General
1 General
To equip buildings, facilities, commonly-frequented areas and working spaces with a fire warning
system can only be carried out economically and with reasonable propriety when correspondingly
well-founded safety concepts are developed and accordingly applied.
Wherever the highest requirements are made on a fire warning system, whether in small
commercial facilities or in industrial plants, the Fire Alarm Computer 8000C / M transforms safety
techniques and economy into practical reality. The modular design with different micro modules
and individual extension concepts allow the Fire Alarm Computer 8000C / M to be easily adapted
to special requirements. The Fire Alarm Computer 8000C / M represents the most modern
standard of fire warning technology. A reliable fire warning facility is guaranteed by the application
of "intelligent" fire detectors connected in an analog loop which is tolerant to short and open
circuits.
In this analog loop - the esserbus® / esserbus®-PLus - up to 127 loop devices each capable of
being configured into 127 individual detector zones can be connected with an overall cable length
of up to two kilometres. The esserbus® is a two-wire line supplied and monitored at both ends in
ring topology. The Fire Alarm Computer 8000C / M automatically registers the wiring of the analog
loop and determines the logical addresses of the individual loop devices. A separate adjustment of
the addresses of the individual loop devices is unnecessary. Bei Systemen mit der esserbus®-
PLus Ringleitung ist zusätzlich der direkte Anschluss von adressierbaren, busfähigen
Signalgebern möglich. Für diese, direkt über den esserbus®-PLus angesteuerten Signalgeber, ist
keine weitere Spannungsversorgung erforderlich.
Subscribers in the esserbus® are automatic and non-automatic intelligent fire detectors, technical
alarm modules (TAL) and the specially developed esserbus® transponder input/output devices.
These esserbus® transponders are loop devices with freely programmable inputs and outputs, for
example for the activation and monitoring of external devices such as display panels, alarm
devices, door closers and other connected equipment.
Using the essernet® safety network, 31 Fire Alarm Computer 8000C / M or other network
subscribers such as display and operating panels or alarm devices can be connected in a
homogenous network. Operation of the fire warning system, e.g. switching off a detector zone, is
possible from any fire alarm control panel or operating panel in the essernet®. Signals such as
alarm, trouble, disconnection or other events are transferred to all subscribers in the essernet® and
can be accessed from any desired position. Data exchange can, according to the transfer rate, be
carried out either with a twisted pair or a LAN cable. The essernet® communications protocol
guarantees reliable data exchange even if a short or open circuit occurs in the network.
These Operating Instructions are intended to aid you in the operation of the Fire Alarm Computer
8000C / M in addition to the description provided by the specialised installer and should be kept
together with the technical documentation of the fire alarm system. If you have any questions,
please consult your specialised installer.
The operation of an installed and operative fire alarm control panel may only be carried out by
authorised and trained persons under observance of the safety precautions and, if necessary, in
collaboration with other organisations (e.g. fire department).

detectors the OI sensor combination in an analog loop can be switched off.
Disconnecting sensors is only possible for OH and OHI multisensor fire detectors. These fire
detectors are fitted with two or three different sensors.
If, for example, OHI multisensor detectors are disconnected with the function OI sensors off, only the
third sensor - the H sensor (heat detector) - remains active. Disconnecting the heat sensors (H
sensors) is not possible.

The switching on/Disconnection of the detector sensors is indicated in the display.
If sensors have already been disconnected in an analog loop, for example I sensor off for all fire
detectors or if there are no sensors of the selected type in this analog loop or a zone disconnect
has been detected, the message "Switch on/Disconnect not permissible" is displayed.
In an analog loop, it is generally only possible to execute a disconnection function, e.g.

disconnected sensors or detectors, when no further, lower-order disconnected functions have been
carried out; i.e. when individual detector sensors within a detector zone have been disconnected,
this detector zone cannot be additionally disconnected, as disconnect functions for this detector
zone have been carried out. However, it is possible to switch off other zones of this analog loop in
which sensors/detectors have not been disconnected.
In order to change the existing sensor switching status, all disconnected detector sensors must first
be switched on, for example with the command All sensors on. After all detector sensors have been
switched on, a further switching off/sensor disconnect can be performed.

5.1.3 Sensor functions (zone/detector)

Using this function, it is possible to switch off sensors in detector zones or in individual fire
detectors in an analog loop.
By entering the zone and detector number, individual sensors can be switched off in each single
multisensor detector.
If only the zone number is entered (detector number = 0), the desired sensor switch-off is
performed for all multisensor detectors in this detector zone. If sensors have already been
switched off in individual multisensor detectors in this zone, the message "Switch on/off not
permissible" appears. All sensors must first be switched on in this zone before the desired sensors
can be switched off.

6 Installation Instructions
The terminal assignment and wiring illustrated in these installation instructions refer exclusively to the
facilities of the operating system software for the Federal Republic of Germany [D].
Operation of the fire alarm control panel 8000C/M is governed by the national version of the operating
system software used and the country version programmed in the customer data.
6.1 Standards, guidelines and instructions for installation

S The fire alarm panel may only be installed in a dry, clean room with controlled access and
appropriate lighting. The environmental conditions must comply with IEC 721-3-3:1994, class
3k5.
S The panel must be mounted on a flat surface using appropriate hardware (screws and dowels).
Avoid mechanical stressing. It may only be commissioned after correct mounting on a wall or
other mounting surface of sufficient strength to support the weight of the unit.
S Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields as well as mechanical influences. This applies
especially to the presence of fluorescent lighting or energy cabling in the close vicinity of the
panel, its components and the associated cabling. Do not mount on vibrating, unstable
surfaces such as light partitioning walls.
S Do not install the system in places where adverse conditions prevail. Parts and components of
the system may only be installed in or led through locations which allow compliance with DIN
VDE 0800.
S Connect the FE (functional earth) and PE (protective earth) terminals of the panel’s cabinet
with the PE rail of the power distributon panel from which the fire alarm system will be
powered.
S Control panels and visual indicators mounted on a wall should be installed at a height of 800 to
1800 mm above the floor.
S The fire alarm system is not suited for connection to IT power supply systems.
Danger – Electrical shock !

! Remove all power from the panel before carrying out any installation work!
ESD protection
While handling electronic assemblies, the necessary precautions against electrostatic
discharge must be taken.
Protective and functional earth

The PE conductor must be connected to the corresponding terminal at the mains supply.
Connect the FE terminal of the panel’s cabinet with the PE rail of the power distributor
panel from which the fire alarm system will be powered.

6.2 Standards and guidelines

The general technical rules must be observed when installing fire alarm systems. Any deviation
from those rules is only admissible if the same degree of safety can be ensured with different
means. Installations within the European Community are primarily subject to all EU regulations
defining the current standards for security systems.
In Germany, systems are considered to be in compliance with the general technical rules or the
standards of the EU for security systems if they meet the technical guidelines of the VDE (Verband
Deutscher Elektrotechniker, Association of German Electrical Engineers). They may also be
considered to be in compliance with the standards of the EU for security systems if they meet the
technical guidelines of another comparable institution within the European Community which have
been accepted in accordance with directive 73/23 EEC of the Council dd. 19 February 1973 –
directive on low-voltage systems- (ABL. EG No. L 77 page 29).
These are examples:

S DIN VDE 0100 Installation of power systems with nominal voltages up to 1000 Volt
S DIN VDE 0105 Operation of power installations
S DIN VDE 0108 Installation and operation of power installations in communal facilities
S DIN VDE 0185-103 Lightning protection systems
S DIN VDE 0701 Repair, modification and testing of electrical household appliances and similar
equipment
S DIN VDE 0800 Telecommunications
S DIN VDE 0815 Installation cables for communication and data processing systems
S DIN VDE 0833 Hazard detection systems
S DIN 14675 Fire alarm systems
S DIN VDE 0845 Protection of telecommunication systems against lightning, electrostatic
discharges, and surge from electric power installations
These technical guidelines must be observed within the European Community. The VDE
guidelines must be observed within Germany. In other countries (e.g. U.S.A.: NFPA and UL
requirements), the relevant national standards, guidelines and legislation must be observed.
In addition to the above, the guidelines of the German VdS Schadenversicherer GmbH,
Association of German Property Insurers) may apply for systems installed in Germany.
These are e.g.:

S VdS 2046 Safety rules for electrical power systems with voltages up to 1000 V
S VdS 2015 Electrical appliances and systems – rules for damage prevention
S VdS 2095 Design and installation of fire alarm systems

Overview

Protection against deep discharging of the batteries (BR2)

In case of loss of the mains voltage the control panel will be powered without a interruption by the
connected battery. Depending on the capacity of the battery a backup time of up to 72 hours can
be realized. After that time the external alarm devices must be still operable in an alarm condition.
The activation of these devices must be still possible with a minimum battery voltage of 10.5V DC.

3 OFF
Fig. 25: Jumper BR2 on the Power supply module
As soon as the voltage of the batteries goes below 9.5V the battery backup will get disconnected
to protect the batteries and the control panel. The control panel is no longer operational.
Eliminate the trouble condition of the mains power supply and turn/switch on the control panel. The
connected batteries will get charged automatically if the voltage of the batteries during the battery
test without external load is higher than 10.5V DC. A battery failure will be indicated if the voltage
of the batteries does not exceed this level. Discharged batteries have to be recharged with an
external power supply or need to be replaced. The protection for deep discharging of the batteries
can be enabled / disabled with the jumper BR2. (BR2 closed = battery protection enabled / BR2
open = battery protection disabled)
Exhausted batteries (off-load voltage Ubattery < 10,0V DC) will not charge correctly. Only the
! battery types approved by the fire alarm control panel manufacturer may be used for
supplying the fire alarm control panels with backup power. Please pay attention to the
manual of the manufacturer of the batteries. It is possible that deep discharged batteries
can not be used and need to be replaced.

Power supply module
Battery monitoring (Basic module)
The power supply unit periodically monitors the charge of the batteries connected. If this battery
test reveals a battery voltage of below 10.0 V DC under load, battery trouble will be signalled. The
battery charge is controlled by means of a temperature-dependent resistor (NTC).
If only one battery is connected, solder jumper BR1 on the basic circuit board may be closed in
order to deactivate monitoring of battery connection 2. Alternatively, the second, unused battery
connection cable may also be connected to the first battery in order to override the battery
monitoring facility for the absent second battery.
If a battery is connected without deactivating or overriding the monitoring of the second battery,
battery trouble will be signaled the next time an internal control panel battery test is performed.

Field device module
11 Field device module

There are two different kinds of field device module available for the FACP 8000C / M.
1) Field device module with one micro module slot (Part no. 772418)
2) Field device module (Part no. 772420)
The field device module integrates all of the input and output modules that are necessary in
addition to the modules on the basic module for the FACP 8000C to operate as a fire alarm control
panel to DIN VDE 0833.
An fire alarm control panel 8000C / M will accommodate a field device card for connecting a fire
department operating panel and a master box. Three freely programmable relays are also
provided for any output function that may be required. Coding bridges (BR9- BR20) may be used
for setting the activation mode for these three relays (K2, K3, K4) to monitored and positive-
switching, positive-switching or as a potential-free change-over contact. The coding bridges (BR3-
BR5) may also be used for setting these relays to activate if an event occurs while the control
panel is in the CPU failure mode.
If a control panel is required to function in accordance with DIN 0833, you should program the
relays with the common fire (K2), common alarm (K3) and common disconnection (K4) in the customer
data of the control panel.
☞ On leaving the factory, only relay K1 is configured to activate the master box in CPU failure
mode.
Do not connect relays (AE) of the FACP 8000C/M with alternating voltage. Even in the case
! of a potential free relay mode it is not possible to switch an external AC-voltage

Eight connecting terminals are provided for the micro module slot of the Field device module. The
actual connection of the eight terminals depends on the type of module used. The various
configurations for the different micro modules are described in the micro modules section.
☞ ®
If an essernet micro module is used, this module may only be inserted into the micro
®
module slot of the basis module. The essernet micro module requires adaptation of the
terminal card on the basis module by means of jumpers X11-14.
11.2 Primary loop input Pri+/Pri-
Monitored primary loop input Pri+/Pri- (terminal X11) has the purpose of monitoring CPU failure in
®
the essernet system. These terminals are used, for example, to connect the common fire relay of
®
another fire alarm control panel. In the event of trouble in the essernet micro module, a fire alarm
signal may still be sent via the relay contact to the primary loop input of this control panel. The
alphanumeric display at this fire alarm control panel will then show the message "Prim. loop fire" in
the event of an incident occurring.
The primary line input can be switched off or on and reset via the corresponding primary line
number. The primary line number of this input is determined as follows:
Primary loop No.: XX24 (XX = panel no. 01-31)

Configuration
14 Configuration of the FACP 8000C / M with

customer data editor
The control panel configuration of the FACP 8000C / M is programmed with customer data editor
8000C / M in the customer data of the fire alarm control panel.
The programmed control panel configuration must match the actual configuration of the control
panel, i.e. number and slot of extension cards and micro modules. With control panels that have
been installed and programmed, the control panel configuration may be retrieved from the
customer data memory of the fire alarm control panel for service purposes using the service PC
and displayed on the PC screen.
It is also possible to print out fire alarm control panel programming on a printer. Using the
customer data editor, you may employ a filter function to select whether to print all or only specific
data, such as the control panel configuration or the data record for a specific analog loop.
Programming the fire alarm control panel is described in ESSER publication Customer Data Editor
8000C / M (Part-No. 798115).
☞ When connecting the service PC, the cover contact must be open to ensure that
connection of the PC will be detected by the FACP.
☞ It is highly recommended to save all data on the harddisk of your PC. In case of a data loss
in the panel it is possible to restore the programmed configuration from the PC.
☞ For the access to the customer data memory you must have the identical or higher
Software Release of the Customer data editor as used by the panel configuration.

Analog loop module
12 Analog loop modules

The following two analog loop modules are available for the Fire alarm control panels 8000C/M:
esserbus® analog loop module (Part-no. 784382)

®
Analog loop module to connect fire detectors series 9200 and esserbus transponders. For the
analog loop module operation the power supply module (Part-no. 802426) must be configured with
the appropriate jumper to 27,5V loop voltage.
2.) esserbus®-PLus analog loop module (Part-no. 804382)

® ®
Fire alarm panels 8000C and 8000M with esserbus -PLus are based on the standard esserbus
functionality with the additional function to connect and power audible alarm devices directly to the
analog loop. For this operation of the Analog loop module it is necessary to set the loop voltage of
the Power supply module (Part-no. 802426) with the appropriate jumper to 42 V. The audible
®
alarm devices connected to esserbus -PLus are supplied by the loop voltage and do not need an
external power supply.
Basic data on analog loop
♦ Less than 127 zone isolators per analog loop.
♦ Less than 127 loop devices on an analog loop.
♦ analog loop may be divided into 127 individual detector zones (customer data programming).
♦ no more than 32 analog detectors per detector zone.
♦ capability of combining loop and spur loop operation. No sub-spur branching!
♦ Recommended type of cable for analog loop: line transmission cable IY(St)-Y 0.8 mm
(diameter).
♦ Max. impedance of the analog loop incl. spur measured from terminal A+ to B+, with a cable
cross section of 0.8 mm = 75Ω (0.6 mm = 130Ω). This value corresponds to an overall cable
length of approx. 2000m (outgoing and return lines).
♦ no more than 32 esserbus transponders on one analog loop.

®
♦ no more than 100 esserbus transponders per control panel.

®
♦ max. 8 communications transponder per Analog loop
♦ max. 16- communications transponder per Fire alarm control panel 8000C / M

Analog loop modulee
Mode of analog loop operation

The esserbus® /esserbus®-PLus is a monitored two-wire loop fed from two sides and exhibiting
ring topology. The use of zone isolators allows you to combine ring and spur loops as well as
®
divide the analog loop into 127 detector zones with a total of 127 loop devices. All esserbus loop
devices remain functional in the event of interruption (break in wire) in the analog loop. If a short
circuit occurs, only the faulty element between two zone isolators will be disconnected. Even
during this malfunction all other loop devices remain operational.
®
On the esserbus it is possible to group special fire detectors and manual call points in separate
®
detector zones. You may also simultaneously operate esserbus transponders in separate
®
detector zones on the analog loop. The esserbus transponders are decentralized input/output
®
modules capable of being installed as loop devices on the esserbus .
Commissioning a wired and functional analog loop requires use of the service PC and the software
Customer Data Editor 8000C / M Version V2.27 or higher. This customer data editor initiates an
®
automatic wiring recognition function on the analog loop and addresses all esserbus loop devices
automatically. There is no longer any need to set addresses manually. The customer data entry
program is then used for programming how you want individual detectors to be assigned to the
detector zones. Programming the FACP 8000C / M is described in Customer Data Editor
8000C / M.
Operation of zone isolators

The zone isolators for intelligent fire detectors (9200 series) are integrated in special detector
bases (part no. 781493). An additional circuit board with the function of a zone isolator may be
®
installed in the esserbus transponder. A short circuit on the analog loop will cause the cut-off
relays to open in the relevant zone isolator and disconnect the faulty segment (e.g., a detector
zone) from the analog loop. The disconnected detectors will be shown on the alphanumeric
display with trouble message Com.trbl (communication trouble). All other loop devices on the
®
analog loop, as well as the fire detectors or esserbus transponders whose zone isolator has
triggered, will remain operational. The zone isolators do not work on an open circuit, e.g. break in
wire. Bi-directional ring interrogation keeps all loop devices on the analog loop functional.
In VdS-approved systems, failure of a maximum of 32 detectors on the analog loop, e.g., a

VdS detector zone, is permissible in the event of a trouble incident. A zone isolator must be
installed in at least the 32nd detector in a detector zone.

Analog loop modulee
Use of zone isolators
1. Always upstream of the point where the analog loop crosses into another fire compartment
2. On changing from special fire detectors to manual call points (and vice versa)
3. At least in the 32nd fire detector of a detector zone
Detector base with installed output

Special detector bases with integrated controls are available for intelligent fire detectors (9200
series).
Part no. 801491: Detector base with relay output (30 VDC / 1A)
Part no. 801492: Detector base with open collector output (30 V DC / 400 mA)
The outputs in the detector bases may be used for the decentralized activation of system
components. The programmed customer data defines the control number as well as assignment
of individual control units to one or more events, such as alarm, trouble and disconnection.
Installation aid / software accessories

The software tools Service Program 92TOOL and Service and Maintenance Program 92GRAF are
optionally available for commissioning, servicing and troubleshooting.

Connecting an external signalling device with loop monitoring

Monitored activation of external devices involves monitoring the loop for an end-of-line resistor of
10 kΩ. In the event of an incident, polarity changes between monitoring and activation voltage at
the (relay) connection terminals. The relay switches over from monitoring the loop to activating the
external device, such as a signalling device.
It is imperative to fit a protective diode (e.g. 1N4004 / 1A) in order to prevent the monitoring
current, for example, from activating external signalling devices while monitoring is in progress.

Master box activation module
15 Master box activation module

Micro module for activating a master box (MFAB) and alerting the relevant emergency services,
such as the fire department.
With the fire alarm control panel 8000C / M, a connection for a master box module is integrated in
the field device module. If a field device module is not fitted, an MFAB control module can be used
for the connection of a master box.

CPU failure mode function

Even when the fire alarm control panel is in the CPU failure mode the master box will still be
activated in the event of a fire alarm. It is not possible to reset the master box while the fire alarm
control panel is in the CPU failure mode.
Switching off the master box

The activation of the MFAB can be inhibited, for example for service or maintenance work, on the
control panel keyboard of the fire alarm control panel.
♦ Enable keyboard (key-operated switch)

♦ Press Control (MFAB No.) Off to switch off the master box.
(The control numbers 1 to 10 are reserved for master boxes.)
An automatic switch-off of activation can be programmed in the customer data. When the fire
alarm control panel is opened (cover contact), the master box will not be activated in the case of
an event.
A switched off master box will not transmit an alarm message to assisting organisations (e.g. fire
department) in the case of an event.

The signal to enable the fire service key box (FSKB)is activated when the master box

detected.
Optical displays of the master box

An activated master box can be identified by a steadily lit red LED Main Detector (MFAB) on the
control panel of the fire alarm control panel. Intervening personnel such as the fire department
have been notified.
If it has been impossible to activate a master box due to an event, possibly because the MFAB
was switched off, this is indicated on the control panel by the steadily lit red LED Notify fire
department.

Inhibiting MFAB activation

The master box or master box relay will not be activated if,....
♦ the cover contact (lock on outer hosing) is open. (factory setting of solder jumper on module:
BR2 = open ; BR3 = closed). The customer data of the fire alarm control panel must be
programmed under menu point Functional designation of the MFAB control module to suppress
the activation of the master box when the cover contact is open.
♦ the operating panel keyboard has been enabled for operation (key-operated switch)
♦ the master box is disconnected
♦ there is trouble with the master box
Activation of the MFAB in dependency on the cover contact (BR2 and BR3)
The hardware adjustment of the activation of the master box is determined by the two solder
bridges BR2 and BR3 on the MFAB control module.
Factory setting Germany (D) configuration
BR2 = open The activation of the MFAB occurs in dependency on the customer data
programming. If, for BR3 = closed example, activation has been
BR3 = closed suppressed in the menu point Functional designation of the MFAB control
module when the cover contact is open, the master box will not be
activated in the case of an event when the cover contact is open.
Configuration for the Netherlands (NL)
BR2 = closed The activation of the MFAB occurs independently of the customer data
programming. If, for example, activation has been suppressed in the menu
BR3 = open point Functional designation of the MFAB control module when the cover
contact is open, the master box will still be activated in the case of an
event by hardware when the cover contact is open.
☞ The allocation of the MFAB relay is programmed with the service PC using the software
Customer data editor 8000C / M. For the MFAB relay, an individual additional text with 25
characters per line can be entered for the clear text display and the protocol printer.

Important installation instructions of essernet® micromodules
♦ The outgoing and return line of the essernet® link must always be installed separately, i.e. not in
a multiple-pair cable or cable duct. Installing them together may impair operation or, in the
event of irreparable damage to the cable/cable duct, lead to failure of the connection because
of a break in the outgoing and return line.
♦ Repeaters ®
may be used if the length of cable between two essernet devices is greater than
®
1000m. No more than two repeaters are permissible between two essernet devices. Each
repeater can be used to span a length of 1000m. This produces a max. cable length of 3000m
®
between two essernet devices. Repeaters are installed in a metal enclosure which is protected
to IP65 when properly installed. The voltage can be supplied from control panel or an external
power supply unit. The operating voltage range for a repeater is 8-18V DC/ 150mA, bearing in
mind the voltage drop in relation to line length or line cross sectional area.
♦ Different overvoltage protection modules are have been approved for the two essernet® micro
module types (ESSER information sheet on "Overvoltage protection in hazard alarm systems",
part no. 798410).
♦ Always ®
avoid installing an essernet line together with lines from the power supply, motor
control lines, phase control lines or other live switch cables.
Possible fault causes
♦ Breaks or twists in the essernet® connection line

♦ Damage to the LAN cable (500kB, module type 2) as a result of inadmissible bending radii.
♦ The eight coding bridges incorrectly set for the essernet® micro module terminal card in the fire
alarm control panel.
♦ essernet® ®
address incorrectly set on the DIL switch of the essernet micro module (display:
®
SYS fault essernet control panel: xx), red LED lights up on the essernet micro module. The
address of the micro modules starts from number "0", the control panel address from number
®
"1". The control panel with address "1" contains the essernet micro module with address "0"
etc..
♦ Line too long or attenuation too high. Typical loop resistances in relation to line length: IBM
cable type 1 approx. 100 ohms/km, or IY-ST-Y 0.8 approx. 70 ohms/km.
♦ The control panel or non-identified user is in failure mode or in the process of starting, e.g. after
a reset.
♦ Control panel or essernet® user dead or connection line open at both ends.
♦ Fire alarm system 8000 is equipped with a special troubleshooting aid.

(RS 232/TTY module) to which the printer is connected. The number of the interface module
consists of the number of the fire alarm control panel, the micro module board and the slot in
which the RS232/TTY-Module is fitted in the same way as the primary loop number.

Switching off the protocol printer

By the first activation of the menu options Printer function, the printer number is automatically
allocated to the internal protocol printer if installed. This allocation can be removed by pressing the
Zone key.

25.1.8 Display of the event memory
At the installer level, the event memory of the fire alarm control panel can be shown on the control
panel display by pressing the Event mem key. The last 200 events, such as alarms, malfunctions,
switch-offs and operating authorisations are stored in the event memory in chronological order.
The display shows the latest event.
The events are automatically numbered with consecutive report numbers. The higher the report
number, the more recent is the event (report number 001 = oldest event).

26.2 The essernet® diagnostic line

®
The essernet connection of the various units in the network can be checked with this diagnostic
line.
®
The essernet diagnostic line (L:xxx) indicates which connections are functioning correctly and
which have malfunctioned. Non existent units/ control panels are represented by the character "?".
The status display at the beginning of the line (0,S,E or B) indicated whether data calibration is in
progress between two control panels. This is always the case when signals are updated in the
®
essernet , for example when a switched off control panel is switched back on or when a new
®
control panel is integrated in the essernet network and its data is automatically updated. Which
control panel is conducting this data calibration can be determined by the two-digit control panel
number (part: xx).

Meaning of the three-digit trouble code
27 Meaning of the 3 digit error codes
A 3 digit error code is displayed in the alphanumeric display in case of a failure of an intelligent fire
detector (series 9200). The meanings of these codes and measures for correcting the error
condition are given in the following table.
Error indication in case of detector replacement
During detector replacement, the alphanumeric display shows error codes which have to comply
with the modifications done. If error messages remain after the detector replacement has been
completed the cause of the trouble can be identified quickly with the help of the 3 digit error code
(ref. tables below).
