What is “remote transmission”?
The remote transmission facility establishes a transmission path to the fire department in the
event of a fire alarm issued by the fire detection system. Depending on the alarm concept, the
alarm is transmitted immediately to the fire department, or after a certain delay, giving time for
investigation by operating personnel.
In single cases a separate transmission path for fault messages is established.
When has the remote transmission to be disabled?
Under normal conditions the remote alarm transmission facility is enabled to ensure minimal
alarming times. The remote transmission facility is disabled only in special cases to prevent un-
necessary turn out of the fire brigade. The transmission facility should be disabled for:
Test of the fire detection system
Maintenance and conversion works on the fire detection system
WARNING
When the remote alarm transmission is disabled, no automatic alarm is transmitted to the
fire department! Operating personnel must be on the premises to investigate immediately
the location in case of an alarm and to alarm the fire department in case of fire!
