Floor repeater terminal
A display device with operating elements for
acknowledging and resetting alarms and faults.
GAP
Abbreviation for 'Global Access Point'.
Participant in the Ethernet sub-net for the
connection between the Ethernet sub-net and a
management station (BACnet client) and / or for
remote access with the PC. If there is a
secondary GAP, the GAP becomes the main
GAP. Can be operated as a DHCP server in the
Ethernet sub-net.
Gateway
Network bridges which link two different systems
/ networks with one another and transfer the
different communication and transmission
standards / protocols.
License key
Hardware modules for activating functions.
Line card
Card for connecting peripheral devices. The card
can be a plug-in card or it can be integrated into
the periphery board.
Line driver
Hardware driver (repeater) for detector lines.
Line separator
An electronic switch which automatically
disconnects the defective part of the line in the
event of a short-circuit.
Loop
Detector line topology which runs from the fire
control panel via the fire detectors and back to
improve operational reliability. This type of wiring
allows all detectors to communicate with the
control panel even in the event of an open line or
short-circuit.
Management station
A superordinate system for monitoring and
operating safety-related sites and buildings, e.g.,
fire, intrusion, access, heating, ventilation.
Maximum current connection factor
Calculation unit for planning the detector lines.
Maximum current value that a device obtains
from the detector line.
Multi-detector dependency
When using multi-detector dependency, the
danger levels of several detectors are included
in the alarm decision. Measures such as
alarming or closing the fire doors are only
initiated when the defined dependencies occur
(e.g., two detectors detect danger level 3).
Network module (SAFEDLINK)
FS20/FS720 network card.
Normal operation
The fire detection installation is supplied with
mains voltage.
Outline quantities
Defines the number of permissible elements of
one sort in a system. For example, the maximum
number of FDnet / C-NET devices on a detector
line.
Parameter set
Defined detector behavior, e.g. in terms of
sensitivity, resistance to deceptive phenomena,
response time. Detectors can be operated with
different parameter sets.
Pre-alarm
Stage before an alarm for information early on,
should an event occur.
Quiescent current connection factor
Factor for the current that a device obtains from
the detector line when in quiescent condition.
Radio gateway
Interface converter for converting from detector
line protocol to radio.
Router station
Participant in the SAFEDLINK sub-net for the
connection between the SAFEDLINK sub-net
and the Ethernet sub-net (FCnet/C-WEB/LAN)
via the Ethernet switch (modular) FN2012-A1.
RT
The abbreviation for 'remote transmission'.
RT
The abbreviation for remote transmission.
SAFEDLINK
Physical network of an FS20 / FS720 fire
detection system with the network module
(SAFEDLINK) and the network cable.
