EN 54-13-2005 pdf download.Fire detection and fire alarm systems – Part 13: Compatibility assessment of system components.
4.3.2.3 A fault or faults In a single transmission path connecting one or more CIE(s) to the main CIE shall not adversely affect the mandatory (as defined in EN 54-2) functions of the hierarchical system.
4.3.2.4 A fault on a transmission path connecting a CIE to the main CIE shall be at least indicated on the main CIE.
4.3.2.5 Where faults exist in more than one transmission path connecting one or more CIE(s) to the main CIE, it shall be clearly indicated on the main CIE which part(s) is (are) lost.
4.3.2.6 The main CIE shall indicate at least general conditions (see conditions defined in
EN 54-2).
EXAMPLE An example of a general condition Is a fire condition at a subsystem CIE.
If detailed information is provided then it shall be consistent throughout the system.
EXAMPLE An example of provision of detailed information is a fire condition on a zone of a subsystem CIE.
4.3.2.7 At the main CIE, it shall be possible to identify the subsystem from which the information originated.
4.3.2.8 At the main CIE, It may be possible to operate either general manual controls or individual manual controls, but the result shall be identical to that achieved by the operation of these controls on the CIE of the subsystem.
NOTE Where faults exist in more than one transmission path connecting one or more CIE to the main CIE, the mandatory (as defined In EN 54-2) functions of the hieraichical system can be affected. In that case, It is preferable to connect the device type “E (as defined in EN 54-1) directly to each CIE.
4.3.3 Specific requirements for software
Any software that is used for networking shall conform to EN 54-2:1997, Clause 13.
4.4 Components
4.4.1 ClassIfication
4.4.1.1 The components of the system are classified as component type 1 or component type 2, as defined in 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
NOTE Annex A provides additional guidance.
4.4.1.2 If a component includes one or more controls which perform functions described in EN 54-2 as being mandatory, or an optional function with requirements at the CIE, then the device shall be classified as a component type 1.
4.4.2.1 To be compatible, components type 1 shall operate within the specified limits given by the relevant part of EN 54, within specified system configurations and within the limits specified for each component.
4.4.2.2 Components type 1 that are not covered by a product standard shall conform to
EN 54-1:1996. Clause 4, compliance. In addition, these components shall also conform to the EMC
Immunity characteristics of EN 50130-4.
4.4.2.3 To be connectable, a component type 2 shall operate without jeopardizing the operation of the system.
4.4.2.4 The operation of a remote control shall have the same effect as if the operation had been undertaken at the CIE.
4.5 TransmissIon path(s)
4.5.1 A single fault on a transmission path shall not affect another transmission path. If this Is not the case, then all transmission paths adversely affected by this single fault shall be considered as a single transmission path.
4.5.2 The facility (technical means) provided for minimizing the effect of a fault on a transmission path shall complete the restoration within 300 S.
4.5.3 The consequence of a single interruption shall not be more senous than the consequence of a short circuit.
4.5.4 A fault on a transmission path to any other system shall not adversely affect the correct functioning of the FDAS.
NOTE Application guidelines may require that the consequences of a fault (for ecarnple a short circuit or an interruption) on a transmission path are limited.
4.6 Input and output devices linked to a fire protection system
4.6.1 General requirements
Input and output devices linked to a fire protection system shall be considered as component type 1.
The documentation shall include the specifications of the inpuUoutput signals of each inputloutput device.
NOTE 1 The transmission path between the systems Is monitored either by the FDAS or by the FPS. Details should be included within the documenlation.
NOTE 2 The FDAS includes the whole of the input device transfemng signals from the FPS to the fire detection and fire alarm system and the whole of the output device transferring signals from the fire detection and tire alarm system to the fire protection system.
