Standard Specification for an Automatic Addressable Analogue Fire

Detection System

1.3. Device address

Each device on line must be uniquely identifiable by the control unit.

This must be achieved by pre-setting the address of each device.
Removal of a detector head from its base must extend a fault condition to
the control unit.

1.4 Device identification

The identification of each type of address unit and each type of sensor (i.e.
Smoke and heat detectors, sprinkler switch, etc.) must be transmitted to
the panel on each polling scan.

1.5. Device status

The condition of each line device, including circuit, calibration and

contamination, must be transmitted to the panel on each polling scan.
1.7. Calibration

The system must check the calibration of each analogue line device and
record changes caused by environmental contamination. When maximum
calibration adjustment is reached the panel must indicate a
“maintenance” signal. This must be a dedicated signal, and must be
separate from the “pre-alarm” signal.

The build-up of dirt or similar contamination on the optical surfaces will

cause the output signal from the detector to gradually change. The
control panel shall be capable of monitoring this slow change in signal
and at a predetermined level indicate that the detector is in need of
servicing.

1.8. Display and indicators

All display and indicators shall be LCD for text, and LED for lamp
indication. The type, calibration, sensitivity and status of each device
must be able to be displayed at the control panel.

1.9. Number of devices in alarm

There shall be no limit to the number of devices which may be in alarm

simultaneously. When a detector is in alarm an LED in it’s head or base
shall be switched on.

1.10. Line protection and monitoring

The addressable line must be monitored for short circuit or open circuit.
The occurrence of an open circuit shall cause a fault signal on the panel,
but all sensors or devices shall function correctly. The occurrence of a
short circuit shall cause no more than 20 sensors or callpoints to cease
operating, and all remaining devices shall function correctly.

2. Loop Operation

2.1. Addresses

2.1.1. The loop devices shall each have a unique address. Each device
may be addressed as often as is required.

2.1.2. There shall be no preset order for addressing the devices. The
devices shall be addressed appropriate to site conditions. This
order will be determined during system design or commissioning.
Every device must be checked by the control panel every 2 seconds.
In order to maintain system integrity, the panel must not bypass
any sensors during a scan.

2.1.3. The control panel will have the facility of determining if more
than one device has the same address on the loop. A “double
address” alarm shall be given if this occurs.

2.2. Loop Devices

2.2.1. It shall be possible to fit a range of sensors and devices to the loop,
as indicated in detail later in this specification.
 2.2.2. Sensors shall transmit data to the control panel every 2 seconds,
which shall be interpreted by the algorithm allocated to the
particular sensor. Response shall be determined by the
characteristics of the algorithm.

2.2.3. Manual callpoints shall each have their own unique address and
the panel shall be capable of identifying and responding to the
operation of a callpoint within three seconds, as required by
BS5839.

2.2.4. Loop sounders shall be powered directly from the addressable loop,
without requiring any additional wiring. It shall be possible to fit
up to 20 sounders onto each loop, depending on the size and
length of the loop cabling.

2.2.5. It shall be possible to fit loop isolators at a maximum spacing of

one per 20 devices. The isolators shall protect against short
circuits, and partial short circuits, on the loop by isolating that
section of the loop where the short circuit occurred, thus
maintaining the integrity of the remainder of the system.

2.2.6. Fire condition LED indicators fitted to the devices and any remote
indicators shall be remotely and separately operated from the
control panel.

2.3 Interfacing to other systems.

The loop shall be capable of receiving information form third-party

systems, e.g. Operation of sprinkler system, by means of standard
interface units. The source of this information shall be identified by its
own unique address. In addition, the interface unit shall indicate to the
panel the type of alarm, e.g. “Sprinkler”, “security”, etc.

2.4. Device monitoring

2.4.1. The panel shall monitor each device on every scan, and give a
fault signal for any of the following conditions within 30 seconds:

2.4.1.1. Detector removed

2.4.1.2. Address unit removed
2.4.1.3. Incorrect device type
2.4.1.4. Faulty calibration or sensitivity

2.5. Line capacity

The capacity of the address line shall be at least 127 addressable devices.
These must be input devices, such as smoke sensors, or output devices,
such as sounders or relays.

2.6. Floating Thresholds

The alarm thresholds of each analogue detector shall vary individually in

accordance with its idle status. This includes alarm thresholds, rate
 algorithms, pre-alarm and maintenance thresholds. When the threshold
reaches its maximum limit, the panel must be able to indicate a
“maintenance required” signal for the particular detector. This must be
separate to a “pre-alarm” signal. The use of a combined signal for “pre-
alarm/maintenance” is not acceptable.
