'Extinguishing card (XCI2005)' – 'Inputs' – parameters in the
'Overview' tab
The table below describes the configurable parameters for 'Input' elements of the
extinguishing card in the 'Overview' tab. Not every 'Input' element has all of the
parameters described below.
You will find information about the circuitry of the individual inputs in the
'A6V10210390' document.

Description
'Extinguishing input type'
Parameter determines the
type of the input.
'Collective'
Collective input to which, for example, a manual call
point or 'Emergency hold' switch is connected.
'Normally open'
Input is reported as 'open' in the inactive state.
'Normally open (VdS
compliant)'
Input is reported as 'open' in the inactive state. The
input also fulfills all of the VdS requirements for
inputs of this type.
'Normally closed'
Input is reported as 'closed' in the inactive state.
'Simple switchable'
Input detects a simple change between two states.
This type of input can be used to monitor valve
positions, for example.
An LED on the extinguishing terminal can be
configured to visually detect an incorrect valve
position. You will find more information on this in
chapter ''Local event' elements [
'Complex switchable'
Input detects a complex change between several
states. The input can also detect an undefined state
between two defined states, for example.
''Loss of agent' open during
pressure'
Special input for determining loss of extinguishing
agent.
The confirmation of the input if an extinguishing
agent flow is detected can be set to 'open' or
'closed'. The selection depends on whether the
pressure switch used opens or closes the circuit.

during pressure'

16.3 Configuring automatic extinguishing activation
This section describes the configuration process for automatically activating a
flooding zone with the associated fire detectors or equivalent input signals. The
configuration process is performed using the conventional activation zones for an
'FS720' fire detection installation. You will find more information on configuring the
individual 'Zone' types in chapter ''Detection' task card [
A flooding zone can be activated in two ways:
●
Single-zone activation: suitable for object protection or flooding zones with a
very limited amount of space.
●
Multi-zone activation: suitable for large flooding zones with multiple detector
groups.
