2.5.2 Releasing the Front Panel From the Cabinet


After opening the front door and releasing the flat cables from the printed
circuit (ref. sub-section 2.5.1), the front panel may be removed from the
cabinet.
The front panel and the cabinet are joined by industrial Velcro fixed to
both the sidewall surfaces (see cross-section).
To lock the front panel to the cabinet, self-tapping locking screws (X) has
to be screwed into the side frame of the front panel (see diagram). This
will also give an earth connection between the side profiles and connection
box.
These screws must be fully removed before removing the front from the
cabinet. Screwtype: No. 6 x19.
The panel is released by inserting a screwdriver through the 2 no. 5mm
holes (Y) in each side, or in between the front and the cabinet along the
sides (Z).
In either case, the screwdriver is levered outwards to prise the Velcro apart
(see photograph and diagram).

Endload (E)BXY-40 has to be mounted in the last detector on the zone
cable.
Input 64 enables external activation of alarm management, which means
delayed activation of the AK- outputs and the BMA- outputs. Standard
delay time is 5 minutes. For maritime application, a 2 minute delay on the
AK- output applies. BMA is not delayed (appendix 7.5).

3.7 Connecting the Detectors


In accordance with regulations, a detector zone may include up to 32
detectors or manual call-points. Automatic detectors and manual call-
points may be combined in the same zone. Disabling a zone should not
disable the manual call-points in the zone (this regulation may vary from
country to country).

3.8 Connecting the Alarm Outputs


The control panel has two (2) sounder outputs which are activated in
parallel when an alarm is given. The outputs give a 24V DC pulsing
voltage on alarm and are monitored for breaks and short circuiting.
Maximum load per circuit is 0.63A. A 2kOhm monitoring resistance is
installed across the terminals in the last sounder.

3.9 Connection of external Control Output Relays

There is a control output for each detector zone (loop), one common for all
zones and one for disabled zones. The outputs are supplied as transistor
controls (open collectors); one control per zone (L1. 51-L1.48).
The 24V output (44, 45) has a 0.63A fuse (F1).

3.10 Common Alarm Output (BMA)


The output can be used for alarm transfer to an external fire alarm
receiving station (for example, the fire brigade). The output consists of a
non-monitored potentialfree relay output (L15-17), plus a break and
shortcircuit monitored power output (L18,19). The monitored power
output requires a 2kΩ end resistor and a diode connected in series with the
relay coil (sounder). The output is activated at alarm from a zone and is
active until the system has been reset. During alarm delay (immediate
alarm disabled), the alarm output will have the same delay as the alarm
sounder outputs (AK).

4.5.1 Temperature compensated charging of battery


The charger in BX-10 is charging with temperature compensated voltage.
That’s mean that the charging voltage is reduced when temperature
increase. The charging characteristic is 27,4V dc at 20°C and will change
with a compensation factor of –4mV/battery cell/°C,
For a 24V battery this will give a charging voltage at 28,5V at 0°C and
26,4V at 40°C.

4.5.2 Adjusting the charging voltage


If there should be necessary to adjust the charging voltage, there is a
potmeter inside the power supply unit.
Unscrew the two fixing screws on top of the unit and bend the unit out and
remove the cover. Measure the charging voltage and turn the motmeter to
the correct voltage (27,4VDC/20°C).
The panel and battery shall be maintained at least 24h at the ambient
temperature before adjusting the charging voltage.

BX-10 is tested and approved with batteries from Power-Sonic Europe.


Battery capacity is 12V/3Ah.
If battery from other companies are used, please check the charging
characteristic for the battery type and if necessary adjust the charging
voltage.

4.6 Final Task


• Close the front door and tighten the locking screw in the base.

4.7 Operating Levels


The BX-10 control panel has 2 operating levels. Level 1 is the lowest level
and does not require a password. For the higher level (operator level), the
operator is required to enter a password from the keyboard. Cancelling
alarms and resetting/disabling operations are carried out on the operator
level (Operator Level 2). For a more detailed overview of operating levels,
refer to the Operating Manual for BX-10.
Operator code: 110 + .

4.8 Commissioning Checks


• Check that all automatic detectors and manual call-points give alarm.
• Check that the alarm outputs are activated on alarm.
• Check that the detectors and manual call-points function correctly
during zone (loop) disablement. As a standard feature, manual call-
points will remain operative even when a zone is disabled (this may
vary from country to country depending on national regulations).
• Check that the power consumption on the power and control outputs
does not exceed the safety value.
• Check that the system functions correctly with reference to the
Operating Manual.

4.9 Configuration
The BX-10 fire alarm control panel is supplied in a standard version from
the manufacturer.

5.1 Disabling/Restoring of Zones (loops) from Aux. Switch


All disabling and activating operations (of zones, alarm outputs, control
outputs and alarm transfers) can be implemented from the front panel
using the keys 1-8 followed by when the control panel is in operator
mode.

Each of the four detector zones can also be disabled via external disabling
switches connected between terminals 1 and 6 (zone 1), 2 and 6 (zone 2), 3
and 6 (zone 3) and 4 and 6 (zone 4). The zone is disabled as long as the
contact is closed.
A cycle timer can be used for variable time-controlled disabling.
IMPORTANT: When a zone (detector loop) is disabled the detectors will
be disabled, while manual call-points will remain active.
If a zone is disabled using an auxiliary switch, it will not be possible to re-
activate the zone from the control panel’s front panel.
With each disabling operation (from either the front panel or an auxiliary
switch), the output for auxiliary warning of a disabled zone (output 47 -
AUX1) will be activated (e.g. this may be used to activate an auxiliary
warning light).
NB!
All disabling will be automatically restored after 24 hours.
• Disabled zones in BX-10L for agricultural are automatically restored
after 4 hours.
• BX-10I for intruder version, zone 4 will not be automatically restored.

5.2 Activating Alarm Delay from an Auxiliary Switch


To avoid causing any unnecessary disturbances at specific times of the day
and night, it is possible to disable immediate alarm warnings. When
immediate alarm is disabled (i.e. when alarm delay is active), 5 minutes
will elapse before the sounders start to ring and the general alarm output
(BMA) is activated. For example, it may be desirable to activate the alarm
delay during the day and deactivate it during the night (D/N function).
The “immediate warning mode” can be disabled either by using either the
external switch/timer device or from the front panel by pressing 9 + in
operator mode (see Operating Manual).
If alarm delay is activated using an auxiliary switch, it will not be possible
to deactivate the delay from the control panel, i.e. the switch overrides the
key code.
An external switch for activating/deactivating alarm delay can be installed
on terminals 60 and 64 in the control panel. Delay is activated when the
contact is closed.
NB!
Activation of alarm delay (D/N function) is restored automatically after 12
hours (note 5.2.1).
When alarm delay is active, the following indicators on the front panel will
come on (note 5.2.1):
• LED for common disabling
• LED for immediate warning disabled

6.1 Annual Service


The whole system (control panel, detectors, alarms and control functions)
should be inspected annually. An annual service inspection comprises the
following:
• Visual inspection of the control panel.
• Testing of indicator lights and internal audio warning device.
• Testing of all operating keys by pressing and checking that a short
“PIP” is heard with each press.
• Disabling of any alarm transference to the fire service/alarm control
panel.
• Testing of sounders by activating an alarm from a manual call-point.
• Checking of all manual call-points and detectors in each zone.
• Activation of alarm from at least one detector/manual call-point in each
zone and a check that all respective outputs are activated.
• Testing the action of any auxiliary operating functions (disabling,
cancelling and resetting buttons).
• Checking of alarm transference outputs (BMA, if used) by connecting
from outgoing outputs (potential free relay and 24V output) activated
by alarm in a zone.
• Checking of fault warning function from detector zones by removing a
detector in each zone.
• Testing of charging voltage to the battery (terminals 26(+) and 27(-)
approx. 27.2V at 20-25°C.
• A battery voltage check by disconnecting from the charger and
measuring the voltage across the battery after approx. 1-2 minutes.
The voltage should be >24.5V.
• A change of battery every 4 years.

The batteries are marked with a label which indicates the manufacture

7.2 Positioning of Detectors


(“Regulations for Automatic Fire Alarm Systems” issued by insurance
companies in Norway).
a) The number and position of automatic fire detectors depends on the
detector type, size/condition of the room, ceiling/roof construction,
ceiling/roof height, ventilation situation and fire-risk classification.

b) Roofs and ceilings with falls shallower than 1:10 are defined as flat.
Roofs with falls of 1:10 and steeper, together with arched roofs, are
defined as sloping roofs, and (a row of) detectors should be placed at
the highest point (the ridge).

The height of the roof is equal to the max. height of the room.

c) All references to beams in these regulations, mean sealed beams, etc.,


that prevent the free movement of hot air and smoke between the roof
sections. If there is doubt as to whether beams should be regarded as
sealed, the insurance company will assess the situation.

d) The distance from a detector and between detectors should be measured


horizontally, unless specified otherwise.

e) Detectors should not be placed closer than 0.5 m to a wall unless the
room is less than 1.0 m wide/deep. Exemption from this rule requires
written dispensation from the insurance company.

f) The distance between stacked commodities, storage shelves, etc., and


detectors should be at least 0.5 m.

g) In areas/passageways between shelves, etc., where the height from the


top of stacked goods or shelves to the ceiling/roof, beams, etc., is less
than 0.5 m, so that the free movement of air is impeded, detectors
should be positioned as if these areas were separate rooms.

h) If detectors are to be positioned in the vicinity of beams or ventilation


ducts, etc., which are positioned less than 15 cm from the roof/ceiling,
then the detectors must be placed at a minimum 0.5 m from these, or at
a distance equivalent to the height hb/hk (see below) from the
underside of the beam/duct to the roof/ceiling.

< 15 cm
≥ 0,5m ≥ hb ell. hb
≥ 0,5 mm hk
≥ hb ell.
≥ 0,5 mm

i) Detectors should be placed a minimum 1 m from air-conditioning


inlets/outlets.

Autronica Fire and Security AS
Page 38
Appendix

j) Where the roof construction comprises perforated cladding, allowing


the free flow of air through the perforations, an area of 1m2 around the
detector should be sealed.

7.3 Installation of Heat Detectors.


The monitoring distance/area of cover for a heat detector is Class 1.
No part of a roof/ceiling should have a horizontal distance (cover distance)
or cover area greater than that stated in the table below.
Ceiling/roof height Cover distance Cover area
(m) 2
0 - 2.5 m 4.5 m 30 m
2
2.51 - 4 m 4.5 m 30 m
2
4.01 - 6 m 3.5 m 20 m

a) Heat detectors should always be installed in ceilings/roofs.

b) In rooms where building components, ventilation ducts, etc., are


suspended under the ceiling/roof at a greater distance than 15 cm, heat
detectors can normally be positioned without having to take these
components/ducts into consideration.

c) In buildings with shed roofs, each shed should be installed with


detectors positioned 1m from the ridge and in that part of the roof
which has the least incline.

7.4 Installation of Smoke Detectors


The monitoring distance/area of cover for a smoke detector.
No part of a roof/ceiling should have a horizontal distance (cover distance)

7.5 BX-10 Control Panel variants


BX-10 can now be supplied with variants of the system program adapted
for particular markets and special functions, e.g. the agricultural industry,
maritime installations, and control panels to which intruder detectors can
be connected.
Special program versions for specific countries are also available. If the
program features for the individual country do not vary in relation to the
Norwegian version, then only the front panel notation (language) is
different.
The following versions are available:
BX-10 Standard version, Norwegian.
BX-10L Agricultural version, Norwegian.
BX-10I Fire and intruder version, Norwegian.
BX-10LI Agricultural version with fire and intruder detection,
Norwegian.
BX-10M Maritime version.
BX-10M2 Maritime special version
BX-10M/ xx-24 Maritime version, 24V DC powered
BX-10M2/ xx-24 Maritime special version, 24V DC powered
BX-10/S1 Swedish version.
BX-10I/S1 Swedish version with fire and intruder detection
BX-10/NL Dutch version

Language variants of standard versions are denoted by BX-10M/xx, where


xx is the language code.

Brief explanation of what is unique about the different control panel variants.

BX-10: Standard Norwegian version (program P1BX10-110-xx)


This version has an automatic safety coupling for disabled
functions after 12 and 24 hours. This means that:
• disabled detector zones (loops) are automatically restored
after 24 hours (oversight safety coupling). This automatic
coupling overrides any disabling via an external trip
switch with a closed contact.
• disabling of immediate detection (D/N function) is
automatically restored after 12 hours.

BX-10L: Agricultural version (P1BX10-112-xx)


This version has a 4-hour automatic safety coupling feature for
disabled loops. Otherwise it is identical to the standard version.

BX-10I: Fire and intruder detection (P1BX10-111-xx).


This version does not have automatic safety coupling for loop
4. This enables intruder detectors on loop 4 to be disabled with
the possibility for manual disabling/restoring via an external
code switch on input 4.

BX-10LI: Agricultural version with fire and intruder detection
