2. Brief Description of DELTA OP
DELTA OP is a micro processor-based operating panel designed for connection to the
DELTA and ANX95 families of fire alarm systems.
The DELTA OP panel is the interface between you and the system and represents the
vital nerve centre of the fire alarm system.
All system activity — fire, pre-alarms, faults, the exact location of the alarm, etc. — is
presented via the graphic display and LEDs. The operator communicates with the
system with the aid of function keys and the numeric keypad.
DELTA OP incorporates several ports for direct network connection with ANX95
systems and for communication with computers, printers and other control or
presentation equipment.
You can program whole fire alarm system using FireWin Explorer — a Windows-
based program that runs on a connected PC. Simple functions can also be configured
via the keypad on connected DELTA OP panels by selecting commands from set-up
menus in a hierarchical menu system.
Adjustment of the advanced functions in Discovery detectors — the new range of
Apollo fire monitors — can also be performed directly from DELTA OP.
Applications
The elegant DELTA OP may be used as the main operating panel in a large fire
alarm system or as a repeater or fire brigade panel. Also, the DELTA OP panel
can directly drive mimic and orientation panels. Read more on chapter "Typical
Configurations", on page 11.

 Communications Ports
The DELTA OP panel has 3 communications ports for integrating the panel
with other network equipment. The communications ports support several
protocols, which can be selected by configuring the panel or by using plug-in
circuit cards.

COM1 and COM2

The COM1 and COM2 communications ports — see Figure 2 — are 9-pin D-
Sub male ports principally intended for communication with computers,
printers, modems and other external units by using the standard RS232 Point to
Point serial bus.
The COM1 and COM2 ports can also be configured to support the ‘RS485
Master/Slave’ serial bus for communications with other network equipment on
the RS485 bus.

DELTA Net Communications Port — eBus

The DELTA Net communications port is based on the use of "Kit for OP, DA:
eBus Communication Board" — a circuit card to be plugged on the DELTA OP
main card.

Kit for OP, DA: eBus Communication Board

Terminal block connections CN1-7.8 on DELTA OP are to be used for
communications via a free topology multi-master eBus for connecting to other
modules and fire alarm systems in the DELTA and ANX95 families. DELTA OP
must then use the plug-in "Kit for OP, DA: eBus Communication Board".
You can find more information in the folder, ‘Installation Guide for Kit for OP,

 Typical Configurations
The DELTA DA module can be used in both compact and distributed solutions.
In the compact solution — all-in-one cabinet — the DELTA OP and DELTA DA
modules form a complete centralised fire alarm system: DELTA Compact.
In distributed solutions, the DELTA OP panel is connected to a network of fire
alarm panels that can be of types: DELTA DA, DELTA Compact and ANX95.
The panel can then be used as the main operating panel for the installation or as
either a repeater or fire brigade panel. DELTA OP can also drive LEDs in mimic
panels, which provide instant graphic presentation of the area reporting a fire
alarm.
The figures in this chapter represent two examples of typical DELTA OP
configurations.

3. How to Operate DELTA OP
This chapter has been written to provide DELTA OP users with fundamental
information about how to operate the panel.

The DELTA OP Operating Panel

DELTA OP’s front panel has a standardised design —manufacturer
independent— to meet Scandinavian specifications regarding display and
handling of all types of alarms.
The layout consists of two functional areas: the presentation area and the
control area.

Presentation Area

Key Switch

Front Cover

Control Area

Figure 5 Figure 6
DELTA OP with closed front cover DELTA OP with open front cover

Description of Keys and Indicators

When DELTA OP’s front cover is closed — see Figure 5 — you face a user-
friendly panel consisting of a graphical LCD display, LED indicators and some
membrane keys — the presentation area.
By opening the front cover — see Figure 6 — you get access to the keypad and
additional function keys — the control area.
Regardless of the front cover position, a key switch is used to deactivate
important keys as a protection against unauthorised personnel.
See also ‘Keyboard Access’, on page 16.

For information on access levels, see chapter ‘Access Levels’, on page 23

 Graphic Display
The graphic display is an important part of the fire alarm system’s user
interface, and is divided in following specific areas:
• Graphics Area— (lines 1 & 2):
The two upper lines display the actual type of alarm, if any.
• Menu Area— First Alarm and Scroll Area (lines 3 & 4):
Normal Mode
These two lines are used by the system for general communication with the
user— via the hierarchical menu system.
Alarm Mode
When in alarm mode the panel displays the 1st reported alarm.
When several alarms are detected, the user can scroll through the rest of the
alarms— while the most recent is locked on lines 6 & 7.
Line 3 displays the programmable display text assigned to the detector in alarm.
Line 4 indicates the address of the detector in alarm, its type, its zone number
and the time & date the alarm was detected.
The menus are still accessible while in alarm mode.
• Statistics Area— (line 5).
Depending on the panel’s mode of operation, this area shows the actual number
of detected fire or fault alarms and the number of loop components and outputs
which are disconnected.
• Most recent Alarm Area— (lines 6 & 7):
When in alarm mode of operation, these two lines display the most recent alarm.
Line 6 displays the programmable display text assigned to the detector in alarm.
Line 7 indicates the address of the detector in alarm, its type, its zone number
and the time & date the alarm was detected
• Date & Time Area— (line 8):
The actual time & date is displayed on this line. It is also used to display the
isolation status of the Alarm Transmitter and Alarm Devices.

Example of Display in Alarm Mode

The figure below shows DELTA OP in fire alarm mode (3 reported alarms).
Lines 6 & 7 show the location of the detector/monitor reporting the most recent
fire alarm (room 1435). The detector address is 0102, assigned to zone 1, while
the alarm has been detected at 23.55 hours, December 31st
Three minutes later, while still in alarm mode, the user has pressed the menu
key (M), so the main menu is displayed on line 3 & 4.

 Basic Operation
You can control the whole fire alarm system from DELTA OP panel.
The primary operation is based on activation of the main function keys, for
example the SILENCE ALARM key, the RESET KEY, etc.
All other functions — not assigned to specific keys — are available via a
network of software menus accessed through the control panel’s keypad, the
‘soft’ keys and the graphical display.

Keyboard Access
When DELTA OP is locked — the key switch is in disabled position — the user
only has access to the information presented in the graphical display and the
LED indicators; the only operation allowed is silencing the internal buzzer —
Access Level 1.
When you unlock DELTA OP with the key switch, the function keys and
keypad are enabled, allowing the operation of the whole fire alarm system.
When the panel is unlocked you gain direct access to the user menus — Access
Level 2.
When the key switch is operated, the system indicates the chosen position for a
short period of time in the display’s menu area.
For example, if you turn the key switch to unlock the panel, the display shows:
KEY SWITCH IN ENABLE

Modes of Operation
The fire alarm system is always in one of following five possible modes of
operation:
• Normal Mode
• Fault Alarm Mode
• Pre-Alarm Mode
• Fire Alarm Mode
• Test Mode

How to Reset Alarms

To reset the fire alarm system to its normal mode of operation — after a fire or
fault alarm has been reported — you have to press the RESET key; in other
words:

 Test Mode
A fire alarm system is in test mode when one or several detectors, input or
output devices are being tested, while the rest of the system is completely
monitored. Several test facilities can be performed via the panel’s keypad.
However, fault, fire and pre-alarms — from detectors not in test mode have
precedence over the test mode facility and will be alarmed normally.
Following types of tests can be performed:
• Zone Test:
Allows ‘fire’ testing detectors in a zone
• Test of individual analogue detectors
Permits automatic testing of analogue values of individual detectors —
individually or all in a loop
• LED Test
Tests the front panel’s LED indicators and graphic display
• Test of alarm output circuits
Allows testing whether the system alarm output circuits are operative

 Fire Alarm Test
The control panel Zone Test facility enables you to test whether the detectors
assigned to a zone are operative. Using test gas sprays you can test the correct
operation of the detectors in the zone.
Proceed with the following steps:
1. Spray the detector head with gas
2. The control panel reports visually a fire alarm from the activated detector
3. No Alarm Output is activated
4. The detector is automatically reset after approx. 20 seconds

If desired, press the Silence alarm key to activate alarm bells for 1-2 seconds.
Automatic reset after approx. 20 seconds.

9 Fault, fire and pre-alarms — from detectors not in test mode— have precedence
over the test mode facility and will be alarmed immediately in the normal way.

Testing Analogue Detectors

The control panel Detector Test facility enables you to test the analogue values
of detectors. IQ8 detectors uses continuous self diagnostic tests.
The test results for each detector are presented as a test value compared to the
detector normal analogue value. The detector test is satisfactory if the test value
is at least 25 analogue units higher that the given normal analogue value.
You can run the test on all detectors on a loop and print out the results or you
can test the detectors individually and get the results on the graphic display.

LED Test
The Front panel test facility enables you to test all LED6 indicators, the internal
buzzer and the graphic display.
The test will last for approx. 10 seconds, and will then stop automatically. The
system will revert to normal mode again.

Testing Alarm Output Circuits

The control panel Alarm Circuit Test facility enables you to test the system’s
alarm outputs.
The test consists of automatically activating the chosen output for approx. 20
seconds. The system then returns to normal mode.
Following Alarm Output Circuits may be tested:
• Extinguishing/Control Outputs (A.Gr. 22)
• Alarm Transmitter Output (A.Gr. 03)
• Fault Alarm Output (A.Gr. 04 and A.Gr. 06)
• Alarm Device/Sounders Output (A.Gr. 05)
• Other types of Alarm Group (A.Gr. XX)

6
System fault LED can only be tested together with testing of the fault alarm output.

 The Operating Menus
You can control the whole fire alarm system from the DELTA OP panel.
Primary operation is based on activation of the main function keys such as the
SILENCE ALARM key, the RESET key, etc.
The more advanced operation of DELTA OP incorporates the use of hierarchical
software menus built up around the Main Menu. Each option in the main menu
displays submenus with new options, giving you access to all system functions.
You choose menu options by selecting via the keypad the number in front of
them on the display.

; The system will report any alarm detected while you are operating the panel. No
alarm will be ignored or postponed while interacting with the system, as alarms
have higher priority than the menus.

Access Levels
There are four levels of access to the system— in accordance to the European
Standard EN 54 Part 2 on Control and Indicating Equipment.
• Access level 1 is the lowest level — key switch in disabled position — allowing
the user to receive information from the graphical display, the front panel’s LED
indicators and other interfacing equipment, such as printers, PC’s, etc. The only
operation permitted is muting the internal buzzer.
• Access level 2 allows the authorised user to operate the control panel— key
switch in enabled position— giving access to the panel’s function keys, the
keypad and most of the functions, via menus.
• Access level 3 is only used by system engineers and other technical personnel.
This level is password controlled and has three sub levels:

Sub level A— password A— accesses vital engineering functional controls, such

as Automatic Key Entries, isolations, detector texts, etc.

Sub level B— password B—allows use of special functions for servicing

personnel, such as programming the number of input devices in a loop, etc.

Sub level C— password C— is used by system engineers to set up and program

the fire alarm system.

• Access level 4 is the highest level, permitting change of the system by means of
replacing electronic parts, such as PCBs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, etc. It is also the
only level that allows changing the Fire Counter.

 System Information
DELTA OP incorporates the facility to access legible system information via
software menus.
The following type of system information can be accessed:
• Adjusting the system clock, regarding time, date, year and day of the week.
• Adjusting, reading or printing detector data— such as analogue values, highest
& lowest values, limits, number and type of detectors on a loop, customer
specified detector texts, etc.
• Display or printing of system log (events history).
• Programming of customer specified detector texts.
• Display of system’s version number
• Display of system’s fire counter.

9 For information about how to access system information, take a look at ‘The
Operating Menus’, page 23.

Version Number
In order to ensure that your DELTA OP incorporates specific functions or the
latest improvements, you may need to check your system’s software version.
This information is available via software menus, and you can quick access it as
follows:
Press following keys on the keypad:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) g (VERSION NO.)

System Date & Time

DELTA OP incorporates a real-time clock that enables you to determine the
exact time an event occurred.
The system clock is, among other things, used as reference when automatic de-
isolation of devices is performed.

; It is very important that you set up the system clock to the correct date & time,
especially when the control panel is ‘powered up’ for the first time or after
reconnection of the power supply.
Press the following keys on the keypad:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) c (TIME AND DATE)

26 User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09

 System Log
DELTA OP recalls in its electronic memory the most recent 1,500 to 2,000
events, faults, pre-alarms, fire alarms, operations on the panel’s keyboard, etc.
Further control panel activity will also be saved, but it will overwrite the oldest
messages in the memory. In other words, the system will always ‘remember’ the
most recent 1,500-2,000 events.
All these events — the system log or history of events — are stored
chronologically, allowing the possibility of maintaining statistics concerning
alarm situations. The data can also be used to take decisions in order to prevent
false alarms in critical environments.
The log provides information about:
• Type of event, (alarm, pre-alarm, fault, function, user operations, etc.)
• Loop- and/or address number, analogue values, etc.
• Time & date of the occurrence.

The system log of events can be presented on the following equipment:

• On the system printer
(connected directly to the panel)
• On the operating panel display
(scrolling of events on the display)
• On a personal computer
(using, for instance, “terminal.exe”6 —MS Windows terminal emulator software
— to read log files ‘NOTES1’, ‘NOTES2’... ‘NOTES5’, depending on the
chosen type of log. The files may then be saved in your hard drive as ASCII-
files — text files.)

Logs with the following types of events may be chosen:

• All fire alarms detected
• All fault alarms detected
• All kinds of recorded events
• Data stored in the system’s EEPROM
• All isolations.

For quick access to your system log, press following keys at the keypad:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) e (LOG)

9 For information about how to access system information, take a look at, ‘The
Operating Menus’ page 23.

The communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) in DELTA OP and the computer are to be the same.
Note that the program ’PCMENY’ is not to be used.
User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09 27
 The Fire Alarm Counter
DELTA OP stores in its electronic memory the number of fire alarms reported
since the panel was assembled in factory.

9 For security reasons, resetting the number of reported fire alarms is considered
as access level 4. Only authorised personnel may have access.
To check how many fire alarms your system has reported since installation,
obtain your system’s fire alarm counter number by pressing following keys:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) h (FIRE-COUNTER)

Adjustment of Detector Data

The facility of displaying and adjusting detector data— especially regarding
addressable & analogue detectors — is of great importance for adapting your
fire alarm system to the site environment.
The following detector data may be accessed:
• Current analogue values, limits and maximum & minimum values.
• Setting limit values
• The number and type of detectors on a loop
• Customer specified detector texts

Reading Analogue Values

Addressable & analogue detectors sense the conditions in the area being
protected, producing an analogue signal which changes with smoke density and
temperature.
This detector converts the signal from analogue to digital data and transmits it
to the control panel.
The following standard set-up of threshold alarm levels is recommended for
monitors installed in a normal clean atmosphere:

Analogue value (a.u.)

5 45 55
Fault Normal Pre-alarm Fire

• Normal Level (approx. 25 a.u.)

An analogue value of 20 to 30 should be expected from a monitor
sited in normal clean environment.
Manual Call Points, Zone Monitoring Units and other non-analogue
devices have a Normal Level of 16.
• Pre-alarm Level (approx. 45 a.u.)
Analogue values over 45 — adjustable from 30 to 55 — represent
smoke densities and/or temperatures high enough to indicate a pre-
alarm.
Non-analogue devices have no Pre-alarm Level.

28 User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09

 • Fire Alarm Level (approx. 55 a.u.)
Analogue values over 55 — adjustable from 45 to 65 —represent
smoke densities and/or temperatures from monitors enough to indicate
a fire condition. Non-analogue devices have a Fire Alarm Level of 64.

When you select Reading Analogue Values, the information is presented—

depending on the chosen menu option— in one of the following manners:
1. Obtain Current Analogue values & limits
a) From All monitors on the loop (as a printout)
b) From one monitor (individually) (on the display)
c) From monitors with analogue values over 30 and under 16,
(as a printout)
d) From detectors with non-standard limits — limit values changed
since system reset (as a printout)
2. Obtain Maximum & Minimum analogue values
(since power down or last analogue value reading)
a) From All monitors on the loop (as a printout)
b) From one monitor (individually) (on the display)

If you want the system to present the detector data on the display as a
histogram, see "Dynamic Histogram", on page 29.
For quick access to detector data, press following keys on the keypad:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) d (DETECTOR DATA)
For information about how to access system information, take a look at, ‘The Operating
Menus’, page 22.

Dynamic Histogram
If you prefer to view the analogue values as dynamic histograms, each segment
of the display represents 3 analogue values, while the display presents the
monitor data, press following key on the keypad:

)i (Special histogram key, while displaying detector data)

The histogram will move right/left dynamically, representing the actual

analogue value. Press i once again to go back to numeric display.
To return the system to normal mode, press:

)M (main menu)

User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09 29

 Setting Alarm Limits
Due to environmental pollution, (e.g. dust, cigarette smoke, etc.) the monitors’
response may be gradually altered, producing higher analogue values.
In order to reduce the occurrence of false alarms, DELTA OP incorporates the
facility of individually adjusting the pre-alarm and alarm limits of the monitors.

9 For security reasons, adjusting alarm limits is considered as access level 3, and
requires a password. Only authorised personnel may have access.

; Alarm limits must be adjusted within the ranges below; otherwise, the values
will not be accepted by the system:

PRE-ALARM LIMIT should normally be 20 analogue units (±10 %) above the

adjusted normal level, and should be between 30 and 55 a.u.

ALARM LIMIT should normally be 30 analogue units (±10 %) above the

adjusted normal level, and should be between 45 and 65.

For information about the normal level, turn to page 28.

9 The adjusted values will be stored in the system’s memory (EEPROM) and will
be remembered, even if the control panel is powered-down.

Displaying Loop Information

In order to give you useful information about the number and type of detectors
connected to a loop, DELTA OP incorporates following menu option:
On the keypad, press the following keys:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) d (DETECTOR DATA)
) e (LOOP DATA)
For each loop, you will be able to access the address of the last detector and
total number of detectors of each type — smoke, heat detectors, manual call
points, etc.

9 For information about how to access system information, take a look at, ‘The
Operating Menus’, page 22.

30 User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09

 Displaying Detector Texts
DELTA OP incorporates the facility of displaying a pre-programmed customer
specified text of maximum 40 characters for each addressable detector and
conventional loop.
Usually, this text information indicates which area of the building a
conventional detector loop protects or where an addressable monitor is installed.
Detector texts will be automatically displayed when the monitor reports a fault,
pre-alarm or fire alarm. For control purposes, you may manually display the
programmed display text of any detector and conventional loop in the system.
For quick access to a detector’s text, press following keys at the keypad:

) M (main menu)
) f (SYSTEM INFO)
) d (DETECTOR DATA)
) f (SHOW ALARM-TEXT/ZONE INFO)

Other Functions
The advanced technology in DELTA OP incorporates many other facilities
particularly useful to you.
Some of the facilities that make DELTA OP a user-friendly system are
described below.

Automatic Key-Entries, Macros

Most of the DELTA OP functions are accessed via menu options by pressing a
specific sequence of keys on the keypad.
To facilitate activating frequently used functions, (i.e. daily isolation of a
specific zone), the system incorporates an automatic way of entering the
specific sequence of keys — a macro.

What is a macro?
A macro is a sequence of key-entries saved by the system for later use.
A macro is programmed by first giving it a name (which you do by choosing a
number on the keypad, for example number 8) and then pressing the specific
sequence of keys necessary for activation of the function you want to automate
(for example to isolate a zone). The system will then save the sequence of key-
entries for later use.
When the function — isolation of the zone — is required, instead of pressing
through the sequence of keys to isolate the zone manually, just enter the macro
number from the main menu. The system will then automatically isolate the
zone for you.
Each DELTA OP panel incorporates the possibility of programming 7 different
macros, with storage capacity for up to 100 key-entries for each macro.
Macro numbers 7, 8 and 9 are activated via the panel’s numeric keypad. Macro
numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are activated via the DELTA OP panel’s dynamic ‘soft’
keys under the graphic display.

User’s guide Delta OP Art. no. 351204.013, v4-08-09 31

 Programming a Macro
To program a macro select hidden option 5 from the main menu.

9 For security reasons, macro programming is considered as access level 3, and

requires a password. Only authorised personnel may have access.

) M (main menu)
) g (hidden option)
) {{{{ ‘ (actual password)
) (for example, soft key with macro name ‘2’)
) { ----- { (sequence of keys to isolate zone 15)
) M M (stops recording key-entries)
All the key entries are now recorded in the system.
Note that zone 15 has been isolated during macro programming.
In the same manner, you could program a macro (with name ‘3’, activated by
soft key number ‘3’) to de-isolate all devices in zone 15.

Using a Macro
If, as explained above, you have programmed macro number ‘2’ for isolation of
zone number 15 and macro number ‘3’ to de-isolate the same zone 15, you
could now press soft key number 2 under the graphic display— to isolate zone
no. 15.
Some hours later, you could press soft key number ‘3’ — under the graphic
display to de-isolate zone no. 15.

Macros Activated from Menu Options

To program or use macros 7, 8 and 9 (for activation directly from the panel’s
menu options) you follow the same procedure as explained above, but you
choose macro name 7, 8 or 9 instead of 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Pre-programmed Macros
Macro numbers ‘8’ and ‘9’ are pre-programmed from factory. Macro number
‘8’ scans detector loops and collects data from analogue devices. Macro number
‘9’ stops the system printer before printout is finished.
You may re-program macro number ‘8’ and ‘9’ with different key entries to suit
your needs.

What's a Fire Alarm System?

Eltek’s fire alarm system principally consists of an intelligent control panel (or several
panels in a network) which provides visual warnings of alarm situations in various ways
and activates the control panel’s alarm and control outputs. This is done on the basis of
information about the development of smoke, heat, flames, etc., from components on the
loops.
The system communicates with the following types of components on the detector loops:
♦ Conventional detectors
♦ Analogue, addressable detectors
♦ Ancillary addressable devices
(e.g. addressable digital and analogue inputs on I/O units — DIO)

Each of the system’s alarm and control outputs — terminal blocks in the control panels
or modules and in ancillary devices — can be programmed individually and can be of the
following types:

Control Panel
♦ Voltage Outputs
Loop Alarm &control ♦ Voltage-free outputs
Components outputs
The control panel may be configured to activate —
based on information from loop components —
every output in the system in many different ways.
Each of the panel’s outputs must be set up with the
following parameters:
♦ Type of alarm (alarm group):
alarm bells, fire brigade remote alarm, control
outputs, faults, pre-alarms, two-detector
dependency, etc.
♦ Delayed or instant activation
♦ Monitoring function and output number
Graphic presentation and remote control ♦ Cause & Effect (activation pattern):
of the panel from a PC which loop components activate the output and
Example of the principles of a fire alarm system activation pattern (pulsing, continuous, etc.)

 HDFA Detection Line — Fire Brigade Output
In today’s modern, software-based systems, if the microprocessor stops and the
internal watchdog electronics do not manage to start it again, the system will not
function satisfactorily.
HDFA:
Hardware Detection In order to avoid this — and other communication faults on the network or detector
of Fire Alarm loops — the DELTA modules have built-in galvanically insulated electronics for
hardware detection of fire alarms. Thus the DELTA modules conform to the
European Standard EN54 Part 2.

DELTA Net
DELTA Net communication — between DELTA OP and DELTA DA modules —
consists of two twin cables, where one of them is used as HDFA detection line and
the other twin cable as eBus communication line.
The HDFA function will be able to report a fire alarm from the DELTA DA
modules even if:
The microprocessor in DELTA OP stops
The microprocessor in DELTA DA stops
(Discovery detectors only)
Communication on the DELTA DA detector loops does not work
(Discovery detectors only)
There is a break or short circuit in network communications
(all types of detectors)
In such situations the HDFA function in the relevant DELTA DA module will be
activated. Any fire alarm signals will be detected by the DA module’s HDFA
function, which will send the message on to the main DELTA OP panel via the
HDFA detection line.
HDFA alarms will be shown as a fire alarm indication7 and will activate the fire
brigade remote output in the main DELTA OP panel.

 Intelligent DELTA Logic+
In order to make secure and stable operation of fire alarm installation easier and to
prevent undesired alarms, even in difficult environments, Eltek has developed
DELTA Logic+, a further development of our Fireguard Logic system.
DELTA Logic+ is collective expression used to cover the environmental adaptation
features on offer with the DELTA concept, and incorporates the three main
functions set out below.
A key feature of DELTA Logic+ is the option it gives you of adjusting areas of the
protected premises to provide greater sensitivity so that you achieve the benefits of
early warning (greater security in sensitive areas). Another great feature is the
automatic environmental compensation built-in the Discovery range of detectors.
DELTA Logic+ has the following main properties:

Individual Adjustment of Alarm Limits

Pre-alarm and fire alarm detection levels can be adjusted individually at the control
panel, within acceptable limits, for each analogue detector.
This property makes it possible to use smoke detectors in areas where some smoke
may be present.

Alarm Verification
This function allows you to individually adjust at the control panel how long an
analogue detector may report a pre-alarm or fire alarm before the fire alarm panel
raises the alarm.
This property makes it possible for some areas to have high temporary
concentrations of smoke without notifying an alarm. The fire alarm panel stores the
highest and lowest smoke concentration levels for any detector.

Compensated Analogue Value
for changes in sensor output caused, for example by
dust in the chamber, and will therefor hold the
sensitivity at a constant level even with severe
Time (months)
chamber contamination.
Compensation values are stored in non-volatile memory and will be retained even
if detectors are disconnected.
Response Modes
Each detector in the Discovery range can operate in one of five response modes,
any of which can be selected from the control panel. Each mode corresponds to a
unique response behaviour, which can be broadly related to sensitivity to fire.
Whatever the type of detector, Mode 1 will give a higher sensitivity to fire than
Mode 5. The selection of the most suitable mode depends on the application.
Guidance on detector and mode selection is given in the selection grid below:

Discovery Response Mode Selection Grid

hotel room trucks) ventilated)

Ion
Optical
Multi
Heat

Suitable Recommended

For ionisation and optical smoke detectors, the modes relate to different
combinations of smoke response threshold and response time. For the heat
detector, the mode relates to the fixed temperature setting and the sensitivity to
rate-of-rise of temperature. For the multisensor, the mode relates to the levels of
smoke and heat sensitivity and to the way in which the responses of the two
sensors are combined.
The response characteristics of the detectors have been carefully set so that
detectors will comply with the requirements of the relevant part of EN54 in all
response modes.

To program the system, please contact Honeywell Life Safety’s Service

Department. For security reasons, the configuration of the system should be
regarded as access level 3 (in terms of EN 54). Only authorised and qualified
personnel should have access to the set-up.

 Addressing Rules for Networked Systems

Network — Address Ranges

Eltek’s distributed fire alarm system usually consists of a
Example of system units’ numbers network of intelligent fire alarm panels, operating panels and
01 02
other modules — DELTA DA, OP, ANX95, ANX95E, etc. —
eNode which communicate with each other via the fire-alarm
network. Every panel and module is a system unit in the
network. In order to identify each of them, they must

Quad
You can configure the DELTA module's system unit number
from the keypad of any DELTA OP panels connected to the
eBus network or from the FireWin Explorer application
ANX95E
running on a PC.
Note that the configuration of the system unit number on an ANX95 and ANX95E
control panel is only to be done from its own keypad.
Eltek’s fire alarm system has the following address range for system units in
networks:

Address Range for System Units

Connected to Eltek Network

Control Panel eBus RS485 Master / Slave
DELTA Compact 01 — 256 01 — 99
DELTA OP 01 — 256 01 — 99
DELTA DA Quad 01 — 256 —
DELTA Repeater 01 — 256 01 — 99
Fireguard DELTA 01 — 99 01 — 99
ANX95 01 — 99 01 — 99
ANX95E 01 — 99 01 — 99

• Note that eBus networks require consecutive system unit numbers starting with
number "01". Also, to conform to the European Standard EN 54 Part 2, the main
operating DELTA OP panel is to be configured with system unit number "01".

• RS485 Master / Slave networks do not require consecutive system unit

numbers, but do not conform to the EN54 standard.

• The address ranges above are also limited by the wiring topology of the eBus
(FTT10) network. The maximum number of nodes allowed is:
128 nodes in STAR, LOOP and FREE topologies and 64 nodes in BUS topology.

 Fire Zones — Definition
A fire zone is the defined area of a building or property to be fire protected. All the
fire detectors monitoring this area are assigned to the fire zone. A fire zone maybe
monitored by one or more detectors or by all the detectors on a loop.
Fire zones mainly define natural fire cells in the building, and are divided into sub
zones in order to be able to implement various control requirements within the
same fire zone. Fire zone definition enables you following features:
On the display
alarms or pre-alarms from detectors will be referred to their fire zone
During operation
you can test, connect or disconnect fire zones in one operation
When programming
you will be able to specify the sub zones that will activate individual alarm and
control outputs

Example of Fire Zone Assignments:

If loop 01 has 60 detectors, you could assign all of them to the same fire zone "01".
As no special control functions are required for this zone, you assign all the 60
detectors to just one sub zone, "0101". See table below
Loop 05 has 95 detectors connected, and as you need for instance to disconnect
detectors 61 to 95 separately, you assign them to two different fire zones ("02" and
"03"). See table below.
In addition, you have different control requirements for the loop 05 detectors:
detectors 01 to 12 must activate certain door retainers, while detectors 13 to 20 will
not activate the sounders, etc. You assign then sub zones "0201", "0202", etc. for
the different control requirements. See table below.
Required fire zone assignments in this example:
Fire Zone No.8 Sub Zone No. Detector Addresses
(max. 256) (max. 256)
01 0101 0101 — 0160
02 0201 0501 — 0512

 Loop Components — Address Ranges
In Eltek’s fire alarm system all loop components (detectors, manual call points,
Zone Monitors, DIO units, etc.) are connected to the control panel’s detector loops.
Every addressable loop component in a fire alarm network must be coded with a
unique address in a random sequence. The control panel must be configured with
the total number of loop components connected each detector loop and the address
numbers not used in the sequence (not present).
For example, say that you have coded 5 detectors with addresses 06, 01, 02, 04 and
03 and connected them to loop 20. Then you will have to configure the control
panel so that loop 20 has a total of 5 detectors and then configure address 05 on
loop 20 as "not present".
Eltek’s fire alarm system has the following address ranges for the loop components
on the detector loop:
Number of Components on Detector Loops (max.)
DELTA DA & Compact ANX95 ANX95E
Number of loops in the network 255 255 255
Detector loop’s address range for 01 — 126 01 → 99 01 → 99

ANX95E
The unique address of a loop component consists of an address number in which
the first two digits indicate the loop number the component is connected to and the
remaining digits are the component’s address number on the loop.
For example: address number ‘0526’ is the complete address of a loop component
coded with address ‘26’ and connected to detector loop ‘05’.
Another example: the complete address of output no. 3 on a DIO unit can be
‘210.125.3’ if the unit is coded with the address ‘125’ and is linked to detector loop
‘210’.

 Key-Entry for Numbers Above 99
Some of Eltek’s fire alarm systems use hexadecimal figures (just two digits) to
show and refer to the system unit’s numbers, loop component’s numbers and fire
zone numbers.9
If you have to program one of these fire systems10 with numbers higher than 99, for
example ‘system unit 140’ or ‘detector address 120’ or ‘fire zone 200’, you have to
use hexadecimal digits from ‘00’ to ‘FE’, (corresponding to ‘00’ to ‘254’ in the
decimal system).
