1 General
To equip buildings, facilities, commonly-frequented areas and working spaces with a fire warning
system can only be carried out economically and with reasonable propriety when correspondingly
well-founded safety concepts are developed and accordingly applied.
Wherever the highest requirements are made on a fire warning system, whether in small
commercial facilities or in industrial plants, the Fire Alarm Computer 8000C transforms safety
techniques and economy into practical reality. The modular design with different micro modules
and individual extension concepts allow the Fire Alarm Computer 8000C to be easily adapted to
special requirements. The Fire Alarm Computer 8000C represents the most modern standard of
fire warning technology. A reliable fire warning facility is guaranteed by the application of
"intelligent" fire detectors connected in an analog ring loop which is tolerant to short and open
circuits.
In this ring loop - the esserbus®- up to 127 bus subscribers each divisible into 127 individual
detector zones can be connected with an overall cable length of up to two kilometres. The
esserbus®is a two-wire line supplied and monitored at both ends in ring topology. The Fire Alarm
Computer 8000C automatically registers the wiring of the ring loop and determines the logical
addresses of the individual bus subscribers. A separate adjustment of the addresses of the
individual bus subscribers is unnecessary.
Subscribers in the esserbus®are automatic and non-automatic intelligent fire detectors, technical
alarm modules (TAL) and the specially developed esserbus®transponder input/output devices.
These esserbus®transponders are bus subscribers with freely programmable inputs and outputs,
for example for the activation and monitoring of external devices such as display panels, alarm
devices, door closers and other connected equipment.
Using the essernet®safety network, 31 Fire Alarm Computer 8000C or other network subscribers
such as display and operating panels or alarm devices can be connected in a homogenous
network. Operation of the fire warning system, e.g. switching off a detector zone, is possible from
any fire alarm control panel or operating panel in the essernet®. Signals such as alarm, trouble,
disconnection or other events are transferred to all subscribers in the essernet®and can be
accessed from any desired position. Data exchange can, according to the transfer rate, be carried
out either with a twisted pair or a LAN cable. The essernet®communications protocol guarantees
reliable data exchange even if a short or open circuit occurs in the network.
These Operating Instructions are intended to aid you in the operation of the Fire Alarm Computer
8000C in addition to the description provided by the specialised installer and should be kept
together with the technical documentation of the fire alarm system. If you have any questions,
please consult your specialised installer.
The operation of an installed and operative fire alarm control panel may only be carried out by
authorised and trained persons under observance of the safety precautions and, if necessary, in
collaboration with the assisting institutions (e.g. fire department).

By means of the key switch, the keyboard is unlocked for operation. With these keys, it is possible
to control control panel functions such as switching detector zones and detectors on and off.
Function keys
With the four function keys, the menu points positioned above them in the plaintext display are
selected. Depending on the current state of the fire alarm control panel or the operation level,
differing menu points are shown in the display.

detector or detector zone will be shown on the alphanumeric display.
If evacuation plans or guidelines exist for cases of fire alarm, these plans have to be
followed and the premises have to be evacuated, if necessary. Make sure to inform yourself
well in advance about existing escape routes and required measures in case of a fire.

Pre-Alarm
Fig. 6:Common display pre-alarm
In the Pre-alarm status, the master box (MB) is not activated to route the alarm to the assisting
bodies. A Pre-alarm is signalled when an intelligent fire detector reaches the pre-alarm level or
when in a programmed twin-loop/twin detector connection a loop or a detector have detected a fire
alarm. The controls programmed in the customer data for this situation such as relay outputs to
actuate alarm devices are activated.
The Pre-alarm is automatically reset if no further signals are transmitted. The common display Pre-
alarm is extinguished and any activated alarm devices are switched off. If further alarm signals
occur, a fire alarm is automatically initiated and the master box (MB) is activated.
PRE-ALARM
Red LED is permanently on ⇒At least one detector or detector zone is signalling the pre-alarm
condition.
The activated detector or the activated detector zone is
indicated on the plaintext display.
Control actions assigned to this event by means of customer data programming, e.g. relay outputs
for activating internal signalling devices or evacuation signals will be executed.
On pre-alarm, the master box for alarming the emergency services will not be activated.

Delay
Yellow LED lights ⇒An on/off switching interval has been programmed for the delay
function.
During this time, the activating of the master box (MB) due to a
fire alarm is automatically delayed by the delay time
programmed in the customer data base.
Yellow LED blinks ⇒An alarm signal has been detected during the active delay time
and the programmed delay time (max. 600 seconds, according
to programming) has been initiated.
The master box is activated after expiry of this time.
Verify
Yellow LED lights ⇒The function Verify has been activated by theVerify/Buzzer off
key. The programmed Verify time (max. 600 seconds) for the
Verify of the cause of the alarm is running.
The master box is only activated after the expiry of the Verify
time.
The function delay/Verify is described in Section 4.7.
