1 Introduction
The Intelli-Sense-NeT network is a true peer-to-peer token passing system that has been optimised for re systems.
It allows larger buildings to be protected by distributing the re panels throughout the building, instead of having to take all
the detection circuits back to a single point.
Details of all Fires, Alarms, Pre-alarms and Faults are passed over the network, allowing any panel or display
terminal in the building to show information as required. Each re panel can be programmed with appropriate
cause- and-e ect for the entire building.
The installation can also be partitioned into sectors (i.e. for multiple building sites such as college campuses) and
each panel can be assigned to a speci c sector. Control key and other operations can be de ned, at each panel, to
be e ective and respond to commands issued in some, all or none of the other sectors.
Panels, Display Terminals, BMS / Graphics Interfaces and Intelli-Sense Mimic Units can be integrated within the
network without the use of special installation spurs or other dedicated interfaces and wiring.
The fault tolerant (secure) network will continue to operate fully even if there is a single open or short circuit fault
condition on any one of the installation cables. In addition, the network diagnostics view option gives detailed and
clear information to identify the location of any network cable fault conditions.
1.1 Key Features
The Intelii-Sense-Net system Dynamix zoning facility
allows the networked system to share up-to
2000 zones giving non-confusing indication
and allowing true peer-to-peer cross panel
report, control and site-wide cause and e ect
functionality.
Simply adding and connecting a network card
allows any Intelli-Sense control panel or remote
terminal to be networked. All other nodes on
the Intelli-Sense-Net system will be instantly aware
of a panel as soon as it is given a valid network
node address, allowing additional panels to be
added at any time with a minimum amount of
reprogramming. All panels incorporate a
network analyser providing valuable diagnostic
and status information and also have the
facility to prevent the transmission of res or
faults during commissioning.
For more complex systems, the Windows
based PC-Net Mx con guration software allows
sector based programming for Mute, Silence,
Resound and Reset control keys as well as
investigation delays, group disablement and
test instructions. All panels within the same
sector will share common controls and each
panel or remote terminal can also be
programmed to show speci c network
information on a zone basis.
For cause and e ect, any input device can be
programmed to operate any output device on
any panel and, to simplify the programming, all
the con guration data is contained within one
user -friendly network con guration le.
Intelli-Sense Fire Panel Technology
The Intelli-Sense-Net network system allows
all Intelli-Sense series control panels, remote
terminals and network peripherals to be
connected together using standard re
resistant two-core cable.
It provides both the bene ts of distributed
intelligence and reduced installation costs
whilst catering for the smallest two-panel
network through to the largest 200 panel
wide area networked system.
The network operates as a true peer-to-
peer system allowing information from any
input or output device to be passed over
the network and displayed on any Intelli-Sense
control panel or remote terminal as required.
Details include Fire, General Alarm, Pre-
alarm, Fault, Control Inputs and
Disablement as well as analogue values,
test instructions and status information.
The network is available in two formats:
Intelli-Sense-NeT Network (Radial Format)
Intelli-Sense-NeT+ Network (Secure Format)
