European Standards
Conforms to European Union (EU) Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC
(amended by 93/68/EEC) and Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive
89/336/EEC (amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC).
The CE mark indicates that this product complies with the European requirements
for safety, health, environmental and customer protection.
4.8.1
EN 50131
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 several functional changes may be invoked
using Miscellaneous Selections Zero, Option 5 (section 3.2.1, page 20). In addition
the following points should be noted:
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Engineer access must first be authorised by a
user, therefore Installer codes will only be accepted when the system is unset. If
additional restriction is required then Engineer access may be time limited to the
first 30 seconds after the system is unset (section 3.2.1, page 20).
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 neither Internals Only on Part Set Zone Alarm
nor Internals Only on Part Set Tamper Alarm should be selected (section 3.2.2,
page 21).
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Single Button Setting should not be selected
(section 3.2.1, page 20).
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1:
•
do not fit more than 10 unpowered detectors per zone,
•
do not fit more than one non-latching powered detector per zone,
•
do not mix unpowered detectors and non-latching powered detectors on a
zone.
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Entry Time should not be programmed to
more than 45 seconds (section 3.13, page 33).
!
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Cut-Off Time should be programmed
between 02 and 15 minutes (section 3.13, page 33).
!
EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during
Walk Test. This is most conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote
LED Disable input (e.g. the Texecom
Rf360
,
Rf650
&
RfExtreme
PIRs) connected to
the panel SW+ output, programmed to operate during Walk Test (section 3.7,
page 26).
!
EN 50131-6 requires that the power supply output ripple should not exceed 5% at
mains voltages down to 207V
AC
. This limits the maximum rated output of the power
supply to 600mA. The power supply can supply more than this at higher mains
voltages or if greater ripple is accepted, for example at 230V
AC
the power supply
can deliver up to 1A.
!
The standby time is the time for which the system power supply is capable of
supplying its rated output current when running on battery only (i.e. in the event of
mains failure). In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the standby time should be at
least 8 hours for Grade 1 Systems and at least 15 hours for Grade 2 Systems. In
order to comply with EN 50131-6 the Standby Time should be at least 12 hours for
both Grade 1 and 2 Systems.
