The alarm is raised by activating strategically located individual vandal resistant call points. The General Alarm System is monitored and controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to ensure operational reliability. All events are auditable on a central control PC software [Protec Event Logging System (ELS)] which records the operation of the General Alarm equipment. Control Panels are normally installed in secure locations (i.e. Plant Rooms, Roof Voids) and are used to monitor and control all the functions of the local general alarm system. Protec s range of General Alarm PLC units have been designed to comply with the latest MOJ technical specification to provide reliable, cost effective yet robust solution to suit most prison and custody cell applications.

5 4.0 Overview The Protec range of Control Panels use the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) type of systems. The PLC units are enclosed within a rugged steel enclosure, finished in a RAL6018 (yellow/green) colour. All the essential components of the control panel are protected from unauthorised access by a hinged lockable steel door, which comes complete with tamper contacts as standard. The size of Control Panel and the associated Indicator Panel is generally determined by the number of general alarm zones required per building (typically 1No call point equals 1No zone). Key Features MOJ Compliant Monitors all General Alarm Call Points Indicator Panels; Available in 20, 40 and 60 Way Options Alarm Reset & Lamp Test Buttons Alarm, Power, Fault Twin Chip LED Indication Internal Audible Alarm Repeat Indictor Panel; LED indication Only (No controls) Units Available Local Audible and Visual Alarms Stand-Alone or Network Options Rugged Lockable Steel Enclosure Tamper and Fault Monitored Technical Features The PLC units require a 24V dc supply, provided by a separate battery charger, mounted adjacent to the control panel. The general alarm zone are typically a normally closed push button with inbuilt tamper switch. Each general alarm zone and each alarm circuit (s) are all hard-wired back to the Control Panel, generally using LSF cable. Each input terminal, which are used for the general alarm zones are pre-wired to provide a corresponding output contact, which are used to drive the Indicator Panel LED. The separate alarm output circuit contacts are to drive beacons or/and sounders. The Indicator and Repeat Indicator Panels are also hard-wired back to the Control Panel via LSF multicore cable. All Indicator and Repeat Indicator panels are low voltage devices (24V dc), with their supply voltage being provided via a multicore serial link cable wired direct from the PLC Control Panel.

6 5.0 General Alarm terminology General Alarm Call Points Vandal resistant Call Point when pressed activates a general alarm. The call points are individual strategically located in the building for the most effective response to incidents. Each call point is fitted with a tamper switch and a circular shroud around the push button to prevent inadvertent operation. Local Control Unit Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) controlling the local operations of all external call points and local indication panel. Serial data and hardwire cross-site signal to the central control panel. Local Indication Panel Wing-based indicators provide local audible and visual annunciation of alarms. Including the means of resetting the local alarm. Local indications panels either 20way, 40way or 60way alarm indication. Central Control Unit Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) controlling the operations of all terminated hardwire signals from local control units and central indication panel. Monitors serial data from local controls units, connecting direct to the control room PC software: ELS. Maximum of 60 hardware contacts from the local control units and/or capable of monitoring additional local call points. Central Indication Panel Control room based indication provide audible and visual annunciation of the alarm/s at the local panel and additional local call points. Including the means of resetting the active alarms provide initially reset on the local indication panel unless resetting additional call points. Central indication panels are 60way alarm indication. Event Logging System All system events are recorded by a PC based auditable data system the Event Logging System (ELS). Provides an external reset function additional to the reset on the central indication panel. Reference ELS User Manual document. Tamper alarm Reset Lamp Test Alarm output devices An alarm raised to notify that the general alarm equipment has been opened or tampered by an unauthorised person; either a call point, local/central control unit, local/central indication panels, local/central power supply units. Call points are individually tamper monitored generating a fault within 20secs. The general alarm when authorised can be locally reset via the push button on the local indication panels and secondary reset via the push button on the central indication panel or Event Logging System PC software. The lamp test push button switch located on each indication panel (local and central) when pressed illuminates all LEDs and audible buzzer for 3 secs to ensure the LEDs and buzzer are operating correctly. The alarm output devices can either be visual (beacons) or audible (sounders) installed alongside general alarm call points. To assist an officer in quickly locating the origin of an alarm. The outputs can be programmed to operate until reset or only while the general alarm call point button is pressed. N Issue 0 Page 6 of 19 Protec Fire Detection plc 2016

7 6.0 System Operation When an officer/inmate requires emergency assistance, an alarm is raised by pressing the general alarm call point push button. Once pressed and released, the button returns to its normal position. If the call point front plate is removed (the inbuilt tamper activates) or there is short circuit on the cable the relevant zone on the local display panel will be activated. Upon activation of a general alarm call point the call is logged by the PLC Control Panel, the unit is then programmed to drive the associated zonal LED on the Indicator and Repeat Indicator panels and activate any local audible and visual alarms. Where the system forms part of a site wide network, upon the activation of an alarm a hard-wired and a data signal are transmitted across the site to both the Central Control PLC and the Event Logging PC unit via the cross-site cabling infrastructure. Once the event has been dealt with and the system has been reset via the local reset button, the Control Panel will return to its normal operating mode. A signal will then be sent via both the hard-wired and data cross-site cabling infrastructure to reset the Central Control PLC and log the time & date on the event log. 6.1 System normal No general alarms activations or tampers, power supply healthy.
