How comprehensive can safety be?

Completely safe.
Sinteso the new dimension in re protection.

Answers for infrastructure.

Protection of people and

assets, reliable re detection
with Sinteso
Sinteso is the result of Siemens decades of accumulated
re protection expertise. This expertise supports you throughout the life cycle of your system, starting with a thorough risk
analysis and extending all the way to fast, reliable service.
Thanks to modern technology Sinteso provides the best possible protection against all re hazards. Full network capability
and easy expandability on an open-ended technology platform
ensure the highest degree of investment protection. Sinteso
provides a clear increase in safety through innovative functions
as well including integrated video surveillance, redundant
detector sensors, operation, and degrade mode and standby
functionality of the control panels.

Everything you need

from simple to complex
From detectors to control panels
it is all one family
Safety is a deep-rooted, fundamental
need. Thats why solutions that reliably
protect people, assets and processes
against re, smoke and carbon monoxide
play such a crucial role: Sinteso comprises
a comprehensive range of products from
re detectors with maximum reliability
and immunity to deception, a complete
range of peripheral devices including
various special detectors, control panels,
terminals and oor repeaters.
This complete portfolio always guarantees optimum interaction between all
components. And no matter what happens in the future, Sinteso can always
easily adapt.
A forward-looking solution
for every need
Buildings are expanded, and the use of
a room can change: Such changes often
entail modications to a re detection
system. Its a good thing that Sinteso
is exible and scalable. It can be easily
adapted to new conditions and grows
along with your requirements. If you
change the function of a room, for example, you can easily modify S-LINE re
detectors by changing the parameter set.
And the Sinteso system can be expanded
without interrupting your operations.
Not only are our products exible, but
so is our service to precisely meet your
needs. You are in control of the individual
services you use, whether for life-cycle
management, expert consulting, maintenance or other services.

From re management detection to

overall danger management
In addition to re risk, there are other
situations when you must protect your
personnel, buildings and assets. Sinteso
is designed so that it can be integrated
easily via BACnet in a comprehensive,
crossplant Siemens Danger Management
System. In this way, security personnel
can operate the re protection system
from a central location together with
other integrated systems such as for intrusion detection or access control. That
increases safety.
Flexible modernization solutions
With Sinteso, you can modernize existing
Siemens re detection systems as well
without having to replace everything
immediately: Thanks to the compatibility of the detectors and the modular
FC2030 and FC2060 re control panels,
existing detectors and control panels can
be replaced individually to bring them
up to the latest state of the art. This is
completely optimal for your budget and
requirements. As a result, your investments are kept to a moderate level and
operations can continue without interruption.
Totally safe through reliable
detection, high availability,
and transparent operation
Innovative functions optimize safety; for
example, the control panels are secured
through degrade mode and standby functionality. The video re controller enables
visual verication of events. Redundant
sensors boost the availability of the
detectors and turbo isolators and loop
installation boost the availability of the
oor repeater terminals if a line is disconnected or a short circuit occurs.

Everything in view
and under control, with Sinteso
Ease of handling guarantees
correct responses
In the event of an alarm there are usually
just a few seconds to make the right decision. That is why it is critical for a re detection system to be easy to operate and
for everything to be clearly displayed.
Like the Sinteso re control panels:
Among other things, they feature clear
function key assignments, comprehensive scroll lists and user-friendly menu
navigation. As a result, it is possible to
isolate re detectors, switch modes, acknowledge events and read off the identied location of events quickly and easily
from the control panels. Programmable
intervention texts with instructions serve
to facilitate correct responses.

A comprehensive re detection
system on a single technology
platform
Sinteso control panels are distinct because they can be used to meet any need
and they offer you the option of expanding your protection in the future. Up to
32 stations can be interconnected via
the FCnet. And numerous re detectors
and peripheral devices can be connected
to each control panel, e.g. up to 1,512
devices for each FC2060 control panel.
Providing optimum protection even for
extensive building complexes. In addition
to state-of-the-art communications technology, control panels can be remotely
viewed from any location via Ethernet.

The navigation keys conveniently guide personnel

through all menu levels

Fire terminals for remote

operations
The re terminals perfectly enhance the
Sinteso re control panels. Since they
show the same information on their
displays as the control panels, they create transparency and enable standardized system operation. This is especially
important for adding further re terminals in different buildings that are some
distance away from the control panels. As
a result, intervention can be faster, safer,
and stress-free in the event of disturbances and alarms. The companys own
Ethernet, for example, can be used to
connect them.

All FCnet stations display information in a

standardized manner

 Fast system availability through

auto conguration
For simple applications, the auto conguration function of the control panels
is all you need to activate the Sinteso
re detection system. For more complex
installations, each network station can
be congured and easily controlled via
a central access point. This can also be
done via remote access, which ensures
reliable on-site service and fast troubleshooting.

Fast system conguration

optimizes safety
Because different requirements are
placed on the system depending on
the time of operation, Sinteso permits
rapid switching between the manned
and unmanned modes an ideal way
to automatically adapt alarm signaling,
intervention sequences, and detector
sensitivity to the specic situation. For
instance, detector sensitivity can be set
to a higher level when no one is present.

Everything on the screen, everything

under control in every situation
If a control panel should fail due to a re
or as a result of construction work, the
control panels degrade mode is automatically activated, ensuring that alarm
messages of connected FDnet devices
are forwarded via the FCnet all the same.
This could be to a Siemens Danger Management Station or to other programmed
control panels or re terminals. These
then automatically take over the display
and user interface functions of the failed
control panel.

Modernization of existing re
detection systems
Existing re detection systems can be
modernized with the two FC2030 and
FC2060 modular control panels, which
can replace numerous existing Siemens
control panels. The corresponding line
cards can be used in the two Sinteso control panels for connecting existing addressable and collective detector lines. The detectors of these lines can then be replaced
by Sinteso detectors at any time.

Sinteso can be integrated into a Siemens

Danger Management System. In case
connection to this management station
is lost, you can still operate the re detection system from a central location via
a re terminal programmed as a standby
operating unit or a control panel.

Reliable detection
free from deception, with Sinteso
Extreme vigilance critical for early
intervention
Whether smoke detectors, heat detectors
or neural re detectors: S-LINE re detectors offer unsurpassed features thanks to
intelligent signal processing. False alarms
caused by deceptive environmental phenomena such as steam, exhaust gases or
electromagnetic disturbances are virtually eliminated.
Real-time interpretation and the dynamic
inuence of the algorithms enable a very
quick and highly accurate assessment of
whether a re is developing. If in addition
multiple detectors can be included in the
alarm decision if needed. All in all, this is
a clear safety advantage because person-

nel can therefore respond that much

earlier to the situation.
Individual setting maximum
protection in every environment
ASAtechnology (Advanced Signal
Analysis) means that safety can be customized to every environment. The ASA
parameter sets are adjusted precisely to
the types of re and deceptive phenomena expected. ASA parameter sets can
be switched according to the time or
process, when for example, buildings are
deserted at night or when the deceptive
phenomena are changing.

Always the right solution: Whether in harsh environments with frequent deceptive environmental
phenomena .

Genuine Alarm Guarantee

thanks to ASAtechnology
When it comes to investing in the right
re detection technology, down times and
costs caused by false alarms are a central
concern for any facility. Thanks to the
combination of innovative sensor technology and the unique ASAtechnology,
the S-LINE offers unsurpassed detection
reliability for all types of re together with
immunity to deception. We stand by it
with our Genuine Alarm Guarantee.
Compatibility for modernization
Existing Siemens re detectors can be
replaced quickly and efciently with the
FDOOT241 multiprotocol series. The
existing wiring is simply taken over.

deceptive environmental phenomena

in clean environments with no deceptive

environmental phenomena

Providing re
protection that
sets the standards the re
detectors.

As a result, the ASAtechnology can also

be used fully with existing Siemens re
control panels.
Even faster detection thanks to
multisensor detectors
The ideal S-LINE re detector for any application is the FDOOTC241 ASA neural
re detector, which combines the unique
ASAtechnology with CO detection. With
two optical and two thermal sensors plus
an electrochemical carbon monoxide
sensor, it offers even faster detection at
high immunity to deception thanks to the
evaluation of three re criteria smoke,
heat, and carbon monoxide.
Comprehensive safety including
faster, more reliable fume detection
Safety thanks to the S-LINE means the
highest detector availability through the
use of redundant sensors. It provides
maximum detection reliability and immunity to deception in all types of res
and areas of uses due to multisensor
detectors, ASAtechnology, exible programmability, and automatic changing
of parameters. It offers a wide range of
detectors to meet any requirement
and ensured compatibility with future
developments.

High reliability in all standard

applications
Whether in hotels, schools, ofce buildings or movie theaters, Sinteso C-LINE re
detectors are the rst choice in normal
environments where only occasional deceptive phenomena occur. Their reliable
detection behavior is based on the newly
developed detection algorithms (DA).
They convert the signals recorded by a
sensor smoke density, temperature or
both simultaneously into mathematical
gradients and then evaluate them according to preset values.
The right combination S-LINE and
C-LINE on the same bus system
Frequently, there are different requirements for re detection reliability and
immunity to deception in one building
or even on the same oor. In this case,
the right security mix is the perfect
solution. For example, you can use C-LINE
detectors in an ofce building and S-LINE
detectors for the kitchen of a restaurant
connected to the building, which has
a greater potential for deceptive phenomena. Both types of detectors can be
combined on the same FDnet loop, which
also supplies power to them. If the use
of a building or room changes, C-LINE
detectors can be replaced with S-LINE detectors at any time, without new cabling.

Sharpest perception, quick reaction

with Sinteso
A network that supplies everything
The FDnet is a multifunctional bus system
for fast, reliable communication between
the FDnet devices, such as re detectors,
alarms and video re controllers, and the
re control panel. A special advantage is
its use of this communication circuit to
simultaneously supply the devices with
power. That saves cable. In addition, its
also easy to incorporate existing installations and cables. An FDnet loop can
incorporate up to 126 FDnet devices.

Simple communication, condent

response at low cost
With the FT2010 oor repeater terminal and FT2011 oor repeater display,
Sinteso also delivers information simply
and clearly on-site, for example directly
on a hospital ward. While alarms, faults,
and shutdowns can be read clearly via
the oor repeater display, the oor repeater terminal also allows events to be
acknowledged and reset.
The placement on the FDnet enhances
safety: Both devices also function reliably
if a line is interrupted or a short circuit

terminals can be programmed so they
display alarms from the entire system.
Simply play it safe by video
Reliable verication, identication,
and response: The video re controller
provides increased security, for example
in the case of vandalism. In the event of
an alarm, it enables event verication
as well as a better assessment of the
situation using live images, and provides
detailed information for further action
without requiring personnel to enter the
danger area.

monitoring zone

Thanks to the recorded lm material,

the video re controller supports event
analysis at a later time, for example in
order to visually verify or to identify
arson, intentional triggering of false
alarms, and persons.
Everything integrated even the
extinguishing
Extinguishing control equipment can be
integrated into the FDnet, such as the
XC10 extinguishing control unit. In an
emergency, as a stand-alone unit it independently triggers automatic extinguishing in its protection area and transmits
all relevant data to the connected Sinteso
re control panel. Based on its high
exibility, the XC10 can be combined
with all types of automatic extinguishing
systems.

See and hear alarms everywhere

Sinteso alarm sounders ensure that
signals are generated loudly and clearly
in halls, rooms, corridors, and stairways
when there is a re. Depending on the
device model, the alarm is signaled
acoustically or both acoustically and optically at the same time. For example, in
areas with loud ambient noise or hearing-impaired persons, the FDS229 alarm
sounder with beacon is the right choice:
In an emergency it generates both an
optical signal (red or yellow) and an
acoustic signal.
Automatic display and action
in an emergency
Additional peripheral devices provide
functions such as status monitoring
or on-site control of re doors, aps,
elevators, ventilation systems etc. in the
event of a re. Other devices permit the
monitored connection of conventional
detector lines and alarm signaling devices
or the control of LEDs on a display.

As multiprotocol detectors, Sinteso S-LINE
re detectors can communicate with a
control panel. Since the intelligence the
foolproof ASAtechnology is integrated
in the detector itself, you can also take
full advantage of their features with your
existing re control panel.
The ASA in ASAtechnology patented by
Siemens stands for advanced signal analysis. Whats behind it is highly complex,
unsurpassed signal analysis based on
algorithm technology that was invented
by Siemens and has been signicantly
advanced. The signals detected by the
sensor are broken into mathematical
components, analyzed with the programmed algorithms, and then compared
with the values stored in the detector.

Genuine Alarm Guarantee for

maximum reliability
The unique ASAtechnology is guaranteed
to prevent false alarms. We back that
claim with our Genuine Alarm Guarantee.
Switch quickly from detector
to detector
The Sinteso S-LINE multiprotocol detectors makes it possible to quickly and
efciently replace your existing detectors.
You can easily replace individual detectors or the entire line of detectors with
little time and effort. Simply incorporate
this step in your scheduled maintenance
appointments. If you replace the control panel at the end of the process, the
detectors will automatically switch to the
new protocol. And you can continue to
use the existing cabling.

Two control panels for efcient

modernization
Existing control panels from Siemens can
be replaced with the modular Sinteso
FC2030 and FC2060 control panels
already existing lines can be connected
to them with no problem. This allows you

FC2060 for large systems

The FC2060 delivers everything you need
for large applications such as industrial
plants or conference centers. It has four
integrated FDnet loops for connecting
up to 504 FDnet devices. It also provides
room for up to ve module bus cards,
e.g. for addressable and collective line
cards for connecting existing detector
lines. You can also use FDnet line cards
for a maximum of 252 FDnet devices per
card. Your system can thus incorporate
up to 1,512 FDnet devices once you have
completed the modernization.

Use existing information as much

as possible
Thanks to the freely selectable zone
numbers, you can simply transfer your
existing detector group numbers along
with the Sinteso control panels. With the
FC2060, you can also continue and even
expand your alarm concepts. The control
panel allows four independent alarm

You set the pace

Revolutionary modernize the detectors rst

This revolutionary modernization solution begins in the
periphery with single neural re detectors, rather than with
the panel as before. Steps are arranged according to your
individual requirements. For example you can rst replace
automatic re detectors, which no longer conform to the
local risk prole. Manual call points can follow later, and
nally the panel.
Advantages:
The cost of investment steps is low in comparison with a
complete replacement
Immediate benet from the newest detection technology
Employees and operations remain largely undisturbed by
stepwise modernization

Comfortable modernize the re control panel rst

In this modernization the panel has rst priority. This could
be, for example, because you need additional line capacity.
The panel is replaced rst and connected to the existing
periphery. The periphery can be replaced line-by-line as
necessary.
Advantages:
Immediate benet from the panels greater ease of use
Integration of other security and building automation
systems is possible
The periphery is replaced as necessary in accordance with
your investment plan

Classic direct to the target

Lets say youre changing the purpose or use of a building.
So you need to modernize your re detection system all at
once. First, install a new control panel and integrate it with
the existing one. Then replace the detector lines one by one
and connect them to the new control panel. And nally,
remove the old control panel.
Advantages:
Your state-of-the-art system is rapidly in place with no
interruptions
Fewer disturbances arise, since modernization occurs

Beyond the FCnet to a central

management system
Sinteso can be conveniently integrated
into a Siemens Danger Management
System via the BACnet interface. This
means that several FCnet networks and
re detection systems can be monitored
from a central location clearly and conveniently thanks to the large PC monitor.
In addition, messages can be automatically forwarded to security personnel,
such as via text message, e-mail or fax.
During event handling, stored action
descriptions, intervention plans, and
graphics guide users through predened
procedures. Events are archived, which
facilitates later analysis.

Trend-setting synergies for re

protection
Integration of Sinteso into a Siemens
Danger Management System means that
security personnel can not only operate the re detection technology more
conveniently, but they can also use
other integrated security systems for re

Fire control panels

Floor repeater displays and terminals

Messages from clearly dened monitoring
zones, such as nursing stations can be displayed via the FT2011 oor repeater display
with the same event text as displayed at the
control panel and even operated with the
oor repeater terminal FT2010. They meet the
strictest safety requirements, since the oor
repeater terminals are placed directly on the
FDnet detector bus and even work without
interruption in case of an open or short circuit.

Sinteso control panels process all messages

generated by the system, triggering alarm
signals and complex control processes. The
extremely simple user interface with user
prompting texts lets you check the system
status quickly, either locally or by remote access. Because requirements vary depending
on the building and application, there are four
different models of control panels: FC2020,
FC2030, FC2040 and FC2060.

Module bus cards

Fire detectors
S-LINE detectors with ASAtechnology for
sophisticated applications C-LINE detectors
with detection algorithms (DA) for standard
applications: Both series include an optical,
thermal and combined re detector, the S-LINE
also has a multisensor re detector for smoke,
heat, and carbon monoxide. Special detectors
such as ame detectors, wireless smoke detectors and devices for explosion-protected zones
complete this product range.

Cards for the FC2030 and FC2060: Addressable MS9i detectors can be connected to the
MS9i line card detectors with the collective
Siemens standard to the collective line card.
For the FC2060 only: The FDnet line card is
used to set up additional FDnet loops and the
I/O card to connect central input and outputs,
for example for controlling machines, elevators
or ventilation systems in case of re.

Fire terminals

Alarming devices
There are two alarm sounders for acoustic
alarm signaling, the FDS221 and the FDSB291
which is integrated in the re detector. The
combined sounder strobe FDS229 provides
acoustic and optical alarm signaling.

The FT2040 re terminal permits remote

operation in parallel with the control panels.
It can also mirror the display at the control
panels anywhere in the entire system with
which it communicates via the FCnet.

Video re controller

XC10 extinguishing control unit

In case of an alarm, the video re controller
enables direct assessment of the situation
on the basis of live images from a connected
surveillance camera and supports a later
analysis of the event with recorded lm footage with pre- and post-alarm sequence.

Mimic display driver

The XC10 extinguishing control unit can be

integrated in the FDnet with the FDCIO222
input/output module all relevant events
are routed to the connected Sinteso fire
control panel. The extinguishing control unit
is already preconfigured in the SintesoWorks
engineering tool. This makes it easy to implement extinguishing in compliance with EN54.

Line separator
The FDnet-powered mimic display driver
controls LEDs on a customer-specic display.

Input/output modules

Line separators are already integrated in all

FDnet devices. The FDCL221 line separator
ensures that multiple stubs do not fail in the
event of a short circuit. It is used wherever
multiple stubs are branched off from the FDnet
in parallel, for example, for taking over radial
line wiring from collective systems.

System networks
The FDCI222 input modules are used for status
monitoring whereas FDCIO222 input/output
modules permit decentralized control of re
doors and aps. In addition, the transponder
FDCIO223 permits the monitored connection of
conventional detector lines, alarm signaling
devices and devices in explosion-protected
zones.

FCnet /
SAFEDLINK

FDnet

Up to 32 re control panels and terminals

can be networked together via the FCnet.
The FCnet features fast data transfer and a
redundant network node for maximum fault
tolerance. All re detectors and peripheral
devices are networked with the control panel
and simultaneously supplied with power via
the FDnet.

Great success stories with Sinteso

Sinteso detectors for Westeld
London
Westeld London will be Europes largest downtown shopping center a 1.6
billion project. Once completed, it will
accommodate retail stores, restaurants,
cafes, bars, and recreational facilities on
over 150,000 m2 of retail space under
one roof and in total, the complex will
measure over 186,000 m2.
The challenge: Installation of a re detection and alarm system with maximum
reliability and the certainty that no false
alarms will be triggered. The aim is to
avoid costly interruptions for tenants and
disturbances for visitors.

The Building Technologies Division from

Siemens is supplying not only the publicaddress and voice alarm system, but also
the re detection system: 5,000 Sinteso
detectors are currently being installed.
They work on the basis of automatic risk
analysis, which has already especially
proven its worth in the three-level underground garage of the shopping center
a demanding environment with a constant supply of fumes from fuels and
exhaust.
At the conclusion of the project, the system will provide unprecedented detection
reliability throughout the entire Westeld
London center thanks to ASAtechnology.
Secured by the unique Siemens Genuine
Alarm Guarantee.

Sinteso detectors for the Mvenpick

Hotel Frankfurt City
The four-star business and conference
hotel with 288 modern rooms is situated
in the new European Quarter in downtown Frankfurt, Germany.
The challenge: Elimination of the typical
knowledge base distinctions between
electrical engineering and building automation in favor of a complete package at
a more economical price. And a life-cycle
concept that takes into account the optimization of the technical systems over
the entire life cycle of the building.
The Building Technologies Division from
Siemens puts together a single-source
solution including re protection, building automation, access control, power
supply, installation technology and
the option to assume full responsibility
for maintenance and services. An integral part is a re detection system with
1,200 Sinteso re detectors and the
Siemens Genuine Alarm Guarantee.
The high detection reliability and speed
of the detectors combined with immunity to deception ensures that business,
guests, and hotel staff will not be disturbed by false alarms at the Mvenpick
Hotel Frankfurt City.
