Fire Alarm & Extinguishing Systems - 121
Cerberus & Siemens
Siemens has been involved in fire alarm and extinguishing systems for
over 160 years. Cerberus invented the automatic smoke detector in 1941;
we have been doing reliable smoke detection longer than anybody else
and are a trend setter in detection technology. We employ over 450 people
in R&D and have experience of over 60 million detectors installed around
the world. Our products are reliable and will always be manufactured and
supported for over 20 years. They will always be backward and forward
compatible with whatever technology we bring out in the future ensuring
the customers’ investment is well protected for the long term.
Siemens Equipment Range
Digital Addressable Systems
This type of system improves collective systems by using loop wiring,
device isolators and software programming to increase reliability and
provide individual identification of devices in alarm, fault or detector status. Highly robust behaviour, therefore very suitable for applications with
In addition to the ‘normal’, ‘fire’ or ‘fault’ status, the system is capable of
identifying detectors that require maintenance and the status of every unit.
This enables optimum service intervals and reduces periodic checks.
Siemens Cerberus PRO™ Fire Detection System
Siemens Cerberus PRO™ is a unique fire detection system consisting of
panels ranging from simple 1 loop to powerful 28 loops to meet all
applications from the same system. It can be networked to provide a
seamless system with up to 64 panels - all certified to EN54-13. It provides
normal detectors for standard applications and ASA smoke detectors for
the most demanding of environments. With ASAtechnology™ (Advanced
Signal Analysis) reliable smoke detection can now be achieved where
previously only heat detectors would be suitable.
Siemens Cerberus PRO™ Equipment Range
Includes FC720 Control Panels, neural ASA fire detectors, wide spectrum
smoke detectors, linear smoke detectors, heat detectors, infrared flame
detectors, aspirating smoke detectors and SWING wireless detection.
Voice Evacuation Systems
The Siemens E100 VA System is a digital voice actuated alarm and
evacuation system, available as a stand-alone model or fully networked
and integrated to the fire alarm system. European standards recognise
that voice evacuation is an integral part of fire detection and needs to be
treated with the same high standards.
E100 complies fully with EN60849: electro-acoustical emergency warning
systems and EN54-16 components for voice-actuated alarms in fire alarm
systems and voice-actuated alarm centres.
Graphical Management Package
Siemens MM8000 is a professional danger management and monitoring
system for integrating security and safety systems, providing event history
and analytical reports. It can be configured to provide text only display of
the entire subsystems or full graphical representation of protected areas.
Current Fire Detection Standards
All components of the Cerberus PRO System fully comply and are certified
by VdS or LPCB for CPR (Construction Product Regulation) introduced
from 1st July 2013.

ASA™ Smoke Detectors Application Guide
High Suppression PS8
Specifically developed for dance floors in discotheques, live venues and
theatres. Requires a relatively small change in temperature of 8K in
addition to an alarm signal from the optical chamber to create an alarm.
Provides a much faster response than switching to pure thermal detection.
Enhanced safety at critical times where visibility is reduced and large
numbers of people are in attendance. Complies with the norm EN54-5.
Suppression PS5
Highly robust behaviour, therefore very suitable for applications with
deceptive phenomena such as steam, heavy cigarette smoke or exhaust
gases. At the same time the detector reacts with the ASA parameter set
quickly and reliably in case of a real fire due to the dynamic influencing
of the parameters. Complies with the norms EN54-5 and EN54-7. For use
in kitchens and production areas with operational related deceptive
phenomena.
Suppression CO PS12
deceptive phenomena such as steam, heavy cigarette smoke or exhaust
gases. At the same time the detector reacts with the ASA parameter set
quickly and reliably in case of a real fire due to the dynamic influencing
of the parameters. Sensitivity is influenced by the CO concentration.
Separate CO alarming and control for the detection of unhealthy or
dangerous carbon monoxide build up. Complies with the norms EN54-5
and EN54-7. For use in kitchens and production areas with operational
related deceptive phenomena.
High Compensation PS7
Identical to the robust setting except the drift compensation is extended.
Especially suited for rooms in which a lot of dust and other deposits are
expected to build up over a period of time such as paper mills, carpenters
workshops, textile production and recycling plants. Complies with the
norms EN54-5 and EN54-7.
Robust PS2
Robust behaviour therefore very suitable for applications with deceptive
phenomena such as cigarette smoke, dust and exhaust gases. At the
same time the detector reacts with the ASA parameter set quickly and
reliably in case of a real fire due to the dynamic influencing of the
parameters. Compared to PS5 this set may be used to improve detection
speed on higher ceilings. Complies with the norms EN54-5 and EN54-7.
For use in event locations, conference rooms, smoking rooms,
gastronomy, industry production and underground garages.
Balanced PS4
For use in normal environments. Balanced response characteristic,
sensitive in the case of fire, robust with deceptive phenomena. Due to its
distinct dynamic the detector reacts quickly to open fires and smouldering
fires according to the definitions of EN54. The ASA parameter set reacts
very robustly to deceptive phenomena such as cigarette smoke or small
amounts of steam. Often used when system is unmanned mode e.g. at
night. Complies with the norms EN54-5 and EN54-7. For use in open plan
offices, hallways, hotel rooms, out of hours use in harsh environments.
Balanced CO PS10
Using the criteria smoke, heat and CO the device is more sensitive to
fires creating CO than PS4 without the CO signal. This parameter set is
robust with deceptive phenomena such as cigarette smoke or small
amounts of steam. It also offers early alarming in the event of fires
generating a large amount of CO such as mattress fires. Complies with
the norms EN54-5 and EN54-7. Same applications as with PS4 but with
higher robustness against deceptive phenomena.
Fast Response PS6
This parameter set reacts in a fast and highly sensitive manner. It is
especially suited for rooms without deceptive phenomena where the
priority is on detecting fire as early as possible and is an excellent
replacement for ionisation detectors. For use in high ceilinged rooms,
storage rooms, warehouses with highly flammable material, IT rooms,
control of extinguishing systems. Complies with the norms EN54-5 and
EN54-7.
High Sensitive Fast PS9
This parameter set allows for the fastest possible detection for both open
and smouldering fires. It is intended for use in clean applications with no
deceptive phenomena such as hospital rooms, museums, operating
rooms, rooms with high ceilings where high sensitive detection is of great
importance. Complies with the norms EN54-5 and EN54-7.
