Are MA-223 Fire and Smoke Damper Actuators still available?

Issue Do we have a replacement for the Fire Rated Damper Actuator: Make: Siebe Environmental Controls Part No: MA – 223   Environment Fire Rated Smoke actuators MA-223-0-2 Cause Siebe Fire/ Smoke rated damper actuators are all obsolete. Resolution Schneider Electric no longer manufacture any fire and smoke actuators so the MA-223 range are obsolete with no replacement. The only suggestion we can offer is for the customer to contact the damper manufacturer that this actuator is mounted on and see what they would use to replace the actuator. We only sold these fire/smoke rated actuators directly to the damper manufacturers.

European Intrusion Certification

Issue Intrusion Alarm System for TAC I/NET Building Automation Systems Environment I/NET Site using Intrusion Alarm System for TAC I/NET Building Automation Systems Cause Certification Requests Certification Requests including Grade 3 Resolution The I/NET Access Control security products are certified and Listed under Underwriters Laboratories standard UL294. We do not have certification with NSI or SSAIB. Reference to NSI and SSAIB suggest a probable European security application. If that is the case, the application may be a candidate for our recently released TAC I/NET security products listed below - ICPB - Intrusion Control Panel Base ICPE - Intrusion Control Panel Expander ICPD - Intrusion Control Panel Distributed OP5 - Operator Terminal The above system panels were certified to the European Security System Standard EN50131 and the Swedish standard SSF1014 by - SP Sveriges Tekniska Forskningsinstitut SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden Box 857, SE-501 15 Borås, Sweden Tel: +46 (0)10 516 50 00 Telefax: +46 (0)33 12 50 38 Internet: www.sp.se The Security system panels and their functional performance were tested and certified to the following standards - EN50131-3:2009 Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems - Part 3: Control and indicating equipment EN50131-6:2008 Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems - Part 6: Power supplies The above two standards are used to test/evaluate intrusion systems for compliance with EN50131-1 SSF1014:2005 System components – Intruder Alarm Systems Requirements and test methods EN60950-1:2001+A11:2004 Information technology equipment - Safety EN61000-6-3:20007 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Generic Standards - Emission standard EN50130-4:1996/A1:1998/A2:2003 - Electromagnetic Compatibility - Product family standard: Immunity requirements for components of fire, intruder and social alarm systems. The TAC I/NET EN50131 compliant system is documented in TCON314 Installation Manual and TCON315 operators Manual. The security system detailed above was certified and registered with the organization - SBSC SBSC is Sweden’s leading organization for certifying companies, products, management processes and personnel within fire protection and crime prevention. This is covered under SBSC Certificate number 10-523 (copy available at link provided) PA-00148 Vista Security Intrusion Certification.

Netcontroller IO Module Bus Voltages

Issue What are the expected voltages on the RS485 IO Module bus? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Netcontroller IO Modules IOU Modules Cause Require typical values for troubleshooting first steps. Resolution Although the IO Module bus uses RS485 comms similar to Infinet or BACnet MSTP, the typical bus voltages when measured with a voltmeter are usually lower. Exact voltages will vary from system to system and depend on the amount of bus activity at the time, but the following will allow general troubleshooting: Typical DC voltage measured across the bus + to - = 0.7 to 0.8VDC but working systems may read as low as 0.4VDC Typical DC voltage measured Screen (shield) to + = 0.6 VDC Typical DC voltage measured Screen (shield) to - = 1.3VDC Note: If using Free Topology (FTT-10A) controller and modules, these use transformer bus coupling and will measure 0VDC across the bus.

Sigma - Can the Alarm Manager on a Remote client be configured differently, to the Local client.

Issue Alarm Manager configuration. Environment Alarm Manager Configuration Cause A different configuration of alarms is required on a Remote Sigma client. Resolution The Alarm Manager is shared by both the local and remote Sigma clients, therefore any changes in configuration effect both clients. If there is a requirement to send different alarms to the local and remote Sigma clients, then this is achieved using Routesets, which are allocated to the individual object alarms.
