Installation & Configuration Manual
23.22 FlexC Glossary
Equipment located at an ARC
which secures and displays the
alarm status, or the changed
alarm status of ASs in response
to the receipt of incoming alarms
before sending a confirmation.
The AE is not part of the ATS.
Continuously manned centre to
which information concerning the
status of one or more AS is
reported.
SPC Com XT would be installed
in an ARC.
Electrical installation, which
responds to the manual or
automatic detection of the
presence of a hazard. The AS is
not part of the ATS.
Alarm Transmission Equipment
Collective term to describe SPT,
MCT (Monitoring Centre
Transceiver) and RCT.
Route an alarm message travels
between an individual AS and its
associated AE.
The ATP starts at the interface
between AS and SPT and ends
at the interface between RCT
and AE. For notification and
surveillance purposes the
reverse direction may also be
used.
A defined path between the SPC
panel and SPC Com XT. e.g. A
system with ethernet as the
primary path and GPRS as a
backup path would be two
separate ATPs of an ATS.
Alarm Transmission System
ATE and networks used to
transfer information concerned
with the state of one or more
ASs at a supervised premises to
one or more AEs of one or more
ARCs. An ATS may consist of
more than one ATP.
A system combining one or
multiple paths between SPC
panel and SPC Com XT.
Receiving Centre Transceiver
ATE at the ARC including the
interface to one or more AE(s)
and the interface to one or more
transmission networks and being
part of one or more ATPs. In
some systems this transceiver
may be able to indicate changes
of the status of an AS and to
store log-files. This may be
needed to increase the ATS
availability in case of AE failure.
Supervised Premises
Transceiver
ATE at the supervised premises
including the interface to the AS
and the interface to one or more
transmission networks and being
Integrated onto SPC Panel using
Ethernet, GPRS, PPP over
PSTN.
