Safety Release notes Limitations to the configuration or use of devices in fire detection or extinguishing installation with a particular firmware version are possible. WARNING Limited or non-existent fire detection Personal injury and damage to property in the event of a fire. Read the 'Release Notes' before you plan and/or configure fire detection or extinguishing installation.
Extinguishing system overview Extinguishing system overview An extinguishing system consists of the following components: - Extinguishing control panel for evaluating, displaying and operating all functions of an extinguishing area. - Fire detectors for automatic activation of extinguishing. - Manual release button(s) for manual activation of extinguishing. - Emergency hold button(s) to hold the extinguishing process or emergency abort button to cancel the initiated extinguishing release as long as the pre-warning time is running.

Extinguishing system overview The XC10 extinguishing control unit is used for displaying, operating and monitoring the functions of an extinguishing area and its immediate environs. All detectors, alarm sounders, illuminated warning panel, monitoring devices and controllers are connected to the extinguishing control unit. If a detector triggers an alarm, it is transmitted to the extinguishing control unit.
Extinguishing system overview The automatic activation of extinguishing can be blocked as a precaution for maintenance work. In this instance, in the event of fire, it is possible to press the Manual Release Button for activation of extinguishing. Mechanical blocking For the safety of the people, the extinguishing can be blocked mechanically by actuating the mechanical blocking device.
Extinguishing system overview system can be reset only after completion of the flooding time. The flooding time can be set to between 10s to 30mn. The fire control (shut off air conditioning, smoke protection flaps and doors to the extinguishing area) is triggered as a rule in the case of "Fire alarm" or at the start of activated time.
Operation Operation All display and control elements, except the 4-digit display for XC1001-A and XC1003-A versions, are accessible to the operator: LED 1 to 32 for operating conditions indication, – Keys 1 to 15 allowing: – to enter level 2 access code operation (reset, disabled, test, etc.) 4-digit display allowing: –...

Operation Operating access levels XC10xx-A operation is organized in several operating access levels. Operating access level 1 This level gives access to: silence buzzer led test fault detailed display alarm counter display (XC1003-A and XC1005-A only) Operating access level 2 This operating access level gives access, after code input on keyboard (4 2 3 3 by default or personalized) or by key (option), to the following controls: silence buzzer...
Operation Extinguishing process In the event of fire, an extinguishing process normally occurs automatically and triggers the two alarm stages "Fire alarm" and "Activated" before extinguishing is activated. As explained in the following, there are different operating options to affect the extinguishing process. Fire alarm A fire detector in the extinguishing area has detected a fire.

Operation At this stage, no action can be carried out to prevent extinguishing release. All people in the area to be flooded must immediately evacuate it. However, you have the option of temporary hold or abort extinguishing (only a local intervention, provided this device is installed).
Disabling part of the system Disabling part of the system In certain situations (e.g. maintenance work) it is reasonable to disable parts of the system. If a system part is disabled (isolated), then the Led "Disabled" is lit continuously. Disabled system parts can under certain circumstances prevent the correct acquisition or processing of alarms or faults as well as WARNING activation of extinguishing.
Disabling part of the system Disabling alarm sounders, actuators and fire controls Disabled alarm sounders and fire controls are not activated in the WARNING event of an alarm! Therefore, re-enable disabled alarm sounders and fire controls again as soon as normal conditions prevail! In order to prevent unintentional activation of the alarm sounders and fire controls, the alarm sounders and the fire controls can be disabled in exceptional cases.
Disabling part of the system Setting Automatic blocked / Manual blocked operating modes 1. Enable level 2 access, 2. Press the « Mode select » key (8) until obtaining the desired operating mode (corresponding yellow LED lit up fixed): press: Automatic blocked –...
Maintenance Maintenance Preventive maintenance 6.1.1 Performed by the customer Once a week Check that all leds and buzzer are activated with the "Led test" Every 6 months Check all alarm sounders and illuminated warning panels Check the Remote transmission connection 6.1.2 Performed by the maintenance technician The maintenance operation of an extinguishing installation must be performed by...
Maintenance « Fire controls » Led (21) flashes slowly 3. Press « Lamp test » key (9) to end the test before 30 seconds, if necessary Checking Remote Transmission alarm Before checking the remote transmission, ensure that activation of extinguishing is in fact blocked, the alarm sounders and the fire WARNING controls are disabled and the receiving station is notified of the imminent test.
Faults / Troubleshooting Faults / Troubleshooting The control panel has an extended auto-test function. In case the system indicates a fault or is not in normal operating mode, the following table presents a listing of possible faults with notes on possible causes. WARNING Always eliminate faults as soon as possible Press simultaneously keys “1”...
