2.1 Description

The BS-100 Loop Interface BSD-330, referred to as Loop Interface throughout this handbook, is used as an interface between the

AutroSafe detector loop protocol and analogue addresssable loop protocols. The Loop Interface makes it possible to connect analogue addressable detectors to the AutroSafe system, including detectors used in systems BS-3, BS-30, BS-60, BS-80, BS-90 and BS-100.

The Loop Interface is easily plugged onto a mounting rail inside the

AutroSafe Fire-Alarm Control Panel (BS-310/320) or the Controller

(BC-320).

One analogue addressable loop, with a maximum of 99 detectors and manual call-points (maximum 99 addresses), can be connected to each Loop Interface.

3.1 Maximum Number of Analogue Addressable Loops

Connected to an AutroSafe Panel

3.1.1 General

When interfacing analogue addressable loops to the AutroSafe system, the loops should be distributed on several AutroSafe panels

(BS-320/BC-320).

• A maximum of eight Loop Interfaces can be mounted in one

AutroSafe panel when using Power Module BSS-310A

(BSS-310A is the latest version).

• A maximum of three Loop Interfaces can be mounted in one

AutroSafe panel when using Power Module BSS-310.

3.1.2 How to calculate the maximum number of I/O-modules

This chapter provides information on how to calculate the maximum number of I/O-modules in an AutroSafe panel (BS-320/BC-320) equipped with BSD-330 and standard AutroSafe I/O-modules.

Power module BSS-310 and BSS-310A supply I/O-modules with regulated 24VDC and 5VDC.

The maximum number of installed I/O-modules is determined by the maximum current consumption from the internal regulated 24VDC and

5VDC.

Page 6

Planning

The table on the previous page shows that the most critical I/Omodules in this context are the BSD-loop modules. When configuring the number of BSD-loop modules, the “worst-case scenario” has to be taken into consideration; that is in the event of an alarm on the detector loop with a maximum number of activated loop sounders

BBR-200. This may give a current consumption of 140mA for power module BSD-310 and 280mA for power module BSD-311.

The worst case is in the event of an alarm on multiple BSD-311 loops with a maximum number of activated loop sounders BBR-200.

It is important that an individual calculation of the panel functions is done for each panel installation to ensure that the panel and functions will work properly with the installed I/O-modules.

An exact figure for calculated I/O-modules is not possible before the total configuration for the panel is known.

Note that the description above refers to 24V regulated DC.

Current consumption to sounder outputs (BSB-310) and control outputs are supplied from the 27,3V battery, and not from the 24V regulated DC.

3.1.3 Calculation example

The table below shows a calculation example.

Modules 24VDC reg

5 BSD-330 modules (85mAx5) 425mA

2 BSD-310 modules (140mAx2) 280mA

1 BSB-310 module 15mA

2 BSJ-310 module (7mAx2) 14mA

5VDC reg

190mA

3,2mA

1,6mA

3,0mA

1 BSL-310 module 22mA 2,7mA

Total 756mA

200,5mA

756mA from regulated 24VDC is OK. This means that we can use both BSS-310 and BSS-310A.

200,5mA from regulated 5VDC is too much for BSS-310.

Conclusion: the configuration is OK if the power module BSS-310A is used.

3.2 BS-100 DYFI Functions Supported by AutroSafe

The following BS-100 DYFI functions are supported by AutroSafe, using the Loop Interface:

• transient filter

• ATS values presented as SMS values

• detector alarm limits (high/normal/low)

• loop characteristics (normal/long)

• 24-character detector addresses (tag names), and 34-character detection-zone (DZ) addresses

• panel addresses A-Z

• possibility of importing files, including FireSys text (34 characters), to the AutroSafe Configuration Tool (BSDETECT.DAT file)

3.3 Analogue Addressable Functions Not Supported

by AutroSafe

The following analogue addressable functions are not supported by

AutroSafe using the Loop Interface:

• pollution algorithm

• address control

• calculation of performance factor

• “smouldering fire” algorithm

• printout of detector sensitivity

• printout of detector sensitivity beyond limit

• printout of customer-specified configuration from front panel

• BK-50 functions (zone-control unit in the BS-60 system)



Page 8

Planning

3.4 Transfer of Loop Data from Existing Analogue

Addressable Systems

Analogue addressable systems BS-100, BS-80 and BS-90 use the

FireSys configuration tool to generate a BSDETECT.DAT. file, which includes installation reference numbers and detector text. If such a file is available, the data can easily be imported using an import function

in the AutroSafe Configuration Tool. See chapter 5 in this handbook.

If a BSDETECT.DAT. file is not available, this information has to be

added manually. See chapter 5 in this handbook.

3.5 Analogue Addressable System Functions Not

Imported into AutroSafe

Not all functions are imported from systems BS-100, BS-80 and BS-

90 into the AutroSafe system. These include the following:

• All control functions must be defined manually in the AutroSafe

Configuration Tool

• Additional text for printers used in the BS-100 system cannot be implemented in the AutroSafe system

• Alarm-sounder outputs must be defined manually in the AutroSafe

Configuration Tool

• Zones configured with the FireSys configuration tool cannot be imported into the AutroSafe system

• Group disablements configured with the FireSys configuration tool must be defined manually in the AutroSafe Configuration Tool

3.6 Response Time of Manual Call-Points –

British Standards

According to British Standards, an alarm signal must appear on the panel display within three seconds of the activation of a manual callpoint (response time). In order to meet this requirement, manual callpoints cannot be assigned an address higher than 40 on an analogue addressable loop.



Page 9

Planning

3.7 Control Outputs

Each Loop Interface (BSD-330) has one control output (open collector). This control output is activated in the event of an alarm on the corresponding analogue addressable loop.

The control output can be used as a common control output for all loop units on an analogue addressable loop. The functionality of the control output, and particularly the reset function, is similar to standard control outputs.

3.8 Cable Requirements

The Loop Interface has a plug-in terminal block for cables up to

2.5mm

2

.

3.9 Connection of Parallel Operation Panels and

Display Units

BU-100 Parallel Operation Panels and BU-70 Display Units can be connected to AutroSafe panels by use of a protocol converter BSL-

337 and an RS-232/20mA CL Converter BSL-12/2. There can be a maximum of 32 panels divided on 2x16 panels, connected to 2 serial communication ports on EAU-321.

4.1 Mounting the Loop Interface

• Plug the Loop Interface(s) onto the mounting rail inside the

AutroSafe Fire-Alarm Control Panel (BS-310/320) or the Controller

(BC-320)

• Note that the Power Module BSS-310A must always be mounted in the lowest position, with the Communication Module BSL-310 mounted directly above BSS-310A

4.2 Random Delay Period

Shortly after power-up, each BSD-330 Loop Interface will carry out a short-circuit test of its loop output. This test causes a high current consumption for approximately 40ms. If more than 3 Loop Interfaces carry out this test simultaneously, the BSS-310 or BSS-310A will not be able to supply the current that is required. Consequently, the Loop

Interfaces will not start and will continously attempt to restart.

The BSS-310A power module can supply the current which is required for start-up of a maximum of 3 Loop Interfaces in parallel.

To overcome a start-up problem with more than 3 loop interfaces, a random delay period has been configured for each loop interface.This random delay period makes it possible to start up a maximum of 8

BSD-330s at different delay periods.

The random delay period is printed on the acceptance label on the

Loop Interface (BSD-330).



Page 11

Installation

• Note that when installing Loop Interfaces it is important to select modules with different delay periods.

4.3 Connecting the Analogue Addressable Loop

to the Loop Interface

• Refer to the drawings below, and connect the analogue addressable loop to the Loop Interface

• Use the plug-in terminal block on the BSD-330, and connect the cables as follows:

5. Configuration

5.1 Introduction

The AutroSafe Configuration Tool has an import function that allows you to import installation reference numbers and detector text from an existing analogue addressable system, including systems

BS-100, BS-80 and BS-90.

The configuration of these systems is done by means of the FireSys configuration tool. The FireSys tool is similar to the AutroSafe

Configuration Tool, and is used to generate detector text and control data. The import file which is generated is called “BSDETECT.DAT. file”.

• If a BSDETECT.DAT. file is available, data can easily be imported

using the import function in the “Tools” menu. See chapter 5.6.

• If a BSDETECT.DAT. file is not available, the loop units and corresponding data have to be added manually using the

AutroSafe Configuration Tool. See chapter 5.7.

5.3.1 Detection Zone Text

When importing a BSDETECT.DAT. file to the AutroSafe

Configuration Tool, each “detector address” (loop units in the BS-100,

BS-80 and BS-90 systems) is automatically connected to a detection zone (DZ).

Each detector text is automatically assigned to the detection zone (a maximum of 34 characters).

5.3.2 Loop-Unit Tag Names – Detector Addresses

When importing a BSDETECT.DAT. file to the AutroSafe

Configuration Tool, detector addresses defined in the analogue addressable system (for example, 0001) will automatically appear as loop-unit tag names (for example, BS100_LOOP_UNIT, 0001).

If more than one panel is used, prefixes A to Z must be added manually.



Page 15

Configuration

5.4 Loop Topology for BS-100 Interfaced Detectors

AutroSafe Detector Loop

AutroSafe loop units are addressed by the software in the AutroSafe system with an LSI (Loop Sequence Index), a loop-specific index, specifying the exact loop unit order on the loop (sequentially numbered).

This means that the loop units are addressed according to their physical position on the loop.

1 2 3 4 5 6 24 25

Loop Sequence Indexes

BS-100 detectors are addressed by means of DIP-switches in each detector. The addresses are totally independent of the detectors’ physical locations on the loop.

Configuration

5.7 Configuring the Loop Interface – Adding Loop Units

Manually

• Add the Loop Interface (BSD-330) to a panel (BS-310/320,

BC-320) in the “System View”

• Add a closed loop to the Loop Interface (BSD-330)

• Add a BS-100 loop unit to the closed loop, then connect it to a detection zone

• Continue adding more Loop Interfaces, if necessary, and connect each unit to a detection zone

• If several Loop Interfaces are to be added, make sure that each

Loop Interface is given a unique name, for example, BSD-330/1,

BSD-330/2 etc.

5.8 Configuring Properties for the Loop

The following shows the “Property View” for the Loop Interface:

• In the “Property View”, determine the appropriate value for each property

Property Name Description

• Verify that the imported data is correct (AutroSafe Configuration

Tool)

• Verify the detection zone text (maximum 34 characters) and the loop-unit tag name

5.12 Configuring Control Outputs

Each Loop Interface (BSD-330) has one control output (open collector).

The control output can be used as a common control output for all loop units on an analogue addressable loop. The functionality of the control output, and particularly the reset function, is similar to standard control outputs.

6. Commissioning

6.1 Commissioning Procedure

• Refer to the standard commissioning procedure for the AutroSafe system, and download the configuration files

• Start the initialising procedure

For further information, refer to the AutroSafe Commissioning

Handbook.

6.2 Short-Circuit Test

During power-up of the Loop Interfaces (BSD-330), an automatic short-circuit test of the detector loop is carried out. This test causes a current pulse on the +24V output from the BSS-310A power module.

• Make sure that Loop Interfaces with different delay periods have

been used during installation (see Installation, chapter 4)

The BSS-310A power module can supply the current which is required for up to three

Loop Interfaces. If more than three Loop Interfaces are used, a system restart will occur.

To overcome this problem, a random delay period has been configured for each Loop

Interface.

A random delay period is printed on the acceptance label on the Loop Interface (BSD-

330).
