LRU A Line-Replaceable Unit (LRU) is a modular component that is designed to be
replaced quickly at an operating location.
Managed mode The opposite of Controller mode. All modules that are managed by a Controller
module are in Managed mode.
MCP Manual Call Point.
MCS Multi Central System. A system consisting of more than one central.
MFZ Main Fire Zone.
Mode of operation Modules in the system can take on different roles. Connected to the Backbone bus they
can be in:
•
Central Controller Mode (Master or Hot Standby)
•
Central Managed Mode
Modules connected to the System bus can be in:
•
System Controller Mode (Master or Hot Standby)
•
System Managed Mode
Module A module that is a part of the platform, where it can be used to build centrals. Modules
within the platform generally supply a Backbone bus interface. Controller modules
also have a System bus Interface.
Module address Module addresses are set via DIP switches on the modules.
Mute Acknowledge and silence the local buzzer and in some cases the alarm devices.
N/A Not Applicable.
OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer.
PA Public Addressing.
Periodic BIST Periodic check of the safety functions. Some of the tests conducted during the periodic
BIST are identical to the BIST tests performed continuously.
Power output Output providing power supply, normally used to power external devices.
Pre-Alarm condition A condition preceding the Alarm condition to give early warning for potentially
dangerous situations like a smouldering fire.
Programmable output Output which signal behaviour is configurable via the Configuration program.
PSU Power Supply Unit.
RAMS Reliability Availability Maintainability Safety. This refers to the standards EN 50126,
EN 50128 and EN 50129.
Rate of Rise Rate of Rise functionality by using C/E commands for setting of a different alarm
threshold and temperature rise threshold for heat detectors.
Redundancy Refers to the quality or state of being redundant, that is exceeding what is necessary or
normal. In the system the term is used to describe backup functionality like in Hot
Standby Controller modules.
Redundant loop Redundant loop means loop module redundancy on one single loop-line between two
loop modules.
Relay Electrically operated switch output, normally providing C/NO/NC contacts for
connection of signal receiver.
Repeater panel The main attribute for Repeater panels is that they can show information but not affect
the central (or system) they belong to. The Repeater M 4.3 is a Repeater panel.
RS-485 Serial communication interface used for external communication and BackBone bus.
Is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in
balanced digital multipoint systems.
