4.1 Regulations
The planning regulation below is based on the system limits of the FCS-320 series. Here, the
corresponding national regulations of the countries in their respectively applicable version
must be adhered to and planning must be adjusted to these.
The planning for the aspirating smoke detector in accordance with EN 54‑20 or ISO 7240-20 is
described below. The basic conditions are specified in Regulations. Planning must be carried
out in accordance with Standard Pipe Planning. In addition to Standard Pipe Planning, special
applications are also bound by the restrictions of the planning notes in accordance with
Planning with Single-hole Monitoring and the following sections. These must be taken into
account from the start in the case of any special planning processes.
Planning options in accordance with EN 54‑20 or ISO 7240‑20:
