and alarming of
communications faults
The communications are moni-
tored at both the management
station and the fire panel
System availability is increased
providing customer peace of
mind
Higher availability
Security Commanding of fire safety and
security panel is user protected
and secure
The sophisticated users access
and commanding sequence
ensures the fire panel can only
be commanded from the man-
agement station.
