15.1 Terms and Abbreviations

Term / Abbreviation Explanation

Activation To bring a component into (one of) its active activation states (depending

on type, a component may have several active activation states). Examples

of activation are turning a fire extinguisher on and making a sounder to

issue a EVACUATE or ALERT signal. Components may be activated and

deactivated either on command or on alarm.

Alarm Zone The geographical area throughout which Fire Alarm Devices give identical

alarm signals present identical audible information in response to the same

event. An alarm zone is activated by one or several Detection Zones.

The alarm zone assigned to the detection zone in alarm is called the parent

alarm zone. Fire Alarm Devices in a parent alarm zone will always give

EVACUATE signal.

To any (parent) alarm zone there may be defined a number of neighbour

alarm zones. Fire Alarm Devices in neighbour alarm zones will give alert

signal when its parent alarm zone gives EVACUATE signal.

AUTROLON Autronica’s Local Operating Network

BLC-Eq Basic Loop Controller Equipment (equipment part for all Loop Units and I/O

modules, i.e. Eq-part for Loop-Ctrl, Point-Ctrl, FPE-Ctrl etc.)

Component An assembly of one or more modules, implementing a system function. The

following components are defined in the AutroSafe Interactive Fire Alarm

System (also see detailed description of Components, Chapter 1):

• Points (fire detectors, manual call points)

• Detection Zones

• Fire Protection Equipment (fire extinguishers, ventilation controllers)

• Fire Alarm Devices (sounders, information panel, visual indicator)

• Fire Alarm Routing Equipment

• Fault Warning Routing Equipment

• Operator Panels

Condition Meaning similar to «state», but used only in conjunction with the control and

indication equipment. (EN54 standard).

Control and indicating

equipment (c.i.e)

Equipment supplying power to, as well as accepting fault and alarm signals

from detectors. A c.i.e. will indicate an alarm condition audibly as well as

visibly and indicate the location of danger.

Deactivation To bring a component into its inactive activation state (a component can

have only one inactive activation state). Examples of deactivation are

turning a fire extinguisher off and silencing a sounder.

Detection Loop Loop circuit connecting a number of fire detectors, manual call-points and

other Loop Units. A detector loop is connected to control and indicating

equipment.

Detection Zone One or more fire detectors and/or manual call-points logically belonging

together for geographical, functional or other reasons.

Domain Network The domain network consists of a number of components, connected over

AUTROLON.

Fault Warning Routing

Equipment (FWRE)

Intermediate equipment which routes a fault warning signal from (B) to a

fault warning signal receiving station.

Fire Alarm Device

(FAD)

Equipment used to give warning of fire, for example, sounder or visual

indicator.
