The Elotec Confire Fire Alarm series provides an EN 54 compliant modular Fire Detection and Fire Alarm (FDAS)
solution aimed, primarily, at the construction industry. The system is made up of devices for smoke / heat detection,
manual fire and first aid Call Points and a Base Station for status and fault indication.
Each element of the Elotec Confire Fire Alarm Series communicates to the other devices using radio frequency (RF) links
which permit rapid deployment and reconfiguration of the site as needed. Additionally, the smoke / heat detectors and
manual fire and first aid Call Points are battery operated – avoiding the need for fixed infrastructure and cabling.

Key:
1 – Elotec Confire Base Station (ELOTEC CONFIRE)
2 – Elotec Confire Call Point (CONF-CP)
3 – Elotec Confire Detector:
with A1R type heat detector head (CONF-HEAT)
with Optical smoke detector head (CONF-OPT)
4 – Elotec Confire Heat / Smoke Detector acting as mesh extended network node
5 – Elotec Confire Call Point connected to the network via mesh extended network node
Highly Configurable, Readily Adaptable –
The Elotec Confire radio network supports up to 240 units consisting of any
combination of Call Points, heat detectors and smoke detectors. Units can be added and removed from the network as the
site dictates.
Extended “Mesh” Network –
Elotec Confire Call Points, Heat Detectors and Smoke Detectors automatically create a
mesh network. Units that are unable to communicate with the Base Station directly can pass their messages through
other Elotec Confire units that are able to communicate with the Base Station. The Elotec Confire mesh network allows
the range of the Fire Detection and Alarm System to be extended and to cope with problematic radio signal propagation
without the need to install a specific “repeater” type unit.
First Aid Call –
Elotec Confire Call Points include both Fire and First Aid Call Points. A different audible alert is used to
distinguish between Fire and First Aid.
Zones
– Elotec Confire Call Points, Heat Detectors and Smoke Detectors can be placed into “Zones”. The audible evacuate
alarm can be configured to evacuate the whole site, or just the zone in which the alarm was triggered. The Base Station
reports both the unit’s identity (unit ID) and its zone.

The Elotec Confire Fire Alarm is a Fire Detection and Alarm System. Its primary function is to protect personnel and
property by detection of the presence of fire and by sounding the alarm.
Figure 1 - Raising the Alarm
Confire allows the alarm to be raised by:
1 – Automatic detection of fire using heat or smoke detectors
2 – Manual detection of fire using Call Points
3 – Manual evacuation at the Base Station (e.g. in the site office)
Upon detection of a fire, Confire will sound an alarm at the triggered Call Point (if applicable) and an audible alert at the
Base Station (e.g. in the site office) before automatically sounding the alarm at other Call Points in the system.
The system may be configured into Zones so that the alert can be sounded in specific areas (see Zones, page 20). The
system may also be configured into “Double Knock” mode so that two Call Point triggers are required before the alarm
is sounded.
NOTE:
The double knock feature does not apply to smoke / heat detectors. The alarm will sound when a single detector
is activated irrespective of the configuration of the Base Station or Detector.

The system will store the last twenty (20) events in its internal memory. These can be viewed bypressing the “View Log”
button. Events include alarm activations and fault conditions.
NOTE:
In order to use the logging feature, the time and date must be set correctly using the configuration too – see Basic
Settings, page 58.
CAUTI ON!
Failure to set the time and date may result inunexpected event logging behaviour!

Figure 3 - establishing device range
In order improve signal transmission, the Confire range will automatically:
Establish a “mesh” network
– Confire devices automatically creates a mesh network between units that allow
messages that cannot reach the Base Station directly to be passed through other units where possible.
Use alternative frequencies
– Confire devices automatically “hop” between different frequencies to reduce the
impact of momentary interference from 3rd party devices operating in the same frequency range.
In the event that reliable communication between units and the Base Station cannot be achieved, the installer can:
Move Devices
– Confire units can be re-deployed to remedy transmission problems with specific units. As units
are moved, the mesh network will automatically adapt to the new conditions.
Add Devices
– Adding more Confire units can improve transmission to/from existing units. Adding another unit
(Call Point or Detector) into the mesh network creates additional possible routes through which, messages can
be passed.

Elotec state a nominal radio range of one (1) kilometre in free space – however this range is highly dependent upon site
conditions such as the weather and objects placed between the transmitter and the receiver such as buildings, temporary
structures, terrain and trees. Radio signals may also be affected by reflections caused by metallic structures or interference
from other systems operating in the same frequency range such as radio links.
Elotec Confire units communicate in both directions and, therefore, act as both transmitter and receiver. The radio path
loss may be asymmetric – i.e. the transmit and receive path may be unequally affected by the environment.
It is, therefore, difficult to estimate the performance of devices in the network accurately before they are installed in the
environment.

NOTE:
After moving a unit, ALWAYS perform a Comms Test (see “Test Comms”, page 15) to confirm that the unit
is connected to the network and confirm that the Base Station does not report any faults. It should be noted that,
because of the mesh network, moving a unit to improve the communication to/from one unit may have the opposite
effect for another unit in the network.
Further guidance on how to determine the performance of the radio network is given in “Placement of Confire Units”
page 18. In case of difficulties achieving acceptable network coverage and/or range, please contact Elotec.

The Elotec Confire Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) provides eight (8) zones (0 to 7). Detectors and Call
Points may be assigned to a zone during the configuration step.
Figure 4 - Zone Configuration
Zone 0
– Special Zone. If an alarm is generated by a Detector or Call Point in zone 0, it will trigger an evacuation of all
zones triggering an audible and visual alarm at all Call Points in the network.
Zone 1-7
– Normal zones. An alarm generated in this zone will trigger an audible and visual alarm in all Call Points within
the zone. An audible and visual alarm will also be triggered in zone 0.
