 Addressable Fire Alarm System

Features
The Mega-Guard Fire Alarm System
(FAS) is available in two different
versions: an addressable and a
conventional marine fire alarm
system. This section describes the
addressable Fire Alarm System.
The addressable FAS monitors up to
8 different loops on the ship in
compliance with EN54-2 and type
approved by classification societies.
A single loop supports up to 120
addressable fire detectors divided in
up to 16 zones. The Mega-Guard
addressable FAS supports a maximum
of 480 fire detectors. Each detector is
individually monitored and configured
by the addressable Fire Alarm System.

A total of 16 different fire detectors are

available in order to suit all marine
applications. The Mega-Guard
addressable FAS is powered by two
19~32VDC power supplies: one main
supply and one back-up supply. FAS Operator Panel with a Fire Alarm and a Loop Fault

 Conventional Fire Alarm System

Features
The Mega-Guard Fire Alarm System
(FAS) is available in two different
versions: an addressable and a
conventional marine fire alarm
system. This section describes the
conventional Fire Alarm System.
The conventional FAS monitors up to
4 different zones on the ship in
compliance with EN54-2 and type
approved by classification societies.
A single zone supports up to
32 conventional fire detectors.
The Mega-Guard conventional FAS
supports a maximum of 128 fire
detectors. Each zone is individually
monitored and a distinction can be
made in between Heat/Smoke
Detectors and Manual Call Points.

A total of 16 different fire detectors

are available in order to suit all marine
applications. The Mega-Guard
conventional FAS is powered by two
19~32VDC power supplies: one main FAS Operator Panel
supply and one back-up supply.

Fault Alarm procedure

A Fault Alarm is generated when one of the following conditions occurs:
Loop fault Earth fault
Siren fault Main or back-up supply failure
The Fault Alarm procedure is as follows:
Activation of: Fault Alarm lamp, internal buzzer, external Siren (when selected during installation) and
identification of fault on the FAS Operator Panel.
When Stop Horn is pressed in Level 2 the internal buzzer and external siren are silenced. This function is also
available in Level 1 when selected during installation.
When automatic Reset selected during installation, the FAS returns to normal condition in case fault disappears
When manual Reset is selected during installation, the FAS will return to normal condition after pressing Reset
when fault disappears.
