Clear Concept

The ﬁ re detection control panel BC216-1 constitutes

the basic component of Series BC216 and has been

designed for use in small and mid-sized systems. De-

pending on its conﬁ guration, it provides the following

features:

• The Conventional Detector Interface GIF8-1 permits

the connection of automatic detectors and manual

call points in conventional technology as well as spe-

cial detectors with contact output. Individual detector

identiﬁ cation can be achieved by means of an optio-

nal address module.

• Detectors and modules in ADM loop technology can

be connected to the Loop Interface LIF64-1. Depen-

ding on the parameterisation, either the Apollo/Disco-

very protocol or the System Sensor/200 protocol is

used to achieve bi-directional data transfer.

• The BC216-1 is able to control up to 252 detectors

or modules, 144 detector zones, 128 actuations, 10

transmission devices and 99 alarming devices.

• Since the BC216-1 is compatible to LST ﬁ re detec-

tion control panels of previous generations, the ex-

change or expansion of existing systems in conventi-

onal technology or ADM loop technology is possible.

The existing detector installation can be used without

changes.

• The optional Fire Brigade Interface FWI2-1 serves

for the connection of two independent transmitting

devices for a direct interconnection to a designated

alarm respondent (e.g., the ﬁ re brigade) as well as

for the connection of a country-speciﬁ c ﬁ re brigade

control unit. By using the Fire Brigade Interface Addi-

tional Board FWZ2-1, a line supervision for both of the

transmitting devices is accomplished.

• Customizable outputs and logical combinations of

detectors and detector zones for the activation of

external controls and alarming devices facilitate ma-

ximum ﬂ exibility. Thus, no additional expenses arise

for external relays, logic gates or timers. Thanks to

the wide range of parameterisation possibilities, indi-

vidual requirements even under the most difﬁ cult am-

bient conditions can be combined into a reasonable

ﬁ re protection strategy.

• By integrating input and output modules on any positi-

on in the loop you can realize enablements or disable-

ments as well as control tasks in your system without

having to care for additional wires.

• The free combination of detectors and modules into

logic sectors allows for the joint operation of deﬁ ned

parts of the system even beyond loop limits. Up to

199 sectors can be controlled by the BC216-1.

• The use of unshielded loop cables allows for cost-

saving and uncomplicated installation as well as for

the possibility of reusing the existing cabling.

• The LC text display shows events with the full infor-

mation such as ﬂ oor, room identiﬁ cation as well as

date and time. This allows for quick and targeted

reaction in the event of a ﬁ re as well as for easy main-

tenance.

• An event memory allows for the display of the latest

500 events at any time, including all required informa-

tion. Thus, all system conditions and user operations

that occurred are documented in a clearly laid out

way.

• At a central processing board failure, the diversiﬁ ed

redundancy concept ensures secure alarm recogniti-

on.

• The processor-monitored power supply ensures per-

manent surveillance and charging of the batteries.

This way, even during a mains power failure the un-

troubled and uninterrupted operation (for more than

72 hours depending on the design) is guaranteed.

• Three hierarchized authorization levels for operation

and parameterisation facilitate a high degree of secu-

rity against unauthorized access.

• The control panel is easily operated menu-driven via

the display and operating ﬁ eld. Clear instructions on

the display guide the user during commissioning,

operation and maintenance.

• The parameter data can be entered either on the con-

trol panel via the display and operating ﬁ eld or via a

PC keyboard or, in a more comfortable way, created

on a PC by means of the parameter setup software

PARSOFT and loaded into the control panel. Thus, a

quick and efﬁ cient transfer of the system conﬁ gurati-

on into the control panel is guaranteed.

• AUTO setup facilitates parameterisation when the

control panel is commissioned or expanded and thus

helps to save time.

• After commissioning, the panel‘s basic functions im-

mediately make it ready for operation. A monitored

siren output and dry relay contacts for alarm and fault

are available by default.

The ﬂ at wall mount cabinet allows for an easy mounting

in virtually any place of the building. Thanks to its mo-

dern, ageless design, architectural requirements and

demands of the respective regulations are ideally com-

bined. The compact design allows for the accommoda-

tion of the function modules, the auxiliary modules and

batteries up to 22Ah apart from the central processing

board in the standard case. If a higher battery capacity

is needed, an auxiliary case of the same design is avai-

lable. The BC216-1 thus stands for modularity and easy

expansion.

This product complies with all relevant standards of

EN 54 and is VdS-certiﬁ ed. In addition, the product also

holds several country-speciﬁ c approvals and certiﬁ ca-

tes. LST‘s high quality level is secured by a permanent-

ly monitored quality management system certiﬁ ed to

ISO 9001.
