Alarm points Units, which can generate a re alarm (in the control unit), i.e. analog detectors (sensors),
conventional detectors, manual call points, etc.
Smoke detector Analog or conventional photoelectric (optical) smoke detector
Sensor Sensor = Analog detector
Analog detector
Contains an A/D-converter. The Control Unit pick up the digital values ("sensor values")
for each detector individually. All evaluations and "decisions" are then made by alarm
algorithms in the C.U. As from version 2.0.x the latest detector generation (440x) can be
used in "Advanced mode", i.e. the alarm algorithms are in the detector instead. Analog
detectors are addressable – an address setting tool 4414 is used for the detector's COM
loop address and mode settings.
An analog detector has to be plugged in an Analog Sensor Base (ASB).
Analog Sensor Base (ASB) An analog detector is plugged in an ASB, which is connected to a COM loop (see below).
Conventional detector
A detector with only two statuses, i.e. normal or re alarm. The detector has a "closing
contact" and a series alarm resistor. Normally plugged in a conventional detector base
CDB (see below), which is connected to a conventional zone line input. Some types (e.g.
water proof types) are connected directly on zone line. An end-of-line device has to be
connected in the last unit on the zone line.
Conventional Detector Base (CDB) A conventional detector is plugged in a CDB, connected to a conventional zone line input.
Addressable
A unit with a built-in address device. Each unit is individually identied, handled and indicat-
ed in the Control Unit. (The unit can be an I/O unit with a zone line input, to which one or
more conventional "alarm points" can be connected.)
Conventional zone line input / External line Input intended for one or more conventional alarm points. End-of-line device in the last
alarm point on the line.
Output unit Addressable unit with programmable control outputs. Connected to a COM loop (see
below).
Output / Control output Dened or programmable function. Relay output or voltage output (supervised / monitored
or not), in the Control Unit or an output unit connected on a COM loop.
Display unit (D.U.) Addressable unit (RS485 line) for re alarm presentation (incl. user denable alarm text),
alert annunciation, etc.
COM loop Loop = a cable, twisted pair, to which all the addressable units can be connected. Starts in
the Control Unit and returns back to the C.U.
Control Unit / C.U. / C.I.E.
Control Unit = Control and Indicating Equipment (c.i.e.) = Unit to which the alarm points are
connected (via e.g. a COM loop). Indicates re alarm, fault condition, etc. Fire Brigade
Panel & Control Panel, i.e. the front, included or not included. Printer included or not
included.
Control panel (CP) A part of the control unit (a part of the front), intended for the building occupier / ofcer,
service personnel, etc., to "communicate" with the Control Unit / the System.
System / Installation One control unit or several control units connected via a network (co-operating control
units).
Network with network board 5040
A network with network board 5040 is a redundant network. To connect a control unit to a
network, two network board 5040 has to be plugged in each control unit.
All network programming (conguration) is made in EBLWin

TLON Conn. board/ Channel / Backbone
net / Router / Repeater
Brief explanations to the words/expressions to be found in connection with a TLON net-
work. See also separate TLON Technical description.
TLON® = TeleLarm Local Operating Network = a LonWorks®- based network for com-
munication between several control units/nodes. The protocol is called LonTalk and the
transmission works with doubly-terminated bus topology (Echelon FTT-10). To connect a
control unit to a network, a TLON connection board has to be plugged in each control unit.
EBL512 G3 also supports a redundant TLON Network. In this case two TLON connection
boards have to be plugged in each control unit.
A network can be one channel (FTT-10) or several channels, connected via routers. (In a
TLON Network a sub net = a channel.)
Routers are used for safety reasons in a single TLON Network (up to six control units per
channel). Routers can also be used to increase the distance (cable length) between the
end nodes in a channel.
Router or Repeater is the same type of unit (different conguration). All network program-
ming (conguration) is made with the PC program TLON Manager. See also separate
TLON Manager Operating Instructions.
Nuisance alarms False or unwanted alarms
LED LED (Light Emitting Diode) = Yellow, green or red optical indicator ("lamp").
External Indicator (Ext. LED)
A unit with a red LED connected to a base (ASB / CDB) or a detector with an output for an
ext. LED.

MXE: Indicates recommended exit.
MXER: Indicates recommended exit OR blocked exit.
MXL: For corridors or open area
Fire Brigade Panel (FBP)
Intended for re alarm presentation, etc. for the re brigade personnel. Can be a part of
the control unit (a part of the front) or a separate Display Unit (external FBP).
In an ext. FBP, a printer can be included.
Display / LCD
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) = Display (in the c.i.e. or Display unit) for presentation of re
alarms, fault messages, etc. In EBL512 G3 it is a graphical monochrome LCD (320 x 240
dots) with backlight.
Door open (Door / Key switch) In EBL512 G3 there is a door switch, which is activated when the door is open.
An open door is indicated in the LCD (i.e. an "open door" icon).
Site Specic Data (SSD)
The SSD is unique for each installation. All alarm points, presentation numbers, user
denable alarm texts, programmable outputs, etc. are created in the PC program EBLWin
and also downloaded in EBL512 G3 unit(s) with EBLWin.
Short circuit isolator (ISO)
Addressable unit for automatic disconnection of a part (segment) of a COM loop (see
below) in case of short circuit on the loop. (According to EN54-2, one ISO is required per
32 alarm points.)

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EBL512 G3 is a microprocessor controlled intelligent re alarm system, intended for analog addressable detectors, as well as
conventional detectors and manual call points. It is possible to connect four loops for addressable units. On each COM loop it is
possible to connect up to four SUB-loops. Programmable control outputs and output units are available.
G3 can have up to 1012 addresses, of which up to 512 can be alarm points - according to EN54-2.
EBL512 G3 can be used as a stand-alone control unit or connected to a network. A network can have up to 30 control units.
EBL512 G3 is available in several types, versions and congurations.
TECHNICAL NUMBER
The technical number, NNNNNN, is used when programming all units connected to the COM loops. Technical number is also used
to identify which unit has generated a fault.
PRESENTATION NUMBER
Each re alarm point / input / zone has a presentation number, NNN-NN. The presentation number is shown in the c.i.e. display to
identify the point / zone activating re alarm.
COM LOOP UNITS
Addressable COM loop units are connected directly to a COM loop.

EBL512 G3 V. 3.0.X - FIRE ALARM SOLUTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ADDRESS AND MODE
Most of the addressable units must have both address and mode set. This is done in different ways for different units, for example
address setting tool, DIP switches, jumpers, or via the c.i.e. display. For more information, please read the Technical descriptions for
each unit respectively.
SOFTWARE (S/W) VERSIONS
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions can be found. When installing a new control unit in a system
with "older" control units, you might have to upgrade the S/W in the old control units, or download an older S/W version in the new
control unit. The same S/W version is required in all control units in a network.
EBLWin
The PC program EBLWin is used for programming and commissioning of one or more control units.
TLON Manager
The PC program TLON Manager is used for the TLON Network programming and installation.
APPLICATIONS
The EBL512 G3 system is intended for small, medium, and large installations. The intelligent control units offer the system designer
and end user a technically sophisticated range of facilities and functions.
Programming with the PC programs EBLWin and TLON Manager, and commissioning the system is very easy. Start with one control
unit and later when it is required, add more units. The network boards makes it possible to install the control units in one building or
in different buildings.
