Addressable Detection System
I. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
I.1 Introduction
The Addressable Detection System is the result of the latest techniques in fire detection and
is the natural evolution of the Identifiable Detection System towards equipment, which is not only able
to identify the element causing the alarm (detector or button), but enables the total configuration of
detection parameters (pre-alarm/alarm levels, sensitivity...) and also the adaptation of the unit to
ambient conditions and to the ageing of the detector.
The Cofem Addressable Detection System is therefore an evolution of its predecessor, the
Identifiable Detection System, with the added features of analogue detection.
Therefore the loop elements (detectors, buttons and relay modules) in the Cofem Addressable
Detection System are self-coded, meaning that they can all be installed without the need for a prior
manual codification, which helps tremendously in assembly and later modifications of the system.
I. 2 Operation principles
Analogue Detection Systems are based on the measurement and transmission of the
instantaneous value of the controlled magnitude (concentration of smoke or temperature), which is
then processed in the control centre, which determines the alarm or stand-by mode of the alarm.
Temperature and smoke concentration are transduced through the corresponding sensor into
electrical voltages related to the magnitude measured (see figure 1).

Figure 1. Ratio between the physical magnitude measured (t = temperature, y = smoke concentration)
and the voltage delivered by the transducer (V).
After a linearisation process, a proportionality ratio is achieved between the measured

magnitude and the electrical voltage:
V = k1 ⋅ t o V = k 2 ⋅ y k1 , k 2 = cons tan t
3
The main difference between conventional detection systems and the analogue system
lies in the fact that in the former, the voltage delivered by the transducer is compared with a
pre-set, fixed threshold value (Valarm), obtaining the mode of system stand-by or system in alarm
from this comparison (see figure 2).

On the other hand, in the analogue detection system, , the value delivered by the
transducer is constantly registered and processed, and it is possible to act on the
detection parameters, such as the alarm threshold (see figure 3).

Figure 3. Adaptable alarm threshold in an Analogue Detection System
With this type of system, not only is it possible to vary the sensitivity of the detector,
but it is also possible to adapt sensitivity to ambient conditions or to the loss of sensitivity
associated to ageing of the sensor (figure 4).
4
In the Analogue Detection System used by Cofem, each detector transmits its
analogue value to the control station, every 8 seconds. The control station collects the
readings of each detector and decides on its mode depending on the instantaneous readings,
the previous readings (past), the programmed parameters and the decision algorithm.
Each detector incorporates a microprocessor to digitalise the analogue value read in

the sensor, the transmission of this value to the control station and the identification of the
detector.

Transmission of data is through a PWM modulation (pulse width modulation) which

ensures high immunity from electromagnetic noise and possible degradation of line
impedance.
II- COMPONENTS OF THE ADDRESSABLE DETECTION SYSTEM
The Analogue Detection System is composed of detectors and other loop-related

elements, together with the control station.
5
All loop-related elements in the Analogue Detection System are self-coding and
therefore do not require manual coding prior to installation.
II.1 Detectors
COFEM currently offers the following type of analogue detectors:
SIHA: Analogue Ionic Smoke Detector

STA: Analogue Temperature Detector
II.1.1. Ionic Detector (SIHA)
The ionic detector measures the concentration of smoke particles per unit of volume
present in the environment. If Y is the non-dimensional parameter proportional to the
concentration of smoke, Y should be almost zero in clean atmosphere, increasing as the
environment becomes contaminated.
The dynamic processing algorithms implemented in the control station, use values
Ypre-alarm and Yalarm, as trigger levels of the Pre-alarm and Alarm respectively (figure 7). Both
levels are pre-set at:
Ypre-alarm = 40 Yalarm = 55
And can be manually modified from the central station.

tiempo (seg.)
Figure 7. Variation of the concentration of smoke with time. Pre-alarm and Alarm levels
If we define sensitivity of the detector as its greater or lesser capacity to detect

concentrations of smoke, we can interpret the Pre-alarm as a highly sensitive measure in the
concentration of environmental smoke. The Pre-alarm is used as an indicator of the sudden
increase in smoke concentration, and when this exceeds the Pre-alarm Level
for two or more consecutive readings, an optic and acoustic signal appears in the control
station, which disappears as the concentration is reduced below the pre-alarm level.
When the concentration of smoke increases above the Alarm Level and stays there for
two or more consecutive readings, the Alarm is activated (figures 8 and 9).

The Analogue Detection System registers changes in environmental conditions, by simply

averaging the readings made during sufficiently long periods of time. This information is used to
adapt the detector to slow variations in the environment, thereby avoiding the alarm from being
unnecessarily activated. Figure 10 shows how the ionic detector displaces the Pre-alarm and Alarm
levels as a result of slow increases in the concentration of environmental smoke. We see that the
distance between the level Yenvironment (Yenvironment = 9, in total absence of smoke) and Ypre-alarm, and
between this and Yalarm, they remain constant matching the values selected from the control station
(figure 10).

Another phenomenon behind the increase in the concentration of smoke registered during
prolonged periods of time, is a result of ageing of the sensor, meaning a loss of sensitivity. The
adaptation operation described enables a constant sensitivity to be maintained in time, in spite of wear
in the sensor, at least while the degradation of the sensor response is not Yalarm above Yalarm maximum,
in which case the system will continue functioning but with a loss in sensitivity.
Through the central station, we can establish a Ymaintenance level , over which the system warns
us that the sensor should be replaced or repaired (figure 11).

AVISO
Figure 11. Adaptation of the Pre-alarm and Alarm levels to environmental variations and/or ageing of the
sensor.
The Addressable Ionic Smoke Sensor (SIHA) operation principle is based on the
physical properties of an ionisation chamber. The variation of electrical features, in the
presence of smoke, makes it suitable to be used as a smoke detector.
It is a microprocessed and self-identified detector, conceived to be part of an

Addressable Fire Detection System.
The measure of the ambient concentration of smoke, it is transcript into a voltage

value, which is digitised and transmitted to the Control Panel.
SIHA detector is according EN 54 its part 7 normative with AENOR certification.
The Addressable Optical Smoke Sensor (SOHA) operation principle is based on the
Tyndall effect, based on the properties of in an optical chamber. The variation of electrical
features in the presence of combustion aerosols, makes it suitable to be used as a smoke
sensor.
It is a microprocessed and self-identified detector, conceived to be part of an

Addressable Fire Detection System.
The sensor element consists of an optical chamber provided with a light emitter and a
receiver. In the absence of smoke, the intensity of the light captured by the receiver is null,
because of the physical labyrinth created in between them. When exists presence of smoke,
the reflection of the light in the particles, makes the receiver to obtain a certain intensity of
light, (voltage value proportional to the level of darkness) everything controlled by a
microprocessor, which also realises the communication with the Addressable Control Panel.

Also incorporates an static element which acts as when reaches 60ºC.
Head an base, (interchangeable) are made in heat-resistant ABS plastic.
SOHA detector is according EN 54 its part 7 normative with AENOR certification.
II.1.2. Temperature Detector (STA)
The temperature detector measures the room temperature together with its variation
speed.
When the room temperature varies slowly (below 1ºC/min), the Pre-alarm and Alarm
levels stay constant and equal to those pre-set from the control station (spot temperature
detection). However, in the event of faster temperature variations (above 1ºC/min), the
central station uses an algorithm capable of evaluating the temperature variation speed and
setting the Pre-alarm and Alarm levels at different gradients (temperature thermospeed
detection). In this way, a fast variation causes a decrease in the Pre-alarm and Alarm
thresholds, thereby accelerating detection (figure 12).

tiempo (seg.)
Figure 12. Pre-alarm and Alarm levels in fast and slow temperature variations
Similar to what occurs with the ionic detector, the Pre-alarm level self-corrects itself
with slow variations in room temperature, thereby avoiding false alarms. On the contrary, the
Alarm level in these circumstances, remains constant and only changes with fast temperature
variations.
Three sensitivity degrees can be selected for the detector through the central station
(degrees 1, 2 or 3, according to standard EN 54-5).
The selected degree of sensitivity will depend on the room temperature where the
detector is installed, and the pre-alarm temperature will adapt to the selected degree in each
case.
9
In temperature detection, confirmation is also through two consecutive readings (8
seconds), prior to activating the Pre-alarm and the Alarm.
Head an base, (interchangeable) are made in heat-resistant ABS plastic.
SOHA detector is according EN 54 its part 5 normative with AENOR certification

with sensibility degree 1.
II.2 Loop elements

buttons supervising the line thanks to a 10uF/63V capacitor. Like this, we will know the line
state, i.e. crossed line, opened line, detector alarm or push-button alarm.
In resume, the II-MA is an addressable element capable of communicating and

identifying itself with the control station.

II.5 Master Relay Module (MDA-M2)
Two-relay switched module with 24V external supply, protected with a 2A fuse,
which is installed as an any other kind of element of the loop.
Auxiliary power of 24V will be needed, to provide the required energy to the relay-
controlled devices. These will be programmable independently (two functions) both in their
type of application (siren, manoeuvre or extinguishing), and in their timing and the
combination of detectors which activated then and are supervised. The voltage presence in the
auxiliary 24V power line is also supervised.
The voltage provided by the relays output is 24V. In standby state, the MDA-M2
supervises the line by a 33Kohm resistor, that says if line is crossed or opened. Maximum
capacity of the loop for relay-modules is 16 modules.
II.6 Master Relay Module (MDA-M1)
Two-relay switched module with 24V external supply, protected with a 2A fuse,
which is installed as an any other kind of element of the loop.
Two-relay module with only one function programmable for timing and combination
detectors. One relay can be used for siren, manoeuvre, pre-alarm or extinguishing with a 24V
output supervised with a 33Kohm resistor for crossed line or opened line. The second relay
has the N/C and N/O function, not supervised, and with the electromagnet for fire against
doors application as more used.
Maximum capacity of the loop for MDA-M1 relay-modules is 32 modules but it is

important the consumption system for electromagnets. For more than 10 electromagnets,
more supply sources are needed to install.

II.7 Technical Signals Module (MSTA)
Microprocessed and self-identified module installed as an any other element of the

loop.
It has two inputs to differences the opened or closed state of a dry contact. In standby
state, the contact must be opened, if there is any trouble, the contact will be closed. The
first input (marked as IN1) detects the contact closed as the ALARM state. The second input
(marked as IN2) detects the contact closed as the FAILURE state. It is able a combination of
both inputs at the same time having information for alarm and failure.
His typical application is shows the other detection systems states that could exist, to
connect flux detectors for sprinkler installations, switch detector in fire against doors,
elevators, tank levels, etc.

Once introduced into the sub-menus, we will be able to see the configured relay
numbers according that sub-menu, the label and the state (ON, OFF). Then, with the cursor, in
the relay we want to change the state, we push the buttons ON or OFF.
Menu 3: GENERAL SIRENS
On the screen there are two sub-menus for the two general sirens configured in the
TC25/A control panel.
Once introduced in one of the two siren options, we can see the siren state and we will
be able to change it with three options: Activate, Stop or Change delay.
The trigger or stop of the siren is realised with the ENTER key.
24
Menu 4 : PROGRAMATION SYSTEM
In order to entry into this menu, the control panel asks for access code (9000) and on
the screen there are eight more sub-menus:
1.Revisar Historia : Se muestran en pantalla los siguientes submenús, a los que se

accede por medio de los cursores (situación) y ENTER
1.History
2.Alarms
3.Breakdowns
4.Cancelled
It appears by inverted chronological order the different inquired troubles. Every screen
is a trouble and using the cursors it will be visualise on the display.
The total number of recorded troubles is 99 (alarms, cancels and breakdowns)
2. Labels: There are three sub-menus in this option:
1. Points
2. Relays
3. Sectors
Once situated on the point to put a label, appears a screen where we can see that for
each key is assigned a three letters and the number key.
Pushing on to the key we can choose the letter we want. (Like the write way for
mobile phones). We will see the letter on the screen.
The maximal characters per label is 20.
25
3. Configure: There are three options:
1. Loop configuration
2. Logic Relay configuration
3. Alarm Sectors configuration
Going to the first option pressing enter we will have three new options:
1. Loop number
2. Loop configuration
3. Analogue sensibility configuration
With the first option, we can configure the loop number system.
The second option (Loop configuration), has three more options:
1. See points configuration
2. Configure Points
3. Assign number to the point
The first option, once situates in the loop, indicates the loop
composition, (number of element and type). With the second option, we can
get the actualisation of the loop composition.
The third sub-menu (Assign the number to the point) has two options:
1. Automatic assignation (Magnet)
2. Manual assignation
Once into the loop and selecting the element we want introduce the loop order number
there are two new options:
Automatic mode: with a magnet and according point II.9 (Self-identification), when
we pass the magnet near the element, the LED will switch ON permanently. When the LED
goes OFF, then the control panel already has assigned the order number corresponently
Manual mode: each element of the loop (sensor, switches, technical signal modules
and relay modules) has a serial number assigned that unmistakably identifies it. When manual
assigning is done, this serial number must be entered, as requested on the screen. The point is
then assigned.
26
The third sub-menu (Configure Analogue-Addressable Sensitivity) allows the
sensitivity previously established to be increased or lowered, once located in the point.
The following sub-menus appear on the screen in the option Configure Logical
Relays:
1. Number of logic relays detected:___
2. Configuration of a logic relay
3. Physical situation of the logic relay
Within this sub-menu, in any of this three options, the access code (9000) is requested
so that modificationscan be made or the relays programmed.
The first sub-menu allows us to establish the number of logical relays in the system or
change this as required. In the second sub-menu, and situated in the relay, the following four
options appear:
1. Relay type
2. Delay
3. Day / Night
4. Listed activation points
We can define the relay type in each one of these (Siren, Shunt, Extinction, Pre-alarm
or Conditioned), delay (minutes, seconds), activation (Day / Night) and the list of activation
points.
It must be taken into account that up to six possible activation lists will come onto the
screen, while by PC there will be eight activation lists.
The third sub-menu (Physical situation of the relay), shows, by means of the logic
relay number, which loop it is situated in, along with its number within the loop and its
number in the corresponding relays master.
Situated in the third sub-menu Configure Alarm Sectors, the sector number is
requested and gives six configuration lists. When this is done with a PC, there are eight lists.
4. Set Clock Time: allows modify the year, month, day, hour, minute and second.
5. Set Day / Night: the control centre is programmed to the standard that the Day
timing is from 8 to 22 hours. For any other timing, the Start Day Time and End Day Time can
be modified respectively in this sub-menu.
27
6. Set under test: by using this option, we can carry out maintenance work on the
detectors with auto-reset and without any relay being activated.
7. Printer Menu: If there is a printer, this allows it to be activated or deactivated.
8. Communications:
1. Control panel number___
2. Repeater number ___
3. Repeater program
The two first options indicate the number of control panel and the number of repeaters
that compose the system. Two possibilities appear on entering the third option.
1. Program all
2. Program label
The first option asks for the repeater number and from this moment on, all the
information that the control panel has on the repeater is produced. It confirms good
communication by means of continuous illumination of the Stop Sirens led.
The second option also asks for the repeater number and, whether it is a point, relay or
sector. Once the location is situated the repeater information is produced confirming good
communication by the continual illumination of the Stop Siren led.
9. Blinking: asks for the loop number, and two possibilities appear on the screen.
1. Blinking permitted
2. Blinking inhibited
Locate on the desired option, and operate using ENTER.
Menu 5: SET POINTS ON / OFF SERVICE
There are two possibilities (ON / OFF) and the screen takes the element to the location
(loop, point) in order to carry out the desired function.
Menu 6: TEST ILLUMINATION OF LEDS MENU
To check the illumination of all the LEDS of the buzzer and the face.
28
III.5 Access levels
The TC25/A control panel fulfils all the requirements indicated in Regulation EN54/2.
This regulation states that the control panel must have four differentiated levels of access.
The four levels of access are:
Level 1:
- Stop Buzzer
- Cursors
- No delay
Level 2 (two digit access code 27):
- All functions (keys) of the face

- Monitor
- Activation of Manual Relays
- General Sirens
- Set points ON / OFF service
- Test Illumination of Leds
From this level and in the presence of anomalies, press ENTER and the fast menu
appears in the fourth line of the screen, with four options:
1. CANCEL 2. SERVICE 3. CHECK 4. MONITOR
Level 3 (access code of four digits 9000):
According to the operation to be carried out, the same code is again requested.
- System Programming
Level 4 (maintenance):
- Open control panel

- Modification and changing of cards, etc.

IV. INSTALLATIONAND START-UP
IV.1 Installation
The analogue detection system is installed in a closed loop and with all the elements of
the loop (sensors, switches and modules) connected in parallel. Fig. 24 shows several
examples of typical assemblies.
Every element of the analogue detection loop is individually identified with a Serial
Number assigned during its manufacturing process that differentiates it from any other
element, even of its own types of element.
During installation, the lists of the different elements assembled (sensors, switches,
relay modules, technical signal modules) must be drawn up, indicating element type, loop,
order number within the loop, label and element serial number.
In this way, with the configured lists at work, and completed with the activation lists
of the relays related to fire sectors, the system can be programmed from the office, with an
external keyboard acting on the control panel itself. The CAS program on a PC can also be
used, which later sends the information to the control panel.

Fig. 23 .- Arrangement of serial numbers
IV.2 Start-up
Once all elements of the system are installed (including control panel and batteries), it
is put into function, checking that no anomalies appear corresponding to the status of the
control panel.
33
From this moment on, each loop of the system installed is verified and configured in
the following way:
MENU------SYSTEM------CONFIGURE------LOOP------LOOP NUMBER
In this way, we introduce the loop number in the system. Then we go on to the
configuration of each of the loops, using this sequence:
MENU---SYSTEM---CONFIGURE---LOOP---CONFIG. LOOP---CONFIG. POINTS
The control panel indicates the number of elements it recognises in, each of the loops,
indicating the type (SIHA, SOHA, PULARA, MDA-M2, MDA-M1, IIMA and MSTA) and
each one’s quantity. If the quantities and types correspond to those actually installed, this
indicates that there are no installation problems (crosses, open lines...). Otherwise, an
installation procedure must be followed to find the reasons why the control panel does not
recognise all the elements installed.
From here on, if the control panel has been programmed with an external keyboard,
each element will have an assigned number in the loop, and the correct functioning of all the
actions of the system checked.
If the data entry of the system has been done with a PC, and the correct points
configuration has been checked, a run-down of all the system programming must be done and
all the actions for the correct functioning must be verified.
If in this situation there still exists a sensor (detector) not recognised by the control
panel, then a loop “MONITORING” can be carried out until find a point on the screen with
the message “NOT DEFINED”.
IV.3 Installation Extension
When we wish to extend the installation with more elements, we have to go to

CONFIGURE POINTS and check that these points are recognised by the control panel.
We then go to the number of points added in the loop, by taking the following steps:
MENU—SYSTEM—CONFIGURE—LOOP—CONFIGURE LOOP—ASSIGN Nº P.
Assigning a number to the point can be done using an AUTOMATIC or MANUAL

procedure.
If we opt for the AUTOMATIC procedure, we then locate in the loop number and
order number to assign, then energise the element with a magnet, bringing it near to the point
of maximum sensitivity of the element as shown in Fig. 17 (section II.9). The LED remains lit
until the control panel assigns it a point, when it goes out and the next element can be
energised.
34
For MANUAL point assigning procedure, we locate in the loop and order number (within the
loop), where we wish to situate the element number and a serial number is then requested on
the screen. Enter this, and the control panel assigns the desired number automatically.
