1 INTRODUCTION
Brooks Australia is a specialist company offering 30 years of experience in design,
manufacture, installation, service and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems.
These years of experiencehave,over the last 20 years, beenfocused on Residential Fire
Safety. The Building Code of Australia has set out the fire detection and alarm
requirements for residential occupancies, at the same time creating an awareness of the
need for such life safety systems within the wider community. Australian Standards have
established performance criteria for smoke and heat alarms.
Recognising the unique problems associated with early warning of fire in residential
accommodation, Brooks Australia has developed a range of residential fire alarm
equipment that enables systems design criteria normally applied to commercial premises
to now be adapted to residential occupancies.
In keeping with the philosophy of innovation, flexibility, reliability and quality, Brooks
Australia now offers a new residential fire safety system, the “ALARM 2000”. The Alarm
2000 is specifically designed for small residential occupancies requiring a Smoke Alarm
System under section E2.2 of the Building Code of Australia.

Site Manual
Alarm 2000 Iss 5

2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The System comprises a full range of mains powered Smoke / Heat Alarms, Manual Call
Points and supplementary warning devices both audible and visual connected to a
Residential Fire Indicator Panel.
The Smoke / Heat Alarms are capable of independent automatic operation, however the
Alarm 2000 Residential Fire Indicator Panel provides for the manual activation of the
Smoke and Heat Alarms as well as integration with other essential facilities within the
building, particularly those requiring control under fire conditions. These are selected as
options to the basic system and include Residential Sprinklers, Manual Door Release,
Emergency Lighting, Security, Air-conditioning/Heating Shutdown, Gas Supply Shutdown
and Power Supply Supervision. Circuitry is either supervised orfail safeto ensure system
integrity.
The Alarm 2000 residential panel;
Supports specific warning devices for the Hearing-Impaired. These provide both
visual and tactile responses and can be configured to operate from the common
alarm output from the Alarm2000 panel or as an individual output from a specific
Smoke / Heat Alarm.
Is capable ofbeing remotely monitored via 3rd PartyAlarm Signalling Equipment.
Employs both solid state and microprocessorbased electronic circuit design.
Is housed in an attractive powder coated steel cabinet providing not only high
reliability, ease of installation and aesthetic but is extremely rugged product.
The vast majority of fire fatalities - particularly residential - occur due to the inhalation of
smoke and toxic fumes. A correctly designed and installed Residential Smoke Alarm
System provides an effective LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM, which raises the alarm and
maximises your opportunity to escape.

3 SYSTEM COMPONENTS
3.1 SMOKE / HEAT ALARMS
3.1.1 Basic Information about your Smoke / Heat Alarm
ASmoke /HeatAlarm does not preventfiresbut correctlylocatedand maintainedtheywill
provide the earliest possible warning of fire in order that occupants may exit safely. A
SmokeAlarmisanearlywarningdevice,HeatAlarmsarenotthereforearesupplementary
toSmoke AlarmsforthoseareaswhereSmoke Alarms would notbesuitable.Where Heat
Alarmsare used they MUST be interconnected to the Smoke Alarms installed
3.1.2 Technology Available
Brooks Australia offers a full range of detection technologies.
Ionisation Smoke detection
Photoelectric Smoke detection
Heat detection
3.1.3 Photoelectric model
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms respond to a sufficiently wide
range of fires to be of general use, but are particularly
responsive to smouldering fires and the dense smoke given
off byfoamfilledfurnishings or overheated PVC wiring. They
are much less prone to nuisance alarms from cooking, and
furthermore, contain no radioactive material. However, all
photoelectric Smoke Alarms are prone to nuisance alarms
caused by dust or insect contamination.
Mesh screens are effective in reducing insect ingress, but it
is impossibleto makethealarmsdustproof,sincetheywould
thenbeeffectivelysmokeproof! Forthisreason,itisessential
that photoelectric Smoke Alarmsare always keptclean. This
type, with consideration to the above, should be installed
within bedrooms and living areas adjacent to kitchens.
Operating Principle
Light scattering - transmitter produces pulses of light which are detected by a receiver
when smoke enters the sensing chamber.
Advantages
No radioactive material
No legal requirements for disposal
Particularly responsive to smoulderingfires and dense smokegiven off from foam
filled furnishings, bed linen or over-heated PVC wiring
Less prone tofalse alarms due tofumes from cooking or gas/oil heaters
Ideally suited adjacentto kitchens and bedrooms
Suitable forgeneral use
Disadvantages
More expensive to produce
Prone to false alarms due to dustbuild up or steam -must be kept clean
Brooks models: EIB166e, EIB146RC and discontinued EIPFSPTLH.

3.1.4 Ionisation Model
Ionisation Smoke Alarms respond to a sufficiently wide range of
fire to be of general use and they are particularly responsive to
fast flaming fires where little visible smoke may occur. They are
seldom troubled by dust or insect contamination. However,
ionisation alarms are vulnerable to irritating nuisance alarms
caused by cooking fumes or oil / gas heaters. Furthermore
ionisationalarms will be slowerto respond to smoke producedby
slow smouldering fire.
This type, with consideration to the above, can be installed in
passageways and areas leading to bedrooms.
Operating Principle
Radioactive source ionises the air molecules within the sensing chamber.
Advantages
Least expensive
Dual chambercompensates for changing ambient conditions
Less prone tofalse alarms due todustand steam
Suitable forgeneral use
Disadvantages
Contains radioactive material –Americium 241 0.9 microcurries
Prone to false alarms due to fumes from cooking orgas/oil heaters
Not sensitive to dark smokefrom a slow smouldering fire.
Brooks models: EIB160e, EIP146RC and discontinued EIPFSITL.
3.1.5 Heat Model
Heat Alarms require the least maintenance of any Alarm. There
are locations where the installation of a Smoke Alarm is not
recommended, eg kitchens, laundries etc. Yet theseareas are a
potential of fires and the need for an alternative method of fire
detection is, in the opinion of many fire officers and specifiers,
essential in this and other vulnerable locations of residential
properties.
The Heat Alarm provides such an alternative. Fixed temperature
heat alarms are designed to trigger when the temperature
reaches 58 degC. (136 degF.). The Heat Alarm is not sensitive
to smoke, but in a closed room with a vigorousfire they will tend
torespondfasterthanasmokealarmadistanceaway inthehallway. AHeatAlarmMUST
be interconnected to your Smoke Alarms so that the alarm can be heard throughout the
building. This type, with consideration to the above, can be installed in kitchens, laundry’s,
garages andboiler housesand otherareas where thereare normally high levels of fumes,
smoke or dust i.e. places where Smoke Alarms cannot be installed without the risk of
excessive nuisance alarms.
Operating Principle
Thermistor sensor - resistance value varies with temperature.
Advantages
Ideal for those areas where protection is deemed necessary but where the use of
Smoke Alarms will cause constant false/nuisance alarms i.e. kitchens, garages or
laundries

Whilstnotsensitivetosmoke,inaclosedroomwithavigorousfirethisAlarmwould
tend to ‘alarm’ faster than a Smoke Alarm in an adjacent hallway
Disadvantages
More expensive to produce
Not an early warning device, MUST always be interconnected to other Smoke
Alarms within the residence.
Brooks Models: EIB164e, EIB144RC and discontinued EIPFSTTL.
3.1.6 Visalert
Visalert is a visual warning device which can be interconnected with Brooks mains
powered Alarms e.g. EIB160e series,EIB140RC seriesand TL series (discontinued).
Visalert has a lead acid re-chargeable battery backup, a feature Brooks considers
essential. The battery provides the necessary standby power so that the Alarm is still
capable of providing a warning even if the 230 Volt mains supply fails (i.e. electrical fire).
As the intense strobe light provides the warning for the hearing impaired person, this
should be battery backed for the same reason.
Visalert can be placed in both the bedroom and living areas. The hearing impaired will be
alerted whether in bed or watching television.
For more details refer to Brooks Technical Datasheet TDS020
Keep both battery negative and neutral solderedtogether if the isolate feature is notused.
Separate them if the isolate feature is required. The wiring in Error! Reference source
ot found. shows with the isolate feature.
To identify the battery negative and neutral in the Visalert plug and harness, Figure 4
shows the plug and the arrangement of the four wires. Carefully separate the two blue
wires (neutral and battery negative) as shown in Figure 4 and connect to the field wiring.

3.2.3 Power Supply:
The primary and standby supplies are calculated to suit system alarm and standby
requirements. If theprimary power supplyfails, the secondary supply willprovidesufficient
current to maintain the system fully operational for a period determined by the added
options to the system. Special consideration must be taken when the Gas Shutdown and
Manual Override modules are fitted. This is due to the higher quiescent current these
modules require.
3.2.3.1 Primary Power Supply:
The primary power supply is fully regulated 28V DC switch mode power supply featuring:
Universal AC input 85-264V AC, 47-63Hz

3.2.4 Field Wiring:
All field wiring enters the RFIP via knock-outs on either the top or rear of the enclosure.
Termination is via compression terminals located on the ‘termination’ board specific to the
module options fitted.
3.2.4.1 Mains Voltage Input:
The 230 Vac mains cable terminates at a 3-way junction box located on the inside rear of
the cabinet with switched outputs to the switch mode power supply and the Smoke Alarm
main Termination Board.
3.2.4.2 Battery Input:
Colour coded battery leads are provided to connection of the standby batteries to either
a) Power supply supervision card, where fitted; or
b) TheSwitch Mode PowerSupply through anisolatingdiode (1N5404-3A) where
thepowersupplysupervisionoption isnotfitted.Thediodeisused to isolate the
DC powerof the batteries to the DC powerof the power supply so the mains on
LED willextinguish in case of powerfail.
The battery leads are colour coded to ensure correct fitting to the batteries. Connect the
black lead to the negative terminal of the first battery, red lead to the positive terminal of
the second batteryand the blue lead between positive of thefirst battery to the negative of
the second battery.
Note: If the Power Supply Supervision Card is not fitted, ensure that the circuit
breaker TH1 and link LK1 are fitted tothe RFIP main Termination Board.
3.2.4.3 Smoke / Heat Alarm Field Wiring:
The Smoke/Heat Alarms are wired according to whether the isolate function is
incorporated in the system.
(a) Without isolate function - 3 Wire Systems:
Ifthealarmisolatefacilityisnotrequired,theSmoke/HeatAlarmswillbeterminated
to TB1 on the Main Control and Termination Board mounted on the rear of the
enclosure. Connect Active (brown) to “A”, Neutral (blue) to “N” and Interconnect

dependent upon the configuration selected.
The air-conditioning/heating system may be manually switched ‘OFF’ by pressing and
releasing the 'AUTO/OFF' button. In the ‘OFF’ mode the amber LED integrated to the
switch body will illuminate and will remain in this condition until manually de-selected. To
restore to the auto condition, press and hold the “AUTO/OFF” button until the amber LED
extinguishes (approximately 5 Seconds).

3.3.5 Gas Shutdown Module:
GAS SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
MAIN VALVE OPEN PRESSURE FAULT
RESET TESTISOLATE
The Gas Shutdown System is composed of high quality, proven components to ensure
safe, reliable protection of a gas pipe-work system that does not have existing safetyshut
off equipment. For example, open stove burners in kitchens, or gas Bunsen burners in a
laboratory.TheGasShutdownSystemcanalsoguardagainstrestoringgasifdownstream
pipe-work is damaged or a gas outlet is open. The system consists of two principle
components, the gas shutdown module and Gas Valve/flexible coupling assembly.
The gas shutdown module is designed to be interlocked with sprinkler systems, fire and
smoke detection systems, gas detection systems or emergency stop devices, so that in
the event of an emergency the gas supply can be automatically shutdown as well as
providing outputs for gas valve and occupant warning system actuation.
TheGasValveAssemblyis designed to provide themaingasshutoffvalve,bypassvalve,
bypass valve flow adjuster and gas pressure switch as a pre-assembled, pre-tested
module. This, together with the flexible coupling provided, ensures both ease and
consistency of installation. This modular format also facilitates any servicing or
maintenance that may become required. The valve assembly comes standard in 25mm,
but can be configured up to 150mm.
To properly configure and size the system, the following need to be considered.

HOW IT WORKS
Where an unsupervised burner may be extinguished by the operation of an emergency
stop device, sprinkler system or manual valve, it is essential that the gas cannot be
restored unless all of the gas burners are off, and the associated pipe-work remains
undamaged.
Thegasshutdown system, when properlyinstalled and commissioned,guardsagainst the
accidental restoration of gas when gas burners are left on or pipe-work damaged.
The main gas isolating solenoid valve is installed in the gas supply to the unsupervised
appliances. When the gas supply needs to be isolated, power to the main gas solenoid
valve is interrupted and the valve closes. Before the main gas solenoid valve can re-
opened, the pressure in thedownstreamgas pipe-work is verified bya pressure switch.
