Highlights
Safe, precise, and reliable – ■
from detection to monitoring
Reliable detection, fast notifi cation, quick
response – Sinteso sets the standard
in all three areas. At the fi eld level, for
example, with everything from state-of-
the-art fi re detectors to immunity from
false alarms. Fast, fault-tolerant network
technology ensures maximum reliability
in communication between FDnet devices
and the control panel. And the control
panels allow simple, intuitive operation,
plain text displays and unambiguous
instructions – and let security personnel
concentrate on the event.
Scalable and versatile – to meet
■
every need from “standard” to
“special”
The Sinteso fi re detection system was
developed using decades of our experi-
ence in fi re protection. In combination
with the Sinteso fi re detectors, the
Sinteso control panels FC2020, FC2040
and the modular control panel FC2060
offer a comprehensive and homogeneous
system.
The characteristic feature of the Sinteso
family is its fl exibility to meet any require-
ment. In a standard confi guration, for
example, two loops can be connected to
a FC2020 control panel, and four loops
to a FC2040, expandable to 4 or 8 loops
while using same number of addresses.
A comprehensive range of FDnet devices
is available for every task.
The result is a comprehensive fi re detec-
tion system on a shared technology
platform with provision for simple,
open-ended expansion in the future.
Homogeneous and expandable –
■
for greater effi ciency throughout
the entire life cycle
Economic effi ciency is a key factor in
the installation phase. For example,
the FDnet-powered devices require no
additional cabling for power feeding
or data transport or for connection to
the control panel.
Moreover, Sinteso can be expanded or
modernized at any time: Additional de-
vices and lines can be simply connected
to the system network (FDnet, FCnet)
when a building is expanded. The FCnet
is expandable by connecting additional
panels via Ethernet.
Effi ciency is also ensured whenever you
upgrade – because new generations of
devices and software versions are “mem-
bers of the family”. And if you ever want
to use rooms for new functions, newly
developed parameter sets can be down-
loaded.
Increased fi re safety – thanks to
■
communication with other security
systems
For comprehensive safety, Sinteso can
be quickly and easily integrated into a
Siemens Danger Management System via
BACnet. The benefi t: Security personnel
can operate the fi re detection system
centrally – together with other systems
such as video surveillance or access
control. This offers increased security
because a danger area can be easily
monitored with video cameras. The
recorded fi lm footage can also be used
later to help analyze the cause of an
event. With access control, escape routes
can be monitored and doors opened or
closed quickly.
All-around safety – due to reliable
■
detection, high availability, and
transparent operation
Innovative functions, such as degrade
mode and standby functionality with the
control panels, further optimize safety.
For example, the video fi re controller
allows visual verifi cation of an event. Re-
dundant sensors increase the availability
of the detectors – and turbo isolators as
well as loop installation increase the avail-
ability of the fl oor repeater terminals even
in case of an open or short circuit.
