MFAC TYPE: main control unit and main annunciation panel of modular design to facilitate phasing of work, expansion and servicing, and containing all components of the system including solid-state electronic components, audible and visual unit, relays and interface components, batteries and charger and other components required for operation of system. System operation: the main fire alarm control unit is to be field programmed for different alarm organisation schemes, automatically implemented, each according to the fire alarm activating device, and as described below.
B.
Two-mode operation: In case of activation of automatic detector the system is to operate as follows: 1. In the first mode (stage) of the control unit operation, a response from automatic detectors in designated zones is to be kept as local alarm in the control unit for the period of a programmable time T1. During this delay time (stage), an internal (staff) alarm only is to be given. If the alarm is not acknowledged before timer T1 runs out, this is to result in a general alarm (stage 2) response. If the alarm is acknowledged while T1 is still running, T1 is to be reset and a programmable timer T2 is to be started (stage 2) . T2 is to delay the general alarm further, and so provide time for human investigation of the alarm cause. If no reset action takes place before T1 and/or T2 runs out, a general alarm (stage 2) is to be given, which immediately results in actuating the audible device in the building. In the second mode of operation of the control unit, a general alarm is to be given without delay, releasing immediately the actuation of the object's audible. The delay time T1 (investigation squad check 1) and T2 (investigation squad check2) is to be programmable between 00:00 and 5 minutes respectively. The remaining time of timer T1/T2 is to continuously be displayed at the terminal (count down). The switch-over from first to second mode is to be programmable up to 4 switch-overs.
