Fire detection: the integrated interface for the hotel automation system

28 Nov Fire detection: the integrated interface for the hotel automation system

Thanks to the DOMINA Hotel Automation System, AVE guarantees an efficient and secure control of automatic fire detection system. This is possible through the user interface ACINT01, that allows the monitoring and an integrated control of the automatic fire detection control unit AC501 and AC502 via the Hotel management software (SFW-ALB05, SFW-ALB06, SFW-ALB07).

Using different Pop-Up for alarm and failures with acoustic signal and a proper description of the detector, and Log events including all information about the automatic fire detection system, the operator can control all the useful information related to an alarm detection and the failure events. In the events of fire detection (red Pop-Up) or devices failure (yellow Pop-Up), the control unit sends an alarm signal or communicate any failure to the interface, the user will be able to visualize the following information:

• of the central unit which has generated the alarm and/or the failure (in case there are different central units in the system).
• of the central unit loop where the device, generating the alarm and/or the failure, is installed.
• of the area which has generated the alarm and/or the failure.
• Address of the device which has generated the alarm and/or the failure.
• Programmed description into the fire alarm central unit of the device which has generated the alarm and/or the failure (example: “Detector room 101”).
• Time and date when the alarm event and /or the failure happened.

In the event of multiple alarms and/or failures, the operator will visualize the first received alarm, and he can scroll between the several alarms and failures signalled pushing on the different flags present on the top menu of the Hotel management software. The acoustic signal associated to Pop-Up can be silenced by the operator. This operation is recorded in an event log that shows: date and time, the name of the operator who carried out the operation and the description of the event silenced. If an alarm and / or failure is silenced, a flashing icon appears on the screen that indicate the number of events silenced. At a pressure on the icon, pop-ups will be repeated without any alarm sound.

Through the interface and the menu “Alarm Log”, the user can also have a complete list of all events generated by the Automatic Fire Detection system, that can be queried at any time also applying filters by category.
