Cerberus PRO – enjoy protecting

Protecting people and assets. Securing business processes and continuity.

This is what fire protection is all about. Cerberus™ PRO is a powerful fire pro-
tection system for fast, reliable fire detection, alarm signaling and control. Its
wide portfolio of innovative products provides clever technology with extensive
safety features for small to very large applications. So you can be sure to meet
your application with confidence.

Moreover, detectors with our unique ASAtechnology™ offer advanced signal

analysis and selectable parameter sets. As a result, they ensure very fast and
highly reliable detection of the fire criteria smoke, heat and carbon monoxide
even in the most demanding application areas – from data centers to indus-
trial production facilities. For you this means maximum safety and optimal
protection of people and assets, without false alarms.

Benefits
Unique safety features
Cerberus PRO provides a great number of safety features for earliest detection of fire, heat and smoke as well as fast reaction in case of an event.
Moreover, the detector range covers all applications from standard to sophisticated and ensures reliable detection with no false alarms. This translates for
you into ensured business continuity and peace of mind.

Cost efficiency
Cerberus PRO also stands for less costs. First of all, ensured business continuity results in both cost and time savings, as you will have no process inter-
ruptions. Moreover, Cerberus PRO is a future-proof investment that lets you benefit from reduced planning efforts as well as low life cycle costs.

Available through Siemens-approved partners

Cerberus PRO is available through Siemens-approved partners who also offer reliable support. Whether sophisticated fire safety technology or compre-

Backbone
The backbone is an innovative, EN 54-approved industrial LAN network
that offers increased planning flexibility. It enables you to network up to
64 panels, optimally adapt Cerberus PRO to any building or process struc-
ture and realize campus-wide solutions. Two independent, EN 54-approved
Ethernet switches are all you need to connect one cluster with up to
16 panels to a fiber-optic backbone. Up to 14 clusters can be connected
to a backbone. Since they are then seen as one network, one central
access point is sufficient to connect the remote transmission to the fire
brigade, pager and a danger management system.

The Cerberus PRO network can be integrated into a danger management

system from Siemens, needing only one Ethernet switch. Additional
Backbone (C-WEB/LAN) security equipment, such as a firewall, is needed to integrate a danger
Cluster (C-WEB/SAFEDLINK) management system via a customer network.
