Extinguishing System Function
7.8.1 Types of Control Matrix Entry
There are three types of Extinguishing System
Control Matrix entry:
a Alarm, used to initiate the release in
response to a device or zone in alarm. Up
to 32 separate Extinguishing Systems can
be configured on a panel; the
output
of the
alarm entry is a reference to one of these.
b. Non-fire, used to configure an Auxiliary
module as a device type unique to
Extinguishing Systems. The
output
of this
entry is a reference to one of the 32
Extinguishing Systems.
c. Extinguishing, used to activate/deactivate
a device in response to one or more alarm
and non-fire entries. The
input
of this entry
is one of the 32 Extinguishing Systems.
The 32 available systems work independently
of one another and do not interact. However,
it is possible to configure the same input device
to influence two or more systems, or (less likely
to be used) two or more systems to act on the
same output device.
7.8.2 Minimum Configuration
A minimum configuration requires:
a. At least one Control Matrix alarm entry. If
an AUTO/MANUAL ONLY switch is
installed, at least two alarm entries will be
required (one for the auto + manual case
and one for the manual only case). If an
IMMEDIATE release switch is provided, an
alarm entry is required for this case also.
b. A Non-fire Control Matrix entry to define
each Extinguishing System-unique switch
on the system (e.g. Abort, Hold etc.).
c. An Extinguishing Control Matrix entry for
each module that is activated/deactivated
in response to the alarm and non-fire
entries (e.g. sounders, strobes, direction
valve, release module etc.).
More complex systems may require numerous
rules, including alarm rules that do not have
an extinguishing system as an output (e.g. a
rule to activate sounders when sensors detect
an alarm but the extinguishing system is set
to OFF).
Use co-incidence rules to prevent non-fire
devices activating the release when there is
no alarm.
