2 General Description
NOTE!
System boot-time is kept to a minimum during normal operation, but it can be
extra-long after a new installation, commissioning or major maintenance work
(depending on the configuration of the data definition file).
NOTE!
A warning will be displayed on the menu screen as long as the system is not running
Cause/Effect, which is the two first minutes after the system has been powered up
Hint!
For detailed requirements regarding system modules and loop units, refer to the data
sheets.
3 Installation
CAUTION!
It is highly important to eliminate or reduce any high external electromagnetic
interference which can have a negative effect on the loop communication.
Make sure that cabling is carried out according to local rules and regulations.
CAUTION!
All cables used during installation of the fire detection system shall be fire resistant.
CAUTION!
Always use use halogen free cables for loop lines and connections to external
systems.
The different parts of the system, the control and system modules, should first be
mechanically installed. The different loop units are thereafter electrically installed
and set up according to the definition of the loops and drawings.
The cables must be tested separately before the loops are connected to the loop
module. This eliminates any problem with the cable and electrical installation of
the loop units.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the protective cover from the detector until all paint work and
polluting (dusty) activities are finished and the area has been cleaned.
After installation: Be sure to remove all covers before the fire detection system is put
into operation.
The external control panels are delivered in cabinets for wall or console mounting.
Separate drawings are delivered with the system. Install the panels indoors in areas
The mechanical installation of the different types of loop and zone units are
described in their respective data sheets.
Channel 1 & 2
• Min 2 x 2 x 0.3 mm2, twisted pair shielded
(RS-485 + backup signal, one conductor)
NOTE!
The backup signal is only needed for one channel.
NOTE!
Channel 1 and Channel 2 should be routed separately for improved safety.
Detector loops
CAUTION!
It is strongly recommended to use halogen free cables for loop lines and connections
to external systems.
This is the minimum cable diameter that the fire detection system can handle.
International rules and regulations must be followed with regard to cable diameter.
Follow this instruction to set the address and the functions of the Repeater M 4.3.
CAUTION!
This layout shall not be used if the Repeater is located in a
public area!
Refer to Central Unit Terminal & Cabling Layout, page 53 for more information.
For other electrical installations, such as Printer and Basic Backup Signal (BBU),
refer to the specific project drawings.
Control Panel
If the Control Panel is placed outside of the central unit, connection is made via the
external Backbone Bus channel (BBE). Each cable should be routed seperately for
maximum safety.

4.2 Loops
4.2.1 Verification of Loops
CAUTION!
Be sure to remove protective covers from all installed detectors before the fire
detection system is put into operation.
CAUTION!
If a loop unit is removed it has to be replaced as soon as possible in order to secure
the functionality of the fire detection system.
NOTE!
Once the loop cable has been tested and is free from faults, the next step is to
connect it to the central.
5 Make a fire detector test of the complete Refer to the chapter about
Fire detection system. Testing of system parts.
Use appropriate test equipment (smoke
detector test gas, heat detector tester) to test
each detector and loop unit.
See section Recommended Test Equipment,
page 16.
Print out the “Fire alarm history list” found
under Menu » 7 History » 1 Fire History
List. This list contains the 1000 latest fire
alarms, and is cleared each time the system
is restarted.
6 Use a top to bottom procedure if you have
any problem with the verification of the
loop function.
Start by solving the problems that affect the
whole loop and then continue with the
problems with each address.
CAUTION!
Communication problems on a loop due to high external electromagnetic
interference have to be addressed as soon as possible in order to secure the
functionality of the complete fire detection system.
It is highly important to eliminate or reduce any external interference to restore
communication on the loop.
After installation of the Fire detection system, test the different parts of the system
to assure that they function properly.
CAUTION!
Check for contaminated detectors. Use the Control panel menu system to display a
list showing in which condition the detectors are.
For additional information about testing, please refer to the Service and
Maintenance Manual.
NOTE!
System boot-time is kept to a minimum during normal operation, but it can be
extra-long after a new installation, commissioning or major maintenance work
(depending on the configuration of the data definition file).
NOTE!
A warning will be displayed on the menu screen as long as the system is not running

File name example: sysLog_no_YYYY-MM-DD-xxxxxx
5 Commissioning Requirements
5.1 Prerequisite
The procedure described below is to be followed by the installation team.
If nothing else is agreed, no commissioning engineer will be sent before the steps
below are confirmed and the appropriate papers are signed and sent to your local
Consilium office or authorized representative.
NOTE!
During commissioning:
Test that all loop unit functions are correct.
1 All units shall be located at the proper place according to the drawings.
2 Fit detector heads, manual call points, address units, and control modules
into their bases.
3 Connect cables to loop unit terminals according to the data sheet for that
loop unit.
4 Remove all plastic covers, protective tape, or other devices preventing
detectors/loop units from being functionally tested.
CAUTION!
Do not remove dust covers from smoke detectors until all
polluting (e.g., dusty) construction work is finished and the
area has been cleaned.
5 When testing loop units, follow the testing instructions provided with the
testing device.
NOTE!
Use appropriate test equipment.
See section Recommended Test Equipment, page 16.
6 A test report must be filled in for each zone as described in Address List
and Test Report.
7 Send one copy of the signed test protocol to your local Consilium office or
authorized representative.
8 When all zones are tested and all protocols are signed, your local
Consilium office or authorized representative may be requested to come
and make the final control and adjustment of the system.
NOTE!
Deviations from the above criteria may cause time delays. These time delays will be
invoiced.
5.5 Summary
For each loop, a test report as described in Address List and Test Report, page 51
must be filled in and sent to your local Consilium office or authorized
representative before commissioning of the system starts.
CAUTION!
Always refer to and act according to current local rules and regulations.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the fire detection system enclosure is installed in a location that satisfies
the environmental requirements.
NOTE!
Do not start an installation unless all conceivable considerations regarding detector
location have been taken into account.
For detailed connection and installation information, refer to the data sheet for each
unit.
• An end of line resistor shall be installed in the end of each sub-loop (if used).
The type of resistors to be used and how to install them can be found in the
project documentation or in the data sheets.
• Make sure that smoke detectors maintain their protective dust covers until
polluting activities such as construction have been completed and the area have
been cleaned.
• Make sure that the IP class for each unit meets the environmental
requirements.
• Plug unused cable glands.
• The maximum distance for a smoke detector from a wall or a bulkhead is 5.5
m. The maximum distance between two detectors is 11 m.
• Each smoke detector installed in engine room areas shall have two (2) meters
extra cables, this to make it possible to relocate the detector position when
performing “real” smoke tests with fans etc. running.
• In cabins and in lockers, mount the detector with its LEDs facing toward the
door. (Not applicable for detectors with OmniView LED.)
• Mount the flame detector to give it clear access to the location of the
anticipated fire. See data sheet of flame detector for more information about
cone of vision. Place the detector beside, but not directly above, the protected
object to prevent the risk that black smoke may block the flames. Place the
detector at an angle of 45° downwards. This way the detector will project both
downward and forward and catch the least amount of dirt. For more
information about its angle of projection, refer to the flame detector’s data
sheet.
• A general rule is to install the detector on a height that is twice the height of
the highest object in the supervised area, if possible.
• Avoid sources for false alarm (e.g. flares) from entering the detector’s cone of
vision.
CAUTION!
Depending on the number of IS isolators and Ex loop detectors that are to be
installed, the number and placement of short circuit isolators (SCIs) could be of
great importance.
[MISSING EXTREF].
Information on how the circuit installation shall be made in order to comply with
the ATEX directive is found in the control drawing for the detector type. Available
is also the "Ex-Calculator" (Excel spreadsheet) which can be used to verify the
intrinsic safety of a circuit with regard to the number and type of units, cable
length, and gas group. Contact your local supplier.
6.1.9 Bells
• Installation height is normally 0.2 m below the ceiling and max 2.2 m from the
deck or floor level.
• After installation, make sure that the gong is free from the cables, otherwise
the sound output may be reduced.
• Should be mounted with cable entrance facing downwards.
Cable categories
The cables are divided into the following categories with regard to their
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):
NOTE!
Cables used in the Consilium fire detection systems generally belong to EMC
category C, the exception being control cables with voltage above 50 V (usually 230
V), that are rated category B.
Cable separation
To fulfill EMC requirements, cables of different categories must be separated from
each other in order to avoid capacitive or inductive interference. As an example,
loop cables installed too close and in parallel with cables connected to a switching
motor controller may affect the communication in the loop cable.
The table below shows the minimum cable separation between the different cable
categories.
NOTE!
When different types of cables cross each other at right angle (90°), other limitations
apply.
If the minimum cable distance cannot be met, each category of cables must be
provided with metallic tubes, trays, screens, or similar in order to physically
separate them from other cable categories.
The preferred location of a loop cable is in the bundles for low voltage cables (such
as for alarm, communication, measuring and navigation equipment).
Shielding of cables
Although not a requirement, shielding of the detector loop cables is recommended
in order to protect them from electromagnetic emissions. Other cables of category
C should always be shielded, whereas category A cables could optionally be
protected. However in environments with exceptionally high electromagnetic
disturbance levels we strongly suggest that shielding is done for all cable
categories.
Earthing of cables
The earthing of the loop cables must be adapted depending on the design of fire
detection system (see examples below). This is to ensure that no currents run
through the screen due to voltage differences between the earth points (so called
stray voltage).
Figure 11. Earth points in a stretched central system (marine SRtP applications only).
When installing metal cable tubes – following must be taken into account:
• If there is more than one cable in the same tube, the cross section (counted of
mutual external diameters) may be max 40% of the inner cross section of the
tube.
• If the tube is more than 10 m long, drafting holes has to be drilled.
• Tubes must be installed on support so that the background may be painted.
• Tube installation must be done by welding or by tube joints. Fastening
distances are located 100 mm from the tube end and afterwards every 1.5 m.
• Bending radius must be at least 6 times the external diameter of the tube.
• The upper tube end in open decks must be sealed up, this to prevent water from
coming in.
When installing plastic cable tubes – following must be taken into account:
• Installation must be done onto the warm side of a thermal insulation and at
least 100 mm from a hot surface, preferably below it. Piping is not allowed
inside a thermal insulation.
• The tubes are tied with galvanized wire clips. The first clip is located
approximately 100 mm from the tube end and afterwards every 1 m.
6.2.5 Cabling
When installing the cables – take into account the minimum internal bending
radius, that has nominal value of six times the external diameter of the cable.
• If two separate routes for the cables are required – all supplies and involved
control cables must be passed by separate routes according to the drawings and
cable passing list.
• Do not bundle low voltage cables together with power cables, they have to be
separated from each other.
• When cable bundles are mounted on trays this can be done as follows:
• On the trays along the ship – the power cables on the left side (Port-side)
and the low voltage cables on the right side (Starboard-side) of the tray.
• On the trays across the ship – the power cables to the fore side and the
low voltage cables in the stern side of the tray.
• On the fore or aft stem bulkhead trays in vertical shaft – the power cables
to the Port-side or the Starboard-side bulkhead trays, the power cables to
the fore side and the low voltage cables to the stern side of the tray.
• In cable junctions and when exiting the cable trays bridges fastening bolts have
to be used – low voltage cables for alarm, communication, navigational and
measuring equipment have to be installed in their own bundles.
• Each fire detector installed in engine room areas shall have two (2) meters
extra cables, this to make it possible to relocate the detector position when
performing “real” smoke tests with fans etc. running.
• Wet spaces:
• Cables are penetrated from the below or from the side.
• Let the cables enter the sealing at a right top angle (or as near a right
angle as possible).
• Dry spaces:
• The cable can enter from any direction.
No cables are to be installed below 50 mm distance from bottom or fuel oil tank,
except cables ending in these spaces.
6.2.8 Markings
• Cables entering terminal boxes and equals shall be marked with identification
markings.
• The cable identification is to be done with a metal dymo-tape – on open decks
the dymo-tape must be of stainless steel.
• Cable markings are the same as the identification marks in the drawings.
• The cable is passed in switchboards, decks and terminals unpeeled as near the
connection place as possible.
• Mark extra wires (not used) and do not cut them.
• Earthing wire is marked following national rules and regulations.
• Cable wire ends of 0.5–2.5 mm2 shall be equipped with compression-type
collar, if the contact screw presses direct wires.
• A cable eye shall be installed at the end of a conductor, connected by means of
a screw or a bolt.
• No more than two conductors shall be connected onto one side of the same
terminal.
conductors are to be used or last conductor wire of the cable covered along the
whole length with yellow/green hose. Yellow/green is used only for earthings.
• A separate earthing conductor is connected to the earthing point on the external
enclosure of the equipment and on the ships hull by means of a screw
connection.
• Devices shall not be earthed by means of a separate earthing conductor through
another installation (serial earthing).
• The door of a metal casing containing electrical equipment (voltage over 24 V)
must be earthed to the casings body with one earthing conductor. The earthing
fastening screw shall have a diameter of at least 6 mm with the exception of
the screws mounted by the manufacturer. The earthing screw shall not be used
for any other purpose than earthing.
• Electrical equipment is to be earthed by S-conductor (yellow/green) of supply
cable with a cross section area of 1.5–16 mm2.
CAUTION!
It is highly important to eliminate or reduce any high external electromagnetic
interference which can have a negative effect on the loop communication.
Make sure that cabling is carried out according to international rules and regulations.
The mounting heights are according to the table below, unless otherwise specified
in the installation drawings.

wait. complete.
Hint!
Before following the instructions below it might be a good idea to understand the
basics of what the instructions are trying to achieve in order to avoid excessive
master/slave switches and to minimize the traffic that occurs when the system is
trying to synchronize its state between all control modules.
In order to reduce the number of master/slave switches the ordering of the upgrade
is to start with the control modules on the primary system bus and then proceed
with the control modules on the secondary system bus.
To further reduce traffic on extension buses. Upgrade and restart the control
modules owning an extension bus before the repeaters on the extension bus.
Finally, for really large systems (more than 5000 loop units) it will further reduce
the traffic to disconnect the system buses completely at 1.1 and 1.2 during the
upgrade.
Upgrade for control panel modules (Control M 4.3 and Control M 2.2)
Hint!
Further information can be found in section C. Upgrade the firmware in a Control M
4.3, Repeater M 4.3, Control M 2.2 or Control M X with USB port, page 38.

11 Appendix - Termination
The outputs supporting the Basic Backup Signal have an X-Fire property that can
be set in the Configuration Program.
Modules not having full contact with the controller act upon the Basic Backup
Signal.
NOTE!
The pre-alarm level does not affect the Basic Backup Signal.
• Modules that can act as a Controller are able to generate a 2.0 V Surveillance
Voltage on the Basic Backup Signal. At present only the Control Modules can
act as a Master.
• Only one module within each Central may generate the 2.0 V Surveillance
Voltage on the Basic Backup Signal.
• All modules that can generate alarms are able to generate the 6.0-28 V Fire
Voltage signal on the Basic Backup Signal. At present Modules with an
addressable detector loop (Loop M X) and conventional Zone ( I/O 70 M) can
generate alarms.
• If an I/O module is operating in normal or quarantine mode and the master
does not poll the module for 75 seconds, the module shall enter isolated mode
where it monitors fire inputs and issues fire alarms on its own I/O and using
the Basic Backup Signal according to their pre-stored configuration.
• Modules that can be configured to handle X-Fire Alarm shall supervise the
Basic Backup Signal for faults. At present this only excludes the Bus Isolator
Module.

CAUTION!
A 2 kΩ resistor is pre-fitted between terminals 31 and 32.
• Remove the resistor if the Basic Backup (BBU) output is being
used.
• Ensure the resistor remains fitted if the terminals are not in use.
If the resistor is missing when the BBU signal is activated (fire
alarm), it will not be possible to reset the alarm.

specific connections.
WARNING!
In case of remedy “replace the unit” or “replace the module” – this has to be carried
out as soon as possible in order to secure the functionality of the fire detection
system.
Listed in the table below are all fault codes generated by system modules2 and loop units3 ,
their causes, and how an operator with knowledge of the system can classify and solve the
problem.
A fault generated by a system module is often identified as:
“CENTRAL nn Unit type nn Fault description , FAULT nnn”
A loop unit fault is often identified as:
“ZONE nn Unit type nn Fault description , FAULT nnn”

Loop-line A common name for the cable, loop devices and other equipment connected to a loop
module.
Loop-line IS A part of the loop-line protected by a galvanic isolator.
LRU A Line-Replaceable Unit (LRU) is a modular component that is designed to be
replaced quickly at an operating location.
Managed mode The opposite of Controller mode. All modules that are managed by a Controller
module are in Managed mode.
MCP Manual Call Point.
MCS Multi Central System. A system consisting of more than one central.
MFZ Main Fire Zone.
Mode of operation Modules in the system can take on different roles. Connected to the Backbone bus they
can be in:
• Central Controller Mode (Master or Hot Standby)
• Central Managed Mode
Modules connected to the System bus can be in:
• System Controller Mode (Master or Hot Standby)
• System Managed Mode
Module A module that is a part of the platform, where it can be used to build centrals. Modules
within the platform generally supply a Backbone bus interface. Controller modules
also have a System bus Interface.
Module address Module addresses are set via DIP switches on the modules.
Mute Acknowledge and silence the local buzzer and in some cases the alarm devices.
N/A Not Applicable.
OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer.
PA Public Addressing.
Power output Output providing power supply, normally used to power external devices.
Pre-Alarm condition A condition preceding the Alarm condition to give early warning for potentially
dangerous situations like a smouldering fire.
Programmable output Output which signal behaviour is configurable via the Configuration program.
PSU Power Supply Unit.
Rate of Rise Rate of Rise functionality by using C/E commands for setting of a different alarm
threshold and temperature rise threshold for heat detectors.
Redundancy Refers to the quality or state of being redundant, that is exceeding what is necessary or
normal. In the system the term is used to describe backup functionality like in Hot
Standby Controller modules.
Redundant loop Redundant loop means loop module redundancy on one single loop-line between two
loop modules.
Relay Electrically operated switch output, normally providing C/NO/NC contacts for
connection of signal receiver.
Repeater panel The main attribute for Repeater panels is that they can show information but not affect
the central (or system) they belong to. The Repeater M 4.3 is a Repeater panel.
RS-485 Serial communication interface used for external communication and BackBone bus.
Is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in
balanced digital multipoint systems.
Safe State Modules enter 'safe state' when they detect system faults. Modules in Safe State put
their I/O in a predefined state and stop all communication in order to avoid disturbing
system integrity.
Salwico Language A text based interpreting language for making logical cause effect expressions
developed by Consilium.
SCI Short Circuit Isolator.
SCM Software Configuration Management.
SCS Single Central System.
SMig system Salwico Safety Management interactive graphics, a PC-based software package
providing graphical presentation and control of the system.
Spur Branch from a loop-line without return.
Stretched central (DCS) A central that is physically distributed to two or more physical locations. One location
may or may not supply power to another location (segmented) and two locations may
or may not have isolated communication lines.
Sub-loop It is possible to connect sub-loop units to some loop units using a sub-loop cable. The
cable is however not a loop. One end is connected to the loop unit and the other end is
connected to the sub-loop unit.
Sub-loop unit A device which cannot be connected directly to the loop. A sub-loop unit can be a
switch or a relay contact will be used to send a fire or fault alarm to the FDS.
Synchronization signal A signal in the Backbone bus that is used for transmitting synchronization signal used
by system modules to synchronize there behaviour.
System A system consists of a number of loop units and one or more centrals.
System bus The communication bus used for connecting multi-central systems. The System bus is
used for inter-central communication but can also be used for external communication.
If inter-central communication redundancy is required, the system bus will consist of a
primary and a secondary System bus.
TBD To Be Done, To Be Decided/Determined.
Terminal A Terminal is a physical point of connection, compare I/O pin.
Test condition Detectors put in the Test condition (or test mode) are inhibited from generating the
Alarm condition but the alarms are displayed on the Control panels to prove that the
tested detectors are operational.
USB Universal Serial Bus, a communications bus that may be used to connect flash
memories, keyboards, mice or other devices.
Warning Condition The state of the system when a warning is detected. Warnings are not as serious as
faults and only of informative nature, for example in case of a lightly contaminated
detector.
Zone A group of detectors located in a geographical area.
