System Overview
The system overview illustrates the connectivity of various detector lines and components to the Siemens fire control panel. Detector lines include Cerberus 110-series, AlgoRex DS110x, Synova 600, Synova 300, and lines conforming to BS 5839 Pt1. It also shows connections for call points, mixed lines (detector/call point differentiation), and intrinsically safe detectors (via DC1192 and safety barrier SB3). The panel provides outputs for monitored control lines (for horns, sirens, beacons), fire controls (internal relays), and remote transmission (internal contact).
