OLYMPIA BS-304 Gas Detection Panel

Product Information

The BS-3XX panel series are gas detection panels manufactured by Olympia Electronics. These panels come in four different models: BS-304, BS-308, BS-312, and BS-316. They are designed to support up to 16 inputs for gas detection. Each input can be connected to a single gas detector with a 4-20 mA output.

The panel features a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a series of indication LEDs that provide information about its status. The LEDs include the General Alarm indicator (red), Disable Point indicator (yellow), Test indicator (yellow), General Fault indicator (yellow), Power indicator (green), and Fault Battery indicator (yellow).

The panel also has different access levels, with Level 1 offering two functions. Pressing key number 1 silences the internal buzzer in the event of an Alarm or Fault condition. Pressing key number 2 (lamp test) conducts a sequential LED and Display test when the panel is in standby mode.

The LCD screen displays various information about the system, including the panel name, technician information, and the condition of each sensor input.

Operation instructions

Thank you for purchasing this product of Olympia Electronics. A European manufacturer.
This section contains general information and information regarding the use of the panel. All users of the panel should read these instructions very carefully in order to be able to act in the event of an alarm or a fault condition.

Description
The BS-3XX panel series are gas detection panels with 4, 8, 12 or 16 inputs. On each input it can be connected only one gas detector 4-20 mA.

Indications and Controls
The panel incorporates one liquid crystal display (LCD) and a series of indication LEDs that informs the user about its status. The indication LEDs give general information (i.e. if an alarm becomes true, then the general alarm indicator LED will turned ON.) and on display appears information about each event ( i.e. Alarm sensor 1,that means alarm from sensor 1) .

Under the display there are 6 buttons for controlling the panel. On each button there is a number 1-6 and corresponds to the functions left, right, up, down, enter, escape (exit or one step back). Generally by pushing a button one action happens immediately or one menu appears with some functions. Inside the menu the buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 operate as dimension buttons and we can move inside the menu, the button 5 (enter) to select and button 6 (esc) to come back. During the next pages we will refer to the buttons using the corresponding numbers.

All LEDs are grouped for easier indication. In detail the LEDs show the following:

General Alarm (RED)   General Fault (Yellow)
General alarm indicator Lights in the event of a Fault

Disable Point (Yellow)|  | Power (Green)
Lights to show a disabled inputs| General operation indicator of the panel
 |
Test (Yellow)| Fault Battery (Yellow)
Lights to show that we are in TEST mode| Lights to show a battery problem

Access level

This level contains 2 functions that can be implemented by pressing a single key.

  • In the event of an Alarm or Fault condition, if the key number (1) is pressed then the internal buzzer is silenced. For as long as the event is in effect the internal buzzer sounds once in every 30 seconds. Should the panel see a new event in this state then the buzzer will start to sound continuously.
  • When the panel is in standby mode (no alarm or fault events have occurred) then if the key number (2) (lamp test) is pressed the system conducts a sequential LED and Display test.

When the system is in quiescence state, the lcd screen shows info about the system. The below screen shows some information about the system

The below screen shows the panel name and the technician information.

The next screen shows the condition of each sensor (input)

The sensors 4-20mA incorporates the current have the next situations:

  • FAULT – (<1 mA)
  • UNDERFLOW (from 1 to 3.5 mA)
  • NORMAL (from 3.5 to 21 mA) inside these limits we can do the setup of alarm 1, alarm 2 and alarm
  • OVERFLOW (from 21 to 24mA)
  • FAULT+ (24mA and Higher).
    There is the disable situation (ΝΟ CONFIGURATION)

In case alarm or fault the LCD display shows the corresponding message.

Useful notes to setup the panel
For the correct mounting and setup of the panel, the user must do some basic steps:

  1. First of all, the technician has to design the schematic which includes the way of installation of the panel and the devices, the length of the cable and the point where the device is connected. This diagram will be useful for the fault detection (short-circuits, alarms and faults).
  2. The user disables all the system.
  3. Next the user configures the sensors and the inputs.
  4. When finished the user enables the inputs that are required.
  5. The panel must be isolated from the main power supply when we install the sensors. After all connections are finished, the power to the panel is restored.
  6. Leave the panel working for about 20 minutes without cutting off the power supply. Check the current of every sensor. The current must not be over 4mA. If it isn’t, wait about 1 hour and then re-check. If the current of the sensor is not about 4mA, then perhaps the sensor needs setup.
  7. If there is one short circuit in the power supply of a sensor (terminals +,-) for a moment, the panel shows a fault. To clear the fault first we have to correct the short circuit and then to reset the panel via the keyboard.

In case there is a fault you must check point to point, which is out of communication.
