2. Panel Overview
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Panel Variants
The user interface and operation of the Fire Alarm Control Panel
BS-420 and the Operator Panel BS-430 are identical. The panel is
therefore referred to as the operator panel throughout this handbook
(refer to chapter 2.2).
The Repeater Panel BU-BV-420 serves as both a Fire Brigade Panel
and an Information Panel.
The Fire Brigade Panel is identical to the upper section of the operator
panel (refer to chapter 2.3).
The Information Panel serves as an indication device only.
The LED indicators are identical to the ones on the upper section of
the operator panel, but the panel provides different buttons (refer to
chapter 2.3).
In addition, AutroSafe comprises standard loop panels; the Fire
Brigade Loop Panel BU-110 and the Information Loop Panel BV-110.
The functionality/operation (including buttons and indication devices)
of these loop panels are, with few exceptions, similar to the Fire
Brigade and Information panel, respectively.
2.1.2 Indication Devices
During normal operation when the power is ON, the Power indicator
always displays a steady green light.
Apart from this, only indicators relevant to the actual condition are
visible. For example, if a fault is present the fault indicator will have a
yellow light.
The fire alarm control panel is available in three different variants
specifically designed for the onshore market (BS-420), maritime
market (BS-420M) and petrochemical oil & gas market (BS-420G/BS-
420G2).
Functionality:
The BS-420M, BS-420G and BS-420G2 versions meet the
requirements of SOLAS Detection Zones.
Only the BS-420G and BS-420G2 versions support PowerLoop (The
Autronica loop communication protocol for high power gas and
flame detectors).
Name of indicators/buttons:
The name of the indicators and buttons are almost identical for all
versions, with some exceptions. Refer to the description in this
chapter.

2.2 Operator Panel
All alarm handling and system features can be configured, controlled
and monitored from the operator panel (Fire Alarm Control Panel
BS-420 / Operator Panel BS-430).
Each operator panel is assigned to one Operation Zone (refer to
«Zonal Definitions» in Appendix). Relative to its own zone, an operator
panel is local, while it is remote to operation zones which are not
encompassed by the local zone. All events and actions occurring in a
particular operation zone must be handled from a local operator panel.
The operator panel displays information on events occurring in all
operation zones. However, the type of events and the level of details
of the given information depends on which operation zone the
information is related to. Local panels will list all detection zones in fire
alarm state. Remote operator panels will list remote alarms only, and
function as «indication only» devices.
The operator panel consists of two main sections. The upper section,
and the lower section which is the Operator Part.
The standard onshore market version BS-420 is shown below.

2.3 Repeater Panel BU-BV-420
The Repeater Panel BU-BV-420 serves as both a Fire Brigade Panel
and an Information Panel.
Settings on a dipswitch determines the type of panel. Each panel type
is described in the following chapters.
2.3.1 Fire Brigade Panel
The Fire Brigade Panel is intended to give information related to fire
alarms in the relevant Operation Zone and allow the fire brigade to
operate fire alarms. The panel is identical to the upper section of the
operator panel.
The panel is used to silence and resound sounders, and to reset fire
alarms within a defined operation zone.
Each panel is assigned to one operation zone. Relative to its own
zone, a panel is local while it is remote to all other operation zones.
All events and actions occurring in a particular operation zone must be
handled from a local panel.
The whole system can be reset from this panel, provided that the
panel's relation to the operation zone is defined this way.
The panel displays information on fire alarms occurring in all operation
zones. However, the level of details of the given information depends
on which operation zone the information is related to.

2.3.2 Information Panel
The Information Panel is intended to give additional information
related to the defined Operation Zone(s). The LED indicators are
identical to the ones on the upper section of the operator panel, but
the panel provides other buttons (Next Window and Lamp Test).
Information Panels are distributed throughout the system to give the
general public information related to fire alarm situations. The panels
serve as indication devices only.
The panel can display minimum information on fire alarms, warnings,
faults, disablements and tests. No further details are available. Each
of the conditions are presented in a separate condition window, in one
mode only.

2.4 Loop Panels
2.4.1 Fire Brigade Loop Panel BU-110
From the Fire Brigade Loop Panel BU-110 it is possible to mute the
panel’s internal buzzer, silence/resound sounders/bells etc. and reset
the system.
The panel can be configured (by means of the configuration tool) to
show detection zones and point information in an alarm situation, or
detection zones only.
Only points in alarm are shown in the display. Faults and
disablements are indicated by LED indicators. The total number of
detection zones in alarm will always be shown.
By operating the More Events Button, it is possible to scroll through
and view detalied information of the first 64 alarms (or 32 first alarms,
if the panel is configured to show both detection zones and points).
2.4.2 Information Loop Panel BV-110
The Information Loop Panel BV-110 serves as an indication device
only. It provides information related to the defined operation zone(s).
The panel can be configured (by means of the configuration tool) to
show detection zones and point information in an alarm situation, or
detection zones only.
By operating the More Events Button, it is possible to scroll through
and view detalied information of the first 64 alarms (or 32 first alarms,
if the panel is configured to show both detection zones and points).
The panel can store up to 6 faults and 6 disablements. The total
number of faults and disablements in the system will always be
shown, but it is only possible to scroll through and view detalied
information of the first 6 faults and disablements (using the More
