12.6 FDnet – connecting Sinteso
TM
elements
• Fault-protected FDnet - thus allowing the use of unshielded cables.
• No additional power supply required for hooters and input/output modules.
The power for all elements is supplied by the FDnet and is protected against failure by
short-circuit disconnectors in the elements.
• Simple migration of existing systems using T-taps in the FDnet.
• Selectable detection behavior using application-specific sets of parameters with S-LINE
detectors.
• Customized detector settings using customer-specific sets of parameters with S-LINE
detectors.
• The alarm organization and alarm delay and fault delay functions are adjustable as with
SIGMASYS detectors.
12.6.1 Detector network:
• 126 address elements per FDnet (detection loop) can be connected
• All types of cable can be used
• Wires with a diameter of 0.28 mm
2
to 1.5 mm
2
can be clamped
• The detector network can be laid out in any form: ring, spur, ring with T-taps
It is recommended that you use:
• Shielded fire alarm cable, e.g. IY (ST) Y at least 0.6 mmØ.
• Unshielded twisted pair cable.
In the case of low interference environments, unshielded non-twisted pair cable such as NYM
can also be used. Here the maximum line capacity (500 nF) must be adhered to.
