The Power to Detect
Sensitive to the environment, Gent by Honeywell has extensively

researched the characteristics of many types of fire. Only by
understanding its components, can we develop the technology
to identify real fires.
The unique technology in Gent by Honeywell’s S-Quad is an outstanding

enhancement to every system, reducing false alarms and quickly detecting real
fires.
Offering the most advanced solution for early detection and signaling of fires, S-
Quad is a ground breaker in fire sensing expertise, recognising a real distrinction
between nuisance steam caused by hot showers and smoke caused by a real fire.
It is vital that the detection technology is matched to the environment where it

operates. Gent’s S-Quad technology goes one stage further allowing you to adapt
the detection to follow the environment.
Technology that puts you in control.

The Power to Voice
“It has often been observed that occupants - in the initial

moments of a fire, upon smelling smoke or hearing the fire
alarm - do not react; they deny there is danger or they ignore
the situation. Such avoidance behavior is a dangerous situation
often results in a delayed start to evacuating a building or taking
protective action.”
The safe management of an emergency relies on people in a building receiving

clearly understood information. In a modern building, bells and electronic tones
are often ignored or confused with non emergencies. Voice alarm messages deliver
clear instruction which result in a faster response.
Our solutions employ digital technology and techniques to maximise the

intelligibility of the spoken word. Use of recorded messages or live broadcasting
provide clear instructions and therefore the safe passage of people out of the
building,
Gent by Honeywell’s comprehensive voice evacuation portfolio ensures that Gent

has the expertise and technology to delive fire detection and voice alarm systems
whatever the size or complexity of the site. Gent by honeywell is proud to have
the most complete rnage of voice solutions in the industry.

The Power to Grow
As businesses and facilities expand, so must the life safety system

that protects them. The flexibility of the Gent Vigilon system
allows sites to grow, change use and add new buildings.
Multi-panel networks can be programmed seamlessly as one system allowing for

flexible design and system management.
The ability to adapt to your rapidly changing environment whilst ensuring that you
maintain complete control over the entire system makes Vigilon the ideal solution
for your multi-site network.
All of Vigilon’s control panels can be networked to each other giving you maximum
flexibility regardless of the size or use of the site. Vigilon’s capability allows you to
add fire only or integrated fire and voice alarm systems to the network.
Delivering peace of mind to all our customers, large and small.

The Power to Vision
A clear understanding of any situation is essential to allow swift,

efficient decisions to be taken and informed direction to be
provided.
This is equally true for any type of incident - routine, maintenance or emergency.
Gent has developed workstation technology to allow situations to be visualised.

One sentence does not say much - a dynamic plan of the building with a symbol
indicating ‘Fire here’ is easy to understand.
See what is happening, where it is happening. Manage your system - control,

maintain or just view the information.
It’s there for you to see.

Introduction
This guide provides a basic overview to anyone involved in the design or installation of a fire detection system. It will identify the current legislative
requirements as well as clarify the responsibilities placed on the three key roles involved with the provision of a new system, namely the Designer,
Installer and Commissioning Engineer, as well as remind the End User or Owner/Occupier what part they play in ensuring that the best possible
system is supplied to protect life and property from fire.
It is important that everyone involved is conversant with the current British Standard Codes of Practice BS 5839-1:2002 for general buildings and
BS 5839-6:2004 for dwellings including those of multiple occupancy. The Installer should also be conversant with the British Standard relating
to general wiring BS 7671.
This guide, which has been prepared by Gent by Honeywell, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of fire detection systems, is intended to offer
practical advice and is not a substitute for any of the standards or legislation referred to.
Legal elements Regulations

Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005* Building Regulation Approved Document B
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 part III (October 2004) Building Regulation Approved Document M
All these laws, Building regulations and Standards in some way affect what is included in the system, however the Owner/Occupier is ultimately
responsible for the level of protection provided.
It is recommended that the Owner/Occupier carries out a Fire Risk Assessment to identify the level of protection required i.e. one of the categories
detailed within BS 5839-1:2002 (L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,M,P1 or P2).
The full responsibilities of the Owner/Occupier are detailed within the new Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order* (RRO) that replaced the majority
of existing laws within the UK from October 2006.
*Note the RRO, at time of press, effects England and Wales whilst Scotland is covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act and NI is still in abeyance.
Any design should be prepared by a competent individual/organisation, who has consulted all interested parties and created a set of drawings, a
specification, a cause & effect or fire plan, a list of Variations and completed a G1 Design certificate, detailed within BS 5839-1:2002.
If designs are undertaken without this research being carried out, the fire detection system is unlikely to comply with the legal requirements. This
could result in prosecution of the parties involved within the supply chain as well as the Owner/Occupier.
WARNING: Anyone who takes on the responsibility for design will do so at their own risk and design liability insurance is
advisable.

SECTION 2: page 4

The Designers’ responsibilities:
Agree the level of protection or category with Owner/Occupier
Justify any Variations and document reasons
Detail the detection & alarm zones
Prepare specification and drawings including;
Siting of manual call points
Siting of point type heat and smoke detectors
Siting of beam detectors
Siting of any other forms of detection
Specify type of cable for each circuit
Specify type of system and equipment
Include detail for on/off site links with other equipment
Take into account the risk of false alarms – use the Gent sensor application guide at the back of this section
Allow for correct level of sounders and visual alarms
Prepare a fire plan or cause and effect chart
Sign a G1 design certificate
Note BS 5839-1:2002 recommends that a fire detection system is designed by a competent person, who takes responsibility for completing the
design and signing off a ‘Design certificate’ G1. This should not be confused with other certificates relating to Installation G2 and Commissioning
G3, that are completed by the parties responsible for those parts.
Also if the contract allows, it is suggested that the Designer witness tests the completed system to ensure the original design is still appropriate
– the Design certificate can then be completed after any amendments have been included.

SECTION 2: page 5

System design
Design Stage 1 Talk to the interested parties to decide on the level of protection or category
and agree Variations
The importance of pre-design planning cannot be overstated. Many parties are likely to have an interest in what the fire detection is expected
to do. Ultimately it is up to the Owner/Occupier, who is responsible by law, to make the final decision on the level of protection provided for a
particular building.
In most circumstances the Owner/Occupier will appoint a competent Designer to carry out this work and take liability for the design as a
whole.
The nominated Designer is expected to consult the following organisations:
The User or Facilities Manager
The Building Control Officer
The Health and Safety Executive
The Insurer
The Local Fire and Rescue Service
A specialist fire alarm system supplier
M
Issues to be covered by the designer should include:
The Fire Risk Assessment demands
The requirements necessary to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) 2005, the Disability
Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 and Building Regulations Approved Documents B & M
The prime purpose of the system (Property or life protection or both)
The level of protection suggested by the interested parties. (Category P1 or P2, M or L1 L2 L3 L4 or L5) L5
The list of Variations identified by the interested parties
Determine the System Category or Level of Protection

Systems designed for Protection of Property only, fall into two classifications P1 or P2. L4
The objective of a Category P1 is to provide the earliest possible warning of a fire to minimise the time between ignition
and the arrival of the fire fighters.
P1 is designed to protect the whole building whilst P2 is installed in defined parts of the building only, which may have an
extraordinary high risk or hazard.
Life protection on the other hand will often depend on the number of people accessing a particular building and depending
L3
on the variations, the systems can range from simple Type M to L1 categories, these being detailed in the diagrams on
this page.
These diagrams show a typical building with a number of escape routes, side rooms and open plan areas used for
escape.
A Category M system requires manual call points on all exits as well as corridors where persons are not expected to walk
more than 45m (see Design Stage 3) to operate one.
L2
Category L5, designed for buildings that have a particular risk identified which warrants some special attention. For
example if there is an area of high risk which is considered worthy of having some automatic detection but a manual system
is also needed, then this will be termed as L5/M.
Category L4 provides detection within the escape routes only, whereas L3 not only covers these areas but all rooms leading
onto the escape route. The reasoning behind this is to alert people of the danger prior to the corridor becoming “Smoke
logged” so people can escape safely.
L1
L2 is a further enhancement of protection with all the areas covered by an L3 category as well as all high risk areas such
as boiler rooms etc.
L1 provides protection throughout the building, and also where Property Protection is the prime reason for the system (this
allows for a choice between the P1 or P2 categories).

SECTION 2: page 6

System Design
Design Stage 2 Detection and Alarm Zones
Generally a building is broken down into smaller compartments to enable the fire fighters to locate the fire as quickly as possible.
Even if the system is addressable it is still considered beneficial to have a separate ‘at a glance’ indication of the location of the fire.
These compartments of a building are called detection zones, which need to comply with the following criteria.
Detection Zones
A detection zone should cover no more than 1 storey, unless total floor area
is less than 300m2. Voids in the same fire compartment should be included
in the same floor zone. The maximum floor area of a zone should not be ZONE 1
greater than 2,000m2, except for some large open plan areas incorporating
manual call points only, which can be extended to 10,000m2
The maximum search distance for the fire fighters to see the seat of the fire
within a zone should not exceed 60m assuming the route taken is the worst
possible option ZONE 2
Vertical structures such as stairwells, liftwells etc should be considered as
separate zones
ZONE 5
A manual call point within a staircase should be connected to the zone
associated with that floor and ideally be mounted on the accommodation
side of the corridor exit. Automatic sensors on the stairwell remain as part ZONE 3
of the stairwell detection zone
ZONE 4
Alarm Zones
An alarm zone is clearly defined within the standard but generally is an area of the
building coinciding with the fire compartment boundaries. There must be a clear break
ZONE 1
ALARM
between these alarm zones to ensure alert and evacuation messages are not overheard DETECTION DETECTION DETECTION
from adjacent areas. ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3
The only other criteria is that an alarm zone may consist of a number of detection zones
but not vice versa.
ZONE 2
ALARM
DETECTION DETECTION DETECTION

Alarm zones are only required when phased or staged evacuation is required. It is
ZONE 4 ZONE 5 ZONE 6
therefore important that care should be taken to ensure only one message is heard at
any one time particularly where two alarm zones are attached.

Design Stage 3 Siting of Manual Call Points
All manual call points, whatever the system, should comply to BS EN54-11 single action Type A version only and should be located as follows:
On all storey exits and all exits to open air irrespective of whether they are designated fire exits
Nobody should travel more than 45 metres to reach one, except if the exit routes are undefined in which case the direct line distance should
not exceed 30 metres
The above distances to be reduced to 25 and 16 metres respectively, if there are persons with limited mobility or there is a likelihood of rapid
fire development
In all areas with potential high fire risk such as kitchens etc
Where phased evacuation is planned, call points will need to be sited on all exits from a particular zone
1.4 metres + or – 200mm above the floor
Call points fitted with protective hinged covers for whatever reason should be listed as a Variation
Note: In order to comply with the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document M, which requires electrical switches including
manual call points to be mounted at between 1M + or – 200mm on wheel chair access routes, these should be listed as a Variation on the
certificate as BS requires MCP’s to be mounted at 1.4M + or – 200mm.

Design Stage 4 Selection and Siting of Sensors
For further advice please refer to clauses 21 & 22 of BS 5839-1:2002.
The objective is to select the correct sensor for the appropriate application, to provide the earliest warning of fire without the risk of a false
alarm.
It is therefore worth trying to visualise the type of fire that is likely to occur in a particular room or area and also to familiarise oneself with the
application and the risks that could give rise to a false alarm.
It should also be remembered that a Vigilon system can incorporate a whole range of different sensors using S-Quad multi-sensors. These can
be set up for different applications and can be switched from ‘state to state’ should particular risks be present for short periods of time. This is
achieved by selecting the ‘enable/disable’ software within the standard panel software. At the end of this section is a full application guide for all
sensors including the latest S-Quad multi-sensor with a range of selectable ‘states’ for common applications and risks.
Heat sensors complying to BS EN54-5

Vigilon with the S-Quad heat sensor has a number of pre-programmed ‘states’ that comply with the requirements of the European standard.
Each state has its preferred use as described in the Sensor Application Guide and incorporates two types of heat sensing element. One can be
described as fixed temperature whilst the other is known as a rate of rise element. These elements have a broad range of application specific
operating states that will respond quickly in the event of fire without risking a false alarm. See the Sensor Application Guide at the back of this
section for specific advice on which state is recommended for a particular application. For example;
The default state for the S-Quad heat sensor is Grade A1 (state 0) which has a fixed temperature operating point of 59.5º + or – 5.5º C. With a
‘normal’ rate of rise element, the current ‘full list’ of states provided by S-Quad and Vigilon are:-
S-QUAD HEAT SENSOR GRADE FIXED TEMP. RANGE RATE OF RISE

State 0 A1 59.5 + or – 5.5ºC Normal sensitivity*
State 13 A2 62 + or – 8ºc Less sensitivity
State 5 B 77 + or – 8ºC Less sensitivity*
State 6 BS 77 + or – 8ºC OFF
State 15 OFF OFF

Smoke sensors complying to BS EN54-7
Traditionally, ‘point’ type smoke sensors have fallen into two main categories, optical or ionisation.
Due to new European Directives for the storage and transport of radioactive sources, ionisation sensors are becoming less favourable and are
being replaced by multi-sensors utilising single or dual optical chambers which are also combined with heat and/or carbon monoxide sensing
elements.
This creates a whole range of sensors suitable for detecting different types of fires and yet ignore signals that previously have led to false alarms
such as white dust or steam particles.
The table below shows the various ‘states’ of these smoke sensor options. This should be read in conjunction with the Sensor Application Guide
to ensure the correct sensor is used for a particular location.

Sounders and strobes are generally provided for systems designed to protect life. However, on the rare occasion when only the property is being
protected it is still essential to mount a sounder adjacent to the fire control panel as well as immediately outside the main entrance for the fire
fighters.
Before deciding on the number and location of sounders/visual alarms, it is important to establish the ‘Fire Plan’ or cause and effect.
If the building is not going to have a ‘one out – all out’ arrangement, the evacuation procedures must be established. Once this is known, you
can then establish the alarm zone areas where different alarm messages may be given, for example an alert or an evacuation tone.
Audible alarm levels within buildings are generally accepted as 65dB(A) throughout. However, the new Standard does accept that in certain
locations this can be as low as 60dB(A). This allows some degree of flexibility, although in general the majority of a site must achieve 65dB(A)
or greater to be compliant.
The drawing below illustrates the areas where 60dB(A) is permitted:

60 60 60
For areas with high ambient background noise levels, the Standard recommends a sound level of 5dB(A) above the norm although the maximum
sound levels should not exceed 120dB(A) for health & safety reasons. Finally it is essential that at least one sounder is placed within each fire
compartment and the sounder choice should be common throughout the building. Bells and electronic sounders should not be mixed within the
same building although the Gent S-Cubed and S-Quad both offer bell and electronic sounders allowing a system upgrade or switch over from a
bell tone to an electronic tone when required.
Design Tip 1 Research* over the last twenty years has

proven that a voice enhanced sounder is preferable to a
bell or electronic sounder as people pay more attention to
a spoken message. The Gent S-Cubed and S-Quad offer
sounders that include recorded speech messages delivered
in a synchronised manner to create a clear instruction to
persons at risk within a building.

It is maintained that to rouse sleeping persons you need to achieve a minimum of 75dB(A) at the bedhead.
Sound attenuation is affected by numerous physical structures within a room, including the people, door, furniture and materials used for floor,
walls etc.
General internal doors will attenuate at least 20dB(A), whilst heavier fire doors may well attenuate by up to 30dB(A). To ensure 75dB(A) is achieved
within a bedroom it is accepted that the sounder is mounted within the room rather than the corridor outside. Use of sensor sounders ensures
an even spread of sound throughout the building without the need for separate louder sounders. Visual alarms are generally considered as
supplementary rather than the only means of providing an alarm, and are used in areas where the dB(A) level exceeds 90dB(A) or where persons
within the area have impaired hearing. The exception could be where sound of any description is undesirable, for example operating theatres, TV
studios and places of entertainment where a discreet staff alarm system is the best option to avoid panic.
Visual alarms are also included as a requirement of the Disability Discrimination Act and Approved Document M of the Building Regulations and
should be included in all sleeping accommodation where people with a hearing disability may be present.
Design Stage 6 Control equipment and power supplies

The Control panel itself should comply to EN54-2 and any power supply used should comply to EN54-4. Today the majority of Gent fire control
panels incorporate their own battery and charger and as long as the guidelines for loading these systems are complied with, the battery should
be sufficient to maintain the system for a period of 24 hours with half an hour alarm load thereafter.
It is however recommended that a battery load calculation is carried out to verify the standby period provided by the capacity of the battery
supplied.
Irrespective of the size or type of system the control panel should be sited with the following points in mind;
In an area of relatively low fire risk
On the ground floor entrance which the fire fighters will
use
In buildings of multiple occupancy, the panel should be Design Tip 2 The S-Quad

System Installation
The Installers’ responsibilities
To install all equipment in accordance with the Standard
To use the correct types of cable
To test the cables, continuity and earth, and provide certificates
To flag up any Variations that affect the Design
To produce a set of ‘as fitted’ drawings
To sign off a G2 Installation certificate
Types of cable and where to use them

There are two basic grades of cable permitted for use on fire alarm systems. These are known as Standard grade and Enhanced grade designed
to meet the new standards BS 8434-1 and BS 8434-2 respectively.
The choice of cable needed is dependant on how long the cable is expected to continue to operate whilst a fire is occurring.
The integrity of the system is paramount and all interconnections between devices must be considered especially those that affect the signal’s
critical path.
Firstly the Standard insists that the mains supplies to the system, the manual call points and the automatic sensor circuits are wired in fire resistant
cables.
What cable? – Standard or Enhanced fire resistant cables?

The Standard fire resistant cable will satisfy most applications particularly with ‘one out, all out’ fire plans. Enhanced fire resistant cables are
required for applications that need communications to continue during a fire incident when the building fabric may be destroyed. Examples of
where Enhanced fire resistant cable should be used include:
In un-sprinklered buildings where the ‘Fire Plan’ involves the evacuation of occupants in four or more phases
In un-sprinklered buildings greater than 30 metres in height
In un-sprinklered buildings or large networked sites where a fire could affect the cable’s ‘critical path’, particularly where people will remain
in occupation during a fire elsewhere on the site
Where in part, a delayed evacuation may exist and the critical signal path may pass through an area of high risk
Where a Risk Assessment has identified a particular need for Enhanced cable

System Installation
Other aspects in regard to Installation practice
The electrical characteristics of the cable such as impedance, capacitance etc should be capable of handling the data and power of the
system
For the Vigilon system, Gent regularly updates the list of approved standard and enhanced cables used for loops or networks. We would
suggest you obtain the latest copy of our system data sheets or contact your local engineer to obtain the latest approved product
Cable requirements
Core size not less than 1mm
Where exposed cables are below 2m, additional mechanical protection should be considered, except for cables complying to BS 7629
The colour of the outer sheath should preferably be RED although other colours are permitted as long as it is common throughout the
building and does not clash with any other electrical services
Fire cables should:

be segregated from all other services
not share the same conduit
use a separate compartment if common trunking is used
avoid running alongside high current power lines
avoid running adjacent to lightning conductors
avoid electro magnetic interference from ‘extra low voltage (240V) circuits’
The Standard precludes the use of multicore cable where a single fault will cause more than one circuit to fail. This is particularly true with loop
wired systems where communication from either end is required and the failure of a 4-core cable will mean that all communication is lost
Cable joints should be avoided, other than the components themselves
Cable support should withstand the same temperature as the cable, which means the use of plastic cable clips, cable ties or trunking, where
this is the main means of supporting the cable, should NOT be used
Cables should not rely on suspended ceilings for their support
Mains power supplies should also be wired back to the main circuit breaker in Standard grade fire resistant cable
Recommendations for the Mains Power supplies

For reasons of electrical safety, the mains supply to the system should be via a separate circuit breaker taken from the load side of the buildings
main isolating device.
This circuit breaker can incorporate a switch if necessary but in either event should be labelled ‘FIRE ALARMS – DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ – this supply
should be used for the sole purpose of the fire alarm system.
In large multiple occupancy buildings it may be necessary to obtain a mains supply via a mains distribution board. However the same
arrangements as above apply. The isolation of this local distribution board and the fire isolating device is a minimal requirement and should be
inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Ideally the supply should not be protected by a residual current device unless necessary to comply with requirements of BS 7671. If this is the
case then it should not be capable of isolating the mains supply to the fire alarm system.
Inspection and testing of wiring

Prior to any equipment being connected, all installed cables should be subject to a 500V dc insulation
test.
These tests should show an insulation value of at least 2Mohm between conductors and between each
conductor and screen or earth.
Earth continuity tests should be carried out on all mains supply circuits as well as an earth loop
impedance in accordance with BS 7671. It is important with the Vigilon system that all earth leads or
screen cables are terminated and connected through each device.
The maximum impedance of each loop or radial circuit should be recorded to ensure it meets the
manufacturers recommendations. In the case of Vigilon this is determined by not exceeding the
recommended maximum cable lengths which for loop circuits should not be greater than 1Km and a
maximum of 100 metres for any radial circuit connected on a loop powered interface.

System Commissioning
Commissioning Engineers’ responsibilities:
Functional testing of all equipment
Confirm fire plan or cause & effect is correct as per design
Look for any incorrect positioning of sensors or other devices – snag them or list them as Variations
Record sound level meter readings
Provide a log book and product manuals
Carry out staff training
Collate all documents including
G1 Design Certificate
G2 Installation Certificate
G3 Commissioning Certificate (also sign it!)
Cable test and wiring certificate
Specification and drawings
List of agreed Variations
Fire Plan or ‘Cause and Effect’
G4 Acceptance Certificate signed by clients representative
It is important that the system is commissioned by a competent person who has attended recognised training courses on the equipment as well
as the British Standard.
At this stage the entire system should be inspected and tested, in particular;
Every manual call point, sensor, sounder, interface and indicator
Check that all devices are correctly sited to cover the area they are intended to protect – see previous notes on siting of devices
Check that all devices are correctly labelled and display the correct information on the control panels
All sound pressure levels should be measured and recorded
Any transmission of signals to remote centres or equipment should be proven
The fire plan or cause and effect should be checked from every device
All alarm panels and printers display the correct information and are sited correctly
A suitable zone plan is mounted adjacent to the control panel
No changes to the building have affected the siting of equipment or effectiveness of the system for example an additional partition requiring
additional sensors
Mains and standby power supplies are adequate and designed to support the system for a specified period, for example 24, 48 or 72
hours
As far as reasonable, ascertain that the installation complies with the standard and certificates are provided by the installer
If radio equipment is used, ensure all radio signals are of sufficient strength to ensure reliability
Ensure there are no obvious shortcomings with the system as a whole and that all the documentation is correct
It is also recommended that the system is soak tested for up to a week, dependant on the system size, so that any teething problems are
identified without giving rise to any false alarms.
Documentation
On completion of commissioning and user training all documentation will have to be collected and handed to the client or their representative.
This will include;
Design, Installation and Commissioning certificates G1,G2 & G3
Cable and insulation resistance test records
“As fitted” drawings of the final installation, including cable run details
Product manuals and user instructions
System log book
A copy of the fire plan documentation against which the commissioning engineer programmed the system
The designer’s specification and a written list of agreed Variations

Heat Detectors
Heat detectors respond to
changes in temperature and are
better suited to smoky, dusty
or steamy environments than
smoke detectors.
A comprehensive range of fixed,
high temperature and rate of rise
devices are available, making the
range suitable for areas where
the temperature fluctuates for
natural reasons or due to certain
industrial processes.

are suitable for large open areas
where installation of single point
detectors may be difficult or
uneconomical.
Beam detectors can be installed
with separate transmitter and
receiver or combined transceiver

Duct Smoke Detector
The duct detector kit is comprised
of a conventional detector and
duct detector housing.
The duct detector is mounted
on the outside of the air duct. A
venturi tube protrudes into the
duct and draws a sample of the
air which passes over the sensor
and returns back into the duct.
When the smoke density in the
sampled air reaches the trigger
level of the smoke detector an
alarm will be signalled on the fire
Duct Detector alarm control panel.

Product Overview
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards in a quality controlled environment and with European EN12094-1 approvals, the
Sigma XT extinguishant releasing panel offers outstanding value and performance for all small to medium fixed firefighting installations.
With three detection zones as standard, extinguishant release can be configured to activate from any combination of detection zone
inputs to allow (among other combinations) any two from three type activations such as would be required for detection in ceiling void,
room and floor void applications.
The extensive configuration options of the Sigma XT allow the functionality of the system to be extensively modified while still complying
with the requirements of the controlling standard for the equipment (EN12094-1).
The panel contains a large LED display to enable easy configuration and control which also displays the time remaining until extinguishant
release for added user safety.
The countdown timer is duplicated on up to seven remote status units to provide local indication of the extinguishant system status.
With all of the electronics mounted on a single, easily removable, steel plate Sigma XT panels are both robust and easy to install.
Sigma XT is supplied in an enclosure that matches the design and colour of the Sigma CP range. 4

10 reasons to specify Vigilon
1
The Power of Vigilon Supports the largest number of fire detection and
alarm products on the same 2 cables with soft or SAFE (Soft Addressed
Firmware Encoded) addressing options.
2
Minimise False Alarms The combined power of S-Quad and the Vigilon
panel provides quick, intelligible decision making. The S-Quad dual angle
optical sensor recognises a clear distinction between smoke and steam.
3
Rapid Fire Detection The 4 separate sensing elements in the
S-Quad, including CO, can be set with individual sensitivity levels and
sensor ‘states’ can be programmed for different time periods to suit all
applications and environments.
4
Cost Savings Cable runs are shorter. 2 core costs less than 4 core.
Overall cable costs are normally 30% less than other systems.
5
Create Seamless Network Connect up to 200 panels together and
retain control on large or complex sites. Also, new buildings or extensions
are easily accommodated onto the existing system.
6
Customise your Fire Plans Evacuating public areas or production
lines is disruptive and costly. Vigilon Compact’s powerful software gives
you flexibility. Areas throughout the building can be sectored to give
an evacuate or alert signal on alarm, or can be configured with pre-set
delays.
7
Safe Evacuation Voice messaging capability through the sounder
functionality of S-Quad ensures quick and safe evacuation in the event
of a fire.
8
Loop powered sounder/strobe Loop powered sounder/strobes save
on cabling and interface costs whilst ensuring compliance with the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Built-in high intensity flashing strobes
warn those with hearing difficulties of a potential fire hazard – now a
legal requirement in all public buildings.
9
Clear Information An 8-line by 40 character display means the user is
not limited in describing the position or nature of an emergency. A clear
backlit LCD display reduces confusion and speeds response.
10
Integrated Voice and Graphics Systems Vigilon may be integrated
with Gent’s Vigilon Voice evacuation system, or connected to Supervisor,
a graphic display for single point control and monitoring.

Vigilon Panels Overview
The Vigilon system offers a complete range of control panels that can be installed as standalone panels from 1 to 6 loops or as part of multi-panel
networks. A system that can meet the needs of a building today and in the future.
The Vigilon System is suitable for all building types and sizes
Vigilon’s modular concept makes systems simple to design for any building. Panels can be installed as standalone units or as multi panel
networks of 200 panels/nodes
Vigilon Compact is ideal for smaller systems needing upto 2 loops, while Vigilon panels can manage up to 6 loops allowing easy and flexible
panel selection
Vigilon panels are available with 24 and 72 hour standby power supply options
Both Compact and Vigilon panels can be installed in the same network
The Vigilon System responds quickly to real fires without the risk of false alarms
Vigilon’s advanced sensing technology and powerful software processing in the control panel quickly identifies real fires
Powerful software algorithms are used to match the pattern of activity in the sensor with data from test fires stored in the panel memory.
False inputs that do not match a real fire pattern are ignored or flagged as faults
The latest Vigilon range of S-Quad multi-sensors incorporates four separate technologies in the same sensor that combine to create a range
of sensing states appropriate for different environments
Unique programming options allow these different sensitivity states to be used to reduce the likelihood of known risks triggering a fire, thus
avoiding unnecessary evacuation while maintaining the ability to give a fast response to a real event
The Vigilon System is cost effective to install

The Vigilon loop manages the largest number and variety of devices, with up to 200 sensors, sounders and interfaces connected to the same
2 core loop circuit
Vigilon sounders, strobes and interfaces are loop powered so there is no need for auxiliary power supplies
Every loop device includes an integral short circuit isolator reducing installation costs at the same time increasing system integrity
Multi-function devices combining sensor, sounder, speech and strobe reduce the number of individual devices that need to be installed
Every S-Quad sensor has a configurable, monitored input. This can be used instead of an interface saving on installation and product costs
The Vigilon System – flexible and simple to use

The Vigilon control panels have a simple user interface with LCD screen providing accurate information in an emergency
Every Vigilon loop device has a unique address assigned in software. Text labels, of up to 64 characters, can be assigned to each address. This
allows fires to be located quickly and assists troubleshooting in commissioning and maintenance
PC Based commissioning tools release powerful programming options that allow complex fire plans to be configured without extra
equipment
Flexible programming options are available at the panel so minor changes can be made without the need for PC tools
Multi-panel networks can be programmed seamlessly as one system. This allows for flexible design and system management
Vigilon Systems can be easily extended or changed. Additional loops and extra panels can be added without affecting the operation of the
existing installation
The Vigilon System provides peace of mind

The Vigilon panel, S-Quad sensors and S-Cubed sounders are certified by LPCB to EN 54 the European standard for fire detection systems
Loop architecture combined with short circuit isolators in every device ensures maximum tolerance to cable faults
S-Quad sensors can be locked into their base protecting them from unauthorised removal
Advanced loop and network communications protocols ensure a rapid response to fire triggers achieving response in under 3 seconds even
across networks
Gent by Honeywell’s Managed Protocol approach ensures that every system is designed, installed, commissioned and serviced by highly
trained Gent approved System Integrators

10 Reasons to specify S-Quad
1 Advanced Sensing Technology coupled with integral sounder, speech

capability and strobe in one intelligent device provides the UK’s most
innovative solution to the detection and signaling of fires.
2
Rapid Fire Detection 4 separate sensing elements including CO can be
set with individual sensitivity levels and sensor ‘states’ can be programmed
for different time periods to suit all applications and environments.
3
Minimal False Alarms The combined power of S-Quad and Vigilon
panel provides quick, intelligible decision making. The S-Quad dual angle
optical sensor recognises a clear distinction between smoke and steam.
4
Saves Lives The S-Quad range incorporates intelligent heat and gas
sensing technology to allow the early detection of fires, which are known
to be particularly hazardous to building occupants.
5
Safe Evacuation Voice messaging capability through the sounder
functionality ensures quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
Cost Savings S-Quad provides four functionalities within one device
6 supported by 2-wire loop Vigilon system, with built-in isolators in every

device.
Compliance with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act 1995)
7 Legislation Built-in high intensity flashing strobe warns those with

hearing difficulties of a potential fire hazard – now a legal requirement
in all public buildings.
The Power of Vigilon Supports the largest number of Fire Detection
8
and Alarm products on the same 2 cables with soft or SAFE (Soft
Addressed Firmware Encoded) addressing options.
Monitored Line Input / Output Option Output can be used for a
9
remote LED. Input can have a separate identity to the sensor although
they share the same electronic address.
Peace of Mind All Gent fire products are designed to be compatible
10
with the same successful Vigilon platform and supported by a UK wide
network of Approved System Integrators.

Beam Sensors
Beam sensors are suitable for large
open areas where installation of
single point detectors may be
difficult or uneconomical. These
detectors come in pairs, one of
which emits an infra-red beam,
detected by the other unit. If the
beam is broken by smoke, the
sensor is triggered.
This model employs ‘True’
analogue detection techniques
whereby other interruptions,
caused by people or shadows,
Beam Sensor (Pair) will be discounted.

Local Controller Card (LCC)
Local Controller Card (LCC)
The primary task of the local controller card (part number: VIG-LCC) is for installation in the control panel is to make final decision on
fire, fault and warming events based on device condition information supplied by the loop processor cards. On making the decision
the local controller card actions the system via other cards, to include the local visual indications given at the display keypad card DKC.
Connection to the DKC is made via a ribbon cable
The local controller card (part number: VIG-LCC-NOD) is for installation in the Network node. A network node cannot support loops
and therefore can accommodate additional IOC in place of LPC.

Epsilon
The Epsilon system comprises a new control panel
that is a fire detection and integrated addressable
voice evacuation and public address system in a
single panel. The scaleable panelscan be used
stand alone for small applications or networked
together using CobraNet™ technology to route
audio and control data over the Ethernet to
form a highly distributed, fault tolerant network
containing thousands of nodes.
The scalable architecture ensures the system is
able to cope with the complex life safety and PA
requirements imposed by very large buildings.
Addressable speakers, conventional amplifiers,
paging microphones, advanced message replay
and store and forward systems can be connected
to the panel to form a comprehensive PA and
VA system. Hundred of panels can be connected Schematic of Epsilon System Architectur
to form one seamless fire detection and voice
evacuation system.
Addressable Speaker Loops

The system supports the world’s first addressable
speaker loops each supporting up to 60 fault
tolerant wired loud speakers in 4 zones. The
Gent by Honeywell patented technology allows
the speakers to be zoned by the software in the
panel.
The speaker power level is set by the

commissioning tool eliminating the need for
tapping individual transformers.
The digital data stream supports the
simultaneous transmission of up to 4 audio
channels
Channels can be used for emergency
messages, live speech or background music
Each speaker has an isolator so no speakers
are lost in the event of a short/open circuit
fault on the loop.
Each speaker is individually monitored unlike
those on a conventional system where lost
speakers cannot be detected.
Speaker Sound Pressure level (SPL) can be
separately configured for VA announcements,
PA announcements and background music
for each speaker.

Epsilon
Addressable Speaker Loops
The fire plan determines how the system responds to fire incidents. Epsilon panels offer
unprecedented levels of fire plan flexibility. The system can be programmed such that a fire
incident in any given detection zone or range of detection zones, can cause either an immediate
or delayed alert or evacuate message to be played in any evacuation zone or range of evacuation
zones. Fire detection and evacuation zones may be either local to the panel, or indeed, anywhere
on the network.
The system provides comprehensive support for ancillary plant devices such as dampers and fans.
By allowing complex user definable states to be downloaded to the panel any conceivable building S-Cubed Sounders and Strobes
plant device can be supported.

System Overview
The Vigilon Voice is a distributed Voice Alarm System, which integrates seamlessly with the Vigilon Fire Alarm system supporting the
needs of large, multi-story buildings and complex sites.
Introduction
A Master ACU allows additional Slave ACUs or microphone units to be supported. This Slave acts as a second VA control panel and mimics
the controls of the Master. No keypad or LCD for programming is provided at the Slave.
The Master ACU can be supplied as either a blank version or complete with a user interface and integral emergency microphone. A Master
ACU is always required when more than one DAU is to be used on the same system.
The ACU enables paging announcements to be made to the distributed systems. An interface is provided to allow inputs from the Vigilon
control panel(s) to control Digital Voice Announcements (DVAs) from the distributed systems.
Control Network Operation

The control network acts as a transparent transmission medium for the control protocol to be transmitted from the ACU to the DAUs.
The network is configured as a loop and is tolerant to open or short circuit cable faults between nodes of the loop. This is achieved by
the network normally operating in a preferred transmission direction, should a fault be detected, the originating node shall effectively
transmit in both directions around the ring. Receiving DAUs are able to detect the new data direction.
Audio Distribution
Baseband Audio will require one copper pair per channel. Three audio channels are supported as a minimum to enable simultaneous
‘Alert’, ‘Evacuate’ and emergency microphone audio to be broadcast. In non-emergency conditions the audio channels may be used for
background music and routine paging functions. The audio loops are fault-tolerant.
As well as distributing the audio, it is required that a master microphone, Press-to-talk, signal is also conveyed over the audio link. This is
to fulfil the BS 5839 Part 8 requirement that an “All-Call Fireman’s Microphone” operation is supported even if control processors fail.
It is possible for multiple ACU microphones to contend for a single audio channel for emergency microphone announcements. A simple
global priority is implemented between microphones for granting access.

10 Reasons to specify Vigilon Voice
1
Safe evacuation High quality intelligible voice messages reduce
confusion and panic.
2
State of the art technology High quality audio with full digital
signal processing, continuous audio path surveillance and DVA message
monitoring.
3
Save on space Fully featured wall mounted control panel, easier to
accommodate than conventional rack systems.
4
Simple configuration and upgrades All functions software
configurable with no hardware links etc to set. Configuration can be
readily archived and restored. Functionality upgrades involve only
software not hardware.
5
Full compliance with relevant standards Complies fully with BS
5839-8, which is widely called for in project specifications.
6
Ideal for large Multi-storey premises System can be networked,
with a central Audio Control Unit (ACU) controlling up to 30 Distributed
Amplifier Units (DAU).
7
System reliability The network is tolerant to open or short circuit faults
between any two units on data or audio busses, automatically recovering
and pinpointing the location of the fault. Even if all the processors
in the system fail, an All-Call announcement is still possible from the
ACU Emergency Microphone.
8
Site wide audio synchronisation 3 audio channels plus data, allows
simultaneous distribution of Alert and Evacuation messages to allow site
wide audio synchronisation in addition to Emergency Microphone audio.
When no emergency audio is present these channels may support routine
paging or background music functions.
9
No data degradation Data is re-clocked at each DAU to ensure there is
no data degradation as the size of the system increases.
10
Easy to maintain Detailed full system fault status can be viewed at the
central ACU, meaning that remote units do not need to be inspected to
diagnose the exact fault.

Analogue Addressable
System Description
The system will be analogue in operation, with each sensor device providing signal levels relative to the current operating environment.
These analogue samples will be transmitted to the control panel in a digital format to reduce possible corruption.
Outstation background environmental conditions will be monitored every 80 seconds to create a table of each analogue channel for
event analysis. For sensors in a threshold condition 256 data readings will be taken, with fast-scanning employed to locate threshold
outstations within a period of 0.5 seconds.
Addressing of any devices directly connected to the system will be carried out in a manner that does not require manual setting of
switches in either, the head or the base i.e. all addressing will be carried out automatically by the control panel (soft addressed).
Additionally the system should be SAFE addressed (Software Addressed Firm-ware Encoded), incorporating an E2PROM allowing the
soft address to be encoded permanently with each device. This will be achieved via a control panel software prompt only.
To maintain system performance & compatibility, all equipment to be provided by one manufacturer, this manufacturer will be
certified by the British Standards Institute under the registered company scheme to ISO 9002.
All field devices to be connected to the control panel are to be wired directly via 2 core loop circuits. Loop cable types to be selected

Information only: Shall allow access to the Information mode only (see below for description)
Full access: Shall allow access to all the operating modes described below depending on the access rights of the current user.
Textual package options may be operated on their own, or in conjunction with a graphics display package.
Operating Mode And User Access Rights

Information: The information mode shall be useful to security personnel and reception staff who require an indication of events. It shall
be possible to view active events on the fire alarm network, the system historic log and a “tree” representation of the panels and devices
connected to the system. The information mode shall not allow the user to control any aspect of the fire alarm system.
If the graphics display package is chosen then a graphical representation of the location of the device(s) or zone(s) in a fire or fault condi-
tion shall be displayed on one of a set of hierarchical building plans.
Operator: The operator mode shall provide information but also allow control of the fire alarm system including allowing parts of the
system to be disabled. This option is likely to be of use to authorised personnel who are responsible for site evacuation and day-to-day
management of the system.
Engineer: The engineer mode is likely to be of use to engineers who are responsible for maintenance of the fire alarm system. As well as
giving access to the functions of the Information and Operator modes, this mode shall allow device labels and auxiliary text to be modi-
fied.
Administrator: Any of the users may be given administrator access rights. This shall allow these users to add and delete other users. This
is likely to be of use to an authorised person who is also responsible for the fire alarm system.
User access rights: Each user shall have a unique user name and password which shall be associated with an operating mode. Logging
on with the correct user name and password shall give that user access to the functions associated with that operating mode.
Displaying Text & Graphics

Textual and graphical information shall be integrated onto a single display that allows easy access to both types of information.
It shall also be possible to display the graphical information on a number of remote display units connected via a network.
Maintaining Fire Alarm Integrity

A PC-based monitoring system utilises commercial computer equipment to provide information and control of the fire alarm system.
Although there is an uninterruptible power supply option, this still does not bring the system up to the rigorous standards of a fire alarm
system.
To ensure that the operator always has access to information and control even if the PC-based system should fail, the computers shall be
sited close to a control panel or other secure display panel. The panel shall be close enough for the operator to hear the buzzer and to
see the primary indicators.
