National standards, regulations and legislation
Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant
European and international safety standards. Should additional national or local
safety standards or legislation concerning the planning, assembly, installation,
operation or disposal of the product apply at the place of operation, then these
must also be taken into account together with the safety regulations in the product
documentation.
Electrical installations
WARNING
Electrical voltage
Electric shock
Work on electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified

electricians or by instructed persons working under the guidance and
supervision of a qualified electrician, in accordance with the electrotechnical
regulations.
Wherever possible disconnect products from the power supply when carrying
out commissioning, maintenance or repair work on them.
Lock volt-free areas to prevent them being switched back on again by mistake.
Label the connection terminals with external external voltage using a

'DANGER External voltage' sign.
Route mains connections to products separately and fuse them with their own,
clearly marked fuse.
Fit an easily accessible disconnecting device in accordance with IEC 60950-1

outside the installation.
Produce earthing as stated in local safety regulations.
Assembly, installation, commissioning and maintenance

l
If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
When starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
Ensure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
You may only set controls to normal function when the product operability has
been completely tested and the system has been handed over to the customer.

You will find more information about control panel FC721 in document
A6V10211100 Technical Manual FC721.
All fire control panels have an integrated operating unit. In addition, fire terminal
FT724 provides a separate operating terminal.
Fire control panels FC722, FC723, FC724 and FC726 are also referred to as
FC72x below.
Networking
FS720 fire control panels and fire terminals are networked by default via the
system bus 'C-WEB/SAFEDLINK'. The system bus enables system-wide alarming
and access to every single device.
Up to 32 stations can be networked redundantly via a SAFEDLINK network.
Several SAFEDLINK networks can be connected to form one extended network. A
maximum of 64 stations can be networked in an extended network.
Detector lines
The FC720 fire control panels support the C-NET detector line. In addition to the
detectors and input/output modules, indicating and operating devices may be
connected to this detector line. These devices facilitate system-wide access to the
most important functions. Power supply for these devices is ensured by the
detector line. An additional supply installation is thus not necessary. The one
exception to this is the transponder FDCIO223, which needs its own supply.
Fire control panels FC723 and FC726 can also be fitted with module bus cards to
support migration processes, other detector lines and I/O cards.
Configuration and operation

The FS720 system is configured with the PC software FXS7212 (Engineering Tool
Cerberus Engineering Tool). A simple system can also be configured on the station
using the 'Auto-configuration' function.

Extended networking
4.2
Extended networking
A Ethernet switch (MM) FN2008-A1 can be used to consolidate several networked
FS720 fire detection systems together to make one composite network (CWEB/LAN).
This C-WEB/LAN is connected electrically/optically via the Ethernet switch (MM)
FN2008-A1 with the individual C-WEB/SAFEDLINK sub-nets in a loop by means of
fiber optic cables.
This allows smaller sub-nets to be networked over large distances using a fast
main network. Individual buildings can therefore be connected to a network as subnetworks, for example.
4.2.1
Extended redundant networking

To retain redundant networking in an extended network in accordance with EN 54,
all network nodes in a sub-net must be connected to the C-WEB/LAN via two
Ethernet switch (MM) FN2008-A1 or stations. Stations are configured as routers
and monitor one another. If the active router station fails, the standby router station
automatically takes over its function.
This type of redundant networking is used for sub-networks with one or more of the
following criteria:
l
More than 512 C-NET detectors

On a monitored surface of more than 12,000 m2
if a station takes over system-wide remote transmission

Functions
This chapter describes the most important functions that can be supported by the
fire detection system.
Decision on alarm
The danger signals of the detectors are evaluated by the zone. The decision on
alarm is made at zone level. Decision on alarm can be configured as follows for
each zone:
l
Single-detector dependency
In single-detector dependency, a fire alarm is triggered when the first detector
within a zone transmits a danger level.
Multi-detector dependency
In multi-detector dependency, a fire alarm is triggered when several detectors
transmit a danger level.
Alarm verification concept for delayed alarm transmission

The alarm verification concept (AVC) serves for delayed alarm transmission. The
operating personnel are integrated into the alarming process. During attendance
check (t1) the system checks whether operating personnel are on site. The
operating personnel can examine the fire location during the investigation time (t2)
and can prevent the alerting of the fire brigade in case of false alarm.
This behavior is only applicable in 'Manned' operating mode. In 'Unmanned'
operating mode, the alarm transmission is activated immediately.
An attendance check delay (t1) can be configured for each fire control panel. The
investigation time (t2) can be defined by zone.

Fire Safety
A6V10210362_i_en_-2014-03-21
System overview
Functions
Multi-detector dependency
In multi-detector dependency, the danger levels of several detectors are included in
the alarm decision (e.g. two detectors report danger level 3).
2-detector zone dependency

A detector zone comprising one or more detectors triggers a first alarm. A main
alarm is triggered by the second detector zone's alarm. Only the main alarm
triggers other important controls such as extinguishing or remote transmission.
Controls
Universal controls can be configured to automatically actuate the appropriate
controls in the event of an alarm. Any events (e.g. alarm or isolation) are put into a
logical relation (OR, AND, NOT) to activate the controls (e.g. the closing of fire
doors).
In networked installations, controls can be configured system-wide.
Evacuation
To ensure a controlled evacuation of people from the building in the event of fire, it
is possible to configure chronological alarming in different building sections.
Remote access
Cerberus-Remote provides a PC-based PMI for remote access to the fire detection
system. Remote access to the fire detection system is possible with CerberusRemote. Cerberus-Remoteis connected to the Ethernet port of a station.

5 Project planning of indication and operation

devices
Various operation and indication devices are available in the fire detection system
FS720. The functions of the devices differ. Access to and viewing other operation
and indication devices can be configured in different ways.
In a first project planning step, it is necessary to define which types of indication
and operation devices are required and how they can be integrated into the fire
detection system.
Procedure
1. Define the places in the building where an operation and indication device is
desired and required.
2. Define the desired visibility (system-wide or station-wide) for each operation
and indication device.
3. Define the function and type for each operation and indication device.
4. Define the type of power supply for each operation and indication device.

Guideline
l
External power supply is possible with DC or AC.
Floor repeater terminals and floor repeater displays that are not fed by the
detector line (separate power supply) must be electrically isolated from the
system voltage.
NOTICE
Influencing of ground fault monitoring
Faults
A galvanic isolation of the supply unit must be available for devices on the CNET that are fed separately (with the exception of the transponder).
When an external supply unit is used, it must be taken into account that should
the external supply unit fail, the maximum current connection factor increases
significantly (line failure is possible).
When power supply is ensured via the detector line, the high maximum current
connection factor must be taken into account.
Several floor repeater terminals and floor repeater displays, which are
connected to the same line card, must not be operated via an electrically
connected supply.
Only a maximum of eight floor repeater terminals and floor repeater displays
can be connected per C-NET line driver (a line card has one line driver
featuring two loops) on fire control panels. This results in the following options:
Fire control panel FC722 supports a total of eight floor repeater terminals
and floor repeater displays.
Fire control panel FC723 supports a total of eight floor repeater terminals
The fire control panel FC724 supports a total of 16 floor repeater terminals
Fire control panel FC726, without an extra line card, supports a total of 16
floor repeater terminals and floor repeater displays.
Fire control panel FC726, with 5 extra line cards, supports a total of 50 floor

Guidelines
l
External power supply is possible with DC or AC.
Mimic display drivers that are not fed by the detector line (separate power
supply) must be electrically isolated from the system voltage.
Several floor repeater terminals and floor repeater displays, which are
connected to the same line card, must not be operated via an electrically
connected supply.
NOTICE
Influencing the earth fault monitoring
Faults
Electrical isolation of the supply unit must be present for devices on the CNET that are fed separately (with the exception of the transponder).
When an external supply unit is used, it must be taken into account that should
the external supply unit fail, the maximum current connection factor increases
significantly (line failure is possible).
When power supply is ensured via the detector line, the high maximum current
connection factor (MK) must be taken into account.
A maximum of 20 mimic display drivers can be connected per fire control

panel.

Line distribution and loop extension

All FS720 fire control panels are designed for C-NET detector lines and have
permanently integrated line cards. The integrated line cards are installed on the
periphery board.
Each integrated line card supports a maximum of 252 addresses and has ports for
two loops. As an option, the number of connectable loops can be doubled. To do
so, the loop extension (C-NET) is equipped. The maximum number of addressable
devices remains limited to 252. The loop extension has no electrical isolation
between the two partial loops.
A maximum of 252 devices can be connected per loop.
The line card (FDnet/C-NET) FCL2001-A1 (can be fitted in the card cages of the
FC723 and FC726) supports a maximum of 252 addresses and four loops or eight
stubs.
The following figures show the line distribution of the line cards in the respective
fire control panels.

Each C-NET line card contains two line drivers, which each support two loops
or four partial loops.
One loop can be split into two loops with the loop extension (C-NET).
The additional line cards (FDnet/C-NET) FCL2001-A1 have the loop extension
permanently built-in by default.
Guidelines
l
A maximum of 252 addresses can be operated per line card on one loop.
The following restrictions apply if more then 126 devices are connected to a
loop (a maximum of 252 may be connected):
No support for turbo isolation

Restricted loop length (see outline quantities tool FX7210 )
A total of 252 addresses are possible per line card

Line tester only supports a maximum of 126 addresses
It is also possible to connect two stubs instead of a loop and mixed variants are
possible.
According to EN 54, a maximum number of 32 detectors may fail in the event of a

fault.
7.1.3.1
Limit values per loop, stub and line card

The table below shows the admissible limit values for the detector line. These limit
values must not be exceeded and must be checked in the planning of the individual
lines.
The limit values per loop, per loop extension (C-NET) and per stub are
independent from each other.
The limit values for both the individual loops or loop extensions and stubs and for
the line card (FDnet/C-NET) must be adhered to.

Line separation function

It has two functions:
l Short-circuit and open line monitoring
l
Allows branching of a stub between two C-NET devices
Short-circuit monitoring
In the case of a short-circuit on the detector line, the line separator automatically
isolates the faulty line section. This is to ensure that, in the case of a short-circuit,
only the faulty line section fails, not the complete detector line.
Open line
If the detector line is a loop, no devices fail in the case of open line.

C-NET alarm devices (e.g. alarm sounder FDS221) are also connected to the
detector line and do not need a separate supply line. Power supply is ensured
by the detector line.
The input/output module FDCIO223 always requires a separate 24 V power

supply.
The following devices can be operated via the C-NET or a separate, electrically

Defining and calculating the cable resistance (R)

The cable resistance R is the resistance value over the complete wire length. This
corresponds to the resistance value for both cable conductor strings.
R = l * R'
Cable resistance []
Cable length (both conductor strings) [km]
R'
Cable resistance per km [/km]
If the cable resistance per km (R') is not known, it can be calculated with the
following formula:
R' = * 2000 / A
(rho)
Specific electric resistance for copper

(constant: 0.0178 mm/m)
2000
2 km in m (both conductors for 1 km cable)
Cable cross-section [mm2]
The cross-section A can be determined from the wire diameter with the following
formula:
A = * (d / 2) 2
Constant (3.1416)
Diameter of the wire [mm]
Calculation example for R' of a copper cable with 0.8 mm

R' = (0.0178 mm/m * 2000) / ((0.8 mm / 2) 2 * 3.1416) = 70.8 /km

Capacitance Cp
Cp is the capacitance between the two conductors per km. The cable
manufacturer usually specifies the capacitance Cp.
Capacitance Cs
Cs is the capacitance per km between one conductor and the other conductor
connected to the first one via the shield.
The line capacitance that is relevant to the detector line refers to Cs. The
reason is a possible ground fault on a detector cable.
The calculations (including those in the outline quantities tool) always refer to the
capacitance Cs.
The following applies for unshielded cables:
Cs = Cp
The following applies for shielded cables:
Cs = 1.8 * Cp (rule of thumb in cases where only Cp is known, and not Cs)

Fire Safety
A6V10210362_i_en_-2014-03-21

Address connection factor (AK)

The address connection factor defines the number of addresses which are
occupied by a detector line device.
l
All detector line devices that are directly connected to the detector line have
one address (AK = 1).
The sounder base DBS720 is not directly connected to the detector line but to
the port for the external alarm indicator. Therefore, it has no address on the
detector line (AK = 0).
External alarm indicators do not have an address on the detector line (AK = 0)
either.
Quiescent current connection factor (RK)

The quiescent current connection factor is a factor for the load of a detector line
device when quiescent.
l
The quiescent current connection factor does not have any influence on the
detector line calculation. It is only required for the calculation of the power
supply.
Controls inversely actuated by a detector such as locking systems must be

taken into account with a quiescent current connection factor of 1 in quiescent
condition.
Maximum current connection factor (MK)

The maximum current connection factor is a factor for the power load of a detector
line device in case of an alarm. It is used to determine the electric load of the line
card.
Determine the maximum current connection factor (MK) and the quiescent current
connection factor (RK) with the aid of the table below or the Quantities tool

A6V10210362_i_en_-2014-03-21
Verification
Verify the maximum current connection factor reserve by means of the diagram. To
do so, proceed as follows:
1. In the diagram for four loops, draw a vertical line at the address connection
factor AK = 18.
2. Draw a horizontal line in the intersection point with the 150 ohm curve.
3. Determine the maximum current connection factor reserve (MK_res). In this
example, it is 258.
4. Check whether the maximum current connection factor reserve (MK_res) is
higher than the calculated maximum current connection factor (MK). In this
example, the maximum current connection factor reserve (MK_res = 258) is
higher than the maximum current connection factor (MK = 200).
a The line may be operated in this way.

Information
The intersection point of AK and the resistance curve must be below the line
'MK_limit' (admissible range for the maximum current connection factor). Any
intersection points above that line are inadmissible.
If the maximum current connection factor reserve (MK_res) is lower than the
calculated maximum current connection factor (MK), the line must not be operated!
In that case, you will have to change the line assignment and calculate again.

The stations in the fire detection system can be networked in the following ways:
l SAFEDLINK (system bus) and/or C-WEB/SAFEDLINK
l
SAFEDLINK, extended: coupling of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via CWEB/LAN (optical Ethernet)
Electric Ethernet (does not comply with EN 54)
SAFEDLINK and Ethernet mixed and/or C-WEB /Ethernet (does not comply
with EN 54)
The stations in the network can have the following connection types/functions:
l Stand-alone station: stand-alone station
l
SAFEDLINK station: station in the SAFEDLINK network
Router station: station in the SAFEDLINK sub-net connected to the CWEB/LAN
Ethernet station: station in the Ethernet sub-network to which no more stations

are connected via SAFEDLINK
GAP station: Station in the network for connecting to a management station via
BACnet client or toCerberus-Engineering-Tool
The GAP station can be configured with the DHCP server function.
8.1.1
The DHCP server automatically issues IP addresses to the clients from a

defined IP address space. This enables a PC to receive local access, for
example.
A route to an external IP router can be defined for the GAP station.

Planning procedure
The following details must be known:
l Operating concept
l Planned system extensions
When planning the networking of the stations, proceed as follows:
1. Determine the locations of the stations.
2. Determine the location of the station with remote transmission for redundant
networking.
3. Determine the type of networking (SAFEDLINK, extended networking via CWEB/LAN, Ethernet or mixed) and the line type.
4. Define the fire control panels that must be equipped with two network modules
(SAFEDLINK).
5. Determine the router stations for extended networking (equipped with Ethernet
switch (MM) FN2008-A1)
6. Define the station for remote access (optional).
8.4
The stations are networked in compliance with EN 54 via the system bus CWEB/SAFEDLINK. Data exchange is possible between all stations connected to
the SAFEDLINK system bus. This makes system-wide operation, control and
alarming possible.

Guidelines
Redundancy and degraded mode
For networking via the C-WEB/SAFEDLINK, each station must be equipped with a
network module (SAFEDLINK).
Redundant networking
The C-WEB/SAFEDLINK system bus wiring is loop-shaped. The stations can
continue to communicate even when the bus has been interrupted at one point or a
short-circuit has occurred.
Degraded mode in the SAFEDLINK system

If the CPU of a station fails, the station can still trigger a collective alarm.
If the networking module fails, the affected station and all of the connected
peripherals (e.g. detector, alarm horns and remote transmission device) are
disconnected from the network. When a second networking module (degraded
mode module) is used, degraded mode is ensured in the system. When the main
module fails, the degraded mode module assumes the most important functions.
Only the following signals are transmitted in degraded mode:
l Degraded fire alarm
l
8.10.1.1
Switching-off of the acoustic alarming devices
Guidelines for a station's redundant SAFEDLINK

connection
A station is incorporated redundantly into the SAFEDLINK network if two network
modules (SAFEDLINK) are used. The stations' redundant SAFEDLINK connection
complies with EN 54 and is specified for the following applications:
l
Fire control panels with more than 512 fire detectors (irrespective of the remote
transmission connection) must be equipped with two network modules
(SAFEDLINK) (EN 54).
Fire control panels with superordinate functions (transmission devices,

alarming devices, master operation) must be equipped with two network
modules (SAFEDLINK) (various country-specific 'Codes of Practice').
Fire control panels monitoring areas larger than 12,000 m2 must be equipped
with two network modules (SAFEDLINK) (VDE 0833-2).

Degraded mode with extended networking

In addition to the guidelines for SAFEDLINK networking, the following must be
noted for the degraded mode characteristics of extended networking:
If a 'Station' is in 'Degraded mode' and has a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM', all
'Stations' on the same sub-net generate a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'. The
'Stations' in other sub-nets which are networked via 'C-WEB/LAN' do not generate
a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
'RT' and 'External sounder'

l
Because the 'RT' has the global 'Visibility', the 'RT' is always activated by a
'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
An 'External sounder' has the 'Station' 'Visibility' as standard and is therefore

not activated by a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM' from another sub-net.
You can change the behavior of the 'External sounder' element by extending the
'Visibility' of the 'External sounder' element to include all 'Stations' on the other subnets or by configuring the global 'Visibility'.
l
An alarm signal can only be switched off within a SAFEDLINK sub-net in

'Degraded mode'. If, for example, a station is in sub-net 1, in 'Degraded mode'
and has an alarm, all the horns in sub-net 2 are also switched on. The horns
that are switched on in sub-net 2 can however no longer be deactivated by the
station in 'Degraded mode' (in sub-net 1).
If horns are connected to the station in 'Degraded mode' in sub-net 1, they can
only be deactivated by a station in sub-net 1.

Guidelines for extended networking

Please observe the following guidelines for extended networking via C-WEB/LAN
with the Ethernet switch (MM) FN2008-A1:
l
Sub-nets with more than 512 fire detectors must be coupled to the C-WEB/LAN
via two FN2008-A1 (EN 54).
Sub-nets with superordinate functions (transmission devices, alarming devices,

master operation) must be coupled to the C-WEB/LAN via two FN2008-A1
(various country-specific 'Codes of Practice').
Sub-nets monitoring areas larger than 12,000 m2 must be coupled to the CWEB/LAN via two FN2008-A1 (VDE 0833-2).
Redundant lines should be routed on separate sections to rule out the

possibility of damage by the same event.

FCI2009-A1)
The monitored outputs of I/O cards FCI2007-A1 and FCI2009-A1 may meet
additional normative requirements of EN 54-13. The terminating resistor needs to
be planned in accordance with precise guidelines in order to meet these
requirements. These processes are described in the chapters that follow.
Observing these planning guidelines for the monitored outputs of I/O cards (remote
transmission) FCI2007-A1 and FCI2009-A1 will ensure that, in the event of an
insidious short-circuit or interruption, a fault will be displayed as soon as the limit
values stipulated by the standard are exceeded. The monitored outputs need to be
calibrated during commissioning in order for monitoring to be performed correctly.
The monitored outputs are connected in different ways, depending on how they are
to be used. The following connection types are available:
l
Load decoupled with diode in accordance with EN 54

With load resistance monitoring in accordance with VdS
Monitored fault output
Planning is performed in different ways depending on the connection type that is

being used. The chapters that follow describe the planning process in detail.
9.1.1
Load decoupled with diode (EN 54)

The connection type with decoupled load in accordance with EN 54 has the
following features:
l Monitoring is only carried out in an inactive status with reverse polarity.
l
The load is decoupled with a diode. Therefore, only the resistance (Reol) at the
end of the line is monitored.

Defining controls
Planning steps
1. Determine the load resistance that will be connected at the output (Rload),
e.g. sounder DS10: Rload = 24 V/0.42 A = 57.2 ohm
2. Define the minimum required voltage of the sounder (Uload), e.g. datasheet
DS10: U = 1929 V -> Uload = 19 V
3. In the dimensioning table, find the row that corresponds to these values and
determine the associated values.
The monitored resistance value must be within the range for the monitoring
resistance, otherwise a fault message will be displayed at the station. You will find
detailed information about this in document Product data A6V10210368.
Dimensioning of load decoupled with diode (EN 54)

Use the dimensioning table to determine the following:
l RcableMax
l The range for the Reol along with its power
Example from dimensioning table 1
l
l
l
l
For Rload > 50 ohm

RcableMax = 1.5 ohm
Reol = 5060 ohm
Peol = 14.8 W
To reduce the required power dissipation of Reol to 0.25 W, Reol can be

decoupled with an additional diode D2.
Make sure the dimensioning is correct:
l
For the reverse voltage and power dissipation in the case of diode D2. The
Schottky diode 1N5819 is recommended (maximum diode reverse voltage >
30 V). The maximum permissible resistance Reol is 3000 ohm with diode D2.
The absolute measurement accuracy is influenced. This has no effect on the
monitoring accuracy.
For the power dissipation and forward current in the case of load decoupling
diode D1. Recommended depending on the power range: E.g. MBR760 for
Rload <1000 ohm and e.g. 1N4448 for Rload >=1000 ohm

Supply concept
11.2.1
Operation with battery backup

The stations are normally operated with a power supply unit and batteries. The
power supply unit feeds the hardware with galvanically isolated system voltage,
simultaneously charging the batteries.
Together with the batteries, the power supply unit assumes the function of an
uninterruptible power supply unit. The batteries are permanently fed via a
monitored output. In case of a mains voltage failure, the batteries take over the
power supply of the control panel without interruption.
The hardware is optimally protected and operational interruptions can be largely
avoided.
This operating mode protects the hardware against the following:
l Voltage loss and undervoltage

Operation without battery back-up

The stations can be operated without batteries. This operating mode is used when
the stations are operated via a network with external buffering, or when battery
backup is omitted.
The battery monitoring function can be deactivated by means of the hardware or
Cerberus-Engineering-Tool.
11.2.3
Operation of the fire terminal with redundant supply

The fire terminal can be supplied with a 24 V voltage through a fire control panel. In
accordance with EN 54, a redundant supply source is required in this case. To
protect against failure, the two feed lines must be guided separately and must not
be placed in the same cable duct. The fire terminal board is provided with two
independent DC supply inputs.

Planning with the aid of these instructions

1. Calculate the operating current of all consumers in both quiescent condition
and alarm condition.
2. Define the battery capacity.
3. Define the type and number of power supply units. This is determined by the
operating current of all consumers and the charging current for the batteries.
11.3.1
Calculate the operating current of all consumers

To calculate the operating current, all internal and external consumers must be
taken into account.
All components installed in the station are internal consumers. Some examples of
external consumers are:

Operating currents of the consumers

The sum of the operating current values can be calculated as follows:
IR total = (no. of consumers * IR)
IA total = (no. of consumers * IA)
IR = operating current in quiescent condition [A] (quiescent current)

IA = operating current in alarm condition [A] (alarm current)

Battery capacity in [Ah]
IR total
Sum of operating current of all consumers in quiescent condition [A]

tR
Desired emergency power supply duration in quiescent condition [h]
tA
Desired emergency power supply duration in alarm condition [h] (standard 0.5
h)
kdis
Correction factor for discharge

l kdis = 1.1 with 12-hour emergency power supply duration. In the event of
a longer emergency power supply duration, the factor can be omitted
kage
Correction factor for aging

l kage = 1.25 if the desired emergency power supply duration is 24 h
(according to DIN VDE 0833, part 2). In all other cases, the factor can be
omitted.
Example
KBatt
= ((IR total * tR ) * kdis * kage ) + ((IA total * tA ) * kdis * kage )

For 12 h emergency power supply duration:
= ((0.9 A * 12 h) * 1.1 * 1.25) + ((3.5 A * 0.5 h) * 1.1 * 1.25) = 17.2 Ah
= ((0,9 A * 24 h) * 1.25) + ((3.5 A * 0.5 h) * 1.25) = 29.2 Ah
= (0.9 A * 72 h) + (3.5 A * 0.5 h) = 66.5 Ah

WARNING
Switching batteries in parallel
Risk of explosion and fire
Never connect batteries in parallel!

If you need more power, you must use batteries with a higher capacity.
For CE conformity reasons, only UL94-V2 batteries or better may be used.

l
To achieve the system voltage of 24 V, two batteries must be connected in

series.
Batteries are not included in the scope of supply of the stations and must be
ordered separately.
The battery capacity determines the charging current. The charging current
must be taken into account when calculating the power supply.
The dimensions of the batteries are needed to determine the housing type.
Restriction of the battery dimensions

l
The permitted dimensions of the batteries may be restricted by existing options

(e.g. event printer in operating add-on).
Batteries with different dimensions, which are not permitted, may not be
suitable for the selected housing.

Determining the power supply of the stations

The power supply is determined by the total current consumption (I total).
The total current consumption depends on the following factors:
l
Operating current in alarm condition

Operating current in quiescent condition
Charging current of the battery
In alarm condition the batteries may be uncharged. For this reason the total current
consumption for the alarm condition and the quiescent condition must be
calculated separately. The higher of the two total current consumption values is
taken into consideration for selecting the power supply.
Calculating the total current consumption in alarm condition

The power supply in alarm condition must be calculated so that the higher current
consumption of all consumers can be covered. As only a small percentage is for
charging the battery, or the battery may be uncharged, the charging current does
not have to be taken into account.
Itotal_A = 1.1 * IA total
Calculating the total current consumption in quiescent condition

The power supply in quiescent condition must be calculated so that recharging of
the battery is ensured. For this reason the charging current is included.
Itotal_R = (1.1 * IR total) + IL
Calculating the charging current of the battery

According to EN 54-4, a discharged battery must be recharged to 80 % of its
capacity within 24 hours. The following calculation therefore applies for the
charging current.
IL = KBatt / 20

Defining operating units and add-ons

All stations are provided with an operating unit as a standard feature. On stations in
the Comfort and Large housing, the operating unit is in the upper half of the
housing.
The type designations given for operating units and operating add-ons are not

Admissible battery dimensions

The table below lists the permissible battery types for the different station housings.
If the station housing is too small for the batteries needed (e.g. as a result of having
installed options), the batteries can be installed in a separate empty housing.
The maximum admissible battery dimensions can be limited by options
(e.g. event printer). In this case different batteries or a larger housing must be
selected.

Guidelines
l
A separate circuit with a separate fuse must be available for the mains supply
line.
The mains fuse rating must be 10 A.

The mains fuse for the fire control panel must be marked explicitly.
l
l
l
l
The line cross-section of the mains supply line must be 3 x 1.5 mm2 at
minimum (NYM-J cable).
All supply lines must be realized from above or behind.
The mains cable must be wired to the mains separator terminals from above on
the left of the housing.
The mains supply lines must not be laid inside the EMC-critical zone.
13.3
If the batteries are built in a separate housing, the mains line may be fed from
below.
Separate housings for the batteries must be mounted in the immediate vicinity
of the station.
Protection elements
Electro-magnetic influence and over-voltages may lead to faults in the fire detection
installation. Protection elements minimize these faults.
All stations are equipped with fine protection and EMC filters in the factory. This
applies to:
l
l
All inputs and outputs

All lines leading away from the stations
If need be, protection elements for primary and intermediate protection must be
added by the costumer. These elements must be mounted at the zone limits (EMC
zone), not inside the stations.
Other possible measures by the customer

l
Surge protectors must be fitted in installations that are at particular risk of

lightning.
In the case of excessive HF mains overlapping, mains filters must be installed

in the feed line.

Installation instructions
Lightning protection and voltage surge protection

NOTICE
Lightning protection and voltage surge protection is not present or is not present
to a sufficient degree.
Disclaimer in the event of damage.
Appoint certified specialists.

Implement measures and recommendations from document A6V10225306.
Note the following conditions.
If measures are not carried out, the new liability situation must be documented
in line with the law, e.g. including the customer's signature.
In accordance with the Product Liability Act, the customer and/or operator of
the fire detection installation is considered a layperson who cannot evaluate the
need for addition lightning protection and voltage surge protection measures for
fire detection installations. The installer of the fire detection installation must
therefore draw the attention of the customer and/or operator of the fire
detection installation to this requirement.
Lightning protection and voltage surge protection equipment for electronic

devices and installations may be planned and installed only by certified
specialists.
The customer is responsible for arranging equipment for lightning protection

and voltage surge protection.
All local standards, guidelines and specifications must be observed when

carrying out measures.
You will find detailed information about lightning protection and voltage surge
protection in document A6V10225306.
Installation
Twisted cables are recommended for external supply lines and lines leading to
alarm devices.
13.4
This chapter contains instructions for preparing for installation.
Installation of the C-NET devices

The local distribution of C-NET devices must be known for commissioning and
maintenance.
l
Before using or connecting an C-NET device, the serial number must always
be glued to the layout plan. The sticker with the serial number can be found on
the housing bottom of the C-NET device.
