1.3 Approvals
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 should comply with
the FSS Code and be flame retardant.
CAUTION!
Always 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.
• cable type
• shielded or unshielded cable
• power consumption
A cable is considered shielded if the shielded part is more than 10% of the cable's
total length.
CAUTION!
Never exceed the recommended cable lengths as listed in table Table 2 Loop cable
lengths.
Loop units are divided into three types. These types (1, 2 and 3) are based on the
individual load on the loop.
• FP10
• IC21
• IC44 with external 24 VDC
• MCP-A
• SCI-A
* For older products please see revision 2013_J (or earlier versions) of this manual.
** Using min. a 0.75 mm2 cable, otherwise max. 2000 m.
*** Using min. a 0.75 mm2 cable, otherwise max. 1000 m.
NOTE!
When calculating the number of loop units, consider the future expansion of new
loop units. Make sure there are at least 10% in spare addresses evenly distributed
between zones.
For example, if using type 1A loop units:
254 addresses x 0.9 = Max. 228 loop units/loops.
NOTE!
Concerning the number of loop units in Ex areas, follow the guidelines in the control
drawing for the unit, or use the "Ex-Calculator" (Excel spreadsheet) to verify the
intrinsic safety.
CAUTION!
When using older versions of MCP-A, SCI-A, all versions of EV-SPB-BI and
EV-BI, the total number of these units, including SCI (Short Circuit Isolator) units,
are limited to 40 pcs on each loop.
CAUTION!
For loop configuration it is extremely important to follow the compatibility list. Do
not mix different types of SCI units.
For more details about their connection, see Connections for Loop Units, page
73.
The information about the electrical installation of each type of loop unit is
provided in its respective data sheet.
NOTE!
• Set the address switch on each loop unit before connecting them to the loop. If
an address unit is used, set its ID switch. See Setting the Address on Loop
Units, page 14 later in this chapter and also Address List and Test Report,
page 68 and ID List, page 71.
CAUTION!
Do not remove dust protection covers from the smoke detectors until all polluting
activities (such as construction work) are finished and the area has been cleaned.
Hint!
Further information about loop units and cabling can be found in chapter Fire
Detection Installation Guidelines, page 35.
Figure 3. Typical connection diagram for SCI functionality in all loop units
NOTE!
The illustrated SCI units above are polarity dependent.
Figure 4. Typical connection diagram for SCI functionality in selected loop units
NOTE!
* Maximum 32 detector heads of Type 1A/1B
The illustrated SCI units above are polarity dependent.
In order to become operational, all addressable loop units such as detectors, manual
call points, etc. that are connected to the Loop M loop module must be given an
address between 1-254.
NOTE!
Loop units located on a single physical loop must be given unique addresses.
The value of the address is set according to the switches set to ON position as
shown in the following figure:
By setting the switches numbered 1,2,3,4 and 6 to the ON position, the address is
configured as 1+2+4+8+32 = 47.
NOTE!
After setting the address, remove the label attached to the detector and use it to seal
the address switch.
Address units
In addition to the address DIP switch, address units and I/O units are equipped with
an ID DIP switch. This ID DIP switch determines the unit’s functionality.
Addressable timers
The addressable timers are located on the detector loop in the same way as any
loop unit.
For UR-2/UR-2K type timers, three DIP switches are set as follows:
NOTE!
Timers do not affect the function of the manual call points or heat detectors.
1 For detailed information, refer to the data sheet for corresponding unit.
Follow this instruction to set the address and the functions of the Repeater M 4.3.
4 Proceed to choose address (according to parameters defined for the system) and layout
for the Repeater module:
1. Enter Central Address
2. Enter Module Address
3. Enter Layout (Marine or Transport)
For all menu alternatives use the arrow keys to scroll and select. Confirm with the Local
Mute key.
Follow the instructions on the lower part of the screen.
5 Reboot (power off/on) the Repeater module (it can take the module up to one minute to
restart).
Example:
When activation of buzzers in a Zone is initiated for a first time, Loop will measure
current consumption of the groups and based on it decided if all groups of the zone
can be activated simultaneously or pulsed signal shall be used.
Loop x Group 1 (Zone 1, Addresses 1-60) are activated if current consumption is <
190 mA
NOTE!
Groups are not active simultaneously.
In order to further decrease current consumption on the loop, the number of loop
units with steady light LEDs are restricted to four.
If more than four loop units on the loop detects fire, only the first four loop units
will indicate fire with steady light LEDs and the rest will indicate fire with blinking
LEDs.
The Loop M X module remembers in which order the loop units detected fire, so if
a fire alarm in a loop unit is reset the next loop unit that detected fire will switch
from blinking light to steady light.
Summary
• The Broadcast Buzzers functionality is limited to CN- and EV-Series (not
EV-PP/XXX) of detectors, since it is the only detector type that supports
broadcasts on the loop line.
• Max 8 Groups per loop.
• Max 65 detectors per group.
• If not all groups can be activated at the same time without violating maximum
current consumption of 190 mA, as many groups as possible is turned on for 1
second, then turned off and other groups are turned on, and so on.
Refer to Central Unit Terminal & Cabling Layout, page 77 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 Verification
Hint!
To verify cable status and loop unit addresses, it is possible to confirm the
addressable detector loops with a SE3000 test device before making connections to
the central unit.
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 conventional zone cable has been tested and is free from faults, the next
step is to connect it to the central.

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.

5 Commissioning Requirements
5.1 Prerequisite
The procedure described below in Loop Requirements 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.
The list in Part A: Loop Configuration includes all data you need when configuring
the loops. Part B: Loop Status is more like a checklist - follow it point by point.
When you have completed this part you should have filled in, signed and faxed the
special document Address List and Test Report, page 68, one for each loop in the
system. Part C: Central Status is also a checklist, but it deals with the status of the
central unit.
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 Each loop unit shall be given a unique address. For analogue addressable units, refer to
Address List and Test Report, page 68.
4 Connect cables to loop unit terminals according to the data sheet for that loop unit.
5 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.
6 When testing loop units, follow the testing instructions provided with the testing device.
NOTE!
Use appropriate test equipment.
See section Recommended Test Equipment, page 25.
7 Check the addresses of all loop units one at a time, according to Address List and Test
Report.
8 A test report must be filled in for each loop as described in Address List and Test
Report. Check each single detector and tick off on each checked address.
9 After each loop is completely tested, the person in charge of the loop installation must
sign the test report as described in Address List and Test Report.
10 Send one copy of the signed test protocol to your local Consilium office or authorized
representative.
11 When all loops 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.
5.6 Summary
For each loop, a test report as described in Address List and Test Report, page 68
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 cabinet 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.
• Set the address on every loop unit. Also set the ID on loop units which are
equipped with an ID DIP switch.
• After the loop unit address is set, place the adhesive label over the address DIP
switch to seal it. (Only applicable for detectors equipped with DIP switch.)
• 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.
• Mark each loop unit with zone and address number. For detectors, the
markings shall be placed on the base, not on the detector head since it might be
replaced in the future. Also keep this in mind when marking other types of
loop units. Special adhesive labels for marking are available from Consilium or
one of Consilium's representatives.
• 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 cables that are
two (2) meters longer than needed, 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.)
• 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.
Short Circuit Isolator, page 40.
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.
• Install a heat detector in the center of the ceiling and where it can work reliably
and provide the best detection of heat.
• A heat detector’s minimum distance from a wall or a bulkhead is 0.5 m.
• A heat detector is installed a maximum distance of 4.5 m from a wall or a
bulkhead. The maximum distance between two heat detectors is 9 m.
• Connect the detector to an address unit located outside the cold area and in an
environment suitable for it's IP class, and where it can easily be accessed for
service. The maximum cable length between the detector and the address unit
is 25 m.
• The address should be set on the address unit and the function ID switch (small
DIP switch) should be set.
• An end-of-line resistor shall be fitted inside the detector base if the detector is
the last unit on the sub-loop.
• Installation shall preferably be hidden from the public but easily accessible for
service.
• The short circuit isolators must be connected with correct polarity.
with an SCI. It is important to have the SCI close to where the cable changes to
a new fire detection zone.
• If Isolator-A is used as an intrinsically safe isolator and there are more than
five detectors on the Ex-spur, two parallel SCIs must be installed before and
after each IS isolator.
NOTE!
The SCI function between the IS isolators can also be
achieved by installing a detector or other loop unit equipped
with SCI.
6.1.12 Timers
• The timer unit is used for the temporary disablement of detectors in areas
where smoke or heat can occur under normal circumstances.
• The timer should be mounted for easy access and operation and well marked
with its function.
• For UR-2 type timers:
In addition to the address DIP switch, the address interval for the detectors to
be disabled must be set on the timer’s extra DIP switches.
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 22. 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:
6.3.5 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 involved power supply
and communication cables must be included in each separate route according
to the drawings.
• 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 entered from 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 of fuel oil tank,
except cables ending in these spaces.
6.3.8 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.
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.

5 Target will reboot and start the new firmware.
• The target hardware may be lacking a BIOS, or have a BIOS with an incorrect
version name. This prevents target reboot.
For instructions on how to solve this, refer to Upgrade BIOS, page 51.
• The target hardware may be running a firmware before 1.1.1 and therefore can
not respond.
In this case you can try and reboot the target manually.
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 54.
1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Control M X For instructions to use CCP Firmware
and use the firmware updater software (CCP Update Tool, please refer to Upgrade
Firmware Update Tool). Firmware in a Control Module via
Ethernet (Control M X without USB

central. Upgrade the firmware in the
remaining CCP modules, page 55.
In addition to meeting the DNV requirements and regulation 6.4.2 of Chapter III in
the SOLAS the general alarm functionality meets the requirements of paragraph
7.2.1 of the LSA Code and IMO Resolution A.830(19): Code on Alarms and
Indicators, 1995. The CCP fire alarm system also conforms to the requirements in
IEC-90945.
In general, the sound level during general alarm should be a least 10 dB(A) above
the ambient noise level in all accommodation spaces, service spaces, control
stations and engine room spaces. Inside the cabins, the sound level should be at
least 75dB(A) at the sleeping position. In no case should alarm level in a space
exceed 120dB(A).
To comply with the DNV requirements the alarm devices must either have one
fused alarm circuit pr. deck or be connected to a ring loop as shown in Figure 23.
Figure 24. shows the redundancy in power supply to all units in the system. The
system is power supplied both from the main 230 V supply and the emergency 230
V supply. The backup batteries must be calculated to last for at least 30 minutes.
Figure 25. shows the functionality of the general alarm system and the priority of
alarms.

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.
