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. The same S/W version is required in all control
units.
3.3 Documents
The following documents are available:
Planning instructions MEW01182
Operating Instructions
Drawings
Normally, information found in one of the documents is not found in
another document, i.e. the documents complement each other.
3.4 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 (PC software WinG3 and TLON Manager)
and commissioning of the control unit / system is very easy.
Start with one control unit and then later when it is 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
3.5.1 WinG3
WinG3 is used for programming and commissioning of one or more
control units:
create / download / backup (upload) of site specific data (SSD)
download of software / settings / conventions / configurations /
control unit & system properties / etc.
create / download the user definable text messages (alarm texts)
shown in the display in the C.U. and ext. FBP / Display units.

Figure 2. The EBL512 G3 front with display; The Fire Brigade
Panel (FBP) is the upper part and the Control Panel (CP) is the
lower part. The look might vary according depending on
language, country, etc. (A front with texts in English is shown in
the figure). See also chapter "LED indicators and push
buttons", page 17.
The fire brigade personnel use the FBP to see which alarm point /
zone(s) having activated fire alarm and to take required operational
control of the system. In the graphical display, the information in the
upper part is depending on how many alarm points / zones having
generated fire alarm. In the middle part a user definable text message
(alarm text) is shown for each alarm point / zone in alarm - 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 LEDs for system status.
In the Australian front only, below the "P3" button, there is also a
"Disable" push button, with which you can "Disable zones in alarm".
