8 NANO
In addition to the NANO intended for land-based installations, a NANO version is available with a DNV-CG Type Approval in accordance with the 0339-2021 standard. This NANO system consists of two components. The basis is formed by the NANO control panel which is placed on the bridge or in its vicinity. Then there is an extinguisher terminal box (ETB). This ETB box must be placed outside, but in the immediate vicinity of the to protected engine room. ETB/L is suitable for an extinguisher igniting actuator with a maximum resistance of 2Ω. The ETB/H is suitable for an extinguisher igniting actuator with a maximum resistance of 4Ω. From the ETB box a cable led to the aerosol extinguisher installed in the volume to be protected. The cable connection between the NANO control panel and the fire extinguisher ETB is continuously scanned for faults, such as short circuit or cable break. From the extinguishers terminal box (ETB) to the extinguishers igniter is also constantly monitored for fault or malfunction. In a marine application, it is NOT common that a fire suppression system intended for an engine room protection is released by an automatic fire detector. However, the NANO has two fire alarm zones suitable for connecting marine approved fire detectors such as the Apollo Orbis Marine series fire detectors. The NANO system can be set up that fire alarms from these fire detectors, signalized on the NANO panel, considered as informative only. They don’t have effect on the extinguishing system, nor activate the extinguishing system. By default, the NANO is set to only manual release, but can be changed to automatic & manual mode.
9 FEATURES NANO
9.1 ACOUSTIC ALARM
The NANO has an internal attention signal and a monitored output for external sounder/beacon.
9.2 EXTINGUISHANT RELEASE OUTPUT
The N2KB NANO is equipped with two activation techniques for the activation of fire extinguishing systems.

9.4 COMMUNICATION PORT
The NANO has a Modbus network connection. Modbus enables communication among devices connected to the same network.
9.5 DIRECT RELEASE
When the timer settings are set to a delay (between 10 – 35 seconds), the direct extinguish DIP switch gives the choose to override the delay in case of a fire event. This function can be selected via DP1.
9.6 VEHICLE MODE
If the extinguishing system is intended for the protection of a vehicle engine bay, then a programmed extinguishing delay must be disabled, when the vehicle is parked, and the driver leaves the vehicle. Please note that the vehicle mode does not work in the only manual mode.
9.7 GENERAL FAULT RELAY
The general fault relay signals any fault in the NANO. The general fault relay is energized in quiescent state. In the event of a complete power failure, the general fault relay becomes inactive. This is failsafe condition of the NANO panel.
9.8 VFC FIRE RELAY ACTIVE IN SINGLE OF DUAL MODE ALARM
A single or dual FIRE indication can trigger the VFC relay. You can choice to have the potential free contact active at the first or at the second fire alarm. This function can be selected via dip switch 5.
9.9 SINGLE OR DUAL ZONE
Usually, the extinguishing system is activated in the so-called two group- dependent status (avoiding coincidence). Two fire conditions must be met before an extinguishing activation be initiated. In some cases, a single mode status can be handy. This function can be selected via DIP switch 4.
9.10 EXTINGUISHANT RELEASE DELAY
Extinguishing delay is only useful in normally occupied spaces. For the delay timer settings, there are 3 Dip Switches 6,7 and 8, which can be set in steps of 5 seconds the delay time between 0 and 35 sec.
10 INPUTS
The NANO is equipped with two detection zones and two external button inputs (Extinguishing Release & Hold). These inputs are continuously scanned for alarm or fault detection. All inputs are monitored and require a 10 kΩ end of line resistor, even if the input is not used. The button inputs must have a trigger resistor between 470 and 1000 Ω.
10.1 DETECTION ZONES
The NANO is equipped with two fire detection zone inputs. The loop inputs are continuously scanned for fire or fault detection. The loops are set to the following values:
- RESISTANCE of less than 100 Ω: FAULT
- RESISTANCE of more than 100 Ω and less than 1,5 kΩ: FIRE
- RESISTANCE of more than 1,5 kΩ and less than 8 kΩ: FAULT
- RESISTANCE of more than 8 kΩ and less than 12 kΩ: NORMAL
- RESISTANCE of more than 12 kΩ: FAULT

12.5 AUTOMATIC & MANUAL RELEASE OR MANUAL ONLY MODE
The mode of the system can be toggled between Manual Only and Automatic & Manual by operating the MODE push button on the NANO. When the system is in Manual Only mode, the extinguishant cannot be released by the operation of automatic detectors. To switch the system from manual only to automatic & manual, press the MODE push button for 3 seconds. Return, press the MODE again.
12.6 EXTINGUISHING RELEASE
When a fire emerges, press both front extinguishing release push buttons, this will trigger an alarm. The fire extinguishers will be released, depending on the DIP switch (time) settings.
13 LED INDICATORS
The NANO has 3 internal and 14 front LED indicators. Under normal condition only the green Power LED and either the Manual Only or Automatic and Manual LED lite.
13.1 MANUAL RELEASE ONLY
The yellow LED manual only lit the extinguishant will not be released by automatic detection.
13.2 AUTOMATIC & MANUAL RELEASE
The yellow LED automatic & manual lit. The extinguishant will be released by automatic detection and manual release button.
13.3 POWER
Under normal conditions the NANO control panel will have only the green power on LED lit and either the manual only or automatic & manual LED lit. Failure of the mains power or disconnection of the backup power will cause a fault. The power LED lite differently, indicating an abnormality in the power supply to the NANO. When starting the NANO after a power failure or an extinguishers release, the green power LED flashes for maximal 1 minute until the system is ready and this LED lit continuously.
If the mains power supply is NOT present, the power LED flashes 1 x per second and the yellow general fault LED lit. If the standby power supply is NOT present, the power LED flashes 2 x per second followed by a pause of 1 second, then repeating, the general fault and internal battery fault LED lit.
When the vehicle function (DP2) is enabled, the green power LED flashes at 1 x per second when vehicle is parked and switch to the secondary vehicle voltage.
13.4 COMMON FIRE
In the event of a fire alarm from either the fire alarm detectors or the operation of the extinguishant release pushbuttons, the red general fire LED will illuminate.
13.5 FIRE ZONE ALARM
Upon receipt a fire alarm condition caused by the activation of a fire detector, the red alarm indicator of the relevant fire alarm zone will flash.
13.6 Extinguishing released
The red extinguishing released indicator lights continuously when the extinguishers are activated. This extinguishing release indicator lights up after ending of the configured extinguishing delay time, or when the two extinguishing release buttons on the front or the external release button is activated.
13.7 EXTINGUISHING DELAY
The red extinguishing delay indicator indicates that the extinguishing release delay is active. This indicator flash when the delay time is running.
13.8 GENERAL FAULT
General fault indicator lights and specific fault indicators flash. This yellow fault indicator will light continuously at any fault condition or power malfunction.
13.9 FIRE ZONE FAULT
When the NANO has detected an error in one of the critical fire detection paths of the system, the specific yellow zone fault indicator flash and the general fault indicator lights up.
13.10 EXTINGUISHING RELEASE HOLD
The yellow hold indicator flash and a different tone sounds as long the hold button on the panel front, or the external hold button is pressed.
13.11 EXTINGUISHING RELEASE FAULT
This yellow indicator lights up continuously when a critical fault is detected (open or short circuit) in the extinguishing output line.
13.12 INTERNAL FAULT INDICATORS
There are three extra yellow fault indicators on the internal electronic PCB, meant for second priority fault messages and these indicators will flash.
14 DIP SWITCHES
14.1 STANDARD SETTING
In a marine application, it is NOT common for a fire suppression system intended for an engine room to be released by an automatic fire detector but ONLY by manual release. The most common Marine setting of the NANO system is based on marine rules and standards. Under normal condition only the green Power LED and the Manual Only LED lite to indicate the system is operating correctly.
Example setting for a vessel’s engine room:
- The extinguishing delay time 20 seconds
- The NANO operate in the manual mode only
- The use of automatic fire detectors is only informative
14.2 DIRECT RELEASE (DP1)
If a fire alarm is detected, by the automatic fire detectors the countdown timer is started, you can override the timer when press the manual release.
14.3 VEHICLE MODE (DP2)
If the extinguishing system is intended to protect the engine bay of a vehicle, a programmed extinguishing delay must be disabled when the vehicle is parked.
14.4 EXTINGUISHING RELEASE OUTPUT (DP3)
The N2KB NANO is equipped with two activation techniques for the activation of fire extinguishing systems. Standard the NANO is programmed for the activation of electrical igniters from aerosol fire extinguisher units. When DIP is set in the ON position, the NANO is suitable for activate an extinguishing system using a solenoid. Don’t use DP3 ON in combination with an ETB it will damage the NANO.
14.5 SINGLE OR DUAL FIRE ALARM (DP4)
Normally we activate in dual fire zone mode. In some cases, a single mode may be useful. In dual mode, the extinguisher(s) are released after an alarm condition in both fire zones. In single mode, when only one fire zone is in alarm.
14.6 VFC RELAY (DP5)
Here one has a choice to have the relay active at the first fire alarm or after the second fire alarm.
14.7 EXTINGUISHING DELAY TIMER (DP6-7-8)
Extinguishing delay is only useful in normally occupied spaces. For the extinguishing delay timer setting, there are 3 DIP switches, which that can be set between 0 and 35 seconds, with steps of 5 seconds. The count-down timer is used to wait a certain amount of time before extinguisher system is activated.

17 CONNECTING USING THE EXTINGUISHER TERMINAL BOARD (ETB)
The ETB is developed for use with the NANO and aerosol extinguishers. This terminal connection board is equipped with built-in security electronics, which ensures that all igniters of the extinguishing units are activated. Together with an end line switch, this option turns the NANO system into a complete and reliable fire detection and extinguishing system.
WARNING
Incorrect placement of the end line switch makes it possible to disable a part of the extinguisher’s activation circuit. Therefore, a visual inspection is an essential part of the commissioning and maintenance engineers work.
-
DISCONNECT EXTINGHUISHER
Move the disconnect switch in the YES position and the aerosol extinguisher is disabled and can not be activated. All ETB’s connected thereafter will remain in operation. A disablement will be signalized as fault on the NANO. -
ENABLE END OF LINE DIODE
To monitor for short circuit or wire break, only the end of line switch on the last ETB must be set into the YES position. A failure to do so will be signalized as a fault on the NANO panel.
18 WIRING DIAGRAM OF THE NANO MEANT FOR SOLENOID SYSTEM
In addition to a fire extinguishing output for electric igniters meant for aerosol fire extinguishing generators, the NANO also has an extinguishing output suitable for a solenoid-controlled fire extinguishing system. The extinguishant output is capable of supplying up to 1 Amp for the maximum duration to a solenoid. Solenoids must have a resistance of 25 to 200 ohms 18/28V DC, to ensure that the maximum current rating of the extinguishant output is not exceeded. The maximum cable impedance is 1.5Ω-5.0Ω depending on the coil impedance. Despite the presence of a button on the NANO front for manual extinguishing activation only, we do recommend a maintenance key switch in the extinguishing output line to perform test and maintenance work without activating the system.
