Programming the extinguishant module 51
12.3 Programming extinction points
From panel: <key>, Programming, Progr. Point, select point, Ok
The extinguishant module manages three inputs (e.g.: a button to stop the gas extinguishant) and three
outputs (e.g.: a bell that alerts building occupants of the imminent release of gas). Under certain
circumstances, it may be difficult to connect devices directly to the module, in such cases, you may find it
easier to connect the extinction devices to the fire detection loop.
Programming a point as an Extinction point will allow the panel to identify it as an fire extinction device and
manage it accordingly.
12.3.1 General parameters
12.3.2 Actions or operating mode of the input
Manual Pre-
extinguish Time
The duration of the manual pre-extinction phase, activated by a MAN-EXT input or extinction
point set up as a manual extinction input or manual extinguish button.
Confirm
extinguish time
Delay between activation of the electrovalve output and the pressure switch activation
analysis (if programmed as Confirm extinguish).
EXAMPLE: In this way, the device connected to the pressure switch input can detect the
pressure drop inside the cylinders and intervene.
Pause between
discharges
Length of the pause between one gas discharge and another in the event of non-confirmation
of gas discharge (extinguishant module allows three discharge events).
ADDRESS Device address assigned during configuration.
<device> Name of the device assigned during configuration
POINT 123 Point Description
Extinguish Determines whether the point is for fire detection or extinction
YES the point is for extinction purposes
NO the point is for detection purposes
Extinguish
boards
Number of extinguishant modules (currently 1 module only)
Input -
Active:
------------ No signal, the point is disabled.
Disable
extinguish
Disables extinguish commands, in the same way as the DISABLE EXTINGUISH
button on the panel.
EXAMPLE: During maintenance work on the fire extinguishant system.
Disable
manual
Disables manual extinguish commands, in the same way as DISABLE MANUAL
button on the panel.
EXAMPLE: During maintenance work on a manual extinguish button.
Disable
auto
Disables automatic extinguish commands, in the same way as DISABLE AUTO
button on the panel.
EXAMPLE: During maintenance work on the panel that may trigger unnecessary
extinguish commands to the extinguishant module.
Pressure
switch
Same as the PRESS. input, but programmed as “Pressure switch”.
EXAMPLE: This input can manage a pressure detector that measures and signals
pressure drop inside the gas extinguishant cylinders (thus confirming gas release
and the successful saturation of the protected space).
Confirm
extinguish
The point provides confirmation of extinguishant gas release.
