3 Overview
3.1 The EBL512 system
EBL512 is a microprocessor controlled intelligent fire alarm system,
intended for analog addressable smoke detectors, as well as
conventional detectors and manual call points. Programmable control
outputs and output units are available. Up to 512 addresses can be
connected to each control unit (c.i.e.).
EBL512 is available in several types, versions and configurations. It
can be connected to a TLON network, a "system", with up to 30
control units. Each control unit has access to all information.
EBL512 is designed according to the European standard EN54, part 2
and 4. The front conforms with SS3654.
3.1.1 Expansion boards
In the control unit (c.i.e.) it is possible to mount up to six expansion
boards. The following types are available:
1580 8 zones expansion board
1581 8 relays expansion board
1582 External FBP interface board3
1583 German FBP interface board4
1584 Autronica interface board (four BS4 loops)5
1587 External FBP / DU interface board3
Regarding the expansion boards, see also the EBL512 Planning
Instructions and drawings.
3.1.2 Printer
Control unit 1549 is equipped with a printer.
In control unit 1548 it is possible to mount a 1558 Printer.
3.1.3 Power supply
The main power source is a built-in rectifier (1537), 230 V AC / 24 V
DC, 4.5 A.
The second power source is a backup battery (2 x 12 V). In the c.i.e.
is space for two 24-27 Ah batteries. Larger batteries (up to 60 Ah) has
to be placed outside the c.i.e.
The batteries and the rectifier are connected to the Charger board
(1657)6, which handles the charging of the batteries, etc. Low or High
current charging mode is selected depending on the wanted backup
3Max. two 1582 + 1587 boards (together) per control unit.
4Max. one 1583 board per control unit. 1583 board is not possible to use in
Swedish (SBF) convention.
5Max. four 1584 boards per control unit. 1584 board is only possible to use
in Swedish (SBF) convention.
6The former Charger board for EBL512 had the type no. 1557.

battery capacity (backup time) and/or the EBL512 current
consumption. See the EBL512 Planning Instructions, chapter "Power
supply" for more information.
3.2 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 update the S/W in the
old control units. It is highly recommended to have the same S/W
version in all control units but the S/W version 2.X.x require the
same S/W version in all control units.
3.3 Documents
The following documents (except this document) are available:
•Planning instructions
•Drawings
Normally information that is found in one document is not to be found
in another document, i.e. the documents complement each other.
3.4 Applications
The EBL512 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 (PC S/W Win512) and commissioning of the
control unit / system is very easy. Start with one control unit and then,
when required, add more units. The TLON network makes it possible
to install the control units in one building or in many buildings.
3.5 PC S/W
Win512 is used for programming and commissioning of one or more
control units:
•download / backup of site specific data (SSD)
•download of S/W / settings / conventions / configurations / C.U.
& system data / etc.
•create and download the user definable text messages shown in
the alphanumeric display in the C.U. / ext. FBP and in the Display
units.
Win512 shall have the same (or higher) version number as the
EBL512 S/W version number (e.g. 2.2). Backup require the same
version number (in Win512 and EBL512). Old files can be opened
and saved in a higher version of Win512 and thereafter downloaded.
TLON Manager is used for network programming.
NEWTEXT (DOS based "older" program) can be used to create /
download the user definable text messages in the Display units
connected to the COM loops.

4 Control Unit
Figure 1. The EBL512 Control Unit (1548 / 1549). The look
might vary according to configuration, country, etc.
The control unit (c.i.e.) is housed in a grey metal cabinet. The door
has a Plexiglas ahead of the FBP part, see Figure 1. When the door is
open, you fully see the front (the Fire Brigade Panel, FBP, and
Control Panel, CP), see Figure 2.
Figure 2. The EBL512 front; FBP (upper black part) and CP
(lower grey part). The look might vary according to
configuration, convention, etc. (An English front is shown in the
figure). See also chapter "LED indicators and push buttons",
page 16.

The fire brigade personnel use the FBP to see which alarm point /
zone(s) having generated fire alarm. In the alphanumeric display
(LCD, 2x40 alphanumeric characters), the information displayed on
the first row is depending on how many alarm points / zones having
generated fire alarm (and also convention). On the second row is, for
an alarm point or a zone, a user definable text message shown, if
programmed.
Required fire brigade personnel manoeuvres can be performed from
the FBP.
The CP is used to "communicate" with the system, e.g. for
commissioning, monthly tests or maintenance. Access codes for
different access levels are required. A keypad is used to get access to
the system (a menu tree with main and sub menus) and for different
manoeuvres. The CP has several system status LEDs.

9Multiple reset (Default): All fire alarms in the system will be reset
simultaneously. Single reset: The fire alarm displayed in the LCD (first row
to the left) will be reset. When more than one fire alarm is generated (LEDs
"Alarms queued" are lit) each fire alarm has to be individually reset. Single
encapsulated reset: Fire alarm reset like "Single reset". Encapsulation
function described in EBL512 Planning Instructions, chapter "System
properties (settings).
NOTE (1)! When "Multiple reset" or "Single reset" is used, encapsulated
reset can be done by pressing "Reset" (P4) and 0.1 sec. later also press
"Alarms queued" (P1) and hold them pressed for > 0.5 sec.
By Single reset: The fire alarm displayed in the LCD (first row to the left)
will be encapsulated.
By Multiple reset: The fire alarm displayed in the LCD (first row to the left)
will be encapsulated or the points in alarm status within one zone will be
encapsulated or the whole zone (conventional) will be encapsulated.
NOTE (2)! When "Single reset" or "Single encapsulated reset" is used you
can make a "Multiple reset" by pressing "Reset" (P4) and 0.1 sec. later also
press "A" (in the keypad) and hold them pressed for > 0.5 sec.
