What is S3?
Safety System Software (S3) is a complete, high performance Human
Machine Interface software package that is designed to work seamlessly
with a variety of Safety Systems including all three generations of the
Detector Electronics “Eagle ” addressable systems. It allows data to be
acquired from these systems for event and alarm tracking, display on custom graphics, and to be shared with other systems.
When used as an Operator Interface Station (OIS) it also allows commands to be sent to attached systems to perform a variety of functions.
S3 also provides convenient and accurate device configuration, programming and diagnostic tools.
There are no cumbersome keyboard commands for the operator to learn.
The entire interface is graphic in nature. Onscreen point and click icons
allow convenient navigation through the application with easy access to
the various features.
The S3 database contains all of the information needed to allow for easy
and accurate configuration. All pertinent information for the device
being configured including user selectable options is displayed on an
easy to understand “point configuration screen”. From this screen the
configuration can be viewed and changes can be made as desired.
Pre-configured “Point Display Screens” present data for complex networked devices as well as conventional ones in a consolidated and easy
to understand format. With Eagle Quantum Premier devices, each node
on the network provides detailed status information, recent alarms and
calibration records.
S3 also provides password protection for up to 64 different user accounts
to keep unauthorized personnel from modifying system configurations,
and thousands of user levels for accessing command and control functions.
In short, S3 collects, tracks, displays and distributes your safety system
information while allowing intuitive operator input for command and
control functions of these safety systems.

Requirements
The minimum S3 workstation hardware requirements are:
Computer. The S3 software suite is designed to run on an Intel® based
computer with at least a 800 MHz Pentium III processor, running
Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional. Although the software can be used with Windows 95/98 and Windows N 4.0, Windows 2000
or Windows XP Professional are the preferred operating systems. As with
many modern programs, the faster the machine, the better the performance.
A hard drive with at least fifty megabytes free and a CD-ROM drive is
also required for installation.
Memory. S3 Safety System Software is a high performance Operator
Interface System (OIS) environment and requires a minimum of 256 MB
of physical memory. When custom graphics are included in a project the
memory footprint grows by 1MB per screen, based on XGA screen resolution, higher resolutions require more memory. Det-Tronics typically provides a minimum of 512MB of physical RAM in its OIS installations.
Display. S3 requires thousands of colors (16 bit) and a minimum display
resolution of 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels high (XGA). Software support for touchscreens is included.
Serial Ports. S3 is designed to utilize up to ten high speed serial ports, all
running at up to 57.6 kbps simultaneously — typically this includes the
two serial ports available on the motherboard of the computer, plus up to
eight additional ports on an expansion card with a serial co-processor.
USB to serial converters are supported.
Ethernet. S3 can communicate with some systems via a single or redundant Ethernet connection. Each network card must have a separate, fixed,
TCP/IP address.
Printers. The system can utilize any properly installed printer for documentation purposes. For on-line alarm monitoring a serial printer port
must be configured through the “Ports” screen, and the appropriate printer
attached. S3 is designed to work with a serial version of the Okidata
ML590 four color, tractor feed, dot matrix printer.

S3 Online Environment
The S3 software suite consists of a number of separate application programs that work together to collect, distribute and display data from a
variety of sources.
At the center of the suite is an application program called the “Data
Collector and Distributor” or “DCD” for short.
DCD
The DCD is the heart of all online operations. It handles all of the OIS
communication processes including serial communications to attached
systems, TCP/IP communication
with attached systems, communication with OPC clients, and
peer-to-peer communications
with other S3 application programs both local and remote.
The DCD can control up to ten
communication ports, either individual serial ports or TCP/IP connections.
It collects data from these ports
to update the tag database in
accordance with the configurations of the individual attached systems.
Other S3 application programs query the DCD to perform their individual
functions such as, updating the active alarm list, generating the alarm history and daily log, providing dynamic data for the online graphics and
servicing remote access requests.
SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
Version 3.1

INSTALLATION
Installation Options
There are three installation options available depending on how the workstation is to be used. They are; Operations, Development, and Demo.
Operations Installation Selection
This installation is designed for
full time Operator Interface
Station (OIS) operations where
the system will be “online”
around the clock and will be
used by operations personnel as
a window into the safety system.
If the “Operations” selection is
used for installation, the system
will be configured as a secure
stand-alone OIS with tight security restrictions installed at the
lowest levels of the operating
system.
The user must be logged into the Windows-NT/2000/XP system as the
“Administrator” in order to install this option.
When the “Operations” installation is used S3 takes complete control of
the workstation and when “Online” access to the operating system will
not be allowed. In addition, access to other application programs or
Windows functions such as “CTL-ALT-DEL”, “ALT-TAB”, etc. will not
be available.
The “Operations” installation also configures the system so that on a loss
of power (or other event that causes a system restart) the OIS will automatically return to its previous state. S3 will automatically restart and if
online prior to the event will return online with the last valid user logged
in as the current user. If not online the station will return to the S3 Main
Screen.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Version 3.1

Development & Demo Installation Selection
Either the “Development” or “Windows 95/98 Demo” installations do not
install the low level security features of the “Operations” version. User
level security is still utilized but full access to the operating system is
available in a manner consistent with the given operating system.
When S3 software is ordered with the OIS computer, the software will
come already loaded on the hard disk of the computer. If S3 software is
ordered separately, if re-installation of the original software becomes necessary, or if a software update is to be installed, use the following procedure.

The purpose for the configuration log is to provide an audit trail for safety related changes to the system. By examining the configuration log you
can tell if tagnames were changed, if alarm setpoints were changed in the
detector configurations, if these changes were downloaded to the system
or not.
The log is formatted in three columns, the first contains the time, the second the date and the third a description of the change.
The change column may use two lines to log the change. In these cases
the first line contains the port number, point number, and tag name. The

The top section, labeled “Ports” provides check boxes for the ten potential ports. “All” is the default, deselecting it will hilite all available ports
for which logs exist.
Eagle devices (2000, Quantum, Premier) store their calibration histories
in local non-volatile memory. Whenever S3 accesses this data it stores it
in a database thus creating a “Log” linked to the port of origin. This happens whenever a point display is accessed, from the configuration environment, or by the DCD when running. In the example above, log information for Explosive, Eclipse and X3301 detectors exist in the database
and a calibration report can be created for this information.

connections should be high speed (10 Mbps or faster) for optimum performance. In a remote access configuration, the DCD of one S3 workstation attached to the safety systems allows multiple S3 remote access
clients to access its information.
To configure an S3 workstation for remote access select “Launch Online
Graphics only.”
In this configuration when the
“Online” button is selected from the
S3 main screen, the local DCD will
not start but the Online Graphics
application will. Once it starts it will
connect to a specified remote DCD
for its data.
The remote DCD must be on the same TCP/IP network and is specified
by entering the appropriate “Host Address” address.
Host Address: Selecting the
“Edit Host Address” button displays the IP Address Editor
allowing the proper Host
address to be set.
This feature allows a local
machine which is connected to
the safety systems to send information to other S3 clients in the
facility or elsewhere.

Backup: Once the project is selected a dialog box will be displayed
allowing you to browse the file system and select a destination for the
backup.
This can be on local hard drives, a
network drive, or the local floppy
disk drive.
Procedure for backing up to a Network Drive: Once the destination is
chosen for backup, the system will
display the “Backup File List” dialog box which displays the files to
backup and the status of the procedure.
The dialog box is formatted with
two columns, the left one containing
the file name, the right one displaying the status of the file.
When the “Continue” button is
selected S3 will begin the backup
process by compressing all of the
files to reduce disk space requirements. This highly efficient compression algorithm allows even large
projects with dozens of custom
graphic pages to be backed up to a
single 1.4MB floppy disk.

Backing up to Floppy Disk: If the “A” drive was selected as the destination, S3 will prompt you
to confirm that the drive is
removable and whether it
should be erased before
copying the project onto it.
In some cases, it may be
desirable to backup more
than one project to the floppy disk(s) in which case
select “No” to the prompt.
In most cases, the disk should be erased and this is the default choice.

OPC SERVER
8-1
OPC Server
S3 is designed to simply and efficiently “integrate” data from a variety of
multi-vendor safety solutions into a common Operator Interface Station
(OIS) where it can be viewed, tracked, and presented to the operator.
We have chosen “OPC” as the mechanism for sharing this concentrated
safety system data with other systems throughout the facility.
Traditionally, each software or application developer was required to
write a custom interface, or server/driver, to exchange data with hardware
field devices. OPC eliminates this requirement by defining a common,
high performance interface that permits this work to be done once, and
then easily reused by HMI, SCADA, Control and custom applications.
What is OPC? OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an industry standard
created with the collaboration of a number a leading worldwide automation and hardware software suppliers working in cooperation with
Microsoft.
The organization that manages this standard is the
OPC Foundation. The Foundation has over 220
members from around the world, including nearly
all of the world's major providers of control systems, instrumentation, and process control systems.
OPC Defined: OPC is based on Microsoft's OLE (now Active X), COM
(Component Object Model) and DCOM (Distributed Component Object
Model) technologies. It consists of a standard set of interfaces, properties, and methods for use in process-control and manufacturing-automation applications.
The Active X/COM technologies define how individual software components can interact and share data. OPC provides a common interface for
communicating with diverse process-control devices, regardless of the
controlling software or devices in the process.
OPC DEFINITION
Version 3.1
8-2
OPC SERVER
OPC in S3: The OPC option for S3 is one of the easiest ways to provide
safety system data from many sources to the distributed control system or
other OPC compliant system.
With the OPC option S3 becomes a “Version 2.03 Data Access Server” to
make available, under user configuration, any information being tracked
by the S3 event handling database.
The S3 server setup is a model of simplicity. The user is presented with
a tag list showing all of the points being tracked by the system and the
user can then choose what to “activate” for OPC clients to access. Using
this simple tag based method it is possible to share complex data knowing little more that the tag name. OPC clients don’t need to know anything about the port type, serial or ethernet settings, memory register
locations, addresses, or any of a number of technical details, just the tag
name.
OPC Server configuration
To configure OPC data points, select the OPC Server button from the S3 Main Screen.
This will display the OPC Server Configuration dialog
box which lists all of the tags available for activation by the server.
OPC SERVER CONFIGURATION
Version 3.1
OPC SERVER

The available tags shown, were created during the port configuration
process. When a Modbus, Triconex, Eagle or other device is configured
it is added to the S3 tag name database. All of the points in this tag name
database are automatically set up by S3 for use by the OPC server.
This greatly simplifies OPC tag management.
The OPC Server Configuration dialog box displays the tagname, type and
origin information along with its OPC status, either Active or Inactive.
To make a tagname available to OPC Clients, select the tagname and
click on the “Activate” button.
In the example above, an Eagle Quantum UV/IR Optical fire detector is
selected. Its tagname is “K201AB-10”, it originates at S3 port 3 point 65,
is an “I” (input), and has an OPC State of “Active”.
This is a “top level” view of the devices and their status. In the above
example this single point “K201AB-10” actually is a compound point
with a variety of subordinate data available to the OPC client.
To view this data, select the “Properties” button.
OPC SERVER CONFIGURATION
Version 3.1

OPC Property Viewer: The properties button at the bottom of the OPC
Server Configuration dialog box will open the “OPC Property Viewer”
and display the properties for the selected point.
The individual property extension, description and variant type are displayed.
These properties were configured automatically by S3 for inclusion by the
OPC server when the point was created within the Port Configuration
process.
In the above example, because it was an intelligent addressable device, it
has a great deal of data indexed to it.
Simple analog or discrete values will have far less available data.
NOTE:
OPC Clients: In order for OPC clients to be able to connect to the S3
OPC Server, S3 must have been installed on the client machine.

Graphic Editor
The graphic editor allows for the creation, programming, and maintenance of up to 256 custom graphic screens overlayed with dynamic data
from any attached port.
These screens are then compiled and used by the “Online” application to
present the data to the operators.
The layout of the graphic editor simulates the “Online” environment so
that you have a better idea of how things will look when finished.
The drawing environment is divided into four main areas. The top area
holds drawing tools and access to the layer tabs. The top right area has
the navigation buttons and the lower right area has the user defined buttons. The fourth area is the drawing area, a rectangle in the center of the
screen whose size will vary based on the selected project resolution. In
addition there are pull down menu selections for additional features.

Drawing Layers: The S3 drawing environment utilizes layers to keep
like data constructs separated. There are four layers in the environment.
The layers are accessed by “Tabs” at the top left of the screen. In the
sample above, you can see the four tabs; Background, Static, F.S.I. and
Dynamic. The Background layer is currently selected.
Each layer has a different set of tools and provides a unique capability for
the drawing environment. The use of each layer is described below.
Background Layer: The background constitutes the lowest layer of the
drawing environment. Objects built on all other layers will be “on top”
of the background layer. The background layer is typically used to pro-
vide a consistent color, patterned or photographic background upon
which to draw objects in higher layers.

The FG (Foreground) and BG (Background)
selection box will open a color pallet for selecting different colors. There are 48 solid colors
available on the “Color” pallet with the ability
to add an additional 16 custom colors using the
“Define Custom Colors” feature.
In the sample to the right, an intermediate blue
is selected (Row 3, Column 6). When the
desired color has been picked, selecting the
“OK” button will change the entire drawing
area of the background layer to that color.

A pattern can be applied using the selected foreground color by clicking
on the “pattern pull down menu” to the right of the FG selection square.
In the sample above, a diagonal pattern has been applied to the background of the drawing area.
The BG square allows for the selection of a background color when used
in conjunction with a pattern selected from the pattern pulldown menu
and with the “Solid” checkbox selected.
In the sample above, a yellow BG was selected and the “Opaque” check
box is enabled. This yields a diagonal pattern with the FG color over the
BG color.

Importing Graphic Files: The background layer can also be used to
display a photo or drawing developed in another application. For
instance, a plot plan of the facility taken from AutoCad and converted to
a bitmap. This can save time in graphic development but trades off the
ability to easily edit the background later.
To place a bitmap file, select the “Import” button in the “Bitmap” area of
the background tab.
This will display a dialog
box allowing navigation
to the graphic file to be
imported. File types supported for importing
include; bitmaps (.bmp),
Windows Meta-File
(.wmf), and Enhanced
Meta-File (.emf) and standard JPEG (.jpg).
Regardless of the original file type, the import function converts it into a
bitmap (.bmp).
Once the file is selected the “Paste/Import Background...” dialog box
displays the available preprocessing options for bitmap imports.
There are two main option areas
associated with bitmap importing.
The “Sizing” area determines what
kind of scaling or cropping will be
applied to the bitmap.
The “Options” area can invert black and white pixels and / or fill the destination screens with a color (as selected in the FG & BG squares) prior
to importing the bitmap.
Sizing options: Each graphic screen is 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels

several different options to it as it is being imported.
Unmodified: If the graphic is exactly 800 x 600, the import dialog box
will open with the “Unmodified” radio button selected.
This option is usually
applicable when the
graphic to be imported
has been pre-processed
in another application
like Photoshop or
Paint.
If the graphic to be
imported is larger than 800 x 600 then when the import dialog box opens
the “Shrink”, “Crop” and “Flow” graphic import modifier radio buttons
will be enabled for selection.
Shrink: When the
graphic to be imported
is larger than standard,
the Shrink option is
automatically selected.
This will scale the
graphic to fit inside the
standard graphic window (800 x 600).
Crop: This option is
available when the
graphic to be imported
is larger than the standard graphic window
(800 x 600). When
selected, using the
upper left pixel of the
graphic to be imported
as a reference, everything beyond 800 pixels in width and 600 pixels in height will be deleted.

of buildings or machinery representing the facility or areas within it.
There are eight graphic creation tools and a pointer. In addition to these
tools there are modifiers for lines, colors and patterns.
Text tool: The text tool allows descriptive text to be added to the graphic screen. The alignment, angle, color and fill pattern for the “text
object” can be adjusted in the dialog box.
Selecting the text tool will open the “Text Editor” dialog box. Within
this dialog box text is entered and formatted. Formatting options include

right of the tool selection buttons is used to change the color of the actual
text in the text object (PP-NA-1 in this example).
The “BG” box used in conjunction with the “Opaque” checkbox allows
changing the color of background of the text object but not the text.
When the “Opaque” checkbox is
selected the background of the text
object will be what ever color is
selected in the “BG” box.
In the example to the right, the background of the text object has been set
to Opaque and White.
This is useful when text is placed
over a visually complicated object
that in some cases can make text
more difficult to read.
In addition, 16 custom colors can be
created for use in the project. These are created by selecting the “Define

Polygon tool: This tool allows the creation of polygons, either filled or
open, in the development of custom graphics. A polygon is a flat, or
plane closed figure made up of at least 3 lines. Triangles, rectangles,
octagons, and all other flat figures that have 3 or more sides are polygons.
To create a polygon object, select the tool, position the mouse pointer at
the location in the drawing window where the object will begin, click the
mouse to create the first point of the polygon and then drag the mouse to
the location of the
next “break-point”
and click. This creates another anchor
point and allows you
to then change the
direction of the next
line. Continue this process until the polygon is complete and on the last
point double-click to finish the object.
In the examples above, the left-most polygon is an “open polygon” and
the other two are “closed polygons”. Closed polygons can be assigned an
interior color and pattern. To
“close” a polygon, select the
completed “open polygon”
object by clicking on its outline, then from the “Objects”
menu select “Polygon” and
“Closed”. This will fill the
interior area of the polygon
object with the color and pattern preferences currently selected in the “Fill” and “Pen” areas. These
can be easily changed by selecting different choices.

Arc tool: When a segment of a circle is required this tool allows either
open or filled arcs to be created.
Creating an arc is a two step procedure. First, select the
“Arc” tool, as show above, then click and drag from
upper-left to lower-right to create the arc editing box, as
shown to the right. The arc editing box will always initially consist of a 270° arc starting at 90° and continuing
through 360°.
Second, select “Arc Reshape” from the “Objects”
menu. This will open the “Arc Editor” dialog box.
This dialog box, shown below, depicts the current
arc along with its starting and ending angles.
There is also a “Pie Shape” check box. When
selected, this causes the area inside of the arc to
take on the currently selected Fill and Pen attributes. The sample below
shows the arc with pie shape fill enabled and the start and end changed.

become “filled”.
Note that even though the
results of arc editing are
shown as adjustments are
being made, the arc being
edited doesn’t change until
the “Okay” button is selected in the Arc Editor dialog box. “Cancel” on the other hand, leaves the
original arcs attributes unchanged and it returns to its configuration
before the Arc Editor was opened.
Entering a new number in
either or both fields will
change the arc shape. The
new shape is displayed
graphically as numbers are
entered or the sliders are
adjusted. In the example to
the left, the angle start and
end have changed and the
arc has been reshaped.
Once the arc is of the desired size and shape, it’s pen and fill attributes
can be modified to suit. The aspect ratio (height to width ratio) of arcs,
like rectangles, circles, polygons, and other objects can be changed by
simply selecting the completed arc and resizing it by dragging one of the
selection rectangles defining the boundary of the arc. Above are a vari-
ety of arc samples demonstrating what can be done by manipulating the
pen, fill, angle attributes, and aspect ratio.

DEC Layer: This layer of the S3 drawing environment allows for the
selection, configuration and placement of symbols on the drawing that
represent the status of certain field devices.
These symbols can be configured to change color combinations depending on the “State” of the field device.
Eleven symbol shapes are provided so that different types of devices can
be represented by different symbols if desired. For example, a diamond
for fire detectors, a circle for gas detectors, a triangle for manual call
points, etc.
Select the desired symbol and then “click” on the desired destination
location for the symbol within the graphic window. Once placed, the
symbol may be freely moved with either the arrow keys or mouse.
In the sample above, the “diamond” symbol shape was selected and
placed on the graphic. The next step is to “link” the symbol to the field
device database and set its color attributes.
DEC LAYER
Version 3.1
10-22
GRAPHIC EDITOR
DEC Object Configuration: Double-click on the placed symbol to open
the “Detector Electronics object configuration” dialog box.
This dialog box presents a “Tagname” field
for creating linkage between the symbol and
the field device database and it also provides
controls for setting the color combinations
that will represent the various “states” of the
linked field device.
If the desired tagname is known for the field
device to be linked, it can be entered directly
into the “tagname” field at the top of the dialog box.
If the exact tagname is not known, select the “Find” button to the right of
the tagname field to open the “Tag Viewer”.
The “Tag Viewer” dialog box
contains a scrolling list of all of
the field devices in the database
as well as a “filter” field to
help locate the desired tag.
Once the desired tagname is
located, select it and choose
“OK” or double-click on the
tagname. This will make the selection and dismiss the tag viewer dialog
box, returning the object configuration dialog box where the selected tagname is now displayed.
DEC Object Visible Attribute Selection: The foreground color, background color, foreground pattern and background pattern can each be
individually selected for the symbol and its surrounding background.
In addition the color text displaying the tagname and its background
color can also be adjusted.
All of these settings are done via simple “point-and-click” selections
within the objects “state color selection” dialog box. To access these settings, double-click on the symbol next to the state being edited.

In the example below, the “Normal State” is being edited. In the center
of the dialog box is a representation of the symbol utilizing the currently
selected colors and patterns.
Symbol Background: On the left side of of the dialog box are selections
for the foreground and background colors of the “background” of the
symbol. This is the square area surrounding the actual symbol.
Below this are an “Opaque”
check box and a pull down
menu for the pattern of the
background. The “Opaque”
checkbox works in conjunction
with the selected pattern. It
applies the selected background
color to the background of a
pattern. If no pattern is selected, it has no meaning. By
default, “opaque” is deselected.
Symbol: On the right side are
similar selections for the foreground color, background color and the pattern of the symbol itself.
Text: The foreground and background colors of the text displaying the
tagname of the symbol can be changed as required. The foreground color
controls the actual text color, the background color controls a rectangle
surrounding the tagname. This can be used to make the tagname easier
to read when its symbol is over complex graphics.
With text, the “Opaque” check box must be selected to enable the background color.
Color Selections: All foreground and background
color selections are made using S3’s standard color
selection dialog box. This dialog box provides 48
predefined “standard colors” along with the ability
to create up to 16 custom colors.
The “Define Custom Colors” button will expand the
dialog box to allow selection of any desired color.

and change the tagname selection. You may also cut/copy and paste a
symbol from one location or screen to another.
Callout Symbol: Of the eleven symbols available, ten are simple one
piece geometric shapes. One however, is a “two-piece” symbol called a
“Call-out”. It consists of a rectangle containing
the tag name and a small pointer connected by an
elastic line that can be moved away from the tagname to indicate device location.
Call-outs are typically useful when a large number of field devices are in
close proximity to each other on the graphics, as in the sample below.

Dynamic Layer: The “Dynamic Layer”provides a selection of drawing
tools for the creation of graphics that can be linked to the tagname database and the status of devices connected to the system can then influence
the look, size and position of dynamic objects on the screen.
For instance, the “Sensor Fault” status bit of a gas detector can cause a
descriptive text string to appear on screen next to its DEC tag object, or a
valve position switch tied to an input can cause a polygon shaped like a
valve to change color.
There are the same eight graphic creation tools and a pointer as found on
the Static Layer editor plus two additional ones, the “Dynamic Text” tool
and the “Complex Object” tool. In addition to these tools there are the
standard S3 modifiers for lines, colors and patterns.
The creation of objects and setting of their color, pattern, line attributes
and position is identical to that described for the Static Layer using the
following tools:
Text Tool
Line Tool
Rectangle Tool
Rounded Rectangle Tool
Circle/Ellipse Tool
Freehand Tool
Polygon Tool
Arc Tool
For detailed instructions on the use of these tools to create objects refer
back to the Static Layer portion of this chapter.
Dynamic Object Linking & Attribute Choices: Once a dynamic object
has been created and placed in its initial position on the screen it can then
be linked to the tagname database and configured to perform certain
object specific dynamic changes.

Function Overview: Following is a brief overview of each available
dynamic function along with an example of how the function might commonly be applied.
Attributes: Attributes include the size, shape, location, fill color, pattern, line thickness and pen color of a dynamic object. Any or all of
these parameters can be changed in response to changes in data coming from the linked tag.
An example would be to change the color of a dynamic object from
green to yellow when the status the device it is linked to in the tagname database changed from “Normal” to “Fault”.
Display Button Group: This function is designed to allow clicking on
an area of the graphic screen to call up a specific set of user configured buttons.
For example, the polygon tool could be used to outline a pump created on the static layer and then when the user clicked on the pump, the
button set for the pump controls would be called up allowing the
pump to be started or stopped.
This function is “exclusive” meaning that it cannot be used in conjunction with any other functions.
Hide/Show: This function can be used alone or in combination with
other functions depending on the object type and desired effect. As
the name implies, it will either “hide” or “show” the object based on
a change in data from the linked tag.
For example, the polygon tool could be used to outline the area
around some “value text” in red when the associated tag went into the
alarm state. In the normal state the polygon would be hidden.
Percent Fill: Causes an object to “fill” with a user selectable color
based on the analog value of the linked tagname.
Used primarily to show things like the level in a storage tank or to
create bargraph type displays.
Text Attributes: Allows text to be configured to change any and all of
its attributes, including the text itself, based on changes in the linked
tagname. For instance, text could be configured to say “OK” and be
green when the tag was normal and then change to say “NEW
ALARM” in red following the state of the linked tag.
DYNAMIC LAYER
Version 3.1

GRAPHIC EDITOR
Two State: Causes an object to “blink” between two different sets of
attributes based on satisfying a logical condition established during
the objects configuration.
Typically used to hilite a condition or bring attention to an area of the
graphic display.
Value Text: Displays the analog process variable of a linked tagname
onscreen. The value can be configured to display with or without a
decimal point and with or without the engineering units.
The value will update in sync with the polling of the port associated
with the linked tagname.
The text used to display the value can be configured to change any
and all of its attributes, based on changes in the linked tagname. For
instance, the font, font size, color and background could all be configured to change in 10% increments as the process variable changed.
Other than the fact that the actual value cannot be edited, and the
ability to select whether or not to display the engineering units and
decimal point for the value, configuration of “Value Text” is identical
to standard “Dynamic Text” as described in the following pages.

dynamic object types. The function will “fill” the object based on the
analog value of the process variable for the tagname linked to the object.
The color, pattern and direction of fill can be user configured.
Typical uses for this function would be to create a bar graph or to show
the level in a tank. In the example below, a rectangle is being used to
create a bar graph which is linked to the analog value of a gas detector.
In this example the height of the bargraph is proportional to the analog

The size of many of these complex objects can easily be changed by simply selecting the object and clicking and dragging on one of the objects
selection handles until it reaches the desired size.
The working components of the object will scale accordingly.

Custom Overview: In certain cases, the automatically generated composite overview created by S3 does not present the desired format and a
custom overview is required.
S3 supports the creation
and use of a full screen
custom overview complete with dynamic
objects and links to lower
level graphic screens.
In the examples on this
page, a digital photo created in another program
was imported into S3 to
serve as a background
layer in the projects custom overview. In the example above, dynamic polygons were created to
outline different areas of the platform and then linked to the appropriate
“mid-level overview”. A “virtual annunciator” was also created using the
same technique. Any alarms in these areas then highlite the problem area
and clicking on them navigates to the appropriate linked screen, allowing
the operator to quickly navigate to problem areas.

GRAPHIC EDITOR
Custom Overview: A custom overview is a full screen (1024 x 768
pixel) graphic with no visible on-screen buttons or navigation tools. It is
created in the “Custom
Overview Editor” which is
accessed from the “Screens”
menu in the graphic editor.
The environment of the editor is very similar to the
standard screen graphic editor but with scroll bars added
to the graphic window to
accommodate its “full screen” size and a “View” button to display and
test the custom overview in a full screen mode.
The custom overview is “multi-layered” having three independent layers;
Background, Static and Dynamic. These layers function identically to
their counterpart layers on the standard graphic screens (see Chapter 10).
The Background layer can contain an imported bitmap graphic, the static
layer contains the tools for creating object based graphics, and the
Dynamic layer allows objects to be created that are linked to “Tags” in
the database.
CUSTOM OVERVIEW
Version 3.1
GRAPHIC EDITOR

Layer Summary: The background and static layers function identically
to their counterparts in the standard graphic development environment
but allow you to work with the larger 1024 x 768 pixel format provided
for the custom overview as opposed to the standard 800 x 600 pixel format. The purpose of these layers are to allow the creation of the desired
graphic representation. Refer to Chapter 10 of this manual for instructions on background and static layer usage and tools.
Dynamic Layer: The Dynamic Layer provides tools for creating “invisible” boundaries around areas of the graphics on the layers below that can
then be “linked” to the “state” of other graphic screens or mid-level
overviews. When the “linked” screen
changes state the dynamic object representing the screen will change according to it’s
configured graphic attributes.
The “Polygon” and “Freehand” drawing
tools are provided to create “linkable”
graphic objects that will typically highlite an
area of the custom graphic.
Dynamic Element Graphic Attributes: On the right side of the Custom
Overview editor in place of the user programmable
buttons are graphic controls for setting the graphic
attributes of created dynamic elements.
A separate color pattern and opacity can
be assigned to each dynamic object for
each of its five potential states; Normal,
Fault, Alarm, New Fault, and New
Alarm.
Color selection is by way of
the standard dialog box
which provides 48 predefined basic colors.
In addition, the user can
define up to 16 custom colors by selecting the “Define
Custom Color” button at the
bottom of the “Color” dialog
box.

Use either the “Freehand Tool” or “Polygon Tool” to create an outline
around the area desired to indicate the status of a linked screen. Then
choose the “Select” button from the top right of the editing screen to display to available screens which can be linked to the selected dynamic
object.
Once linked, the link will be displayed above the “Select” button.
Setting Dynamic Object Graphic Attributes: Select a dynamic object,
its link will be displayed above the “Select” button. On the right side of
the screen are five “State boxes” showing the
current graphic attributes for the selected dynamic object. If changes are desired, click on the
appropriate “State box” and modify the attributes
as necessary.
Pattern: To the right, the “New Alarm” pattern
selection “pull down” menu shows the various
selections available for the state. In this case the
“Solid” pattern is selected which as the name
implies renders a solid color. A standard mix of
vertical, horizontal, diagonal and hatch patterns
are available.

Opacity: This attribute allows the background layers to show through
the object in inverse proportion to the opacity setting. At 100% opacity
the selected color and pattern completely
obscure the lower layers and as the opacity
decreases more of the background becomes
visible “through” the object. This gives
the ability to “color” an area while still
being able to see a selectable amount of
detail.
Adjusting the opacity of a selected object is accomplished by entering a
value from 0-100% in the
numeric field or by using the
slider. In the sample to the
left, 25%, 50%, 75% and
100% opacity have been
applied to yellow circles with
a solid pattern.
Viewing Dynamic Object Graphic Attributes: Once the desired attributes have been modified they can be tested using the “View” button.
This will show the Custom Overview graphic “full screen” and provide a
selector switch to change the “virtual state” of all dynamic objects simultaneously. This will allow you to dynamically view how the objects will
look in each state. Clicking the “close box” on the “View dialog box”
will return to the Custom Overview editor.

was provided to set defaults for these parameters that could be applied
individually or globally.
Selecting “Dynamic Defaults...” from the “Misc.” menu will display the
“Default Color Selection...” dialog box used to create a default setting for
color, pattern and opacity that can be easily applied to objects on the
dynamic layer of the Custom Graphic Editor.
The five object states are
shown with a DetTronics logo in the center
to provide a reference
point as the different
attributes are adjusted.
Pattern selection and
opacity adjustments are

GRAPHIC EDITOR
Mid-Level Overviews: S3 automatically creates a total overview that is
a composite of all of the low level graphic screens
in the project. This overview is accessible from
the “cross” navigation button in both the graphic
editor and online graphics environments.
This composite, scales all of the low level screens
and any blank screens between them into a single
1024 x 768 pixel graphic representing the system.
From this “Total Overview” any low level screens
with alarm or fault conditions will highlite in
accordance with their settings.
In many cases, the size, geography or construction of the facility my
make this type of overview less than ideal. In the offshore platform
example project below, multiple areas and levels are represented by 45
low level screens. A composite of this many screens causes a very large
loss of detail making it difficult to determine where the problem is.
To overcome this issue, S3 supports the creation of “Mid-Level
Overviews” which are a group of low level screens, typically arranged to
form a good “pictorial image” of an area..

Creating the Mid-Level Overview
(MLO) is accomplished by clicking and
dragging all of the screens from the
lower area that will make up the MLO
into the top section and arranging them
in the proper order to create the desired
effect.
In the sample project used for this example there are 45 screens to choose
from. Each screen has
both a name and graphic
grid coordinate. When
the names were created
for the low level screens
care was taken to make
the name descriptive of
the area of the facility.
This makes it easier to
pick which screens will
be included in the Mid-Level
Overview.
For the MLO being created for
this example, all of the screens
with the “MN DECK” designation will be used to create a
group. This includes screens
A1, A2, A3, A4, B1 thru B4,
C1 thru C4 and D1 thru D4.
As these screens are copied
from the screens section to the
group section the MLO is taking shape.
The “construction” of the MLO can be viewed at any time by selecting

EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER CONFIGURATION
One of the supported communication port types is for the Detector
Electronics Corporation “Eagle Quantum Premier” fire & gas system.
System configuration consists of three major phases.
• Identifying all of the devices on the network.
• Configuring the operating parameters of each of these devices.
• Downloading the configuration data over the network to the devices.
Prior to configuration, ensure communication with the Eagle Quantum
Premier controller is established. Reference the “Ports” (Section 2) area
of this users guide on establishing serial communications.
Enter the Eagle Quantum Premier configuration screen by either doubleclicking on the port button or by selecting the port and then choosing
“Configure” from the buttons on the right of the Ports screen.

13-2 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Eagle Quantum Premier Configuration Screen: The main configuration screen is divided into two functional areas. The top area, which has
a schematic representation of the Local Operating Network (LON™) on
which all of the field devices reside and the lower area which contains
context sensitive buttons for accessing features and performing functions.
On a new loop, as represented in the sample above, the LON schematic
has a single device, the controller, shown at the upper left corner and
addressed as “Node 1”. This node is automatically placed on the LON
because without it no further configuration or monitoring can take place.
Button Bar Overview: There are two button bars located at the bottom
of the screen, the “Command Bar” and the “Configuration Bar”. The
Command Bar is used to
create, query or directly
manipulate LON devices.
The Configuration Bar is used to
create, duplicate or delete devices
and to reconcile their physical and
logical LON addresses.
The functionality of each button is described on the following pages.
CONFIGURATION
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 13-3
Command Bar: The command bar has fifteen buttons, most of which
initiate a command to a field device to perform a certain function, return
a value, or feed “real-time” information to S3 to be displayed.
The command issued is specific to the node selected in the upper section.
In some cases, multiple nodes may be selected using either the shift-click
or drag methods and the command can be sent to all applicable nodes in
the selected set.
To initiate a command using the command bar, select either a single node
or a group of nodes, then click on the desired command button. In most
cases a progress monitor will appear and display text messages tracking
the execution of the command.
Command Definitions
Devices Found: This command actively queries the controller for information on any devices it is in communication with.
The controller returns this information to S3 which displays a table listing
the devices, by node number
(address on the LON) along
with the device type and the
firmware revision number
of each device.
The “Devices Found” dialog
box also provides a “Print”

with the “Alarm Condition” radio button. They can also be disabled
which removes them from tracking but leaves the event configured in
case it is desired to activate it later without the need for knowing the configuration details.
Transition On: When the tracked event
transitions from the off state to the on
state the alarm will be activated as configured.
Transition Off: When the tracked event
transitions from the on state to the off
state the alarm will be activated as configured.
The event configuration consists of selecting where the event is to be
tracked (Printer, Disk, Alarm Window), whether it will automatically
clear when the event returns to its normal condition, what colors will be
used for the events normal and active states, and whether a recorded
sound will be triggered when the event occurs. There is also an option to
allow the event to “trigger a fault” instead of an alarm for display purposes in the online graphics environment.

one of the available comparisons. The analog signal is compared using
the selected logical operator against the values entered. When the condition is true the event will be activated and tracked as configured.
The logical operators for comparison
are self explanatory

The LON is typically wired as a loop starting and ending at the controller
although the schematic does not show this for aesthetic reasons. The end
of the LON at the lower right is assumed to connect back to the controller at the top left of the screen.
Each configured device is represented by a rectangle bisected longitudinally with the tag name displayed in the upper section and the node num-
ber (LON address) displayed in the lower section.
Using the “Display Type” button the node number

CONFIGURATION / COMMAND BAR / LON DIAGNOSTIC
Version 3.1

This button is a “toggle” and will
change name following activation to
indicate what its function will be on
its next activation.
Diagnostic data is displayed to two ways on the display, through the color
of the rectangle defining each node,
and through indicators and counters at the bottom of the screen.
The LON is typically wired as a loop starting and ending at the controller
which has two physical interfaces (transceivers) labeled “A” and “B”.
On an intact LON each of these transceivers receives information from
all of the field devices at roughly the same time. A nodes proximity to
one or the other transceiver along with the propagation delay of long
wiring distances and/or network extenders will induce a small time differential. This differential will cause an individual nodes message to be
read by either the A or B transceiver first and processed by the controller.
If the last message processed by the controller for a node comes through
the “A” transceiver the rectangle representing that node will have a green
outline on the diagnostic LON schematic. If it comes through the “B”
transceiver its rectangle will be outlined in yellow.
Normal LON: On a healthy LON with good network integrity, message
traffic will appear random and each nodes outline color will constantly
change without any pattern.
Faulted LON: On a faulty LON with a break in the wiring or other
abnormal condition, message traffic may have only one path to the controller. This would be indicated graphically by all of the nodes before the
problem changing to one color (green or yellow) and the nodes after the
problem changing to the other color. The area where the color transition
occurs is most likely the problem area.
CONFIGURATION / COMMAND BAR / LON DIAGNOSTIC
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 13-17
In this way the LON diagnostic display can be used to localize LON
wiring problems.
In addition to the graphic representation of message traffic on the display,
quantitative data is available for diagnostics through indicators and counters.
If a node on the schematic is selected (by single-clicking on its rectangle)
the five indicators in the lower left of the screen will show the diagnostic
data from the selected node.
To the right of these indicators are LON counters that show message processing by the controller.
On a healthy system the
counters should be close to
equal. On a system with a
degraded network, there
may be a significant offset
showing either the “A” or “B” transceiver getting the majority of traffic.
Reset Module: To the right of the LON counters is the “Reset Module”
button. This command
forces a selected field
device to perform a “soft
restart” effectively “rebooting” the field device. This
will also reset any latched
alarms, faults, outputs, etc.

Point Address: Allows a node on the LON schematic to be given a different address.
This is typically used when similar nodes are copied & pasted to preserve a particular set of configuration parameters. After the paste function, the “new” node may have an incorrect address and it must then be
changed.
To use this function, select a node by single-clicking on its rectangle.

This will display the “Output Editor” dialog box.
The Output Editor provides two data entry fields, the first for entering the
Tagname desired for the configured output, the second provides for a
“long description” of the tagname function.
Below these two fields is a hierarchal list of “destinations” to tie the output to in the database.
Any item on the list that has a “+” before it has subordinate items and
clicking on the “+” will expand the list showing all items that make up
that category.
To the right of the list are two buttons that can “Expand” or “Collapse”

Arrange: This button allows the re-arrangement of the nodes on the
LON schematic for the purpose of matching the physical and logical
order of the network.
This must be done to optimize the functionality of the LON diagnostic
screen.
On the example network schematic shown above the node order is shown
numerically. Node 1 being the controller, followed sequentially by nodes

wire to “Node 20” and the overall order could be 1, 5, 20, 21, 23 ... etc.
The “Arrange” button allows you to move the location of the nodes on
the schematic representing the LON to match the actual way the LON is
wired in the field. This is an important step for ease of future LON troubleshooting.
To use the “Arrange” function, click on the button and drag the nodes
into their desired locations. To move a node,
click and drag it over the
area between the two
nodes where you would
like it to be, then release the mouse button. The node will then be moved

Display Type: A “toggle button” that allows either the default Node
Number to be displayed on the LON schematic, as shown in the example
below, or the device type.
When the “Display Type” button is selected, the LON schematic will
substitute the device type for the node number, as shown below.
When the device type is being displayed, the button on the configuration
bar will toggle to say “Display
Number”, and when selected shifts
the LON schematic display back to
the default Node Number view.
Copy: Used in conjunction with the “Paste” command, “Copy” allows a
nodes configuration to be duplicated elsewhere on the LON while retaining the configuration data.
This is very useful when there are to be many nodes of the same type and
configuration on a LON. The detailed configuration only needs to be
done once, then copy and paste as many as needed with only the new
nodes tag name and address needing to be manually entered.
To copy a node select it by single clicking on the device then choose the
“Copy” button. The “Paste” button will produce a new device with all of
the configuration from the copied node, just enter the new tag name and

Controller: The “Controller” is the first device on any Eagle Quantum
Premier Local Operating Network (LON). This device is used performs
the user logic, provides the NFPA-72 required operator interface elements
and provides a communication interface to the S3 Operator Interface
Station (OIS) and/or other intelligent systems for monitoring purposes.
Both the user logic and the configuration for all of the LON devices is
first created and stored in the S3 configuration database, then downloaded
to the Controller, which in turn downloads this information to the field
devices where it is stored in their non-volatile memory.
A copy of the configuration data is also stored in the Controllers own
non-volatile memory.
When an Eagle Quantum Premier port is first
created, the LON schematic is empty except
for a “node rectangle” representing the
Controller, as shown in the example to the
right.
The node rectangle is divided in half horizontally with the tag name in
the top and controller configuration in the bottom. S3 has assigned “T1”
as a temporary tag name. This tagname is randomly generated.

EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Configuration Port: This motherboard port is used to connect to an S3
workstation to perform configuration, diagnostics and troubleshooting. It
utilizes a proprietary protocol unique to the EQP controller and S3 software package and cannot be used by other devices. The configuration
port uses the RS-232 standard and it has two configurable parameters;
baud rate and parity.
Baud Rate: The port speed
can be adjusted in standard
intervals between a high speed
of 115,200 baud which is both
the default setting and the recommended setting, and, a low
speed of 2,400 baud. Lower
speeds are not recommended
but sometimes required if the
controllers location is too far
from the S3 workstation to support the recommended speed.
Parity: The parity setting for
the controllers configuration
port defaults to “None” but it
can also be adjusted to either
“Even” or “Odd”.
There are no other adjustable parameters for the configuration port.
Serial Ports 1-4: These ports can be used for communication with a host
device such as a users Distributed Control System (DCS), Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) or Human Machine Interface (HMI).
Ports 1 and 4 uses the RS-485 standard, 2 and 3 use the RS-232 standard.
Each have four configurable parameters; protocol, baud rate, parity and
address.
Protocol: This serial port currently supports the Modbus RTU slave protocol and the pop-up menu allows the selection of either “MODBUS
Slave” or “Disabled”. Port 3 can also be set as a configuration port.
Baud Rate: The motherboard ports speed can be adjusted in standard
intervals between a high speed of 115,200 baud and a low speed of 2,400

baud. 19,200 baud is both the default setting and the most commonly
used setting for connection to Modbus compliant devices. Ports 2-4 on
the Type-A expansion board have a speed range of 9,600 to 230,400 bps.
Parity: The parity setting for the controller’s configuration port defaults
to “None” but it can also be adjusted to either “Even” or “Odd”.
Address: The address field is for entering the desired Modbus station
address. The default value is “1” and it can be changed by using the
“up/down” arrows or direct entry of a value.
The Modbus station address
must be in a range from 1 to
247.
Miscellaneous: This section
of the “Configure a controller...” dialog box has three
adjustable parameters; setting
of the controller’s built in
“beeper” volume, LON point
disabling and access to the
user parameter editor.
Beeper Volume: The Eagle
Quantum Premier controller
has an integral “Beeper” to
annunciate a variety of conditions and to meet regulatory
requirements.
To accommodate the controller being mounted in areas with different
amounts of ambient noise the beeper can be adjusted to any of three settings; Low, Medium and High, via a pop-up menu. The default value is
“Low” which is suitable for installations where the controller is not in a
separate enclosure and is in a control room / office type environment.

This is the text that will be used and recorded throughout the S3 applications suite when the event occurs.
Printer: When selected, sends the event to the S3 event printer.
File: When selected, sends the event to the “Alarm History” module of
S3 for storage in the daily log.
Window: When selected, sends the event to the “Active Alarms” module of S3. This module is accessed via the F6 key when online. It will
also be displayed in the single line FIFO display at the bottom of the
screen when in the Online mode. Refer to Chapter 3.
Auto Clear: This selection determines whether the logged event will
track the real time occurrence of the event or when the operator acknowledgement is factored in.
If the AC checkbox is not selected, which is the default, when an event
occurs it will be logged to the appropriate locations, as configured by the
Printer, File, Window selections, with the date and time of occurrence.
When the event returns to its normal state, nothing will happen until the
operator activates the “Acknowledge” button. The system will then log
the date and time of the event returning to “Normal”. In reality it’s logging the first time the operator activates the Acknowledge button after the
event has returned to normal.
If the AC checkbox is selected, when an event occurs it will be logged to

Digital Communication Unit (DCU)
For gas detectors and other analog inputs
DCU’s are single channel analog input modules for the Eagle Quantum
Premier LON. S3 provides four variations of software support for DCU’s, as
follows:
•
Explosive: For use with Det-Tronics catalytic bead combustible gas
detectors.
•
Oxygen: For use with
Det-Tronics electrochemical oxygen depletion
cells.
•
Universal: Used with
Det-Tronics line of electrochemical cells measuring a variety of toxic
gasses.
The “Universal” DCU can
also be used with any
standard 4-20ma* analog
input and it for allows
for the entry of user
assigned units and ranges.
•
DCU Pointwatch: Used with Detector Electronics “PointWatch”
U9400 series infrared point hydrocarbon detectors.
*The actual range digitized by the DCU is between 0 and 24 ma because
some field devices utilize the over-range & under-range areas for diagnostic or other data.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION UNIT (DCU)
Version 3.1
14-22 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
From a configuration standpoint, all DCU’s have the same basic adjustable
parameters; Alarm 1, Alarm 2, and Calibration gas concentration (Cal Level).
The DCU Universal also has a fields for entering the engineering units and
unit range for the attached sensor.
The “PV Deadband” field determines what percentage change in the
Process Variable (PV) will prompt the DCU to send an immediate update to
the controller instead of waiting for its regularly scheduled message time.
The default is 5%.
The “Gas Mode” selection has two choices; “Gas Detector” or “Other”. The
default is “Gas Detector” which limits the adjustable range of the low and
high alarm setpoints to be consistent with regulatory requirements.

Version 3.1
14-26 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Gas Type:
After entering the desired tagname
and miscellaneous information,
select the gas type the detector is
being installed to primarily monitor
from a pull-down list.
There are six common hydrocarbon
gasses that have be characterized
and put into the detectors memory.
There are three “Reserved” fields
for future standard characterizations and one selection called
“Special” which if selected allows a
unique hydrocarbon gas to be
defined and downloaded to the
detector.
Special Gases
If “Special” is selected as the gas type, the “Special Gas Settings” area of
the editor becomes active and allows for the entry of the gas coefficients
necessary to define the gas.
Once the gas type has been selected, a calibration gas type and method
must be chosen.
ECLIPSE
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 14-27
Calibration Gas: Type and Concentration
Eclipse supports three selections for calibration gas type; Ethane, Methane
and “same as measured”.
Typically the calibration gas type is the same as the measured gas, however,
in some installations it may be preferred to use a single type of calibration
gas to calibrate a number of hydrocarbon detectors even though they are
not all characterized to monitor the same gas in normal operation.
Eclipse supports the use of either Methane or Ethane as a calibration gas
regardless of the “Gas Type” selected for the detector. Of course, the
“measured gas” can also be selected as the calibration gas type.
Once the calibration gas type is set, the concentration must be set.
The default value of 50%LEL can be changed between 20%LEL and
100%LEL to match the gas being used.

Infrared Optical Flame Detector
Description: The X9800 is located on the LON/SLC and provides Infrared
Optical Flame detection capability for the Eagle Quantum Premier system.
The X9800 meets the most stringent requirements worldwide with
advanced detection capabilities and immunity to extraneous sources, combined with a superior mechanical design.
The detector is equipped with both automatic and manual oi test capability.
The detector has Division and Zone explosion-proof ratings and is suitable
for use in indoor and outdoor applications.
Tagname: The tagname at the top of the dialog box refers to the flame
detector.
Until a tagname is entered the detector is not available in the S3 database
for programming, monitoring or dynamic graphic purposes.
X9800
Version 3.1
14-64 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Configuration: Enter the Tagname for the detector, a miscellaneous
description and then adjust the IR Settings.
Processing Mode: The X9800 features signal processing options.
These options determine the type of logic that the detector will use for
processing fire signals to customize the X9800 to the application.
Two signal processing options are available for the X9800: “TDSA” and
“TDSA & Quickfire”.
•
TDSA enabled
The TDSA signal processing technique analyzes the input signal in
real time, requiring the IR signal to flicker randomly in order to recognize it as a fire condition.
Using TDSA signal processing, the X9800 ignores regularly chopped
blackbody sources (occurring in areas where moving conveyors and
hot objects in proximity to one another result in a regularly
chopped IR signal), because it looks for a less uniform signal.
However, in the presence of a regularly chopped signal, the unit is
more susceptible to false alarms due to sporadic IR that functions as
a trigger when occurring in conjunction with the regularly chopped
signal.
X9800
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 14-65
•
TDSA & Quick Fire enabled (either initiates fire alarm).
The Quick Fire (High Speed) feature can be used in conjunction with
the TDSA signal processing method.
This method overrides TDSA requirements in the event of an intense
signal. When Quick Fire is activated, the detector is capable of
responding to an intense fire signal in less than 30 milliseconds
(0.030 seconds).
Using the Quick Fire feature in conjunction with TDSA signal processing allows the detector to provide a high speed response to a
large, non-flickering fire (such as in high pressure gas applications)
while maintaining an ability to respond to smaller fires.
Automatic oi
The X9800 includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi) feature — a calibrated performance test that is automatically performed once per minute
to verify complete detector operation capabilities.
No testing with an external test lamp is required.
The detector automatically performs the same test that a maintenance person with a test lamp would perform — once every minute, 60 times per
hour. However, a successful automatic oi test does not produce an alarm
condition.
The X9800 signals a fault condition when less than half of the detection
range remains. This is indicated by the amber color of the LED on the face
of the detector.
Magnetic oi / Manual oi
The detector also incorporates both magnetic oi and manual oi features
that provide the same calibrated test as the automatic oi, and in addition
actuates the message to verify output operation for preventive maintenance requirements.
These features can be performed at any time and eliminate the need for
testing with a non-calibrated external test lamp.
CAUTION
These tests require disabling of all extinguishing devices to avoid release
resulting from a successful test.
The magnetic oi test is performed by placing a magnet by the marked location (mag oi) on the outside of the detector.
The manual oi test is accomplished by selecting the button on the devices
Point Display.
The magnet must be held in place for a minimum of 6 seconds to complete
the test.
X9800
Version 3.1
14-66 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
These test methods activate the calibrated IR emitter.
If the resulting signal meets the test criteria, indicating that greater than
half of the detection range remains, the Alarm message changes state, the
indicating LED changes to red, and a full scale reading is displayed in the
analog readout on the S3 Point Display. .
This condition remains until the magnet is removed or the S3 software test
command is released.
If less than half of the detection range remains, no alarm is produced and a
fault is generated.
The fault indication can be reset by momentarily applying the magnet or
the S3 Software Point Display reset button.
Oi Configuration
The frequency of Oi testing can be adjusted between once a minute as
maximum and up to once every ten minutes as a minimum.
There is also a checkbox for automatic operation.
The number of failed Oi tests needed to generate a fault can also be adjusted within a range of 1 to 30.
Test failures can sometimes be generated during heavy rain or other environmental conditions thus requiring this parameter to be flexible.

Sensitivity:
Dense fog, rain as well as certain gases and vapors can absorb IR radiation
and reduce the sensitivity of the detector.
The sensitivity of the detector can be adjusted to any one of four settings
using the slider control as shown above.
Alarm Latching: This refers to the fire alarm “message” being sent from the detector to the EQP controller and then used in both the embedded and user
programmed logic. Non-latching is the default and
most common setting.
Using the Radio Buttons select either latching or nonlatching for the alarm operation. If set to latching,
the user will have to reset the detector from its S3
Point Display following an alarm.
Time Delay: An input time delay can be programmed
by entering a value from 1 to 15 seconds in the provided field.
This will delay sending the fire alarm message to the
EQP controller until the fire alarm has been generated
uninterrupted for the specified time. This programmable delay can be used to filter out spurious events.

Heated Optics
Heater Power: Up to 8 watts of power can be utilized to provide heat to
the optical sensing elements. The “Heater Power” adjustment allows the
user to determine the maximum amount of power to use in trying to
achieve the temperature setpoint. This can be an important adjustment in
situations where the power budget is limited or in installations with large
quantities of detectors.
Temperature Setpoint: The default temperature setpoint for the heated
optics is 35°C but can be adjusted utilizing the rotary dial or by entering a
value in the setpoint field.
OPTICAL INTEGRITY (Oi)
Automatic oi: The X3301 includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi) feature — a calibrated performance test that is automatically performed once

dent locally by the amber color of the LED on the face of the detector.
Oi Test Fault
The detector automatically conducts oi tests to check the integrity of the
optical sensing systems. Three consecutive failed oi tests will generate a
fault condition, which will be indicated by the LED on the face of the detector turning amber. The EQP Controller and S3 software will also annunciate
this fault.
In certain environmental conditions like very heavy rain, oi test failures can
occur even though the hardware is not faulty. To compensate for this the
number of failed oi tests required to generate the fault can be adjusted
upward to a maximum of 30.
Magnetic oi / Manual oi
The detector also incorporates both magnetic oi and manual oi features
that provide the same calibrated test as the automatic oi, and in addition
actuates the Alarm to verify output operation for preventive maintenance
requirements. These features can be performed at any time and eliminate
the need for testing with a non-calibrated external test lamp.
The magnetic oi test is performed by placing a magnet by the marked location (mag oi) on the outside of the detector. The manual oi test is accomplished by selecting the oi Test button on the Point Display in the S3 software. The magnet must be held in place for a minimum of 6 seconds to

emitters. If the resulting signal meets the test criteria, indicating that
greater than half of the detection range remains, the Alarm status message
to the EQP controller changes state,the indicating LED changes to red, and
the analog signal displayed in the tracking area of the S3 point display goes
to maximum.
This condition remains until the magnet is removed or the software test is
complete. If the alarm LED is configured for non-latching operation, it will
change states and the red LED will turn to green.
If the unit has latching LED’s, the detector’s operating software will automatically reset the relays with no operator action required.
If less than half of the detection range remains, no alarm is produced and a
fault is generated. The fault indication can be reset by momentarily applying the magnet or via S3 software command.
Quick Fire Enabled: The “Quick Fire” feature can be enabled or disabled
from a soft-switch in the bottom left area of the configuration dialog box.
Quick Fire mode is for enhanced response to “flash” type fires. For details

EQ2200UV
Version 3.1
14-84 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
The UV detector output (measured in counts per second) is compared to the
fire threshold (the"sensitivity" setting). If the radiant energy level from the
fire exceeds the selected alarm threshold level, the fire alarm output is activated. In every application, it is crucial to ensure that the radiant ultraviolet energy level from the expected fire at the required distance from the
detector will exceed the selected sensitivity level.
The UV detector can be programmed for “Arc Rejection” or “Standard
Signal Processing”.
Arc Rejection (Recommended Factory Setting)
The Arc Rejection mode enables the detector to prevent nuisance fire
alarms caused by UV from short-duration electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge, while maintaining the ability to reliably detect the UV given off by
a flame.
Typical applications that benefit from arc rejection logic include electrostatic coating processes and uncontrolled environments where transient UV
sources can be present, such as many typical outdoor applications.
Most false alarm sources have short transient UV signatures, while fire creates a long UV signature over many seconds. Most fires are detected in a
few seconds.
Standard Signal Processing
Standard signal processing is recommended for high speed suppression systems only. To allow for high speed operation, the standard processing mode
does not incorporate the arc rejection programming.
This mode should only be used in a controlled, indoor environment.

adjustable parameters of the detector. This includes processing and sensitivity adjustments for both of the sensors along with some global settings
for alarm action, Oi, time delays and deadband.
EQ2200UVIR
Version 3.1
14-96 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Tagname: The tagname at the top of the dialog box refers to the flame
detector as a whole and is the identifier used for programming.
Until a tagname is entered the detector is not available in the S3 database
for programming, monitoring or dynamic graphic purposes. The optional
description entered in the miscellaneous text field can be used for further
describe where or how the detector is being used and can be helpful in
troubleshooting.
Sensor Settings & Sensitivity: Both the UV and IR sensors have independently adjustable settings for a variety of processing and sensitivity variables
that can be used to fine tune the detectors operation to fit the application.
UV Specific Settings: The UV detector can be programmed for either
“Standard Signal Processing” or “Arc Rejection”.
Arc Rejection (Recommended Factory Setting)
The Arc Rejection mode enables the detector to prevent nuisance fire
alarms caused by UV from short-duration electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge, while maintaining the ability to reliably detect the UV given off by
a flame. Most false alarm sources have short transient UV signatures, while
fire creates a long UV signature over many seconds. Most fires are detected
in a few seconds.
EQ2200UVIR
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 14-97
Standard Signal Processing
Standard signal processing is recommended for high speed suppression systems only. To allow for high speed operation, the standard processing
mode does not incorporate the arc rejection programming.
This mode should only be used in a controlled, indoor environment.
UV and IR Sensor Sensitivity Settings: Both the UV and IR detectors can be
individually programmed to operate in one of four sensitivity settings; Low,
Medium, High or Very High.
The sensitivity level determines the maximum response distance and the
response for the UV/IR detector as a whole will be the lesser of the two.

EQ2200UVIR
Version 3.1
14-98 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
the detector is reset from the point display for the detector in the S3 software. The default is non-latching.
Oi Mode: The EQ2200UVIR includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi)
feature — a performance test that is automatically performed to verify
complete detector operation capabilities.
No testing with an external test lamp is required. The detector automatically performs the same test that a maintenance person with a test lamp
would perform —once every minute, 60 times per hour. However, a successful automatic oi test does not produce an alarm condition.
While the default Oi test frequency is once a minute, it can be changed to
once an hour, every two hours, or once every four hours.
The default mode is Automatic. Manual Oi tests can be initiated from the
point display in the S3 software.
Time Delay: An input time delay can be programmed by entering a value
from 1 to 7 seconds in the provided field.
This will delay sending the fire alarm message to the EQP controller until
the fire alarm has been generated uninterrupted for the specified time.
This programmable delay can be used to filter out spurious events.
PV Deadband: A field is provided to enter the desired PV (Process Variable)
Deadband.
Normally all values are transmitted to the controller every five seconds; If
the PV changes more than the entered percentage before the five second

X5200
Ultraviolet (UV) / Infrared (IR) Optical Flame Detector
Description: The X5200 is located on the LON/SLC and provides UV/IR
Optical Flame detection capability for the Eagle Quantum Premier system.
The X5200 meets the most stringent requirements worldwide with
advanced detection capabilities and immunity to extraneous sources, combined with a superior mechanical design. The detector is equipped with
both automatic and manual oi test capability.
The detector has Division and Zone explosion-proof ratings and is suitable
for use in indoor and outdoor applications.
Configuration
Tagname: Configuration of the detector is through the “UVIR (X5200)
Flame Detector Editor...” dialog box which contains controls for manipulating all of the adjustable parameters of the detector.
This includes processing and sensitivity adjustments for both of the sensors
along with some
global settings
for alarm action,
Oi, time delays
and deadband.
The tagname at
the top of the
dialog box refers
to the flame
detector as a
whole and is the
identifier used
for programming.
Until a tagname
is entered the
detector is not
available in the S3
database for pro-
X5200
Version 3.1
14-102 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
gramming, monitoring or dynamic graphic purposes. The optional description entered in the miscellaneous text field can be used for further
describe where or how the detector is being used and can be helpful in
troubleshooting.
The X5200 features signal processing options for both the UV and IR sensors. These options determine the type of logic that the detector will use
for processing fire signals to customize the X5200 to the application.
UV DETECTOR OPTIONS: The UV detector output (measured in counts per
second) is compared to the fire threshold (the “sensitivity” setting). If the
radiant energy level from the fire exceeds the selected alarm threshold
level, the fire alarm output is activated. In every application, it is crucial to
ensure that the radiant ultraviolet energy level from the expected fire at
the required distance from the detector will exceed the selected sensitivity
level.
The UV detector in the X5200 can be programmed for “Standard” signal
processing or “Arc Rejection”.
Arc Rejection: (Recommended Factory Setting)
The Arc Rejection mode enables the detector to prevent nuisance fire
alarms caused by UV from short-duration electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge, while maintaining the ability to reliably detect the UV given off by
a flame.
Typical applications that benefit from arc rejection logic include electrostatic coating processes and uncontrolled environments where transient UV
sources can be present, such as many typical outdoor applications. Most
false alarm sources have short transient UV signatures, while fire creates a
X5200
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 14-103
long UV signature over many seconds. Most fires are detected in a few seconds.
Standard Signal Processing: Standard signal processing is recommended for
high speed suppression systems only. To allow for high speed operation,
the standard processing mode does not incorporate the arc rejection programming. This mode should only be used in a controlled, indoor environment.
IR DETECTOR OPTIONS
The IR detector in the X5200 can be programmed for; “TDSA enabled” or
both “TDSA and Quick Fire enabled” (either initiates fire alarm).
Time Domain Signal Analysis (TDSA): The TDSA signal processing technique
analyzes the input signal in real time, requiring the IR signal to flicker ran-
domly in order to recognize it as a fire condition.
Using TDSA signal processing, the X5200 ignores regularly chopped blackbody sources (occurring in areas where moving conveyors and hot objects in
proximity to one another result in a regularly chopped IR signal), because it
looks for a less uniform signal.
However, in the presence of a regularly chopped signal, the unit is more
susceptible to false alarms due to sporadic IR that functions as a trigger
when occurring in conjunction with the regularly chopped signal.
Quick Fire (High Speed): The Quick Fire (High Speed) feature can be used
in conjunction with the TDSA signal processing method.
This method overrides TDSA requirements in the event of an intense signal.
When Quick Fire is activated, the detector is capable of responding to an
intense fire signal in less than 30 milliseconds (0.030 seconds).
Using the Quick Fire feature in conjunction with TDSA signal processing
allows the detector to provide a high speed response to a large, non-flickering fire (such as in high pressure gas applications) while maintaining an
ability to respond to smaller fires.
X5200
Version 3.1
14-104 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Sensor Sensitivity Adjustments:
Both the UV and IR
sensors have individually adjustable sensitivity selections.
These settings combined with the signal
processing and arc
rejection selections
will effect how the
detector responds to
different types of
fires. For details on
the impact of these
settings on a variety
of common fuels,
refer to the X5200
Instruction manual,
Detronics number 958546.
Automatic Optical Integrity (Oi)
The X5200 includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi) feature — a calibrated performance test that is automatically performed once per minute
to verify complete detector operation capabilities. No testing with an
external test lamp is required. The detector automatically performs the
same test that a maintenance person with a test lamp would perform —
once every minute, 60 times per hour. However, a successful automatic oi
test does not produce an alarm condition.
The X5200 signals a
fault condition when
less than half of the
detection range
remains. This is indicated by the Fault
relay and is evident
by the amber color
of the LED on the
face of the detector.
The oi feature is set
to automatic as a
factory default but
can be deselected for
“manual only” operation. Manual oi
tests can be initiated
via the detectors point display in the S3 software.
X5200
Version 3.1
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 14-105
Oi Test Frequency
The default oi test
frequency is once a
minute but can be
adjusted to any
whole minute
increment up to a
maximum of ten
minutes.
Oi Test Fault
The detector automatically conducts
oi tests to check the
integrity of the
optical sensing systems. Three consecutive failed oi
tests will generate
a fault condition,
which will be indicated by the LED
on the face of the
detector turning
amber. The EQP Controller and S3 software will also annunciate this fault.
In certain environmental conditions like very heavy rain, oi test failures can
occur even though the hardware is not faulty. To compensate for this the
number of failed oi tests required to generate the fault can be adjusted
upward to a maximum of 30.
Oi Mode: The X5200 UVIR includes the Automatic Optical Integrity (oi) feature — a performance test that is automatically performed to verify complete detector operation capabilities.
Combined Settings: The bottom portion of the dialog box contains settings
for the alarm latching, Optical Integrity (Oi), input time delay and PV deadband adjustments that apply to the whole detector as opposed to a specific
sensor.
Alarm Latching Mode: The red LED on the face of the detector comes on
when in alarm and can be configured to be either latching or non-latching.
If latching is selected, following a fire detection, the LED will stay on until
the detector is reset from the point display for the detector in the S3 software. The default is non-latching.

The Eagle Quantum Premier controller is a programmable device that
requires a “user program” to be written to customize the system for the
hazard(s) being monitored.
This “user program” is developed utilizing a “Logic Editor” within the S3
software environment that provides the following facilities:
• An IEC-61131-3 style logic editor for developing logic.
• A logic simulator for testing and debugging the logic.
• The ability to download the program to the controller.
• The ability to monitor the operation of the logic “online”.
• The ability to create printed documentation of the user program.
The logic editor is accessed through the controllers configuration dialog
box. In the lower left of the “Configure a controller ...” dialog box there
is a “Logic” button. Selecting this button will launch the “Logic Editor”.

This option allows any S3 station to later “upload” the complete project
for editing or display without needing an original copy.
If this option is not selected it will be impossible for an S3 station without the original project file to view, edit or troubleshoot the program in
the controller. An attached S3 station will be able to determine the LON
makeup and provide LON and device diagnostics, but access to the controller program will not be available.
Note:
This option adds time to the build and download and is not required for
proper operation of the program.
In practice this option is usually disabled until the user program and
entire project are complete, tested and ready for service.
Minimize I/O windows on start: This option is used to control the look
and feel of the logic simulator on startup. The simulator has two I/O
windows. One is inputs and the other is outputs. When the simulator

LOGIC CREATION
The S3 Logic Editor provides a modern full featured IEC-61131-3 style
environment to generate, test and document user programmable logic for
Eagle Quantum Premier controller.
S3 utilizes the “Function Block Diagram (FBD) Language”.
FBD is a graphically oriented language that corresponds to block logic
diagrams. The elements used in this language appear as blocks wired
together to form logic circuits. The wires can communicate binary and
other types of data between FBD elements. In FBD programming, a
group of elements visibly interconnected by wires is known as a network.
An FBD diagram may contain one or more networks. In the S3 programming environment these networks can span multiple sheets within a program or function block element.

DEFINITIONS
Programs: Programs are the highest-level executable elements within an
S3 project. Programs can invoke functions or function blocks, but cannot
invoke other programs. Projects are typically partitioned into multiple
programs based on the operational requirements of an installation.
Function Blocks: In S3 a function block is an executable element that
yields one or more values and is generally used to perform repetitive
operations. Variables within a function block persist from one evaluation
of the function block to the next, so that the values calculated for one
evaluation can be used in the next. Therefore, invocation of the same function block with the same input
values may not yield the same output values.
Examples of such function blocks are timers and
counters like the Timer OFF delay (TOF).
Functions: A function is an executable element that yields exactly one
result. Unlike function blocks, variables in a function
do not persist from one evaluation to the next. An
example of a typical function is the boolean “AND”
gate. Two or more inputs are evaluated and result in a
single output.
Extensible Functions: These functions have a minimum of two (2)
inputs and can have a maximum of thirty two (32). The number of inputs
into the function can be adjusted by double clicking on it.
This will open a dialog box allowing the input number to be set and also
may allow inverting any or all of
the inputs as well
as the output.
In the AND gate
example to the
right, the default
of two non inverted inputs and a
non inverted output are shown. To change the extensible number of
inputs, click on the arrow to the right of the “Number of Inputs” field.
LOGIC EDITOR / LOGIC CREATION / DEFINITIONS
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 15-57
The “Gate Settings...” dialog box provides a scrolling
pull-down menu from
which the number of inputs
can be adjusted anywhere
between Two (2) and Thirty
Two (32).
In the examples above and
to the left, eight inputs
were selected and then
inputs Two (2), Four (4)
and Six (6) were inverted
by clicking on the “NOT
Enable” checkbox corresponding to those inputs. In addition, the output was inverted in the
same manner.
Once these selections were made, clicking on the “OK”
button closes the “Gate Settings...” window and the
reconfigured function appears as in the example to the
right.
Note the small circles on the output and input “pins”
indicate that these signals are “Inverted” from their normal state.
Non-Extensible Functions: These functions have a
single non expandable input. One example of a nonextensible function is the boolean “NOT” gate, as
shown in the example to the right. A single input with
a single output.

Placing Logic Operators on a Sheet: To develop a program the user
must be able to use the Logic Editor to place functions, function blocks,
variables, inputs and outputs on a sheet within an element and then connect them together into viable networks.
Below is an example of one of the simplest networks possible, a nonextensible function with a single input and a single output.
To create this network you must open a sheet within a created element
and place the three logic operators on the sheet and connect them together.
1. All logic operators are selected via the icons on the
“Gates Toolbar” shown above and described earlier in
this chapter.
2. Click on the “Input Variable” icon on the Gates
Toolbar.
The cursor will change to a miniature input variable
symbol when positioned within the drawing area of the
current sheet.
3. Place the Input Variable on the sheet by positioning the
mouse cursor over the sheet and clicking the left
mouse button.
The cursor will return to the “Arrow” symbol and this
tool can be used to move the placed Input Variable to
the desired location on the sheet. It may also be
moved using the arrow keys.
4. Activate the
button on the “Gates Toolbar” to open the “Function
Selection...” dialog box.
LOGIC EDITOR / LOGIC CREATION
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 15-59
5. Scroll down the list of available logical operators
(function blocks or functions) and locate the binary
“NOT” operator.
Note: If you know the name of the desired operator, it
can be located quickly by typing its name. As you
begin typing S3 will automatically reposition the scrolling list.
6. Select NOT and click “OK”.
The cursor will change to a miniature function block
symbol when positioned within the drawing area of the
current sheet.
7. Place the “NOT” function on the sheet by positioning
the mouse cursor over the sheet and clicking the left
mouse button.
The cursor will return to the “Arrow” symbol and this
tool can be used to move the placed function to the
desired location on the sheet. It may also be moved
using the arrow keys.
8. Click on the “Output Variable” icon on the Gates
Toolbar.
The cursor will change to a miniature output variable
symbol when positioned within the drawing area of the
current sheet.
3. Place the Output Variable on the sheet by positioning
the mouse cursor over the sheet and clicking the left
mouse button.
Once all three logic operators are placed on the sheet,
they must be connected together before the program
can be considered finished and ready to be compiled.

Connecting Logic Operators: Inputs, outputs, constants, functions,
function blocks, etc. can be connected to each other either directly or by
using “wires”.
In the example
to the right, connections must be made between the input, output and NOT gate.
Direct Connection: To use the “direct connect” method, use the mouse
to select the Input Variable and drag it to the right until its output connector mates with the NOT gates input connector as shown below.
At this point,
the S3 has linked
the Input Variable to the input of the NOT gate and moving the Input
Variable away with the mouse will automatically create a “wire” to keep
the connection,
as shown to the
right.
Once this connection is established, the input variable can be repositioned
anywhere left of its connection point and the connection wire will change
size and shape
to keep the connection.
Using Wires: Click on the “Wire Tool” to activate it. The cursor changes to a miniature wire tool or pencil when it is positioned anywhere within the drawing area of the sheet. This
means that wires can be drawn from one logic operator to another to connect them.
When active, the wire tool appears as in the example below. Using the
wire tool, connect the output
of the NOT gate
to the input of the Output Variable. This will complete the drawing of
this three logic
operator network.
Next, the Input Variable and Output Variable must be “linked” to an
appropriate I/O point or memory location in the controller.
LOGIC EDITOR / LOGIC CREATION
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 15-61
Linking Variables: Input and output variables must be linked to compatible field device or controller memory data. Using the three logic
operator “example network” created on the previous page, double-clicking on the “Input Variable” will open the “Input Selection...” dialog box
which provides access to the Eagle Quantum Premier’s database.
The “Input Selection...” dialog box presents the database as a hierarchical
list of sources.
Any item on the list that has a “+” before it has subordinate items and
clicking on the “+” will expand the list showing all items that make up
that category.
To the right of the list are two buttons that can “Collapse All” or “Expand
All” subordinate items in the list for easy viewing.
The first nineteen items on the list provide access to controller status
information and the globals database. The “LON” item will allow access
to all field device information, the “Relays” item is for accessing the controllers onboard relay status.

Linking Variables continued...
In the example below, the “LON” category has been expanded to reveal
the field devices and then an Eclipse Infra-Red (IR) hydrocarbon gas
detector tagged “ECL-015” has been expanded. The data available for
this device exceeds the
window length and the
list has become “scrolling” to accommodate
the expanded data.
In this example, a
“Boolean*” or “Binary”
data element named
“High Gas Alarm” has
been selected by clicking on it with the
mouse. Its selection is
noted by its text
description being
hilighted.
The “block” with a letter preceding the data
points name indicates
the “Data Type” for that
point.
The NOT gate in our
example network requires a “Binary” data type for both inputs and outputs. The “High Gas Alarm” selected meets this criteria.
Selecting the “OK” button closes the “Input Selection...” dialog box and
“links” the “ECL-015 High Gas Alarm” to the “Input Variable” of the
example network, as shown below.
*Note:
For detailed “Data Type” definitions, structures and ranges, refer to
the last page of this Chapter.

Linking Variables continued...:
The final step in completing the example network is to link the NOT
gates output variable to an appropriate point.
Double clicking on the
“Output Variable”
opens the “Output
Selection...” dialog
box.
This dialog box presents the database in the
same manner as
described on the previous page for the input
selection process.
For this example, the
LON data structure has
been expanded, a
Signal Audible Module
(SAM) with the tagname “SAM-014” has
been expanded and the
Binary data point
“Activate Continuous” for the Lamp output has been selected. Selecting
the “OK” button will close the “Output Selection...” dialog box and link
this output to the output variable as shown below.
The network is now complete, when the High Gas Alarm for ECL-016
goes “ON” the lamp controlled by SAM-014 goes “OFF”.
Using the “Comment Tool” a description can be added to
explain the purpose of the output.

Version 2.9
15-64 EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER
Wire-on-Wire: This type of connection is used when a single signal
needs to be routed to multiple destinations as in the example below.
In this example the output “Q” of a “Reset-Set (RS)” block needs to be
routed to the input of an “AND” gate, to the input of a timer (TON) and
to two output locations on SAM-014. The first connection to SAM-014’s
audible alarm is complete, the second connection to SAM-014’s visible
alarm output needs to be created.
To accomplish this type of connection the “Wire Tool” is used. Select
the “Wire Tool” and place it on an existing “wire” where a connection is

desired. Click to and drag to make the connection and create a wire.
Draw the wire from the initial wire-to-wire connection point to the input
of the desired variable.
The completed circuit will look like the example below.
If the mouse button is released while “drawing” the wire, before completing the connection, an incomplete line segment will be created. To complete this segment, use the arrow tool to click and drag the incomplete
end of the wire to its desired destination.

Combining the techniques described in the last few pages with the comprehensive standard set of S3 functions and function blocks, virtually any
kind or complexity of logic can be created quickly and easily.
The example above utilizes a binary OR, a One Shot Pulse (OSP), a binary AND, a Reset/Set (RS) and text comments to create a portion of the
protection logic for a pump room.
In some cases, the complexity of the logic being designed or just the
number of logic operators required may use more room than is available
on the selected sheet size.
In these cases, the sheet can be made larger by selecting the “Settings”
item of the “Sheets” menu. Sheet size can be increased from the minimum “A” size up to a maximum “D” size.
If once the desired sheet size has been selected more room for logic is
still required, information can be sent “between” the sheets in an element.
LOGIC EDITOR / LOGIC CREATION / VARIABLE LINKING
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER 15-67
Sheet-to-Sheet Network Linking: For very complex logic situations, it
may be necessary for a logic network to span more than one sheet. This
is fully supported and easy to implement. By assigning an “Output
Variable” to a compatible “Global Variable” memory location in the controller, the value can then be accessed on another sheet.
In the example to the below, an Input Variable was placed and linked to a
global memory point “MCOP-FA001”.
The value for this point was generated on the preceding sheet where it
was assigned to the
global database. Once
placed in the global
database, the value of
“MCOP-FA001” can be
used as an “Input
Variable” on any other
sheet in the project.

DEVICE ITEMS REFERENCE
As described earlier, inputs and outputs to the logic must be
“linked” to variables in the S3 database for the controller in
which the logic resides. As the database is “browsed” to
locate the desired variable for a LON device, controller or
memory location a very large array of device “items” are presented.
These items are listed in alphabetic
order under each
tagname in the
database.
Many of these items
are familiar, like the
standard “fire & gas”
device types “Fire
Alarm”, “Lo Gas
Alarm” etc.
Others like “Neuron
ID” and “Firmware
Version” are not.
In addition to the
standard F&G
alarms each LON device and the controller itself have a great deal
of additional status and diagnostic information that can be utilized
in logic.
The following pages of this users guide provide a reference to over
300 of these “Device Items” so that the programmer can determine
whether they could be used to enhance the user program being
worked on.

EAGLE QUANTUM CONFIGURATION
One of the supported communication port types is for the Detector
Electronics Corporation Eagle Quantum fire & gas system.
System configuration consists of three major phases.
• Identifying all of the devices on the network.
• Configuring the operating parameters of each of these devices.
• Downloading the configuration data over the network to the devices.
Prior to configuration, ensure communication with the Eagle Quantum
LCU is established. Reference the “Ports” (Section 2) area of this users
guide on establishing serial communications.
Enter the Eagle Quantum configuration screen by either double-clicking
on the port button or by selecting the port and then choosing “Configure”
from the buttons on the right of the Ports screen.
CONFIGURATION
Version 2.9
16-2
EAGLE QUANTUM
Eagle Quantum Configuration Screen: The main configuration screen
is divided into two functional areas. The top area, which has a schematic
representation of the Local Operating Network (LON™) upon which all
of the field devices reside, and the lower area which contains context sensitive buttons for accessing features and performing functions.
On a newly configured loop, as represented in the sample above, the
LON schematic has a single device, the communication gateway shown
at the upper left corner, addressed as “Node 1”. This node is automatically placed on the LON because without a gateway, no further configuration or monitoring can take place.
Button Bar Overview: There are two button bars located at the bottom
of the screen, the “Command Bar” and the “Configuration Bar”. The
Command Bar is
used to query or
directly manipulate field devices on the LON. The Configuration Bar is used to create,
delete, modify or view data about
devices on the LON.
The function of each button will be described in detail in the following
pages.
CONFIGURATION
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM
16-3
Command Bar: The command bar has eleven buttons, each of which
initiates a command to a field device to perform a certain function, return
a value, or feed “real-time” information to S3 to be displayed.
The command issued is specific to the node selected in the upper section.
In some cases, multiple nodes may be selected using either the shift-click
or drag methods and the command can be sent to all applicable nodes in
the selected set.
To initiate a command using the command bar, select either a single node
or a group of nodes, then click on the desired command button. In most
cases a progress monitor will appear and display text messages tracking
the execution of the command.
Command Definitions
Clear Memory: This command is only available when a communication
gateway is selected. It will command the gateway to delete its point configuration database. This database tells the gateway how many and what
kind of field devices are on the LON along with the individual device
configuration parameters. This command is typically used on initial
setup, or following gateway replacement, prior to downloading new LON
configuration data.
Download: Sends all configuration data from S3’s LON configuration
database to the gateway for all selected nodes. This command is typically used after changing the configuration of a node or group of nodes.
To download to all devices on the LON, de-select all nodes by clicking
between the button bar and the LON schematic and then choose
“Download”. This will cause S3 to sequentially download the configuration of all nodes, starting with 1 and ending with 250.
Edit: Displays the detailed configuration data for a single selected node.
Only one node at a time can be edited. You can also enter the edit mode
for a particular node by double-clicking on the rectangle representing the
node on the LON schematic. Detailed examples of node editing will be
shown later in this document.
CONFIGURATION SCREEN • COMMAND BAR
Version 2.9

EAGLE QUANTUM
Get Revision: Requests the software revision of the selected node. The
gateway forwards the request to the field device which returns the data to
the gateway and then on to S3. This feature is used to verify software
revision levels in field devices. Different revision levels of the same type
of device may have different features and capabilities.
Get RTC: Requests the “Real Time Clock” data from the communication gateway. The gateway will return the current date and time, according to its internal clock. Verify this date and time against that of the S3
station for accuracy. If it is not the same as the S3 station, use the Set
RTC command described later to correct the discrepancy.
Get Voltage: Requests the 24vdc input supply voltage of the selected
node. This feature can be used in troubleshooting power distribution
problems.
Point Display: Shows detailed information about a selected node including status and diagnostics, alarm history, calibration history and trend,
and if applicable the current analog value.
Point Number: Allows a node on the LON schematic to be given a different address. This is typically used when like nodes are copy & pasted
to preserve a particular set of configuration parameters. After the paste
function, the “new” node may have an incorrect address and it must then
be changed.
Reset Module: Forces a soft “re-boot” of the selected field device.
Set RTC: Sends the current date and time of the S3 station to the communication gateway, synchronizing them. Since the field devices all use
the gateways date and time pulse when storing their own alarm and calibration data, it is important that it match the clock used by S3 station for
event monitoring and tracking.
Upload: Queries the communication gateway for configurations of
selected nodes and then takes this data and updates S3’s database.
CONFIGURATION SCREEN • COMMAND BAR
Version 2.9
EAGLE QUANTUM

Configuration Bar: The configuration bar has eight buttons, each of
which is used in the configuration of LON devices.
Configuration Definitions
Arrange: This button allows the re-arrangement of the nodes on the
LON schematic for the purpose of matching the physical and logical
order of the network. The LON address of each node has nothing to do
with the order in which the network is wired.
On the network schematic shown in the upper section of the configuration screen, the node order is shown numerically. Node 1 being the gateway, followed sequentially by nodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ....etc. In the plant, it’s
entirely possible that “Node 5” may wire to “Node 20” and the overall
order could be 1, 5, 20, 21, 23 ... etc.
The “Arrange” button allows you to move the location of the nodes on
the schematic representing the LON to match the actual way the LON is
wired in the field. This is an important step for ease of future LON troubleshooting.
To use the “Arrange” function, click on the button and drag the nodes
into their desired locations. To move a node, click and drag it over the
area between the two nodes where you would like it to be, then release
the mouse button. The node will then be moved to this location but
retain its original address.
Copy: Used in conjunction with the “Paste” command, “Copy” allows a
nodes configuration to be duplicated elsewhere on the LON while retaining the configuration data. This is very useful when there are to be many
nodes of the same type and configuration on a LON. The detailed configuration only needs to be done once, then copy and paste as many as
needed with only the new nodes tag name and address needing to be
manually entered.
Delete: Removes a selected node from the LON configuration.
CONFIGURATION SCREEN • CONFIGURATION BAR
Version 2.9

Display Type: A “toggle button” that allows either the default Node
Number to be displayed on the LON schematic, as shown in the example
below, or the device type.
When the “Display Type” button is selected, the LON schematic will
substitute the device type for the node number, as shown below.
When the device type is being displayed, the button on the configuration
bar will toggle to say “Display Number”, and when selected shifts the
LON schematic display back to the default Node Number view.
Find: Displays a dialog
box that allows the configuration database to be
searched for specific types
of field devices, a specific
node address, or specific
text. Items found matching
the search criteria are highlighted in blue on the LON
schematic.
This is particularly useful
when trying to find a specific tag name on very large
systems with hundreds of
points.

New Device: Opens the “Select Point Type” dialog box from which you
can choose the type of new device to add to the LON.
In the example above, “Initiating Device Circuit (IDC)” has been selected. The selected choice will be displayed in the lower center of the dialog box, along with the button for the selected choice being outlined.
At this point, selecting the “OK” button would add an IDC to the LON,
just after the last configured device.
In addition, the configuration dialog box
for the selected point type is displayed.
This dialog box provides access to all of
the programmable parameters for the
selected device type. In the example to the
right, an IDC was selected and the configuration parameters for this device type are
shown. Details on the configuration of
each individual device type will be covered
later, but first, all device types have some
common setup procedures that must be followed. The IDC example will be used to

explore these configuration steps. At the
bottom of the example “Configure IDC”
dialog box are a group of buttons. These
buttons are found on all LON device configuration screens. They are:
Alarms, Tagname, Graphic Trigger, Default
OK and Cancel.
Alarms: The alarm button will open a dialog box displaying all of the preconfigured
alarms and events that are applicable for
the type of device being configured. In most cases this equates to sixteen
discrete alarms and events.
In the example above, the “Factory Default” event configuration for an
IDC is automatically configured. Other devices will show their specific
default event configurations.
These events can be selectively enabled or disabled by use of check
boxes on the left-most side of the dialog box. The default event name is
displayed and can be edited if desired.

To the right of the name are a variety of self explanatory configurable
selections accessed by check box or pull-down menu.
The selection of the checkboxes P,D,W,AC, determine if the event will be
routed to the Printer, Daily Log File or Event Window.
Auto Clear: The AC or “Auto Clear” selection determines whether the
logged event will track the real time occurrence of the event or when the
operator acknowledgement is factored in.
If the AC checkbox is not selected, which is the default, when an event
occurs it will be logged to the appropriate locations, as configured by the
P, D, W selections, with the date and time of occurrence. When the event
returns to its normal state, nothing will happen until the operator activates
the “Acknowledge” button. The system will then log the date and time of
the event returning to “Normal”. In reality it’s logging the first time the
operator activates the Acknowledge button after the event has returned to
normal.
If the AC checkbox is selected, when an event occurs it will be logged to
the appropriate locations, as configured by the P, D, W selections, with
the date and time of occurrence. When the event returns to its normal
state, the system will then log the date and time of the event returning to
“Normal”.
Sound: Each event may have
a sound attached to it which
plays when the event occurs,
until the Acknowledge button
is actuated. The sound can be
the default “Warning” or any
of sixty three custom sounds.
Use the pull down menu to
select the desired sound.

Graphic Trigger: When a system is being
configured that utilizes “Online Graphics”
the graphic trigger configuration for each
device determines how the symbol representing the device will respond when ever
it changes state.
Each Eagle Quantum device has four
potential states. Listed in order of increasing precedence they are; Normal, New
Fault, Fault, New Alarm, Alarm.
Each of these states can have a color combination assigned to the symbol
representing a field device in the online graphics. This is done within the
graphic editor, described elsewhere.
The key to this capability resides in the configuration of the Graphic
Trigger.
The graphic trigger configuration dialog box displays a list of the sixteen
status and diagnostic elements that S3 can track for the selected device
type, in this case an IDC. These elements must be placed into one of the
thee columns, Not Used, Alarm, and Fault. This will determine what
constitutes an alarm, a fault, or has no effect on the online graphic element.
To reposition the elements from one column to another, simply click and

Communication Gateway: The “Gateway” is the
first device on any Eagle Quantum Local Operating
Network (LON). This device is used to connect the
S3 Operator Interface Station (OIS) to the LON for
configuration and monitoring purposes.
The configuration for all of the LON devices is first
created and stored in the S3 configuration database,
then downloaded to the Gateway, which in turn
downloads this information to the field devices where
it is stored in their non-volatile memory.
A copy of the configuration data is also stored in the gateways own nonvolatile memory.
When an Eagle Quantum port is first
created, the LON schematic is empty
except for a “node rectangle” representing the Gateway, as shown in the example to the right.
The node rectangle is divided in half horizontally with the tag name in
the top and node address in the bottom. S3 has assigned <1:1> as a
temporary tag name. This is replaced by the user assigned tag name as
described in the “Point Configuration • Common Settings” section of this
users guide.
Double-clicking on the node rectangle, or single clicking on it and choosing “Edit” button from the command bar, will open the “Configure
Quantum Gateway” dialog box.
COMMUNICATION GATEWAY CONFIGURATION
Version 2.9

EAGLE QUANTUM
This dialog box contains all of the configuration parameters for the gateway.
Most of the dialog box pertains to the configuration of the four onboard
programmable relays. These 5 amp form-C relays can be configured to
perform a simple “OR” voting function on a contiguous group of LON
devices.
All relays can be configured to be energized or de-energized in normal
operation. Gateway relay operation is independent of the OIS.
Relay Configuration: There are four vertical columns, one for each
relay, on the left side of the dialog box. Each column has sixteen check
boxes, one for each of the possible pieces of status or diagnostic information available for a field device. To the right of these columns is a
description of what each check box represents. In the example above, an
IDC is selected from the device pull-down menu. You can select any
type of available device to display its unique parameters. Typically these
relays are used for “like” types of nodes.

In the default configuration the box is un-checked and the relay coil is
de-energized until the conditions
matching its configuration are
met.

configuration has a zero in both causing the relay to be non-functional.
In the example to the right,
Relay 1 has been configured to
have a starting address of 10 and
an ending address of 20, inclusive. In this configuration, any
node in that range which meets
the criteria determined by the
check boxes in that column will
cause the relay coil to energize.
In this example, Relay 1 is configured to respond to either “Input 1
Active” OR “Input 2 Active”.
Only Input 1 or Input 2 being
“ON” for any node between 10
and 20 will cause the relay to
change state.
Repeat this configuration process
for all four relays.
Note: In addition, at the bottom
of the dialog box is a checkbox
(not shown) for the operation of
the fault relay. Set as required!
COMMUNICATION GATEWAY CONFIGURATION
Version 2.9

EAGLE QUANTUM
Port Configuration: The gateway has two serial communication ports
that can be used for connecting to other systems. These
ports are very flexible and
depending on the hardware
dipswitch settings and software settings can be used in
a variety of configurations. Port 1 can be configured as either a Modbus
RTU slave, or for the Allen-Bradley DF-1 protocol.
If configured as a Modbus port, the default station address in the S3 software is “1”. If another station address is required, both the software and
hardware dipswitch S7 must be configured to match.
If configured for DF-1, you must set the AB File Number (Default is 20
as shown in the example above).
Port 2 can be configured as either a Modbus RTU slave, or as a Modbus
RTU master. If configured as a master
( refer to Eagle Quantum hardware
manual for appropriate dipswitch settings ) the gateway will continuously
send a copy of its datatables to the
specified Modbus station address.
In addition, you may specify an offset in the destination devices memory.
The default is 0 which equates to a destination address of 40000. As an
example, if you enter an offset of 10, the starting destination address
would become 40010.
Auto Configuration: Below the serial port configuration area is a
checkbox labeled Auto Configuration.
When selected, the gateway will automatically download configuration data
to any new device that comes online,
provided its configuration resides in the
S3 database. This feature is designed to
make replacing failed units “automatic” since no operator action is
required. With auto configuration, simply set the address DIP switches
on the new device to the same settings as the one it is replacing, remove
the old unit, install the replacement unit and power it up. The gateway
will download the configuration automatically after device powerup.

Initiating Device Circuit (IDC) module
Dual supervised input circuits
IDC’s have two independent supervised
digital inputs. Each input has an individually configurable “Mode Control” setting which determines if the input will
report as an Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory
or Other.
Alarm: Creates a “Fire Alarm” signal
which is indicated on the logic controller
by both audible and visible means.
Trouble: Creates a “Trouble” signal
which is indicated on the logic controller
by both audible and visible means.
Supervisory: Creates a “Supervisory” signal which is indicated on the
logic controller by both audible and visible
means.
Other: Has no visible or audible indication.
Regardless of which mode the input is operating in, it may be used in user configured logic
to do a variety of functions.
Update Rate: Displayed and set in milliseconds, the value in this field determines how
often the IDC will send its periodic reports.
The default value is 5000 (5 seconds) and is
typically adequate. A change of state in one of
the input channels is always sent immediately.

Ultraviolet (UV) Optical Flame Detector
The EQ220UV Series UV Flame
Detector contains a UV sensor module
and control circuitry in an explosion
proof, watertight enclosure. The detector
is equipped with both automatic and
manual optical integrity test capability.
Adjustable parameters for this detector
include the Processing Mode, Optical
Integrity (Oi) Mode, Latching Mode, Arc
Rejection, Sensitivity, and Time Delay.
Processing Mode: Select either
Standard or Arc Rejection.
Standard Mode is recommended for
applications where background electrostatic energy has been verified to be absent.
Arc Rejection enables the detector to
prevent nuisance fire alarms caused by
UV from short-duration electrical arcs or
electrostatic discharge, while maintaining the ability to
reliably detect the UV given off by a flame. The arc rejection mode is
not recommended unless these false alarm sources are present within the
application to be protected.
Oi Mode: The Oi system uses an internally generated UV
test signal to determine the relative condition of the detector and its optical surfaces. If automatic Oi testing is selected, the Oi test
is automatically performed once every minute. The automatic Oi test

does not generate an alarm output or interfere with normal detector operation.
The manual Oi test is initiated using a
button on the Point Display screen on
the S3 Operator Interface Station (OIS).
The manual test can be used in addition
to the automatic Oi to verify correct
operation of relays, LEDs and field
wiring.
Note: The Point Display screen can be
accessed from within the configuration
environment by selecting the point on
the LON schematic and then selecting
the Point Display button on the
Command Bar at the bottom left of the
screen.
Latching Mode: When latching mode is selected, the fire alarm signal is
cleared by removing input power for a minimum of 0.1 seconds, or, by
selecting the “Reset Output” button on the devices Point Display.
Sensitivity: Whether the Standard or Arc Rejection mode is selected, the
sensitivity setting must always be programmed. The selected sensitivity
level determines the fire alarm threshold setpoint. The higher the sensitivity level, the greater the detection range, but the possibility of false
alarms will be increased. Four sensitivity levels are selectable.
The sensitivity setting must be appropriate for the anticipated fire size at
the required distance from the detector.
Time Delay: An time delay, adjustable from 0 - 7 seconds, can be
applied and depending on the processing mode will perform as follows;
Standard Mode - A fire output is generated only if the fire signal exceeds
the sensitivity setting for the entire duration of the programmed time
delay.
Arc Rejection Mode - If the fire signal meets the programmed arc rejection requirements, the time delay begins. A fire output is generated if the
fire signal continues for the duration of the time delay.

Signal Audible Module (SAM)
Dual supervised output circuits
The EQ2500SAM series Signal
Audible Module (SAM) provides
two indicating circuits for controlling UL Listed 24 vdc polarized
audible/visual indicating appliances.
The device is located on the
LON/SLC and is controlled by programmable logic in the Eagle
Quantum’s Logic Controller.
Each output circuit is independently
programmable to allow annunciation of separate events. In release applications, signal outputs can be programmed to provide signaling for prerelease, release or post-release. Each output can be individually activated
for any one of the following pre-defined coded outputs:
1. Continuous until reset
2. 60 beats per minute
3. 120 beats per minute
4. Temporal pattern.
These coded outputs are only accessible in user created logic, within the
Eagle Quantum Logic Controller.
Destination Address: A SAM can only report to and be controlled by a
single Logic Controller. Enter the address for the logic controller designated to control the SAM in the field provided (Address 1).
Mode Control: SAM outputs can be latching or non-latching. Nonlatching follows the condition of the user programmed logic. Latching
requires a keyswitch reset of the logic controller it reports to.

release capability for the Eagle
Quantum system.
The device is controlled by programmable logic in the Logic
Controller and can be programmed
for “Single,” “Cross” or “Counting”
Zone Style initiation.
Optional time delay, abort and manual release sequences allow the output to be programmed for use in
unique applications.
The Agent Release Module can monitor and control two output devices
(rated for 24 vdc), which are energized together. The release circuits are
compatible with a variety of solenoid or initiator (squib) based suppression systems. The release circuit is supervised for open circuit conditions. If a trouble condition occurs (open circuit or solenoid supply voltage less than 19 volts), it will be indicated at the LCU.
Destination Address: An ARM can only report to and be controlled by a
single Logic Controller. Enter the address for the logic controller designated to control the ARM in the field provided (Address 1).
Mode Control: ARM outputs can be latching or non-latching. Nonlatching follows the condition of the user programmed logic. Latching

Ultraviolet (UV) / Infrared (IR) Optical Flame Detector
The EQ2200UVIR Series Flame Detector is designed to provide reliable
fire protection in applications where the use of either ultraviolet (UV) or
infrared (IR) detectors alone can result in false alarms.
The microprocessor based EQ2200UVIR combines both a UV and a single frequency IR sensor in a single detector and requires simultaneous
response of both sensors to generate a fire alarm. These two detecting
elements monitor different portions of the radiation spectrum and have
virtually no common sources of false alarms. This enables the detector to
respond to a real fire while ignoring potential false alarm sources such as
arc welding, x-rays, or hot vibrating objects.
Microprocessor based circuitry located inside the detector junction box
continuously monitors the two sensors, evaluating the signal(s) with fire
and fault algorithms to determine the current status of the detector. When
both sensors simultaneously detect the presence of fire, the microprocessor generates a fire signal, which is immediately sent over the LON/SLC
to the logic controller in the Local Control Unit (LCU).
Detector Output: The output of the device is a status message that is sent
to the gateway and logic controller in the LCU along the communication
loop. System response to the message is determined at the time of configuration. The detector supports ANSI/NFPA 72 Class A, Style 7 communication with the LCU.

The UVIR detector is a very sophisticated unit with a variety of
adjustable parameters for each of its main sensors, in addition to its combined and common settings. These adjustable parameters are all accessible through the “Configure UV/IR Detector” dialog box, shown below.
Processing Mode: The UV portion of the detector offers a choice of two
different types of logic that can be used for processing
fire signals — either standard or arc rejection.
Standard Mode: In the standard processing
mode, the UV sensor output (measured in
counts per second) is compared to the fire
threshold (the “sensitivity” setting as
described below). If the radiant energy
level from the fire exceeds the selected
alarm threshold level, the time delay

begins (if a time delay is selected). If the
radiant energy level from the fire remains
above the selected sensitivity level for the
duration of the time delay, a fire alarm
signal is generated. In every application,
it is crucial to ensure that the radiant
energy level from the expected fire at the
required distance from the detector will
exceed the selected sensitivity level.
Standard signal processing is recommended for applications where background electrostatic energy has been verified to be absent.
Arc Rejection Mode: The arc rejection mode enables the detector to prevent nuisance fire alarms caused by short-duration electrical arcs or electrostatic discharge, while maintaining the ability to reliably detect a
flame. The arc rejection mode is not recommended unless these false
alarm sources are present within the application to be protected.
Typical applications that benefit from arc rejection logic include any
uncontrolled environments where transient radiation sources can be present, such as many typical outdoor applications.
The arc rejection algorithm examines the radiant energy level detected
within a specified unit of time (timed gate). The output of the detector is
determined by three variables:
— sensitivity level
— gate length
— number of consecutive gates required.
Different combinations of these variables allow for various levels of transient arc rejection capability. There are two arc rejection levels (medium
and high) that are selectable for the detector through the OIS. The proper
arc rejection setting for a given application must be determined through
testing.
It is recommended that each detector be thoroughly tested at the programmed arc rejection setting within the ambient conditions that will be
present during normal operation. This will help to ensure that the selected
arc rejection setting is proper for the application.
Sensitivity: Whether the Standard or Arc Rejection mode is selected, the

sensitivity setting must always be programmed. The selected sensitivity
level determines the fire alarm threshold setpoint. The higher the sensitivity level, the greater the detection range, but the possibility of false
alarms will be increased. Four sensitivity levels are selectable.
(Sensitivity levels for UV and IR are selected separately.)
The sensitivity setting must be appropriate for the anticipated fire size at
the required distance from the detector. Refer to the “Specifications” section of the Det-Tronics Eagle Quantum instruction manual for additional
information.
Time Delay: A time delay from 0 to 7 seconds is selectable.
Standard Mode: A fire output is generated only if the fire signal exceeds
the sensitivity setting for the entire duration of the programmed time
delay.
Arc Rejection Mode: If the fire signal meets the programmed arc rejection requirements, the time delay begins. A fire output is generated if the
fire signal continues for the duration of the time delay.
Automatic or Manual oi: The EQ2200UVIR is equipped with the
Optical Integrity (oi) feature. The oi test is performed on both the UV
and IR sensors to check the cleanliness of the detector optics, as well as
the proper functioning of the sensors and electronic components of the
detector.
If a problem should occur, it is quickly detected. The detector is user programmable (from the OIS) for automatic oi testing. If automatic testing is
selected, the oi test is automatically performed on each sensor.
The rate for the UV sensor test is once per minute. The rate for the IR
sensor is field selectable from once a minute to once every four hours.
If a fault is detected, a trouble signal is sent to the LCU over the
LON/SLC. A fault condition is indicated at the logic controller and the
gateway and also by the LEDs on the detector’s UV sensor.
The automatic oi test does not generate an alarm output or interfere with
normal detector operation.

A successful test is signaled by the OIS. The manual oi test can be used
in addition to automatic oi to verify correct detector operation.
NOTE The manual oi test does not generate an alarm output or actuate
any system outputs.

alarm signal is present until cleared by a reset command from the OIS.
