RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracing is a
real-time location system that protects valuable
assets in
archives and libraries by the use of active RFID wireless
tags. Scenarios based on location and motion of the moni-
tored assets allow for flexible security needs. The battery-
powered RFID
tags are protected against tampering. They
feature
infrared and RFID transmission as well as a motion
detector.
The information in this document contains general descriptions of technical options available,
which do not always have to be present in individual cases. The required features should therefore
be specifi ed in each individual case at the time of closing the contract.

Megatrends driving the future
The megatrends – demographic change,
urbanization, climate change and glo-
bali zation – are shaping the world today.
These have an unprecedented impact
on our lives and on vital sectors of our
economy.
Innovative technologies to answer
the associated toughest questions
Throughout a 160-year history of pro-
ven research and engineering talent,
with more than 50,000 active patents,
Siemens has continuously provided its
customers with innovations in the ar eas
of healthcare, energy, industry and in-
frastructure – globally and locally.
Increase productivity and effi ciency
through complete building life cycle
management
Building Technologies offers intelligent
integrated solutions for industry, com-
mercial and residential buildings and
public infrastructure. Over the entire
fa cility’s life cycle, our comprehensive
and environmentally conscious port -
fo lio of products, systems, solutions and
ser v ices in the fi elds of electrical instal -
la tion technology, building automation,
fi re safety and electronic security,
ensures the:
– optimum comfort and highest energy
effi ciency in buildings,
– safety and security for people,
processes and assets,
– increased business productivity.
Point type fi re detectors
Sinteso S-LINE detectors are used in the archive or library
area. The ASA parameter sets provide unsurpassed
detection security to ensure early recognition. This is
particularly critical in archives and libraries where the
likelihood of a smoldering fi re is high. This works so
well that Siemens offers a Genuine Alarm Guarantee
for Sinteso S-LINE fi re detectors.

Video surveillance
The video surveillance system monitors critical zones such
as the archive or library entrance area or public areas – to
record incidents before and after an event.
9
Intrusion detection
Detection of unauthorized access. Siemens offers a
complete range of devices for each kind of risk and
application.
10
Alarm indicators
If a fi re detector that is not easily visible triggers an alarm,
the alarm indicator will quickly identify the area in danger.
7
Voice alarm system
In case of fire, the voice alarm system E100 is auto-
matically activated by the fi re detection sys tem. With
voice announcements, it communicates clear alarm alerts
and evacuation messages in the archive or library and
neighboring areas to assure the eva cuation before the
discharge of an extinguishing agent.

Extinguishing control panels
XC10 control panels combine fire detection and extin-
guishing – by acting as an interface between the two:
After receiving a fire alarm from the connected detectors,
the combined XC10 panels trigger the extinguishing
system. They can be used for single- or multi-sector
applications. Additional repeater terminals allow remote
control of the XC10.
2
Fire control panels
The Sinteso FC20 fi re control panel is the heart of every
fi re safety solution. It converts a fi re alarm into actions
for alarm notifi cation, evacuation and extinguishing. The
extremely simple user interface with prompting texts lets
users quickly check the system status, either locally or by
remote access.
Access control
The access control system provides safe and flexible
access authorization, time recording and
badge issuing.
In an archive or library with high
value concentration,
pin code or a finger print reader
are recommended.

Aspirating smoke detection
Is a highly sensitive system for the earliest possible fi re
detection in ventilated archives or libraries, minimizing the
risk of fi re damage. In an archive or library, it is typically
applied in air in- and outputs as well as in the de tection
system in the room.

Extinguishing with Sinorix N
₂
Sinorix N
₂
is based on pure nitrogen and offers a very valid
alternative for archives containing assets that cannot take
any water.
When there are additional overpressure restrictions in the
protected room, Siemens offers Sinorix CDT N
₂
, a unique
Constant Discharge Technology (CDT) that assures mini-
mum overpressure and turbulences.
Extinguishing with Sinorix H
₂
O Gas
In the protection of archives and libraries, Sinorix H
₂
O Gas
offers the highest extinguishing efficiency known today on
the market. Based on nitrogen and water,
it combines the
excellent extinguishing behavior of nitrogen with water
mist that cools down
burning or heated surfaces. The
limited amount of water needed makes it suitable even
for very
sensitive assets.
8
Sounder and sounder beacon
In the archive area, the sounder FDS221 and sounder
beacon FDS229 are recommended to alert the occupants
acoustically and optically.
6
Electrical manual actuator
For immediate manual actuation of the extinguishing
system, electrical manual actuators are placed along the
exit routes.
