4.2 Step 2: Replacing the control panel and changing
over to FDnet-Ex/C-NET-Ex protocol
4.2.1 Replacing the control panel or installing a line card
During modernization, we would recommend replacing the existing fire control
panel with a control panel Sinteso FC20xx or Cerberus PRO FC72x.
In the case of the 'AlgoRex' and 'SIGMASYS' product lines,
a line card (FDnet/C-NET) can be fitted in the existing fire control panel (E3M141,
FDC).
AlgoRex E3M141 S54405-A9-A1
SIGMASYS FDC S54230-B150-A2
4.2.2 Replacing the remaining peripheral devices
When changing over to the FDnet-Ex/C-NET-Ex, all peripheral devices on a
detector line which have not been modernized must be replaced. This applies to
the following device groups in particular:
All manual call points
– Replace the manual call points with manual call points FDM233-Ex
The alarm indicators must be replaced with alarm indicators FDAI9x-Ex.
Migrating the detector line from 'Collective' to 'Addressed'
The starting point is a collective detector line in which no multiple protocol
detectors are installed yet (bottom detector line in the diagram) or a detector line
which already has all of or some of the multiple protocol detectors installed (top
detector line in the diagram).
