By upgrading the control panel, the BC216-1 can be

integrated into a Global Security System network

(GSSnet): the BCnet216 is a comprehensive control

panel network that is made up of sectional control pa-

nels Series BC216 and works as an entity beyond the

boundaries of the individual loops and sectional control

panels. The system is designed modularly and can be

expanded nearly without limitation, according to future

demands.

The maximum size of a BCnet216 comprises 127 net-

work members, 9700 detector zones, 9700 actuati-

ons, 999 alarming devices as well as 99 transmitting

devices.

A variety of peripheral devices can be connected to the

ﬁ re detection control panel BC216-1:

• Fire brigade key safe

• Fire brigade control unit

• Acoustic and optical signaling devices

• External protocol printer

• Remote display and operating panels

• Remote indication unit

• Actuations

• Electronic monitoring system

• Transmitting device for the actuation of pagers via

ESPA protocol

• Modules for remote parameterisation and remote

maintenance via computer newtork, modem or GSM

connection

• Transmitter module for the transmission of messages

via SMS or e-mail

– and much more.

If required, the BC216-1 can be easily expanded to

an extinguishing control panel LC216-1 according to

EN 12094-1. The panel can control up to 8 ﬂ ooding

zones in one extinguishing system, without hardware

redundancy.

The function of the extinguishing control panel is fully

integrated into the ﬁ re detection control panel BC216-1,

a combined operation is therefore possible.

The LC216-1 is certiﬁ ed to EN 54-2, EN 54-4,

EN 12094-1 and VdS as a pure extinguishing control

panel and as a combined ﬁ re detection and extinguis-

hing control panel.
