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
3
. Each control unit has access to all information.
EBL512 is designed according to the European standard EN54, part 2
and 4. The front conforms to 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 board
4
1583 German FBP interface board
5
1584 Autronica interface board (four BS4 loops)
6
1587 External FBP / DU interface board4
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 Printer 1558.
In Ext. Fire Brigade Panel 1826 it is possible to mount a Printer 1535.
3.1.3 Power supply
The main power source is a built-in rectifier (1537), 230 V AC, 1.5 A
/ 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)
have to be placed outside the c.i.e.
3
The control units can be EBL512 units (1548 / 1549 or 1550) with S/W
version 2.7.x and EBL512 G3 units (5000 / 5001) with S/W United version
2.7.x.
4
Max. two 1582 + 1587 boards (together) per control unit. 1582 will be
replaced by 1587.
5
Max. one 1583 board per control unit. 1583 board is not possible to use in

13
The batteries and the rectifier are connected to the Charger board
(1657)
7
, which handles the charging of the batteries, etc. Low or High
current charging mode is selected depending on the wanted backup
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 as from S/W version 2.X.x the same
S/W version is required in all control units.
In a mixed system (see chapter "Mixed system", page 11) the
EBL512 control units have to have the S/W EBL512 version 2.7.x
and the EBL512 G3 control units have to have the S/W EBL512 G3
United version 2.7.x
3.3 Documents
The following documents are available:
Operating instructions (this document)
Planning instructions
Drawings (e.g. connection diagrams)
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
A number of PC S/Ws are used together with the EBL512 system.
3.5.1 Win512
Win512 version 2.7.x is used for programming and commissioning of
one or more EBL512 control units (version 2.7.x) but in a mixed
system (see chapter "Mixed system", page 11) it is also used for the
EBL512 G3 control units (United version 2.7.x), i.e. to:
create / download / backup (upload) the site specific data (SSD)
7
The former Charger board for EBL512 had the type no. 1557.

program convention / configurations / C.U. & system data / etc.
create and download the user definable text messages (alarm
texts) shown in the display in the C.U. / ext. FBP and other
Display units (AAU / EPU).
download S/W & EBL512 settings.
NOTE! For the EBL512 G3 control units in a mixed system,
WinG3 version 1.1.x has to be used to download S/W.
Win512 shall have the same version number as the EBL512 S/W
version number regarding the two first digits (e.g. 2.7.x and 2.7.x
respectively). Backup require the same version number (in Win512
and EBL512). Old SSD files can be opened and saved in a higher
version of Win512 and thereafter downloaded.
3.5.2 TLON Manager
TLON Manager is used for the programming of network data /
addresses / etc.
3.5.3 Web512 II Config tool
A PC tool, Web512 II Config tool version 2.7.x is used for
configuration of the Web-server II (1598).

4 Control Unit
Figure 1. The EBL512 Control Unit (1548 / 1549). The look
might vary according to configuration, country, etc.
The control unit is housed in a grey metal cabinet. Depending on
country, convention, configuration, etc. the look, language and
functions might vary, as well as the max. number of loop units
(addresses).
The door has a Plexiglas ahead of the FBP part, see Figure 1. To open
the door (=access level 1), a key is required (supplied). When the
door is open, you fully see the front (the Fire Brigade Panel, FBP, and
Control Panel, CP), see Figure 2, page 16.
To open the inner door, for the purpose of maintenance or servicing, a
screwdriver is required.

Figure 2. The EBL512 front; FBP (upper dark grey part) and CP
(lower light grey part). The look might vary according to
configuration, convention, etc. (e.g. English texts as in the
figure). See also chapter "LED indicators and push buttons",
page 17.
The fire brigade personnel use the FBP to take required operational
control of the system and to see which alarm point / zone(s) having
generated fire alarm. In the 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 (alarm text) shown, if programmed.
The CP is to "communicate" with the system, i.e. for commissioning,
monthly tests, maintenance, etc. 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.

Multiple 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 is like "Single reset". Encapsulation
function is described in EBL512 Planning Instructions, chapter "System
properties (settings). (Encapsulated unit / zone = disabled unit / zone.)
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.
