Features:
Provides addressable control to indicating devices
Controls and supervises two or four-wire (fault tolerant) indicating device circuits.
Provides full analog supervision of circuits.

The module provides a supervised 2 wire or 4 wire fault tolerant output indicating
circuits for audible devices, strobes and response to normal open circuit or short
circuit condition of the circuit.

The unit shall be electronically / field addressable. When the controller commands
the modules the internal relay energizes and switches externally supplied power to
activate connected polarized indicating and other control devices. An integral LED
shall blinks each time the controller scans the module and the LED latches in

Application:

The module enables part of an intelligent interface board communication circuit to
continue operating when a short occurs on the circuit. If used in a two wire loop
configuration, one module isolates a short to the part of the loop between the
module and the intelligent interface board, allowing the rest of the loop to continue
operating normally, the modules isolate a short or open to the part of the loop
between them. In a star configuration a module can be used in each leg so a short
on one leg does not affect communication on any other leg. An integral LED blinks
to indicate normal status and is on to indicate a short in the loop.

Self illuminous FIRE EXIT sign boards shall be provided indicating escape
routes to escape under fire condition. The sign board shall operate on 24 V DC
supply and the same shall receive power from Fire alarm panel. The type of sign

3.01.13 SPACING AND SITING OF DETECTORS AND MANUAL CALL POINTS:

3.01.13.01 General :

A well laid out detection system can perhaps do nothing to reduce the incidence
of fire but can certainly help to lessen the resultant loss by reducing the delay
between ignition and the start of effective fire fighting.

Heat and Smoke sensitive detectors depend on the convective movement of the
combustion products from the fire to the detector.

The spacing and sitting requirements for these detectors are based on the needs
to restrict the time taken for movement of combustion products to ensure that
these combustion products reach the detectors fitted in the ceiling in adequate
concentration within a reasonable time lag.

3.01.13.02 Spacing of Detectors:

Spacing of detectors shall be as per IS-2189

The above provisions shall not disturb the normal population (count) of detectors
which is provided assuming that air handling systems are off.

3.01.13.03 Special Consideration:

A. Ceiling and Roofs:

Protection of ceiling and roofs shall conform to BS: 5839, Part-I .

A. Corridors

If the corridors are less than 5M wide, the distance between the detectors
may be increased by half the difference between the actual width and 5M.
if the corridor is more than 5M in width, the same shall be treated as a
normal compartment.

3.01.13.05 Walls and Partitions:

a. Detectors shall not be mounted within 500 mm of any walls or partitions.

b. If a compartment is divided into sections by walls, partitions or storage
racks, their height shall be such that the distance between the top of the
latter and the ceiling shall be greater than 450mm.

c. If the height difference is less than 300mm, each section shall be deemed
as separate room for provision of detectors.

3.01.13.05 Obstructions:

Any ceiling obstruction ( such as beam, duct etc.,) the depth of which is more
than 150 mm the distance between the detector in the vicinity of such obstruction
shall be decreased by twice the depth of obstruction.

However if the depth of obstruction is more than 10% of the ceiling height, such
obstruction shall be treated as a wall and provision of detectors shall be governed
by the rule above.

3.01.13.06 Enclosed Staircases, Vertical Shafts and Ceiling Penetrations:

Where stairways, enclosed chutes or shafts or lifts, hoists or escalators penetrate
ceiling /floors, detectors shall be sited at each level within 1.5M of the
penetrations. In case of stairways not penetrating through the ceiling, detectors
shall be provided at each of the landings.

Where there are more enclosures or cabins per floors, false ceilings, plenums
and shafts, response indicators should be provided at permanent places.

3.01.14 Special Requirements:

Where the atmosphere inside a block is subject to sudden or rapid changes in
temperature e.g. pantry, AC and Ventilation Room etc., ROR type of heat
detectors should be avoided to minimise false alarms.

Where ambient temperature are likely to be high, the operating temperature of
the heat detector should be at least 30 degrees C above the maximum
anticipated ambient temperature.

A detector shall be placed within 1.5M from any door, window or other openings
in the wall partitions between protected and non-protected premises.

Every enclosure like a cabin, however small it is, within the protected
compartment shall be provided with detector(s).

3.01.14.01 Spacing Guide-Line:

Sufficient no. of detectors shall be used and they shall be positioned such that
no point requiring detection in the area to be protected, is obstructed or
outside the field of view of at least one detector.

In applications where, the fire to be detected could occur in an area not on the
optical axis of the detector, the distance shall be reduced or alternatively more
detectors added to compensate for the angular placement of the fire.

The spacing of the detectors shall vary from fuel to fuel. It is therefore
necessary to fix the distances as per the recommendations of the
manufacturers.
