2.2 Safety regulations for the method of operation
National standards, regulations and legislation
Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant
European and international safety standards. Should additional national or local
safety standards or legislation concerning the planning, mounting, installation,
operation or disposal of the product apply at the place of operation, then these
must also be taken into account together with the safety regulations in the product
documentation.
Electrical installations
WARNING
Electrical voltage
Electric shock
●Work on electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified
electricians or by instructed persons working under the guidance and
supervision of a qualified electrician, in accordance with the electrotechnical
regulations.
●Wherever possible disconnect products from the power supply when carrying
out commissioning, maintenance or repair work on them.
●Lock volt-free areas to prevent them being switched back on again by mistake.
●Label the connection terminals with external external voltage using a
'DANGER External voltage' sign.
●Route mains connections to products separately and fuse them with their own,
clearly marked fuse.
●Fit an easily accessible disconnecting device in accordance with IEC 60950-1
outside the installation.
●Produce earthing as stated in local safety regulations.
CAUTION
Noncompliance with the following safety regulations
Risk of injury to persons and damage to property
●
Compliance with the following regulations is required.
●Specialist electrical engineering knowledge is required for installation.
●Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work.
Incorrect installation can take safety devices out of operation unbeknown to a
layperson.

Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance
●If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and must be intended
for the work in hand.
●When starting the fire control panel ensure that unstable conditions cannot
arise.
●Ensure that all points listed in the 'Testing the product operability' section below
are observed.
●You may only set controls to normal function when the product operability has
been completely tested and the system has been handed over to the customer.
Testing the product operability
●Prevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
●If testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
●The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause
injury to anyone or damage to the building installations. The following
instructions must be observed:
–Use the correct potential for activation; this is generally the potential of the
building installation.
–Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
●Inform people before testing the alarm devices and allow for possible panic
responses.
●Inform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
●Before testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.
Modifications to the system design and the products
Modifications to the system and to individual products may lead to faults,
malfunctioning and safety risks. Written confirmation must be obtained from
Siemens and the corresponding safety bodies for modifications or additions.
Modules and spare parts
●Components and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by
Siemens.
●Only use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.
●Wrong battery types and improper battery changing lead to a risk of explosion.
Only use the same battery type or an equivalent battery type recommended by
Siemens.
●Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.
Disregard of the safety regulations
Before they are delivered, Siemens products are tested to ensure they function
correctly when used properly. Siemens disclaims all liability for damage or injuries
caused by the incorrect application of the instructions or the disregard of danger
warnings contained in the documentation. This applies in particular to the following
damage:
●Personal injuries or damage to property caused by improper use and incorrect
application
●Personal injuries or damage to property caused by disregarding safety
instructions in the documentation or on the product
●Personal injury or damage to property caused by poor maintenance or lack of
maintenance

3System overview
Cerberus PRO fire control panels FC721 are operated as standalone control
panels. FC721 fire control panels cannot be networked with one another or with
other FS720 fire control panels.
Cerberus PRO fire control panels FC721 support operation of the CNET detector
line as a loop or stub. Automatic fire detectors, manual call points, I/O components,
transponders and other C-NET users are connected to a C-NET detector line.

4.2 Functions
This chapter describes the most important functions that can be supported by the
fire detection system.
Decision on alarm
The danger signals of the detectors are evaluated by the zone. The decision on
alarm is made at zone level. Decision on alarm can be configured as follows for
each zone:
●Single-detector dependency
–The first detector in the zone which detects the corresponding danger level,
triggers a fire alarm.
●Multi-detector dependency
– The danger levels of several detectors are included in the alarm decision
(e.g. two detectors reporting danger level 3).
Alarm verification concept for delayed alarm transmission
The alarm verification concept (AVC) serves for delayed alarm transmission. The
operating personnel are integrated into the alarming process. During the time (t1)
for monitoring attendance, a check is run to establish whether operating personnel
are present. The operating personnel can examine the fire location during the
investigation time (t2) and can prevent the alerting of the fire brigade in case of
false alarm.
This behavior is only applicable in operation mode 'Manned'.
In operation mode 'Unmanned', the alarm transmission is activated immediately.
An attendance check delay (t1) can be configured for each fire control panel. The
investigation time (t2) can be defined by zone.
Controls
Universal controls can be configured to automatically actuate the appropriate
controls in the event of an alarm. Any events (e.g. alarm or isolation) are linked
logically (OR, AND, NOT) to activate the controls (e.g. the closing of fire doors).
Evacuation
To ensure a controlled evacuation of people from the building in the event of fire, it
is possible to configure chronological alarming in different building sections.
Remote access
The Cerberus Remote Operating Tool provides a PC-based PMI for remote access
to the fire detection system. Remote access to the fire detection system is possible
with the Cerberus Remote Tool. Cerberus Remote is connected to the Ethernet
port of a station.
