5.3 Response to automatic detection
5.3.1 General
There shall be an automatic alarm status and automatic alarm on activation of a detector. The alarm shall be
local and/or remote as specified in 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.
5.3.2 Local alarm
For design categories S and DS, a local alarm shall be given in the vicinity of the activated detector in
passenger areas and sleeper compartments.
The alarm shall be audible and may be visible depending on its location, in all modes of service. Alarms in
sleeper compartments shall be able to wake a sleeping occupant.
5.3.3 Remote alarm
All detections as defined in 5.2 shall give a remote alarm. The alarm shall be given either to the driver or, in
case of vehicles of design category A, to the control centre.
The location of the activated detection shall be available to on-board staff or in case of design category A, to
the control centre.
8
BS EN 45545-6:2013
EN 45545-6:2013 (E)
The alarm shall be audible and/or visible depending on its type and location, in all modes of service.
5.4 Specified actions required for response to automatic alarm
5.4.1 General
Actions required for an affected vehicle which has automatic alarm status, are specified in this section.
5.4.2 Selective shut down of energy
5.4.2.1 General
The requirements are applied on two levels, the primary level and the secondary level. The application of this
principle can be seen from the following.
The primary level requirements are applied to the equipment in the area giving rise to the alarm as defined in
Table 2. For example if a detector used to monitor a fire associated with defined electrical or mechanical
equipment activates and triggers an alarm, then the requirement for a shut down facility is limited to the
defined equipment.
The secondary level requirements are applied to equipment that is not burning but is or may be, exacerbating
the hazard arising from the fire. For example if a detector used to monitor a passenger area or staff area is
activated, then there are requirements that certain other equipment shall react in a specific manner.
Thus, the selective shut down of energy supply has three aims:
1) to avoid the supply of additional energy to the fire (primary);
2) to avoid collateral fire problems which may arise from the impact of fire and/or the affected
equipment on its surroundings as it fails (secondary);
3) to facilitate fire fighting.
In all cases, there is a requirement that the selected shut down of energy supply shall not apply to any
equipment or any system which is required to function for the relevant period of the fire incident, until its
function is no longer required.
5.4.2.2 Selective shut down of energy supply – primary level requirements
The objective is to have an available device for shutting down easily the energy supply. The term "selective" is
used to indicate the existence of limitations on the scope of the requirements.
The primary level requirements for selective shut down of energy supply are given in Table 2.

EN 45545-3.
5.4.2.3 Selective shut down of energy supply - secondary level requirements
5.4.2.3.1 Control of ventilation
These requirements shall apply to all operation categories.
The control of ventilation is intended to limit the rate at which the products of fire move to and through
passenger areas and staff areas.
10
BS EN 45545-6:2013
EN 45545-6:2013 (E)
Any ventilation system within a passenger area or staff area where automatic fire detection is required shall
have a shut down facility or a smoke exhaust mode and shall be activated by the automatic detection system.
5.4.2.3.2 Photoelectric activated fire barrier doors
Where a fire barrier door is powered and opens automatically under photoelectric activation, power shall be
removed if the presence of smoke is detected which could affect the photoelectric activation such that the
door opens when it should remain closed.
5.4.3 Automatic public address system
The requirement for an automatic public address system applies only to design category A. The message of
the automatic public address system shall be audible and easily comprehensible within all passenger areas
and staff areas in the trainset under environmental noise conditions that occur during normal operation of the
railway vehicles.
5.4.4 Held-open fire barrier doors
On the detection of fire, held-open fire barrier doors shall either close automatically or be closed by manually
initiated remote control.
5.4.5 Fixed fire fighting equipment

If an extinguishing medium discharges into the area where the extinguishing device is positioned,
consideration shall be given to the hazards presented from the type of extinguishing medium and the type of
discharge mechanism.
For automatic systems using extinguishing media or discharge mechanisms which may be hazardous to
passengers and staff and which are fitted and may be active in areas where passengers and staff may be
present, visible and audible local alarms shall be given with a sufficient delay between alarm and discharge for
evacuation to be effected.
Where it would be useful to delay activation until the train speed has been reduced this shall be incorporated
as an automatic delay on the system linked to train speed by a system to work safely under fire conditions in
the relevant period of the incident, until its function is no longer required.
6 Requirements for systems used in manually initiated processes
