Description
• Flexibly expandable control panel
network for mid-sized/large systems
• Easy installation since control panels
can be arranged physically distributed
• With or without display and operating
fi eld
• Analogue ringbus technology with
unshielded detector cabling
• Addressable conventional technology
• EN 54/VdS-certifi ed
The Fire Detection Control Panel BCnet216 in wall mount
cabinet is a decentrally located control panel for medi-
um-sized to very large or far-fl ung fi re detection sys-
tems and consists of individual sectional control panels.
The sectional control panels are normally installed on
the spot – adapted to the object and distributed across
the building. They can, however, also be combined at
one or several locations.
The control panel can easily be adapted to any required
system size and provides literally unlimited possibilities
also for future extensions.
All sectional control panels are connected with each
other via a redundant high-security network (the Global
Security System network GSSnet). The decentralized
structure not only reduces the cabling work for con-
necting fi re detectors, but also, above all, signifi cantly
improves the failure safety of the entire system com-
pared to conventionally designed fi re detection control
panels.
The BCnet sectional control panels with wall mount ca-
binet are available with (BC216-2) or without (BC216-3)
display and operating fi eld. Both versions provide two
slots for the connection of function modules (Conventi-
onal Detector Interface GIF8-1 or Loop Interface LIF64-
1) to which a total of 16 detector lines in addressable
conventional technology or a total of two ADM loops
(ringbus technology) or a combination of the both can
be connected.
The sectional control panel can be expanded by two
additional ADM loops with the BCnet sectional control
panel/extension. This way, up to four ADM loops can be
provided in one wall mount cabinet.
Easy parameterisation by means of PC software en-
ables you to optimally adapt the control panel to your
individual requirements.
Fire is a permanent threat to life and property. There-
fore, immediate response to a fi re is imperative. The
main objective of the fi re detection control panel Series
BC216 is to alarm and to react in time and, conse-
quently, save lives and protect property. For decades
LST have focused their aims to undertaking unrivaled
efforts in order to realize new innovations in the security
area. Research, development and production are loca-
ted within LST premises, thus guaranteeing fl exible and
reliable individual solutions.
Using a 32-bit multiprocessor system, the fi re detection
control panel Series BC216 ensures topmost effi ciency
and speed – prerequisites for saving lives and minimi-
zing damage to property.

Clear Concept
The BCnet sectional control panels BC216-2 and
BC216-3 are modularly designed sectional control pa-
nels of the fi re detection control panel BCnet216 that
are connected via the Global Security System network
GSSnet. Depending on their confi guration, they provide
the following features:
• The Conventional Detector Interface GIF8-1 permits
the connection of automatic detectors and manual
call points in conventional technology as well as spe-
cial detectors with contact output. Individual detector
identifi cation can be achieved by means of an optio-
nal address module.
• Detectors and modules in ADM loop technology can
be connected to the Loop Interface LIF64-1. Depen-
ding on the parameterisation, either the Apollo/Disco-
very protocol or the System Sensor/200 protocol is
used to achieve bi-directional data transfer.
• Since the BCnet216 is compatible to LST fi re detec-
tion control panels of previous generations, the ex-
change or expansion of existing systems in conventi-
onal technology or ADM loop technology is possible.
The existing detector installation can be used without
changes.
• The optional Fire Brigade Interface FWI2-1 serves
for the connection of two independent transmitting
devices for a direct interconnection to a designated
alarm respondent (e.g., the fi re brigade) as well as
for the connection of a country-specifi c fi re brigade
control unit. By using the Fire Brigade Interface Addi-
tional Board FWZ2-1, a line supervision for both of the
transmitting devices is accomplished.
• Customizable outputs and logical combinations of
detectors and detector zones for the activation of
external controls and alarming devices facilitate ma-
ximum fl exibility. Thus, no additional expenses arise
for external relays, logic gates or timers. Thanks to
the wide range of parameterisation possibilities, indi-
vidual requirements even under the most diffi cult am-
bient conditions can be combined into a reasonable
fi re protection strategy.
• By integrating input and output modules on any positi-
on in the loop you can realize enablements or disable-
ments as well as control tasks in your system without
having to care for additional wires.
• The free combination of detectors and modules into
logic sectors allows for the joint operation of defi ned
parts of the system even beyond the limits of loops
or sectional control panels.
• The use of unshielded loop cables allows for cost-
saving and uncomplicated installation as well as for
the possibility of reusing the existing cabling.
• An event memory allows for the display of the la-
test 500 events on the main operating unit of the
BCnet216 at any time. Thus, all system conditions
and user operations that occurred are documented
with all the necessary information in a clearly laid out
way.
• At a central processing board failure, the diversifi ed
redundancy concept ensures secure alarm recogniti-
on.
• The processor-monitored power supply ensures per-
manent surveillance and charging of the batteries.
This way, even during a mains power failure the un-
troubled and uninterrupted operation (for more than
72 hours depending on the design) is guaranteed.
• Three hierarchized authorization levels for operation
and parameterisation facilitate a high degree of secu-
rity against unauthorized access.
• On a sectional control panel with display and operating
fi eld (BC216-2), depending on the parameterisation,
the entire system or only specifi c sectional control
panels can be operated. In the same way, the display
of events from the other sectional control panels can
be suppressed.
• The parameter data can be created by means of the
PC software PARSOFT and loaded into the control pa-
nel in a comfortable way. Thus, a quick and effi cient
transfer of the system confi guration into the control
panel is guaranteed.
• AUTO setup facilitates parameterisation when the
control panel is commissioned or expanded and thus
helps to save time.
The fl at wall mount cabinet allows for an easy mounting
in virtually any place of the building. Thanks to its mo-
dern, ageless design, architectural requirements and
demands of the respective regulations are ideally com-
bined. The compact design allows for the accommoda-
tion of the function modules, the auxiliary modules and
batteries up to 22Ah apart from the central processing
board in the standard case. If a higher battery capacity
is needed, an auxiliary case of the same design is avai-
lable. BCnet216 thus stands for modularity and easy
expansion.
These products comply with all relevant standards of
EN 54 and are VdS-certifi ed. In addition, the products
also hold several country-specifi c approvals and certi-
fi cates. LST‘s high quality level is secured by a perma-
nently monitored quality management system certifi ed
by ISO 9001.

The fi re detection control panel BCnet216 opens up
manifold possibilities for the realization of specifi c
requests of fi re detection, especially in spacious buil-
dings, high-rise buildings or wide-stretched areas. The
decentralized security network that has been created
by BCnet216 offers increased security and reduces the
total expenses due to a much lower cabling volume.
The consistent ring-shaped cabling guarantees commu-
nication between the sectional control panels even in
the event of a line fault.
A sectional control panel of the BCnet216 is parame-
terised as main operating unit for the administration of
the GSSnet, all other members can be equipped with
or without a display and operating unit. The system is
designed modularly and can be gradually expanded
according to future demands. The maximum size of a
BCnet216 comprises 127 network members, 9700 de-
tector zones, 9700 actuations, 999 alarming devices,
99 transmitting devices as well as 199 logic sectors.
Different interfaces are available for the connection of
external information devices, e.g., a facility manage-
ment system or a remote maintenance system.
As you can see in the fi gure below, cabling of the detec-
tors is required only between two neighboring sectional
control panels. This clear and fl exible arrangement of
the sectional control panel creates a powerful network.
In this way, most economical cabling and thus effi cient
use of the installation expenses is guaranteed. Larger
distances between individual sectional control panels
can be bridged through the use of optical fi ber modems
or long distance modems.
The entire virtual control panel BCnet216 provides for
the monitoring in mid-sized and large systems, applying
the same technology and the same software tools as
with the single control panel BC216-1. This guarantees
a minimum of training and expansion costs as well as
expenses of the user and thus guarantees the optimal
use of resources during the usable life of the building.
BCnet sectional control panels are available in wall
mount cabinets, as 19“ compact version and in 19“
slide-in technology.
