FireVibes EWT100 Fire Detection and Alarm Wireless System Instruction Manual

FireVibes EWT100 Fire Detection and Alarm Wireless System

FireVibes is a wireless system for fire safety installations, ideal for those installations that prove difficult for the laying of cables or the connection of devices. The protocol translator, which connects to and is powered directly from the loop set to Inim protocol, allows communication with up to 128 wireless devices. This can be either direct or through repeater modules (expansions). The expansions make it possible to extend the signal range and to create a redundant network, that is a network that offers alternative routes in the event of the loss of a node. Wireless communication is based on two-way dual channel technology capable of guaranteeing a distance of up to 200 meters between translators/expansions and devices (“field communication”) and up to 1000 meters between translators and expansions (“infrastructure communication”). The range of wireless devices available includes optical smoke detectors,heat detectors, optical/heat detectors, alarm buttons (call points), input modules and sounders.

Communication channels

60 communication channels available. These are divided into infrastructure channels, used for communication between translator and expansions (8 pairs), and field channels for communication with field devices (22 pairs). These channels ensure data transmission and do not interfere with external wireless transmissions. This structure permits the scalable architecture of the installation which is thus easily expandable.

Double transmission channel
The FireVibes system has a redundancy due to a double transmission channel. The dual channel is guaranteed for each translator, expansion or field device. If a channel blocks, it is promptly replaced by another, guaranteeing the completeness of the transmission.

Transmission route search
The communication between the expansions consists of automatically defined and tested routes starting from the first commissioning. This communication is based on a redundant “mesh” network. If transmission with an expander fails, the system maintains continuity by using an alternate route

Optimized infrastructure transmission
The technology of finding the best communication route between the expansions allows to cover transmission inside large buildings. The adopted transmission routes can pass from one expansion to another up to a maximum of 8 steps. The supplied antennas are guaranteed to perform in different frequencies and environments.

Optimized consumption
FireVibes uses a synchronized communication protocol for both infrastructure and field devices. This allows fast direct fast responses from input devices (detectors, alarm buttons (call points), input modules) and output devices (soumders, flashers) with reduced consumption.

Translators and expansion boards

EWT100 – Translator from Inim loop to wireless devices

Translator from loop (Inim protocol) to devices via FireVibes wireless. The translator is recognized on the loop as an Inim-addressed device and, in addition to its own address, occupies an address for each wireless device associated with it. The translator can manage directly up to a maximum of 32 wireless devices or, by adding XWT100 expansion modules, up to a maximum of 128 wireless devices. The translator is powered by the loop or by a local power source by connecting a 24V power supply to the local power terminals.

Expansions automatically manage redundant routes, so that if one expansion in the chain should fail, communication can still find an alternate route. Redundant routes are identified and tested during system commissioning for maximum reliability. All expansions are monitored to ensure that the highest levels of safety are maintained. The module is powered by a voltage of 24V.
