Description and Operation
1.1
General
1.1.1
The Signal-20M Intrusion and Fire Alarm Panel (hereinafter referred to as Panel) is
designed to use as combined device to monitor and control alarms in the following systems:
–
Fire alarm and extinguishing systems
–
Evacuation and alarm system of Type 1 and Type 2
–
Intrusion and panic alarm system
–
Auxiliary alarm systems
The Panel can be used as a standalone device as well as an addressable device in the Orion
Integrated System in combination with the network controller. The S2000M panel or workstation
with the Orion Pro Suite installed can be used as a network controller
If operated with the S2000M panel (ver 3.00 or newer), in addition to audio and visual alarm
control functions, the Signal M supports various fire protection equipment as described in the S2000M’s
User Guide.
Applications: standalone or centralized protection of building and facilities (offices, stores, banks,
warehouses and production facilities) from fire and unauthorized access.
1.1.2
The Signal-20M supports conventional (nonaddressable) threshold wire-connected
detectors.
1.1.3
The Signal-20M can operate as a processing module of rate-of-rise heat detectors and
supports sensing elements (thermal cables) detecting temperature threshold exceedance.
1.1.4
The Panel provides the following:
–
Monitors twenty (20) inputs (fire, intrusion, panic and auxiliary inputs)
–
Receives signals from automatic and manual passive and active (over-input powered), four-
wire fire and intrusion detectors with NO or NC internal contacts;
–
Receives signals from sensing elements detecting over-threshold temperatures in addition the
panel can perform functions of a processing module for rate-of-rise heat detectors
–
Checks for communication faults with detectors
–
Generates the Fire, Fault and Start (Activation) signals to transmit them to the fire brigade
(К1, К2, К3 outputs);
–
Generates the Alarm discrete signals to transmit them to the Centralized Monitoring Station
(CMS) (К1, К2, К3 outputs);
–
Controls audio and visual alarm devices (AAD and VAD) (К4, К5, К6 and К7outputs);
–
Check for communication faults with alarm devices
–
Supports multiple-detector connection to one output providing check for line faults in active
and inactive conditions
–
Shows the status of device elements by its own LEDs and provides audible indication on
operation conditions and modes
–
Stores up to 4,096 event messages in its non-volatile memory
–
Interoperability with the network controller (С2000М panel or Orion Pro Suite Workstation);
–
Offers credential-based (PINs and iButtons) authentication to protect its controls (buttons)
against unauthorized access
–
Stores up to 128 user credentials in nonvolatile memory;
–
Supports iButton reading through own built-in reader (connection of external readers is not
supported);
