PLus loop of the ESSER fire
alarm control panels.
Features
• Designed for optimal operation on FACP Compact, IQ8Control and FlexES Control
• With multisensor fire detectors for the detection of all types of fires, even under the most difficult operating
conditions.
• Detector with and without loop isolator
• Wiring in loop and spur combination
• Maximum number of detectors with cable lengths of up to 3,500 m (I-Y (St) Yn x 2 x 0.8 mm or similar)
• Up to 127 detectors and detector zones per loop installation
• Up to 32 detectors per zone
• Free wiring of display and control elements with software-based function assignment
• Optional automatic or interactive detector address allocation
• Fixed address assignment of detector location, even after detectors have been replaced or added
• Localization of wire breaks and short circuits on loop
• Detector-LED used as alarm indicator and as an indicator for detectors in service
• Adaptation to changing operating conditions
• Dedicated LED for indicating operation (green LED)
• Disconnection of individual detectors, detector zones and detection areas
• Disconnection of individual sensors or several sensors at once within a multisensor fire detector; either
manually or depending on programmed time of the day
• Compensation of changing levels of air pressure, humidity, smoke concentration according to the double
chamber principle
• Electronic compensation of long-term influences like aging or pollution
• Constant alarm sensitivity of multisensor fire detector for all types of fire
• Large signal to noise ratio due to the special design of the sensors and the electronics to suppress
electromagnetic interference
• Reliable false alarm suppression high immunity against false alarms by means of timed evaluation of
different sensor criteria
• Signal patterns not typical for fires are eliminated by using special filter algorithms
• Automatic self-monitoring of detector electronics
• Continuous loop monitoring even during short-circuits through isolating the relevant segment
• Automatic monitoring of all sensors to guarantee operational capacity and correct condition
• Short-circuit and wire break tolerant
• Alarm decision directly in the detector and forwarding of the alarms even if concentrated processing nodes fail
• Fail-safe circuit activated if communication fails
Maintenance
• Automatic maintenance request
• Heat detector identification through a black circle on the light transmission plate
• Multisensor gas detector identification through a golden loop on the circle transmission plate
• Operating time-, alarm- and fault counter in each detector
• Automatic, cyclic loop check
• Complete status interrogation from the control panel
• Operating data from all detectors in a network is collected using the service PC and via the fieldbus and
control panel interface, even without the FACP
Comprehensive range of accessories
• Standard detector base and relay base
• Base adapter for ceiling mounting
• Kit for suspended ceiling mounting
• Dust cover for fire detector or detector base
