3.0 Introduction and Key Features
The 6100 is a single loop fire alarm control panel incorporating an integrated power supply and high power
loop driver circuit that communicates to a maximum of 192 Protec 6000Plus series detectors / sounders.and
6000 series interfaces.
The 6100 has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and complies fully with current
standards dictating fire alarm system design practice (EN54 parts 2 and 4).
Sophisticated tracking algorithms Protec Algo-Tec™) are employed in the 6100 to discriminate between
genuine and unwanted alarms, reducing the incidence of false alarms.
The integrity and reliability of a fire alarm system is paramount and consequently the 6100 continually
monitors all critical paths for faults. The fire detection loop devices and wiring are constantly monitored to
check for faults. The integrated power supply regularly performs self-checks to ensure it is fully working and
that the stand-by batteries are in a good state.
Any alarms or faults detected are reported clearly on the front panel display and entered into a 300 event
historic event log.
The key features include.
• High capacity single loop driver supporting a maximum of 192 Protec loop devices ( detectors, sounders
and interfaces )
• Clear controls and indications
• Intuitive menu system
• Uses Protec Algo-Tec™ detection algorithms to minimise unwanted alarms
• Two operating sensitivity levels may be set up per automatic detection device
• Sensitivity levels on detectors can be programmed to switch at preset times ( Day / Night mode )
• Devices may be programmed into any one of 32 zones
• Monitored Fire Link output ( including fire link delay, search time and disablement )
• Two monitored conventional alarm circuits ( always driven as a pair )
• Global volt free fault and fire changeover contacts
• Monitored Auxiliary 24V output
• Programmable Remote Alarm input
• Programmable Class Change input
• Programmable Sound Alarms button operation
• Programmable conventional alarm output group
• Global walk test feature
• Alarm, zone, buzzer and Fire Link disablement
• Programmable T1 and T2 output group delays ( output group specific )
• Programmable pulsing alarm timeout ( global )
• Programmable coverage volume for EN54-23 compliant VAD devices
• Coincidence operation ( to EN54 part 2 type C dependency )
• Global fire relay can operate on automatic, manual or all types of alarm
• Alarm counter ( maximum of 9999 alarms )
• 300 event fire and non-fire historic logs
• Output groups may be programmed to be alarm or control type
• Loop devices may be individually programmed to be non-latching
• Programmable volume on loop sounders
