The system provides an automatic fire detection and alarm system designed to meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS3786-1993 and the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The smoke / heat alarms provide the automatic detection of fire with their integral sounder acting as the occupant warning system. Applying AS1670 design principles to a smoke alarm system enables features such as zoning and the control of ancillary devices such as door locks or hold open devices. It further allows the designer to be able to consider standby and alarm times needed for the specific application, then design the residential system to suit the application. 6, 12 or 18 Zones 12 smoke or heat alarms per zone Power Supply: Input 240V AC Output 12.3-13.8 VDC, Typical 13.70 VDC @ 500mA for RFP6 A separate 1.1 Amp power supply is provided for RFP12 / RFP18 Standby Supply: 12V/ 7AH sealed lead acid battery or higher if required Battery low setting: 12.3 VDC Key switch Control: OFF / ON / FIRE System Monitoring: Wiring: loop in / loop out to smoke/heat alarms monitored by active End of Line Device Defect Mode: Initiated by an abnormal system condition: * Mains Fail * Ancillary output (common alarm) Isolated * Short circuit or open circuit line fault * System switched off Defect Output (Fault):1 set changeover dry contact Alarm Outputs: 12V DC 1 Amp maximum (not supervised) 1 set changeover dry contact Panic Input: N/O dry contact - activates all smoke/heat alarms Note: Not monitored Optional zone output card (6 relays), one relay for each zone Optional smoke / heat alarm mimic display Compatible smoke and heat alarms for use with the BARFP Series are as follows: EIPFSICX6 Ionisation Smoke Alarm EIPFSPCX6 Photoelectric (optical) Smoke Alarm EIPFSTCX6 Thermal (Heat) Alarm BA-B-RFP6 Type B RFP6 Heat Detector 60ºC BA-D-RFP6 Type D RFP6 Heat Detector 80ºC Please note that the CX6 alarms listed above have been specifically modified to work only with the BARFP range of Residential Fire Panels and will not work in standalone applications or with any other residential panel.

Fire Terms Glossary Addressable Device A fire alarm system component with discreet identification that can have its status individually identified, or that is used to individually control other functions Alarm Signal A signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate action, such as a fire alarm signal Analogue Initiating Device An initiating device that transmits a signal indicating varying degrees of condition, such as smoke obscuration level. As contrasted with a conventional initiating device which can only indicate an on / off condition Annunciator A unit containing two or more indicator lamps, alphanumeric displays, or other equivalent means in which each indication provides status information about a circuit, condition, or location Automatic Fire Detectors A device designed to detect the presence of fire or the products of combustion. Including but not limited to, heat detectors, smoke detectors, and beam detectors Central Station Fire Alarm System A system or group of systems in which the operations of circuit s devices are transmitted automatically to, recorded in, maintained by, and supervised from a central station Control Panel An electrical device which switches, buttons, lights, or displays, used to monitor and control other devices or equipment Evacuation Signal Distinctive signal intended to be recognised by the occupants as requiring evacuation of the premises Exit Plan Plan for the emergency evacuation of the premises Fire Alarm A system that detects and reports a fire in the protected area, detects and reports water flowing in a sprinkler system, or detects and reports dangerous conditions such as smoke or overheated materials that may combust Fire Alarm Control Panel A Fire System component that receives inputs from automatic and manual fire alarm devices and may supply power to detection devices and transponders or off the area transmitters. The control unit may also provide transfer condition of relays or devices connected to the control unit. The fire alarm control panel can be a local unit or a master control unit Four Wire Smoke Alarm Detector A smoke detector which initiates an alarm condition on two separate wires apart from the two wires that is for power Heat Detector A device that detects abnormally high temperature or a rate of temperature increase Page29 Page 29
Fire Terms Glossary continued Heat Sensor A sensor that detects the heat generated by a fire Initiating Device Any device that feeds information from the field to the control panel Ionisation Smoke Detector A smoke detector that has a small amount of radioactive material which ionises the air in the sensing chamber, thus rendering it conductive and permitting a current to flow between two charged electrodes. This gives the sensing chamber an effective electrical conductance. When smoke particles enter the sensing chamber they decrease the conductance of the air by attaching themselves to the ions, causing a reduction in mobility. When the conductance is reduced to less than a predetermined level, the detector responds Manual Fire Alarm Station A device that permits a fire alarm signal to be triggered manually Multiple Sensor Alarm An alarm generated when at least two separate sensors detect the condition before the alarm is triggered. In some instances, redundant sensors in different system zones must trip before the alarm is triggered. However, activation of one sensor may trigger an alarm. When this happens, there is high probability that a real emergency exists Photo-Electric (Optical) Smoke Detector A smoke sensor that detects light reflected off smoke particles in a tiny chamber within the sensor Photo-Electric Beam Detector A smoke sensor that detects the loss of light between a transmitting unit and an accompanying receiving unit, due to the presence of visible smoke between the units Proprietary Fire Alarm System An installation of fire alarm systems that serve contiguous and noncontiguous properties under one ownership from a proprietary supervising station located at the protected property Rate of Rise Sensor A heat sensor that will respond when the temperature rises at a rate exceeding a predetermined amount, which is usually about 15 degrees in 60 seconds or exceeds its threshold of either 135 degrees or 190 degrees Sensor A device designated to produce a signal or other indication in response to an event or stimulus within its detection area Smoke Detector A sensor that detects the presence of smoke resulting from a fire or a nascent fire Speaker Mechanical device used to reproduce sound waves when a power signal is applied representing those sound waves by vibrating some material that in turn creates vibrations in the air thus generating sound Page30 Page 30
