2 Fire detection control panel Series BC216
The construction of a typical fire detection system, the most important features of the fire detection
control panels Series BC216 and the connection of the peripheral components of a fire detection sys-
tem to the fire detection control panel are described in this chapter.
2.1 Typical construction of a fire detection system with control panel BC216-1
Figure 2: View of a typical fire detection system constructed with the fire detection control panel BC216-1
The system consists of
the fire detection control panel BC216-1 including the power supply,
the automatic and non-automatic fire detectors that are combined into detector zones,
the acoustic and/or optic alarming devices,
the transmitting device linked to a designated alarm respondent,
fire control systems, information devices and information systems.
The fire detection control panel is the compact processing unit of a fire detection system - all informa-
tion from the system is received here. Automatic fire detectors that react to signs of fire such as smoke,
radiation, heat, etc., as well as manual call points are combined in detector zones and are wired to the
control panel. The data transmitted by the fire detectors are analyzed and rated in the fire detection
control panel. The fire detection control panel decides if the situation is to be rated as a fire alarm.
Does the control panel decide for "fire alarm", the alarming devices and the fire control systems are
automatically activated by the fire detection control panel, and the alarm is transmitted to the public
fire report post.
Controls that are activated by the fire detection control panel can comprise single functions (e.g.,
switching off the ventilation) as well as elements combined to zones (e.g., several door closers in a fire
area).
