•WHAT IS IFDSS
INSTANT FIRE DETECTION &
SUPRESSION SYSTEM
• Microcontroller based.
• Use of IR detectors in crew compartment.
• Linear thermal indicators for fire detection(FIREWIRE).
• Audio-visual fire indicators.
• 2X16 LCD display.
• Total response time is within 150ms.
IFDSS DESCRIPTION
• It Works on CAN protocol.
• Auto/Manual modes of operation.
• Connected to Halon 1301 fire
extinguishers.
• Operation on 24V (dc).
• Installed in MBT-BHISHMA.
CAN PROTOCOL
• Controller area network.
• It is message based protocol .
• Works on priority basis of the controller messages.
• Allows devices to communicate under a single controller.
• Used between Engine Control Unit and other parts of
automobile.

IFDSS MODULES
Consists of following parts:
Main control unit(M.C.U.)
Alarm & Flasher unit(A.F.U.)
IR Detector unit
Fire wire
MAIN CONTROL UNIT(M.C.U.)
• Also called master control unit.
• Brain of the system.
• Dimensions:150mm*130mm*80mm(±1mm)
• Weight: 1800gm±50gm.
• Enclosure: Aluminium alloy with powder coated red
colour
ALARM & FLASHER UNIT
•Audio-visual signal in case of overheat/fire.
•Input supply voltage:24V DC
•Alarm output: 90dB(min) for speakers at 30 cms.
50 flashes/min. for flasher LED.
• LED size: 10mm red colour.
•Speaker: 4Ω/8Ω speaker.
•Weight:730gm±30gm.
IR DETECTOR UNIT
• Comprises of 2 narrow band sensors:
near infrared
far infrared
• Interfacing through CAN with M.C.U.
• Input voltage:3.3V DC
• Response time:≤20ms
• Enclosure is same as M.C.U.
• Weight:125 gm±20 gm
• Dimension: 68mm* 61mm* 33mm(±1mm)
FIRE WIRE
• Pair of fire wire or linear thermal detectors
are used in engine compartment.
• Monitor the compartment temperature.
• Element length: 6100±3mm(20 feet).
• Element diameter: 2mm
• Material used: slim stainless steel tube
with coaxial temperature sensitive
semiconductor.
• Temperature characteristics: negative
temperature coefficient type.
• Normal temperature:90ºC & Critical
temperature:120ºC
WORKING
• The M.C.U. activates at 24V dc supply.
• It relays this voltage to the fire wire.
• Two condition- overheat and fire condition
• When overheat condition (120ºC+10ºC) is
reached the fire wire voltage drops.
• This result in drop of the total circuit voltage.
• This drop is detected by the RS485 IC which
relays a differential voltage of 12V and 3.3V
• At this voltage the crew section of engine is
programmed for auto shut down.
FIRE CONDITION
If resistance falls below the preset conditions
(140ºC+10ºC):
• The RS485 IC supplies a voltage of 3.3V.
• At this voltage the extinguishers activate.
• The engine is shut down automatically.
• The audio visual alarm is permanently active.
• Then fire extinguishers become active
CONCLUSION
• IFDSS is a better and improved version of
IFSS used in MBT Arjun
tank.
• Gives false alarm free operation.
• Self Re-Setting
• Data logging facility is available
