General system description
General System Description
It is assumed that the 8000C fire alarm control panel and the associated system equipment have been installed in accordance with the manufacturer instructions and guidance given in BS5839 Part 1. The System 8000C is suitable for installation in commercial and industrial facilities. The modular design of products allows the fire detection and alarm system to be expanded to meet future customer needs. The application of intelligent fire detectors connect to the panels analog loop provide an early and reliable warning of fire. An analog loop can have up to 127 devices and each device can be assigned to up to 127 zones, with an overall loop cable length of up to one kilometre. An analog loop is a two-wire circuit that is monitored at both ends. The 8000C fire alarm control panel automatically registers the wiring of the loop and determines the logical addresses of the individual devices on the analog loop. A range of devices can be connected to an analog loop circuit, such as fire detectors, technical alarm modules (TAL) and transponders. The transponders are loop devices with programmable inputs and outputs, for activating and monitoring external equipment such as display panels, alarm devices, door closer unit and other equipment. The network module allows up to 31 fire alarm control panels (8000C) to be connected in a network. At any fire alarm control panel in the network it is possible to view indications of fire events of the entire networked system and operate essential controls under emergency conditions and operate other control functions, such as disablement of zone. Events such as fire, fault, disablement and others events are transmitted to all fire alarm control panels in the network. These Operating Instructions are intended to aid users of the 8000C fire alarm control panel and should be read in conjunction with the instructions provided by your specialised installer. All the documentation associated with the fire alarm system should be kept together near the fire alarm control panel. If you have any questions, please consult your specialised installer. The operation of the fire alarm control panel may only be carried out by authorised and trained persons observing safety precautions and, if necessary, in collaboration with the other organisations (e.g. fire department).

User Responsibility
1.1
User Responsibility
It is recommended that the persons responsible for the fire alarm system should become familiar with: how to operate the controls. and interpret the indications given. Daily BS 5839:Part 1:1988, states that the system should be inspected daily to ensure that a normal indication is given at the control and indicating equipment and: that any previously indicated fault and disablement condition has received appropriate attention. all the system events are entered into the Log Book for future reference. that the use of the area(s) inspected has not changed since the system was designed. and no unsafe practices that could lead to fire are being undertaken. Weekly A different Fire detector or Manual Call Point of the system should be tested to ensure the system is capable of operating under alarm condition. The operation of the alarm sounders should be checked to also remind those occupying the premises that there is a fire alarm system with a particular sound.
The test should be performed at a regular time to avoid confusion between a test and a genuine fire alarm. Quarterly At quarterly intervals the system should be inspected and a trained maintenance engineer should carry out any work necessary.
Contact your servicing organisation for help with service and maintenance work.

If the switching time for Alarm delay / Verify alarm has been programmed in the customer data by the installer, the first switch-on time and the first switch-off time is accepted as valid switching time. The additional switching time is entered under this menu option Time functions are not valid. Exceptional days can be specified in the customer data programming on which the automatic delay alarms / Verify Alarm times programmed by the installer will not take effect.
Example: Customer data programming: Operator's entry under this menu option: Valid switching time: Switch on 06.30, switch off 21.30 Switch on 10.00, switch off 15.00 Switch on 06.30, switch off 15.00
Please consult your installer to find out whether the function Delay/Verify has been programmed in the customer data of your fire alarm control panel. If this function is not activated, e.g. for technical reasons or other requirements, the functions described in this section can not be used.

5.1.1 Analog loop functions

Using this function the subassemblies of the fire alarm control panel, including the analog loops with its connected zones and loop devices can be Enabled/Reset or Disabled using the keyboard. The Loop State is indicated on the panels display.
Fig. 43: Entering the analog loop number
(cdm358)
Analog loop refers to: all analog loop modules installed in the fire alarm control panel (including the analogue loop circuit with all associated its devices) all 4-zone-modules included in the fire alarm control panel (including all zones and devices connected to this module) certain modules such as relays or the interface on the basic/peripheral module Definition of Analog Loop identification number The loop identification number for a 8000C Panel will be as follows: Where the Analog loop module in fitted in the slot of the Field device module, this is Loop 121. The loop number is derived from the individual subassemblies of the 8000C fire alarm control panel. The subassemblies can be switched on/off using the internal analog (primary) loop number, which is entered on the panel keyboard and is also programmed with the customer data editor. This internal primary loop number is composed of the panel number, the slot and the subassembly number.

Operation Enable (reset) or disable an Analog loop Enter the number of the Sub-assembly analog loop number which is to be enabled (reset and press the Enter function key Enter the desired number (1 = Enable/reset, 2 = Disable) or make a selection using the buttons and press the Enter function key
In case of an input error, pressing the Zone key can erase the display and the sub-assembly number can be re-entered.
When a Sub-assembly, such as 4-zone module or an analog loop module is disabled, all zones and fire devices connected to the module are disabled. Disabled fire devices and call points will not activate an alarm in the event of a fire. The equipment connected to outputs, such as alarm devices, will not be activated in the event a fire.

Operation
5.1.2 Sensor functions (loop)

This function allows sensing elements of the multi-sensor fire device on a loop to be switched off (disabled). For example it is possible to switch off (disable) all O sensing element (Optical = photoelectric sensor) or all I sensing element (I = ionisation smoke sensors) or in OHI multi-sensor fire devices the OI sensing element installed on an analog loop. Disabling sensing elements is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire devices. These sensing elements are only fitted on two or three different type of sensors. If all the OI sensing elements are required to be switched off (disabled) on the loop then select 2. OI Sensor off. For OHI multi-sensor detectors on a loop the OI sensing elements are switched off (disabled). The third element remains active, which is the heat sensor element. Disabling the heatsensing element (H sensors) is not possible.

O detector T detector I detector OT detector OTI detector
Optical fire detector with a smoke sensing element (optical sensor) Heat detector with a heat sensing element (thermal sensor) Ionisation smoke sensing element (Ionisation sensor) Multi-sensor fire detectors with two sensing elements (OT= Optical and thermal sensor) Multi-sensor fire detectors with three sensing elements (OTI= Optical-, Thermal- and ionisation sensors)
Switching off sensors is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire detectors. If multisensor fire detectors and standard detectors (detectors with a single sensor) are installed together in an analog loop, only the sensor in multi-sensor detectors are switched off.
Page 45
Operation Example to switch off (disable) sensors on analog loop Press key "2" to select the `Sensor function (loop) or use the scroll keys to highlight and enter the selection. Enter the analog loop number on which the sensors are required to be switched. Enter the number of the desired function (1 = O sensor off, 2 = OI sensor off, 3 = I sensor off, 4 = all sensors on) or make the selection using the scroll keys and press Enter key.
The switching off (disabling) of sensors is only possible for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire detectors. Note only the selected sensing element is switched off (disabled).
Switching on/off not permitted The switching on/off of the detector sensing elements on an analog loop is indicated on the display of the fire alarm control panel. If sensors have already been switched off on an analog loop and there are no further sensors to switch off, then the display will show a message "Switch on/Disablement not permitted". This will be the case for example if I sensors have been switched off and there are no I sensors left to switch off or a zone disablement has been detected. In an analog loop, it is generally possible to execute a disconnection function, e.g. disable detectors or call points, when no further lower-order disable functions have been carried out. That is when individual detectors within a zone have been disabled, this zone cannot be additionally disabled, as the disabled functions for this zone has been carried out. However, it is possible to switch off other zones of this analog loop in which sensors/detectors have not been disabled. In order to change the existing sensor switching status, all switched off (disabled) detector sensors must first be switched on, using the command Àll sensors on. After all detector sensors have been switched on, a further switching off (disablement) can be performed.

Service Level
5.1.3 Sensor functions (zone/detector)

This function allows individual devices or entire zones to be switched off on an analog loop.
By entering the zone and/or detector number(s) and by making the required `switch off/on the appropriate device(s) are switched. If a zone number is entered (device number = 0) and the desired sensor switch-off is performed on all the multi-sensor detectors in this zone. All sensors must first be switched on in the zone before desired sensors can be switched off. (See also above Sensor function loop)
Fig. 45: Sensor function related to zones/detectors
(cdm360)
Switching off sensors is only applicable for OH and OHI multi-sensor fire detectors. If multisensor fire detectors and single function detectors are installed on an analog loop, then only the detectors having multi-sensors are switched off.
If a switch-off has already been performed, e.g. the sensors of a zone have been switched off, the zone or the entire analog loop cannot be subsequently switched off. It is possible to switch off other zones of this analog loop in which detectors or sensors have not been switched off.
