SIEMENS CERBERUS FIT IS A PERFECT SOLUTION ENABLING SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY FOR MOST APPLICATIONS... Cerberus FIT – protecting smaller premises
S maller properties such as shops, offices, care homes and smaller commercial buildings still require a fire detection and alarm system. Often these are very simple “one out all out” systems and very often use conventional technology whereby only the area of detection is indicated and not the exact device location. However, the costs of addressable systems are now at a point where their advantages regarding device identification, reduced cabling costs, enhanced safety and increased flexibility make them the go-to product. Isolators Perceived complexity remains a blocker for some though and this is where Cerberus FIT offers a perfect solution. Isolators in every device enable much faster fault finding both during commissioning and over the system’s lifetime. Auto configuration allows a simple system to be operational in seconds and any changes can be implemented using the onboard programming tool. No special leads or licensed software is required.
Programming Occasionally, even small systems require some more complex cause and effect programming. Cerberus FIT enables this with sufficient flexibility to cover most of these applications. Features such as alarm delays, 64 evacuation zones, 32 control zones, sprinkler monitor zones and multiple programmable input/outputs enable more difficult applications such as small apartment blocks or shops within shopping centres to be easily resolved. The onboard programming tool has been designed to be simple to use, with devices listed in a tabular format showing the exact order of wiring. Cause and effect is programmed using a simple matrix exactly as tends to be delivered with the system specification. In addition, a freely available editor programme allows an engineer to practise or confirm a cause and effect before visiting site. Support To further support the product, Siemens has invested in a
unique online training platform where all product documentation, calculation tools and training resources are available. The site also has an ever-growing number of “how to” videos (also available on YouTube). For access to the site, just use the QR code at the end of this article.
