Brooks Firetracker FT128 CIE - Fire Alarm Type a; Fire Alarm Type B; Disable Zones, Alarm Points, Outputs, Etc

Technical / Programming Manual
FT128 Rev 2.2

The output is to be programmed (via EBLWin) as type "Routing equipment" and the trigger
condition should be "Fire Brigade TX". The output will then be activated for fire alarm from
any alarm point or Zone Line Input.
If the fire alarm routing equipment has provision for transmission of several fire alarm
signals and the alarm receiver has provision for reception of several fire alarm signals, a
Fire Alarm Type B will indicate that only one detector is activated, which could be a
nuisance alarm. If a Fire Alarm Type A is received, the probability of a real fire is higher
than for a Fire Alarm Type B. The alarm receiver can take different actions depending on
if it is a Fire Alarm Type A or B.
14.14.1 Fire Alarm Type B
The output is to be programmed (via EBLWin) as type "Routing Equipment" and have the
trigger condition "One detector alarm".
The output will be activated for fire alarm from one analogue addressable smoke, heat or
multi detector only.
Note: A multi detector can have one presentation number (Zone-Address) i.e. when
programmed as one address with decision algorithm / one address with OR functionality
or two independent presentation numbers i.e. one presentation number for smoke and
the second number for heat.
14.14.2 Fire Alarm Type A
The output is to be programmed (via EBLWin) as type "Routing equipment" and have the
trigger condition "Multiple detector alarm".
The output will be activated for fire alarm from:
 Two or more analogue addressable smoke, heat or multi detectors.
 Any Manual Call Point
 Any Zone Line Input
 Any programmable input with the trigger condition "General Fire"
14.15 Disable Zones, Alarm Points, Outputs, Etc.
Temporary disablements are made via the menu H2 sub menus
123
. For more information
see the FT128 Operation Manual, chapter "Disable or re-enable (H2)".
Regular disablements are made via time channels, see chapter “Time Channels 1-14” page
122 and “Time Channels 15-63” page 122.
When alarm reset method "Single with automatic disablement"
124
is selected via the
EBLWin "System Properties", the function will be as follows:
If an alarm point or zone is in alarm state when being reset it will not only be reset but
also disabled. It has to be re-enabled (via menu H2/B6) the same way as if it was disabled
via menu H2/B2.
Disabled alarm points and outputs are indicated by LED Fault / Disablements "General
disablements" on the CIE front and are listed in menu H4/U1-U2.
Enhanced Disablement (Default) = Fire alarm, pre-warning and fault signal cannot be
activated by the disabled alarm point/zone. If only fire alarm and pre-warning required to
be disabled, "Enhanced Disablement" should not be selected, see chapter “System
Properties, Page 2” page 139
123
Zones can be temporary disabled via the zone control module (if fitted) on the CIE front.
124
This reset cannot be used in the Australian or New Zealand conventions.
