3.4.2 Smoke detection control unit

Designed and built in compliance with the regulations in force, the fire detection control unit is capable of identifying anomalous situations and distinguishing them with diverse signals: alarm, pre-alarm, fault, warning, exclusion, test, monitor. All reports are visible both on display and on both LEDs.

The control panel has a number of areas which can be connected to the detectors.

Each detection unit is equipped with its own output of alarm repetition, allowing the alarm to be repeated on the monitoring system.

The smoke control unit and the light/siren signal group, equipped with a buffer battery, are suitable to signal the danger even in conditions of a complete power failure.
If the main 24V power supply of the control unit should fail, the malfunction is indicated visually (alarm warning light) on its control panel.

If both power supplies (main and buffer battery) should fail, the control unit activates the smoke alarm siren.

CAUTION

The control unit has been set and tested by RIVA; do not alter the programming controls. Contact RIVA After Sales & Service Department.

CAUTION

In case the accumulator of the smoke detection unit is discharged, the siren starts automatically.

Use of the smoke control unit and of the signal light/ acoustic alarm unit:

The batteries fitted to these units are maintenance free, they do not need to be filled with distilled water.
Keep the terminals on the battery top clean at all times to prevent the battery discharge. Check the battery terminals, they should not be loose and must not have any sign of rust or oxidation.
Apply some Vaseline on the terminals to prevent their corrosion.

ENVIRONMENT

Handle and dispose of batteries according to the rules in force. Use only authorised disposal procedures. In case of doubts, contact the Port Authority.

WARNING

If possible, keep spare batteries on board.
