Limitations to compatibility
The 'Technical Ambient Supervision Message' mode is available from an ES 43
and is only supported by control panels FC20xx.

4.2 Fire detection
4.2.1 Ambient features
In selecting the optimum fire alarm parameter set, the following factors must be
taken into account:
Risk of damage to persons
Value concentration
Room geometry
Deceptive phenomena
Risk of fire
Critical fire size
Risk of damage to persons
People's lives are severely at risk in venues such as concert halls, nursing homes,
and hospitals. The risk of damage to persons is therefore very high in such places.
In canteen kitchens the situation is different. Few people work in such facilities and
are able to save themselves in the event of timely alarms. The risk of damage to
persons is thus rather low in this case.
Value concentration
Irreplaceable cultural assets are often on display in museums. Computer centers
house servers with large data volumes. The concentration of valuable items is
rather high. In a normal hotel room the concentration of valuable items must be
classified as low.
Room geometry
High ceilings, complex room shapes or well-ventilated rooms have a complex room
geometry. This aggravates early fire detection, as it is difficult for the fire
phenomenon to reach the fire detector. An office room with normal ceiling height
has a simple room geometry.
