esserbus Transponder

Professional fire detection systems are expected to provide more than reliable fire detection and signaling alarms to the fire brigade. Over time, the continuous progress in technical units has led to many improvements in monitoring and control systems. At the same time the specifications of the European standards are becoming more and more demanding.Essentially the assortment consists of the so-called "alarm transponder" which is used for both the connection of non-addressable detectors (point-type detectors, manual detectors and special detectors) as well as for the operation of conventional alarm signaling devices (signaling devices, signal flasher and combination alarm signaling devices). Monitoring of the lines in accordance with the latest standards is ensured via "EOL modules" (end-of-line modules).The second part is formed by the "FCT" (fire control transponder) and the IQ8TAL being looppowered input and output transponders with a contact input and a floating relay output for monitoring of contacts and transmission of technical alarms for equipment monitoring. These modules with low power consumption are for interfacing to other disciplines which are not a part of the fire detection system itself. Thanks to their intelligent concept they significantly expand the range of monitoring and control functions as part of the building management.Independent on the number of inputs and outputs provided by each individual device the esserbus transponder requires only one loop address.
