EIB Alarm Central Unit Operating Instructions
Introduction
The EIB alarm central unit is a modern intruder alarm system using the European
Installation Bus (EIB) for the transmission of information. It keeps an object under
surveillance and detects and signals intrusion attempts.The system is no substitute for
any mechanical safeguarding devices which prevent intrusion into your property.
You can use the EIB alarm central unit as a comfortable extension for any existing EIB
installations.
ThealarmcentralunithasbeendesignedincompliancewithVdS (GermanAssociation
of the Damage/Loss Insurers) guidelines.
The present operating instructions describe the concept and operation of your EIB
alarm central unit. Please read them thoroughly and keep them ready to hand. It will
provide all the information needed to ensure perfect operation.
1. General Remarks and Definition ofTerms
In this section, we shall explain to you the most important safety engineering terms that
you will need to understand your alarm system.
Safeguarding area
A safeguarding area ("SA") is a part of a building kept under surveillance by a group of
detectors.
Detector
A device keeping under surveillance a part of an object and signalling to the central unit
an intrusion or any attempt of intrusion. Frequently used detectors include magnetic
contacts, glass breakage sensors and alarm-type motion detectors.
Fire detector
Whereas"normal" detectors, which are supposedtosignalintrusion, must be expressly
activatedtodoso("armed"), those in the "fire detector" safeguardingareawillalwaysbe
ready for service and will set off an alarm in the event of fire.Usually, smoke detectors
are used for this purpose.
