12.1.7 SOLAS Detection Zones
Note: Applies to Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-200M only.
A detection zone configured as SOLAS Detection Zone (Safety of
Life at Sea), has a two-minute delay from when a Point enters an
alarm condition until the associated Detection Zone initiates the
activation of the configured Fire Alarm Devices (FADs) and outputs.
During this period a countdown timer is shown in the panel display
and the user has the ability to block the activation of FADs and/or
outputs during the two minute period.
The Activate Outputs button can be used to activate the FADs and
outputs that are in this two minute transition period or that have
previously been blocked.
It is also possible to configure a SOLAS Detection Zone to
immediately activate certain FADs and outputs, without the two
minute delay. These FADs and outputs will thus start to operate at
the moment the first Point in a Detection Zone enters the Alarm
condition.
The Silence button can be used to control the FADs independently
of the Block operation. The Silence function will affect all FADs that
have been activated.
Autroprime also has a Resound function that will reverse the effect
of Silence.
12.1.8 Silent, Small and Large Alarm – Overview
A few differences can be found in national guidelines regarding
alarm organization and output delays. To be able to meet these
guidelines you can select between different types of detection zones
and control the activation of outputs.
Three “levels” have been defined regarding the progress of a fire
alarm situation that can be utilized to activate outputs. If delays are
activated, the normal situation will be that all activations will take
place at the ‘Large Alarm’ level, both signalling the fire brigade
(FARE), sounders (FADs) and any other delayed output (FPE).
Activating outputs (FPE) at other levels may be obtained selecting
these levels through configuration.
Onboard (BSA-200) outputs may be configured to be dedicated
outputs for the Silent Alarm and Small Alarm levels. In this case they
will only be activated at these levels.
The table on the next page indicates which levels are available for
different types of detection zones.
