Safety regulations Components and replacement parts Components and replacement parts procured locally must comply with the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is ensured in the case of OEM replacement parts supplied by us. Use only fuses having the prescribed characteristics. Incorrect battery types and improper exchange of batteries result in an explosion hazard.
Structure of the extinguishing system Extinguishing control unit The XC1003-A extinguishing control unit is used for displaying, operating and monitoring the functions of an extinguishing area and its immediate environs. All detectors, alarm horn, illuminated warning panel, monitoring devices and controllers are connected to the extinguishing control unit.

System overview Power supply The extinguishing control unit is connected to the power mains at all times. In the event of a mains power failure the extinguishing control unit is supplied by built-in batteries. Battery operation in the event of a mains power failure is for a limited time.
System overview Configuration of the system Every extinguishing system is individually configured. The configuration has an effect on operation. The following table shows the configuration of your automatic extinguishing system. Function Configuration Activation of access level 2 [ ] using standard access code [ ] using individual access code Setting of activated time ..
Structure and function Structure and function This chapter describes the structure and function of the extinguishing control unit. It provides an overview of what options are offered by the extinguishing control unit. A more detailed description of the individual procedures is provided in the "Operation"...

Structure and function Function 4.2.1 Access levels The extinguishing control unit is protected by access levels against unauthorized manipulation. Access level 1: operation is possible at any time. Access level 2: operation is possible only using an access code. In Access level 1, as a rule, only the buzzer can be silenced in the event of an alarm or a fault.
Structure and function If yet another detector of the detector zones detects a fire outbreak in the extinguishing area (one detector from each of zones 1 and 2) or if the manual release button is activated (zone 4), the control unit goes over to the "Activated" state.
Structure and function Door latch contact The door latch contact is used for blocking the activation of extinguishing in case of maintenance work. This blocking option is used as a rule in unattended extinguishing areas. As soon as the door to the extinguishing area is unlocked, the automatic activation of extinguishing is blocked;...

Operation Activated time The second fire detector in the extinguishing area has detected a fire or you have activated extinguishing manually by pressing the Manual release button: The alarm horn becomes a fast pulsating tone. The illuminated warning panel is activated.
Operation Disabling system part In certain situations (e.g. maintenance work) it is reasonable to disable parts of the system. If a system part is disabled (isolated), then the LED "Disabled" is lit continuously. Disabled system parts can under certain circumstances prevent the correct acquisition or processing of alarms or faults as well as activation of WARNING extinguishing.
Operation 5.4.2 Disabling alarm Horn, releasing element and fire controls In order to prevent unintentional activation of the alarm horn, releasing element (actuator) and fire controls can be disabled in exceptional cases. Together with the alarm horn, also the releasing element is disabled. Disabled alarm horns and fire controls are not activated in the event of an WARNING alarm! Therefore, re-enable disabled alarm horns and fire controls again as...
Operation 5.4.3 Blocking remote transmission of activation of extinguishing and fault This function may be inoperable. If, in exceptional cases, alarm or fault shall not be remotely transmitted, remote transmission of the alarm or the fault must be blocked. Blocked remote transmissions are also not activated in the event of an alarm or WARNING a fault! Therefore, enable blocked remote transmission again as soon as normal conditions prevail!
Maintenance Maintenance Only a well-serviced extinguishing system is also functional in an emergency. Therefore, carry out the recommended maintenance work on a regular basis or have the work done by a service engineer. At all events, comply at all times with local regulations.
Maintenance Testing illuminated warning panel Check the illuminated warning panel for correct function. Proceed as follows: 1. Enable "Access level 2". The LED "Operating access" lights up. 2. Press and hold the key "Digit 4" and press the "Lamp test" key: The illuminated warning panel is activated for 30 seconds.
Maintenance Checking the remote transmission of alarm If you must periodically check -on a weekly basis, for example the "Remote transmission of alarm (RT-alarm)", you can simulate the enabling of manual release. When doing this, however, exercise extreme caution: first of all, always block the automatic and manual activation of extinguishing as well as the alarm horn and disable the fire control.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting In this chapter information is provided in case the system indicates a fault or is not in normal operating mode. The following table presents a listing of possible faults with notes on possible causes. Fault Cause/Solution LED "Fault" flashes Technical failure in the system Check whether another yellow LED is flashing If no other yellow LED is flashing, contact the service...
The user assumes responsibility for disposal of the system. If any questions arise at the time of proper disposal and which represent a hazard to persons or to the environment, the technical customer service of Siemens Building Technologies Ltd. is available for information.
