of the system concerned.
A fire detection installation is a software-controlled system with an extremely high
level of availability and a very low probability of failure. However, faults leading to
non-availability can still occur and if it does fail it will take time to repair.
There are various things that the operator can and must do to influence the
reliability of a fire detection installation throughout its entire life cycle:
● The effectiveness of a fire detection installation is determined by the fire
detection concept and whether this is suitable and conforms to the relevant
standards.
● The quality of the fire detection installation is directly related to whether it is
serviced and modernized and whether the maintenance intervals are
respected.
The operator's obligations are determined on the basis of various standards and
directives including, for example, the following:
EN 54, NF S61-933 (FR), VDE 0833-1 (DE)…
You will find an analysis of fire detection installation reliability in the following
document:

2.5.1 Responsibility of the operator

A fire detection installation is a piece of safety engineering equipment that protects
people, buildings and equipment through early detection of fires and alarming.
The fire detection installation has to be maintained in order to satisfy this
requirement. Within the European Union, the maintenance intervals are defined in
the EN 54 standard and/or are also governed by national and local requirements.
Servicing is required in order for the fire detection installation to function correctly.
The fire detection installation consists of components the function of which may be
impaired by ambient conditions and aging.
Servicing of a fire detection installation is governed by the EN 54 standard.
Manufacturer's recommendations
The following work should be carried out at regular intervals to service the fire
detection system:
● Visual check for damage on the devices or possible sources of error.
● Quarterly inspection of system parts including test triggering of fire alarm.
● Annual maintenance including inspection work, checking the power supply and
emergency power supply.
● Replacement of batteries by the date stated by the battery manufacturer at the
latest.
● Keep a logbook to document system messages, isolations and servicing work.
The frequency of inspections and service work is dependent on the ambient

conditions.
If using fire detection systems in critical ambient conditions, e.g. in rooms with a
high concentration of dust, high air humidity or large temperature fluctuations,
shorter inspection intervals may be needed.

Networking
FS720 fire control panels and fire terminals are networked by default via the
system bus 'C-WEB / SAFEDLINK'. The system bus enables system-wide alarming
and access to every single device.
Up to 32 stations can be networked redundantly via a SAFEDLINK network.
Several SAFEDLINK networks can be connected to form one extended network. A
maximum of 64 stations can be networked in an extended network.
Detector lines
The FC720 fire control panels support the C-NET detector line. In addition to the
detectors and input/output modules, indicating and operating devices may be
connected to this detector line. These devices facilitate system-wide access to the
most important functions. Power supply for these devices is ensured by the
detector line. An additional supply installation is thus not necessary. The one
exception to this is the transponder FDCIO223, which needs its own supply.
Fire control panels FC723 and FC726 can also be fitted with module bus cards to
support migration processes, other detector lines and I/O cards.
Configuration and operation

The FS720 system is configured with the PC software FXS7212 (Engineering Tool
Cerberus Engineering Tool). A simple system can also be configured on the station
using the 'Auto-configuration' function.

4.3 Extended networking

An Ethernet switch (modular) FN2012 can be used to consolidate several
networked FS720 fire detection systems to make one composite network (C-
WEB/LAN).
This C-WEB/LAN is connected via an Ethernet switch (modular) to the individual C-
WEB/SAFEDLINK sub-nets in a loop by means of fiber optic cables.
This allows smaller sub-nets to be networked over large distances using a fast
main network. Individual buildings can therefore be connected to a network as sub-
networks, for example.
25 | 182
System overview
4 Extended networking
4.3.1 Extended redundant networking

To retain redundant networking in an ↑ extended network in accordance with
EN 54, all network nodes in a sub-net must be connected to the C-WEB/LAN via
two Ethernet switches (modular) or ↑ stations. Stations are configured as routers
and monitor one another. If the active ↑ router station fails, the ↑ standby router
station automatically takes over its function.
This type of redundant networking is used for sub-networks with one or more of the
following criteria:
● More than 512 C-NET detectors
● On a monitored surface of more than 12,000 m2
● If a station takes over system-wide remote transmission

Guidelines
● External, electrically isolated power supply is possible with DC or AC.
● Mimic display drivers that are not fed by the ↑ detector line (external power
supply) must be electrically isolated from the system voltage.
● Multiple externally supplied mimic display drivers, floor repeater terminals, and
floor repeater displays which are connected to the same ↑ line card must each
be operated via a separate electrically isolated supply.
NOTICE
Influencing the earth fault monitoring
Faults
● Electrical isolation for the system supply and other external supplies must be
present for devices on the C-NET that are fed separately (with the exception
of the transponder).
● When an external supply unit is used, it must be taken into account that should
the external supply unit fail, the ↑ maximum current connection factor
increases significantly (line failure is possible).
● When power supply is ensured via the detector line, the high maximum current
connection factor (MK) must be taken into account.
● A maximum of 20 mimic display drivers can be connected per fire control
panel.
6.1.5 Input/output module FDCIO223

The input/output module FDCIO223 is operated on the C-NET and has two
inputs/outputs. The FDCIO223 may be configured either for the operation of
↑ collective detector lines or for controlling sounders.
Mixed operation is possible as of FDCIO223 ES ≥40. 1
The figure below shows the integration of the input/output module FDCIO223 in the
fire detection system.

Connectable detector generations

The following detector generations can be connected to the input/output module
FDCIO223:
● Collective detector line configured as Siemens/Cerberus PRO:
– MS6 detectors
– MS7 detectors
– MS9 detectors
– AlgoRex collective DS11
– SIGMACON (SIGMASYS GMT)
– Special detectors
● Collective detector line configured as SynoLINE300:
– Synova300
– Third-party products in accordance with 'Industrial conventional'
If multiple protocol detectors are operated on a collective detector line, a short-

circuit on the line is indicated as an 'open line' error.
It is not possible to operate Siemens/Cerberus PRO detectors and SynoLINE300

detectors simultaneously on the same ↑ detector line.
The input/output module FDCIO223 cannot be used for hierarchized evacuation

control when it has ES <40. 1

6.1.6 Functionality
6.1.6.1 Danger levels

↑ Automatic fire detectors recognize fire phenomena (e.g., smoke) and transmit
this information to the control panel in the form of ↑ danger levels (0…3).
Manual call points can transmit only the danger levels 0 and 3 to the control panel.
6.1.6.2 Diagnosis levels

All C-NET devices have a comprehensive self-diagnosis. That means they are
largely self-monitored or transmit a message to the control panel as soon as an
incident or fault occurs. In self-diagnosis there are the following levels:
Diagnosis Meaning Possible cause

level
0 ● Trouble-free
● No impairment
1 ● Observe information Slightly soiled
● No impairment of the
function
● The device should be
checked occasionally

● Detection is no longer
ensured.
Table 12: Diagnosis levels of the devices
The device is fully functional at diagnosis levels 0…2.

Detector lines
6.1.6.3 Line separation function

All C-NET devices have an integrated ↑ line separator.
It has two functions:
● Short-circuit and open line monitoring
● Allows branching of a stub between two C-NET devices
Short-circuit monitoring
In the case of a short-circuit on the ↑ detector line, the line separator automatically
isolates the faulty line section. This is to ensure that, in the case of a short-circuit,
only the faulty line section fails, not the complete detector line.
Open line
If the detector line is a ↑ loop, no devices fail in the case of open line.
Branching off from a stub

● Only one ↑ stub is permitted between two C-NET devices.
● If there is more than one stub between two C-NET devices, a line separator
must be fitted between the stubs.
● One stub is permitted at the start and end of the loop, between the connection
terminals of the line card and the first line device.

6.1.6.4 Connecting external alarm indicators

Some ↑ C-NET devices have an output where normally an ↑ external alarm
indicator is connected. The output can, however, also be used for any other
controls. The output for the external alarm indicator is controlled by the fire control
panel and is freely configurable.
Depending on the configuration, the output is activated for the external alarm
indicator if the following is true:
● The connected detector is in ↑ danger level 2 or 3 (together with the internal
alarm indicator).
● The assigned ↑ zone has triggered an alarm or ↑ pre-alarm.
● The assigned control is active.
The following external alarm indicators are available:
● DJ119x/FDAI9x – external alarm indicators that must be connected to the
detector to be displayed.
● FDCAI221 – addressable alarm indicator that can be assigned to any cause
using a control.

6.1.7 Line distribution and loop extension

All FS720 fire control panels are designed for ↑ C-NET detector lines and have
permanently integrated ↑ line cards. The integrated line cards are installed on the
periphery board.
Each integrated line card supports a maximum of 252 addresses and has ports for
two loops. As an option, the number of connectable loops can be doubled. To do
so, the loop extension (C-NET) is equipped. The maximum number of addressable
devices remains limited to 252. The loop extension has no electrical isolation
between the two partial loops.
A maximum of 252 devices can be connected per loop.
The line card (FDnet/C-NET) FCL2001-A1 (can be fitted in the card cages of the
FC723 and FC726) supports a maximum of 252 addresses and four loops or eight
stubs.
The following figures show the line distribution of the line cards in the respective
fire control panels.

Table 13: Overview of line distribution C-NET
Properties
● Each C-NET line card contains two line drivers, which each support two loops
or four partial loops.
● One loop can be split into two loops with the loop extension (C-NET).
● The additional line cards (FDnet/C-NET) FCL2001-A1 have the loop extension
permanently built-in by default.
Guidelines
● A maximum of 252 addresses can be operated per line card on one loop.
● The following restrictions apply if more then 126 devices are connected to a
loop (a maximum of 252 may be connected):
– Line separation is not supported
– Restricted loop length (see outline quantities tool FX7210 )
– A total of 252 addresses are possible per line card
– Line tester only supports a maximum of 126 addresses
● It is also possible to connect two stubs instead of a loop and mixed variants are
possible.
According to EN 54, a maximum number of 32 detectors may fail in the event of a

fault.

As well as the number of devices that can be connected to a stub, the maximum
current connection factor is also limited. This ensures standard-compliant
protection against creeping line interruptions as per EN54-13.
● The total of the maximum current connection factor [MK] of all devices on a
stub must not exceed 64.
Load limitation for sub-stubs
As well as the number of devices and sub-stubs that can be connected in one
loop, the maximum current connection factor of the devices in a sub-stub is also
limited. This ensures standard-compliant protection against creeping line
interruptions as per EN54-13.
● The total of the maximum current connection factor [MK] of all devices on a
sub-stub must not exceed 32.

6.1.9 Degraded mode in the C-NET

When communication between the C-NET line card and the main processor of the
fire control panel fails, the C-NET detector line is in degraded mode operation. The
C-NET line card assumes the most important functions relating to detection and
alarming in degraded mode. A fire alarm occurring during degraded mode is called
a degraded fire alarm.
Detection is still ensured in degraded mode. However, this is only possible with
collective lines. This means that in the case of a degraded fire alarm only the
detector line can be identified, not the detector triggering alarm.
The following table shows the behavior of the individual C-NET devices in
degraded mode and in the event of a degraded fire alarm.

7 Networking of the stations
7.1 Networking types –overview

The ↑ stations in the fire detection system can be networked in the following way:
● ↑ SAFEDLINK (↑ system bus) and / or C-WEB/SAFEDLINK
● SAFEDLINK, extended: Coupling of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via C-
WEB/LAN (optical Ethernet)
● Electric Ethernet (does not comply with EN 54)
● SAFEDLINK and Ethernet mixed and/or C-WEB/Ethernet (does not comply
with EN 54)
The stations in the network can have the following connection types/functions:
● ↑ Standalone station
● ↑ SAFEDLINK station: Station in the SAFEDLINK network
● ↑ Router station: Station in the SAFEDLINK sub-net connected to the C-
WEB/LAN
● ↑ Ethernet station: Station in the Ethernet sub-network to which no more
stations are connected via SAFEDLINK
● ↑ GAP station: Station in the network for connecting to a ↑ management
station via ↑ BACnet client or to Cerberus-Engineering-Tool
– The GAP station can be configured with the DHCP server function.
– The DHCP server automatically issues IP addresses to the clients from a
defined IP address space. This enables a PC to receive local access, for
example.
– A route to an external IP router can be defined for the GAP station.

Each license key is backward compatible with the key below.
Each individual FS720 station which communicates via BACnet third-party
products must be enabled with a license key.
Cerberus-Remote has the same ↑ visibility as the connected 'Station'. You can
therefore gain global visibility with Cerberus-Remote in a networked ↑ site. To do
so, the license key must be installed in a ↑ 'Station' with global visibility and
connected to Cerberus-Remote.
7.3 Access components/function and access type

In addition to operation at the ↑ stations, the fire detection system can be accessed
using the following components:
● Cerberus-Engineering-Tool, e.g., to initialize the station, update firmware,
upload / download configuration
● Cerberus-Remote
● ↑ Management station via BACnet / Ethernet
The stations can be accessed as follows:
● Local access to ↑ standalone station or ↑ SAFEDLINK station via the station's
Ethernet interface
● Internal access via ↑ GAP station
● Internal access via address: Direct access via the IP address to a station
● External access via GAP or address (remote access)
Select the access type in the 'Connect' window with Cerberus-Engineering-Tool.
The management station receives access via the configured network addresses.

7.4 Redundancy and degraded mode

For networking via the C-WEB/SAFEDLINK, each ↑ station must be equipped with
a ↑ network module (↑ SAFEDLINK).
Redundant networking
The C-WEB/SAFEDLINK system bus wiring is loop-shaped. The stations can
continue to communicate even when the bus has been interrupted at one point or a
short-circuit has occurred.
Degraded mode in the SAFEDLINK system

If the ↑ CPU of a station fails, the station can still trigger a collective alarm.
If the network module fails, the affected station and all of the connected peripheral
devices (e.g. detector, alarm horns and remote transmission device) are
disconnected from the network. When a second network module (degraded mode
module) is used, degraded mode is ensured in the system. When the main module
fails, the degraded mode module assumes the most important functions.
Only the following signals are transmitted in degraded mode:
● Degraded fire alarm
● Switching-off of the acoustic ↑ alarming equipment
7.4.1 Guidelines for a station's redundant SAFEDLINK

connection
A station is incorporated redundantly into the SAFEDLINK network if two network
modules (SAFEDLINK) are used. The stations' redundant SAFEDLINK connection
complies with EN 54 and is specified for the following applications:
● Fire control panels with more than 512 fire detectors (irrespective of the remote
transmission connection) must be equipped with two network modules
(SAFEDLINK) (EN 54).
● Fire control panels with superordinate functions (remote transmissions,
alarming devices, master operation) must be equipped with two network
modules (SAFEDLINK) (various country-specific 'Codes of Practice').
● Fire control panels monitoring surfaces larger than 12,000 m2 must be
equipped with two network modules (SAFEDLINK) (VDE 0833-2).

7.4.2 Degraded mode with extended networking

In addition to the guidelines for ↑ SAFEDLINK networking, the following must be
noted for the degraded mode characteristics of extended networking:
If a ↑ 'Station' is in 'Degraded mode' and has a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM', all

'Stations' on the same sub-net generate a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'. The
'Stations' in other sub-nets which are networked via 'C-WEB/LAN' do not generate
a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
'RT' and 'External sounder'

● Because the 'RT' has the global 'Visibility', the 'RT' is always activated by a
'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
● An 'External sounder' has the 'Station' 'Visibility' as standard and is therefore
not activated by a 'Degraded FIRE ALARM' from another sub-net.
You can change the behavior of the 'External sounder' element by extending the
'Visibility' of the 'External sounder' element to include all 'Stations' on the other sub-
nets or by configuring the global 'Visibility'.
● An alarm signal can only be switched off within a SAFEDLINK sub-net in
'Degraded mode'. If, for example, a station is in sub-net 1, in 'Degraded mode'
and has an alarm, all the horns in sub-net 2 are also switched on. The horns
that are switched on in sub-net 2 can however no longer be deactivated by the
station in 'Degraded mode' (in sub-net 1).
● If horns are connected to the station in 'Degraded mode' in sub-net 1, they can
only be deactivated by a station in sub-net 1.
7.5 SAFEDLINK networking

The ↑ stations are networked in compliance with EN 54 via the ↑ system bus C-
WEB/SAFEDLINK. Data exchange is possible between all stations connected to
the ↑ SAFEDLINK system bus. This makes system-wide operation, control and
alarming possible.
113 | 182
7 SAFEDLINK networking
Features of networking via SAFEDLINK

● Wiring using wire pairs
● Redundant transmission paths thanks to loop-shaped wiring
● Increased security thanks to degraded mode capability
● No additional degraded mode cabling required, even with more than 512
detectors in the system

The two fiber optic cable network modules enable an optical C-WEB/SAFEDLINK
network over several kilometers that is in conformance with EN 54. The fiber optic
cable network modules have two separate channels and thus also enable the
redundant linkage of one ↑ SAFEDLINK station in accordance with EN 54. They
can be installed in a ↑ station or remotely.
The following fiber optic cable network modules are available:
● Fiber optic cable network module (SM) FN2006-A1 with single-mode

If the C-WEB/SAFEDLINK networking is to cover a distance >1000 m, a repeater
(↑ SAFEDLINK) FN2002-A1 must be used to boost the signal.
The repeater is an intermediate amplifier and is not recognized as a ↑ station in the

7.6 Networking via Ethernet

↑ Stations can be networked via Ethernet. In this case, the connection is
established with a commercially available Fast Ethernet cable (CAT5 or CAT6).
Restrictions on the Ethernet:

● The networking is not in compliance with EN 54 (no degraded mode possible)
● No redundant networking possibilities
● A maximum of 32 stations can be networked with

7.8 Extended networking

↑ Extended networking is the merging of several ↑ SAFEDLINK sub-nets via C-
WEB/LAN, which is managed as optical Ethernet in loop topology via the Ethernet
switch (modular) FN2012.
The sub-nets communicate via the ↑ router stations.
Malfunctions during a partial upgrade

Ethernet switch (modular) FN2012 is not compatible with Ethernet switch (MM)
FN2008 and so may only be used in panels ≥MP6.
A router station has an integrated Ethernet switch (modular) and is configured as

a router station with 'Cerberus-Engineering-Tool'.
In extended networking, no additional Ethernet sub-net may be connected in a

SAFEDLINK sub-net.
Properties
● Structure of large and efficient networks
● Merging of several SAFEDLINK sub-networks
● High data rate and not sensitive to electric interference (fiber optic cables)
● Redundant network topology (loop-shaped networking)
● Redundant networking of sub-nets possible (complies with EN 54)
7.8.1 Redundant networking

A sub-net is networked redundantly by connecting the sub-net to the C-WEB/LAN
via two ↑ router stations. This networking type is specified according to EN 54 in
the following cases:
● A total of more than 512 C-NET devices in the sub-net
● Central remote transmission in the sub-network
● The monitored surface in the sub-net is greater than 12,000 m2
Degraded mode is guaranteed because the router stations monitor one another. If
the router station fails, the ↑ standby router station automatically takes over the
function of the router station.

The following restrictions apply when using stations in extended networking:
● The fire control panels FC726 can be used as routers or standby routers as
long as the outline quantities or system limits of a FC724 are not exceeded.
● All stations throughout the entire extended network must be equipped with the
PMI & mainboard FCM2027.
● Compact stations with the PMI & mainboard FCM2004 must not be used in the
extended network.
7.9 Remote access

Connection to or access from external networks must be configured via a firewall
for security reasons. Individual ↑ stations or the entire network can be protected
against the following events with a firewall:
● Access and attacks which impair the functionality of the FS720 system
● Unauthorized access
● Spying on data
● Data manipulation
WARNING
System manipulation due to unauthorized access
No alarm in the event of fire.
● Use a firewall to protect a networked fire detection system in accordance with
the following specifications.
123 | 182
7 Remote access
Specifications for firewall

For sites on which the fire detection system is connected to a customer network,
access to the fire detection system must be protected with an up-to-date and
professional firewall that has been configured correctly. The following requirements
must be met:
● State-of-the-art hardware firewall
● Support for remote maintenance with up-to-date IT standards
● Continuous device updates and patches during the service life of the product
● Updates and patches must be installed as soon as possible and no than within
two months of a security gap being announced

Function
8 Overview
Evaluation of the danger levels

The control panel evaluates the danger levels and decides whether to trigger
alarms or not. In doing so, the control panel distinguishes between automatic and
manual fire alarms, ↑ 'Pre-ALARM' and 'Degraded FIRE ALARM'.
Alarm events are allocated to the following event categories:
Event category for alarm Typical example Activation/cause

events
'Pre-ALARM' The detector detects a fire phenomenon with a low Detector sensor
danger level
'ALARM' The detector detects a fire phenomenon with a high Detector sensor
danger level
Table 26: Event categories for alarm events
Evaluation of the system events

The fire control panel has comprehensive monitoring and self-monitoring functions.
Deviations from the normal operation mode are recognized as a system event.
System events are allocated to the following event categories:
Event category for system Typical example Activation/cause

events
'Fault' ● Faulty ↑ detector line Short-circuit, open line or
● Mains failure detector malfunction
'Isolation' A detector zone has been switched off Operation or control

'Test' A detector zone is switched to Test Operation
↑ 'Technical message' Fault or danger from extraneous equipment Sensor or contact
'Activation' A control is activated Operation or control
'Information' ● Access level State
● 'Manned operation' operation mode
Table 27: Event categories for system events
Alarming
The different fire alarms and system events are verified independently from one
another. Depending on the configuration, ↑ local alarming or direct or delayed
↑ global alarming is actuated.
● Local alarming:
Local ↑ alarming equipment (e.g., acoustic or optical alarm devices) is
actuated in order to call up immediately available intervention personnel
(e.g., in-house staff) and to alert people of a possible fire hazard.
● Global alarming:
Global alarming equipment (e.g. remote transmission) is actuated and external
intervention forces (e.g. the fire brigade) are alerted.
The following points influence the type of alarming:
● Configuration of the alarming process
● Position of 'Manned operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation mode
– 'Manned operation': Personnel present on site
– 'Unmanned operation': No personnel present on site
● Type of alarm activation (automatic or manual)

Control
In the event of fire it makes sense to initiate first, decisive actions automatically.
Automatic measures are carried out by controls, e.g., by the control of building
services, evacuation or ↑ extinguishing.
8.2 Topology
The configuration of an 'FS720' fire detection installation is created in the following
structure trees:
● ↑ 'Hardware tree'
● ↑ 'Detection tree'
● ↑ 'Control tree'
● 'Operation tree'
● ↑ 'Network tree'
The structure is created by installing in the building and configuring the fire
detection installation. The elements of the individual structure trees are assigned to
one another via channels.
Thanks to a hierarchical topology and arrangement into zones, events can be
assigned geographically and shown accordingly. This enables commands to be
given to consolidated parts of the ↑ site, for example.

'Area'
● 'Area' typically corresponds to a building.
● 'Area' combines 'Sections' which are subject to the same 'Manned

● 'Area' actuates the ↑ alarming equipment (acoustic and ↑ optical alarm devices
as well as remote transmission).
● 'Area' is assigned the following functions:
– ↑ 'Manned operation'/↑ 'Unmanned operation' operation mode
– Switching assigned 'Sections' on/↑ off
Several 'Areas' are possible per control panel:
● FC722, FC723, FC724: up to four 'Areas'
● FC726 up to eight 'Areas'
There is an 'Area' that groups together the functions of alarm verification (AVC),
e.g. collective alarms and degraded mode operation.
'Section'
● 'Section' combines 'Zones' to form logical units. Such a unit can be e.g. a floor
or a staircase.
● 'Section' is assigned the following function:
– Switching assigned 'Zones' on/off
'Zone'
● 'Zone' generally combines the detectors in a room.
● 'Zone' evaluates the danger levels transmitted by the detectors. The configured
combination of different danger levels defines the conditions upon which an
'ALARM' is triggered.
● The following fire alarm zone types exist:
– 'Automatic zone'
– 'Manual zone'
– 'Technical zone'
– 'FSE zone'
– 'Flow switch zone' (sprinkler)
– 'Sub-system zone'
● The following extinguishing zone types exist:
– 'Sprinkler zone'

8.2.2.2 Operation modes of the detection tree elements

'Area'
● 'Manned operation'
In 'Manned operation' operation mode, operating personnel are present and
can investigate the fire location. The detectors are set to normal sensitivity, in
accordance with the selected ↑ parameter set.
● 'Unmanned operation'
In the 'Unmanned operation' operation mode, there are no operating personnel
present to investigate the fire location. The sensitivity level of the detectors or
their parameter sets are typically increased by switching to 'Unmanned
operation' operation mode.
The settings for the 'Manned operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation modes are
defined in the chapter Alarm Verification Concept (AVC).
'Zone'
● Switched on (normal operation)
Danger levels are evaluated and 'ALARMS' produced in normal operation. The
detectors have a normal sensitivity level, in accordance with the selected
parameter set.
● Switched off
If a 'Zone' is switched off, the channels assigned to the 'Zone' are isolated. No
signals are evaluated, neither danger levels nor 'Faults'.
There are two isolation functions:
– Isolation without time limits
– Isolation with time limits
● ' --Renovation mode'
This operation mode is not assigned a function.
● 'Detector test'
In the 'Detector test' operation mode, detectors can be actuated for test
purposes. When a detector is triggered, a test activation message is generated.
↑ Alarm devices or controls are not activated.
The following devices are activated:
– Internal alarm indicators
– ↑ External alarm indicators in accordance with the configuration
– Base sounders if they are in the base of the activated detector
During testing the detectors must react quickly so that the holding times are
short. During the 'Detector test', the detectors are switched to increased
sensitivity with the 'Test' parameter set for this purpose.
After terminating the 'Detector test' operation mode, the detectors and 'Zones'
are reset to the condition they were in before the 'Detector test'.
● 'Installation test'
An 'Installation test' can be performed during normal operation. The alarm
devices and controls are activated.
In the test the detectors must react quickly so that the holding times are short.
During the 'Installation test', the detectors are switched to increased sensitivity
with the 'Test' parameter set for this purpose.
After terminating the 'Installation test' operation mode, the detectors and
'Zones' are reset to the condition they were in before the 'Installation test'
operation mode.

In the normal operation, the danger levels of the detector as well as any 'Faults'
are transmitted to the 'Zone' for evaluation.
● Switched off
If a 'Channel' is switched off, no signals are forwarded to the 'Zone', neither
danger levels nor 'Faults'.
8.2.2.3 Functions of the detection tree elements

'Area': Switching the operating mode
● The 'Unmanned operation' operation mode is manually switched to 'Manned
operation'. Switching is not possible when 'ALARMS' have occurred and need
to be dealt with.
● The 'Manned operation' operation mode is automatically or manually
(configurable) switched to 'Unmanned operation'. Four time settings can be
configured for this, regardless of the day of the week:
– The first time setting is for automatic changeover.
– The second, third and fourth time setting is for safety reasons, in case
somebody switches to 'Manned operation' after the expiry of the first,
second or third automatic changeover.
● Blocking switchover
– If an 'ALARM' has occurred in the 'Area' and is waiting for treatment, the
switchover function from 'Manned operation' to 'Unmanned operation' is
blocked.
– It is still possible to switch from 'Unmanned operation' to 'Manned
operation'.
● Switching functions on and ↑ off
– All functions available for the 'Zones' are also available as collective
functions at area level.
Examples:
– Switching all automatic 'Zones' on and off.
– Switching all manual 'Zones' on and off.
● 'Poll alarm counter'
– The alarm counter counts the number of alarm states of the 'Area'.
– The alarm state is the state from the first 'ALARM' to the successful reset.
'Section': Switching the 'Zones' on and off

● All 'Zones' of the same kind (automatic/manual) can be switched off and on
within the section. 'Zones' with automatic fire detectors and 'Zones' with manual
call points are treated differently.

'Zone': Reset behavior of the manual call points

● The reset behavior of an activated manual call point can be selected:
– 'ALARM' can always be reset; 'Glass broken' is indicated.
or
– 'ALARM' cannot be reset.
● ↑ Blocking of the isolation
– If the isolation blocking function has been configured, the 'Zone' cannot be
switched off.
● 'Detector test' timeout
– After the expiry of a configurable delay the system automatically cancels
the 'Detector test' state. This function can be deactivated.
● Switching devices back on
– When devices are switched back on, they are in an undefined state for a
short period. The ↑ 'Station' changes to the 'Not ready' state for this
timespan.
● Simulation function
– With the simulation function the 'Zone' switches from the normal operation
mode to 'Pre-ALARM' and then to 'ALARM'. The controls are activated as if
the detectors had triggered an 'ALARM'. Reset is performed by means of
the keys on the ↑ PMI.
8.2.3 Control tree

The 'Control tree' represents the control in the fire detection system. ↑ control
groups are grouping units for configuration and operation.
Control groups in 'Control tree'

● 'Alarming control group'
● ↑ 'Fire control group'
● 'Evac control group'
● 'Counter control group'
Each control group has one or more elements, each of which includes an input
(cause) and an output (↑ effect).
● Elements of the 'Alarming control group' are controls for internal and external
↑ alarm devices
– Remote transmission outputs for 'Fire' and 'Fault'
– Eight more remote transmission outputs
● Elements of 'Fire control group' are controls for building equipment.
● Elements of 'Evac control group' are controls for alarm and announcement
devices.

8.2.7 Network tree

The network tree represents the networking of an FS720 system.
Networking types
The ↑ stations in the fire detection system can be networked in the following way:
● ↑ SAFEDLINK (↑ system bus)
● SAFEDLINK, extended: Coupling of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via C-
WEB/LAN (optical Ethernet)
● Electric Ethernet (does not comply with EN 54)
● SAFEDLINK and Ethernet mixed (does not comply with EN 54)
Connection types/functions
The stations in the network can have the following connection types/functions:
● ↑ Standalone station
● ↑ SAFEDLINK station: Station in the SAFEDLINK network
● ↑ Router station: Station in the SAFEDLINK sub-net connected to the C-
WEB/LAN
● ↑ Ethernet station: Station in the Ethernet sub-network to which no more
stations are connected via SAFEDLINK
● ↑ GAP station: Station in the network for connecting to a ↑ management
station (↑ BACnet client)
– The GAP station has the function of a DHCP server (configurable)
– The DHCP server automatically issues IP addresses to the clients from a
defined IP address space. This enables a PC to receive local access, for
example
● A route to an external IP router can be defined for the GAP station
Extended networking
↑ Extended networking is the merging of several SAFEDLINK sub-nets via C-
WEB/LAN, which is managed as optical Ethernet in loop topology.
The sub-networks communicate via the router stations.
Private/external network
● Private network: FS720 fire detection installations have their own cabling. The
IP addresses come from a reserved range for private networks
● External network: Fire detection installations can be incorporated in an existing
IT infrastructure as sub-nets
● Integration in an external network does not comply with EN 54
Connection with management stations

The connection between management stations or other sub-systems and the
FS720 sub-system is established via BACnet/Ethernet.
A management station is connected to the FS720 sub-system via the GAP's
Ethernet interface. Every single station that is to use the BACnet protocol must be
enabled with a ↑ license key. The license key must support the BACnet function for
management stations.

8.2.8 Visibility
Several fire control panels and fire terminals ('Stations') can be integrated into a fire
detection installation. The visibility defines which part of a fire detection installation
on 'Station' is visible and can be operated.
The visibility is configured in Cerberus-Engineering-Tool.
The visibility for a fire control panel can be configured in the following topology
levels of a fire detection installation:
● ↑ 'Site'
● ↑ 'Station'
● ↑ 'Area'
The visibility for this 'Station' is configured by selecting and assigning event
categories from the topology to the visibility for this 'Station'.
For example, all the 'ALARMS' for the 'Site' or just the 'Faults' for the 'Area' of a
'Station' are indicated.
Two other modes are available for configuring the visibility:
● 'PMI standby visibility'
● 'PMI expanded visibility'
8.2.8.1 Standby visibility

The ↑ 'Station' with the 'PMI standby visibility' configuration monitors one or more
other 'Stations', or a ↑ management station in the configured visibility.
● When the fire detection installation is in normal operating condition, 'PMI
standby visibility' is deactivated. The 'Station' configured in this way and the
display are then in quiescent condition.
● If a monitored 'Station' fails or if the connection to a monitored 'Station' is
interrupted, the configured 'PMI standby visibility' becomes active and the fire
detection installation can be operated in the configured visibility via this 'Station'
exactly as was previously the case with the failed 'Station'.
In addition to 'PMI standby visibility', 'PMI expanded visibility' can also be

configured for a 'Station'.

2 Expanded visibility [➙ 141]
8.2.8.2 Expanded visibility

If configured, you can use a command to activate 'PMI expanded visibility' for a
'Station' and this gives you the configured visibility.
For a 'Station' with 'PMI standby visibility', 'PMI expanded visibility' can also be
configured.
The 'PMI expanded visibility' configuration is however also available regardless of
'PMI standby visibility'.
The 'PMI expanded visibility' function can be configured with dependencies.
Possible dependencies
● 'PMI expanded visibility' can only be activated if a monitored 'Station' fails.

'Manual zone'
A 'Manual zone' combines the 'Manual call points'. Danger signals are evaluated by
means of an OR relation. Each detector of a 'Manual zone' can generate 'ALARM',
but not 'Pre-ALARM'.
'Automatic zone'
A 'Automatic zone' combines 'Automatic detectors'. The 'Automatic zone' can
generate 'Pre-ALARM' and 'ALARM'. A distinction is made between the following
detector dependencies:
● ↑ Multi-detector dependency
With multi-detector dependency, the ↑ danger levels of several detectors are
linked (AND relation) and evaluated. A 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM' is generated
when the defined danger levels have been reached.
Several evaluation variants are possible in multi-detector dependency.
● ↑ Single-detector dependency
With single-detector dependency the danger levels of one or more detectors
are linked (OR relation). A 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM' is generated as soon as at
least one detector has reached the defined danger level.
Sample criteria for 'Pre-ALARM' or 'ALARM'

'FSE zone'
A release element is assigned to this zone. With the release element, a fire alarm

'Sprinkler zone'
A sprinkler system is a piping system that is terminated at several locations with
sprinkler heads. It is normally fed by the public network of hydrants.
The sprinkler station is installed directly after the house feed. It separates the
sprinkler network from the hydrant network due to overpressure in the sprinkler
network.
The sprinkler station signals when the sprinkler network is opened somewhere and
water begins to flow. This condition is reported to the fire control panel via a
contact (or two as an option) and triggers an alarm with immediate response from
the fire brigade.
In larger sprinkler systems, the piping system is distributed over several floors and
the supply network has an outlet on every floor. Flow rate indicators are built into
each outlet.
The flow rate indicators generate a signal when there is a flow.

'Universal sounder evac control'

'Universal sounder evac control' is suited for horns that do not allow two-phased
(multi-channel) alarming.
For the ↑ alarming equipment (outputs, alarm devices) on the control outputs
(effects), it is possible to choose different tones for alerting ('Alert') and evacuation
('Evac').
'Phased evac control'

With 'Phased evac control', initiation of the alarming equipment (outputs, alarm
devices) is effected separately for alerting ('Alert') and evacuation ('Evac').
Application [GB]: First, all floors are warned ('Alert'). After that, the evacuation
('Evac') of individual floors is perfomed at particular intervals (phases), starting with
the floor on which the seat of the fire is located, in order to prevent blocking of the
escape routes.
This application may be different for different parts of a building.
● In the first phase the floor on which the fire is located as well as the one above
and the two top floors, all basement floors and possibly the ground floor are
evacuated.
● In additional phases, one upper and one lower floor are also evacuated at
predefined intervals. If need be, additional floors can be evacuated during the
same phase.

other cause groups can be given an individual priority.
● For the 'Evac' phase, the 'Causes EVAC EMERGENCY' cause group can also
be configured for emergencies that are not caused by fire.
● The 'Causes CUSTOM 1' and 'Causes CUSTOM 2' elements can be used to
create cause groups for which all available voice messages can be configured.

8.6.1 Attendance check

Should an event ('Pre-ALARM', 'ALARM') arise, the operating personnel may
acknowledge presence within the time t1. After acknowledgement, the investigation
time t2 starts. If presence is not acknowledged within the given time t1, ↑ global
alarming is activated.
8.6.2 Investigation time

During the investigation time t2 the operating personnel may examine the indicated
source of alarm and check the cause of the 'ALARM':
● Is it a real fire = Major incident?
● Is it a smoldering waste-paper basket = Minor incident?
● Has the ↑ installation detected a deceptive phenomenon = False alarm?
In the event of a major incident (emergency), the nearest 'Manual call points' or
<Alarm delay off> must be pressed. ''Immediate global alarming'' is then triggered.
In the case of a ↑ minor incident or ↑ false alarm the operator may reset the
'ALARM' and cancel alarming.
If the 'ALARM' is not reset within the given time t2, 'Immediate global alarming' is
activated.
8.6.3 Example of a verification process

Alarm verification proceeds as follows:
● An alarm event activates ↑ local alarming and starts the time t1 for attendance
check.
● Operating personnel acknowledge 'ALARM' on the operating terminal prior to
the expiry of t1. Acknowledging normally silences local alarming (configurable
feature).
If there is no acknowledgment, ↑ global alarming is activated after the expiry of t1.
● After acknowledgement, the investigation time t2 starts. During time t2
operating personnel investigate the fire location.
– In the case of a minor incident the operator resets the 'ALARM' at the
nearest operating terminal. The alarming process stops, and no global
alarming is activated.
– In the event of a fire, the nearest 'Manual call points' or <Alarm delay off>
must be pressed. 'Immediate global alarming' is triggered.
If there is no reset, 'Immediate global alarming' is also activated after the expiry of
t2.

8.6.4 Fire alarming

Alarming is controlled at ↑ 'Area' level. During alarming the ↑ alarming equipment
is activated, e.g., ↑ alarm devices and remote transmission devices.
Alarm devices
For ↑ local and ↑ global alarming, acoustic alarm devices, beacons, digital outputs,
etc., can be used. The tone of the alarm devices can be configured differently for
local and global alarming (the alarm devices must be suitable for this).
Remote transmission
The alarm message is transmitted to an intervention station. In the case of local
alarming, this is usually the company fire brigade and for global alarm usually the
state fire brigade. A remote transmission device must be used to transmit alarm
messages via the public telephone network.

8.7 Intervention concept (IC)

The fire control panel features comprehensive monitoring and self-monitoring
functions.
The different events in the system are acquired, classified into corresponding event
categories and evaluated by the 'Intervention Concept'. After the evaluation, the
'Intervention Concept' activates the corresponding alarming equipment.

L ↑ Assignment
The 'Intervention Concept' ('IC') is an integral part of the fire control panel and
takes into account the interaction of the operating personnel. The 'Intervention
Concept' can be used to define an intervention process which is initiated should an
event occur or once a particular delay time has lapsed.
156 | 182
Function
Intervention concept (IC)
8
For each of the following event categories the behavior can be defined separately:
● 'Fault'
● 'Isolation'
● Test
● ↑ 'Technical message'
● 'Activation'
● 'Information'
The 'Intervention Concept' has two independent, parallel intervention processes:
● Attendance check (t1)
● Intervention monitoring (ts)
The intervention process can be configured according to the 'Manned
operation'/'Unmanned operation' operation mode.
A triggered intervention process (t1 and/or ts running) is not restarted when a

'Fault' of the same category occurs for a second time.
8.7.1 Attendance check

Attendance check with the 'IC' serves for immediate intervention. Events such as
technical deficiencies, 'Faults' and malfunctions can be investigated and possibly
remedied directly by the operating personnel.
If an event is not acknowledged within the configured timespan (e.g. up to one
hour), an external intervention station is informed (global alarming).
The ↑ remote transmission for 'Faults' is not interrupted by the acknowledgment.

The external intervention center is also informed when the 'Fault' is acknowledged
but the cause of the 'Fault' is not rectified after a specified time.
This is ensured by parallel checking by the intervention center.
8.7.2 Intervention monitoring

Intervention monitoring is used to safeguard a service intervention. Events such as
a 'Fault' caused by a soiled detector are monitored during a preconfigured period of
time (up to one week).
If the normal operation conditions are not re-established within this period of time,
service intervention is started and/or the maintenance personnel are informed.
8.7.3 Example of an intervention process

● A 'Fault' activates ↑ local alarming and starts the time t1 for attendance check.
● Operating personnel acknowledge presence on the operating terminal prior to
the expiry of t1. Acknowledging silences the local ↑ alarming equipment. If
there is no acknowledgment, ↑ global alarming is activated after the expiry of
t1.
● The time ts for service intervention monitoring starts in parallel to the time t1. If
the 'Fault' is not eliminated prior to the expiry of ts, maintenance personnel are
called up.
A triggered intervention process (t1 and/or ts running) is not restarted when a

'Fault' of the same category occurs for a second time.

Alarm devices, strobes, digital outputs, etc. can be used for local and global
alarming. The tone of the alarm devices can be configured differently for local and
global alarming.
Remote transmission
For service intervention the event message is transmitted to intervention forces, in
general the maintenance personnel. A remote transmission device must be to
transmit event messages via the public telephone network.

9.3.4 Cerberus Remote Operating Tool

Cerberus-Remote is software for the PC which can be used to display the
↑ Person Machine Interface of a ↑ 'Station' on the PC. For example, it can be used
to access the ↑ site for maintenance purposes.
Depending on the operation mode, Cerberus-Remote can either be used for
display purposes or for display and operation purposes.
The link between Cerberus-Remote and a 'Station' can be structured as follows:
● Local connection via any 'Station' in the system
● Connection via the Global Access Point (↑ GAP)
Cerberus-Remote is an integrated part of Cerberus-Engineering-Tool, but can also
be installed on a PC as the standalone application 'FX7220'.
You will need an installed ↑ license key and appropriate authorization for the
'Station' in order to use Cerberus-Remote. The license key must support the
Cerberus-Remote function. The license key need only be installed in the 'Station'
that has the Person Machine Interface that is to be displayed in Cerberus-Remote.
You will find more information about license keys in document A6V10210362.
The connection to a 'Station' with a license key is also possible via a 'Station'
without a license key.
Cerberus-Remote has the same ↑ visibility as the connected 'Station'. You can
therefore gain global visibility with Cerberus-Remote in a networked ↑ site. To do
so, the license key must be installed in a ↑ 'Station' with global visibility and
connected to Cerberus-Remote.
9.3.5 Danger management system

The fire detection system may also be connected to a danger management system
via the ↑ BACnet interface. To make this possible, all connected ↑ stations must
be enabled with at least ↑ license key (S2).

9.4.2 Line tester FDUL221

Before you start commissioning the fire control panel, you should test the C-NET
lines with the line tester FDUL221. Line faults can be efficiently detected and
remedied in this way.
Line tester FDUL221 is used for the commissioning, maintenance and repair of an
C-NET detector line. The following can be tested with the line tester:
● Correct topology
● Correct sequence and types of the installed devices
● Faultless cabling
With the line tester, faults such as defective cables in the ↑ detector line can be
located safely and easily. It is also possible to poll and control C-NET devices. For
example, alarm sounders or external alarm indicators can be activated.
The line tester can be operated on the line supply or with batteries, and it is
suitable for mobile use, e.g., on a ladder.
The scope of supply includes the FXS2017 line tester software so that the line
tester can be operated via a USB adapter. FXS2017 offers a clear layout and
additional functions.
The line tester provides the operating voltage required for the detector line and so
can be used even before the control panel is installed.
You will find detailed information on how to use the line tester in document 008250.
