1 General
1.1 Purpose
The ADW 511A is a line type heat detector with rate-of-rise and/or maximum temperature response be-
haviour. Because of its self-test and the periodic automatic debugging, the ADW 511A is particularly
suitable for use in applications where the prevailing circumstances make it impossible or difficult to carry
out the legally prescribed function and service tests.
The ADW 511A is available in the following versions:
ADW 511A, the standard version for lock-on by means of alarm/end-of-line resistor, or alarm trans-
mitter on collective and single detection lines.
ADW 511A-1, version with integrated pre-wired SCI 82 module for direct connection to the SecuriLine
addressable loop of SecuriPro FAS (additional installation by means of installation set possible).
ADW 511A-2, version with integrated pre-wired BX-OI3-module for direct connection to the Se-
curiLine / Integral addressable loop (additional installation not

1.3 Potential applications
Thanks to the particularly good characteristics under extreme ambient conditions, the ADW 511A is used
wherever there are likely to be operational problems owing to latent disturbance variables and therefore
optimal protection can no longer be ensured with conventional point detectors. These are, for example:
Road tunnels, railway tunnels and subway tunnels
Paint spraying and coating lines, explosion zones, chemical industry, etc.
Loading ramps, tank farms, underground mining
Indoor car parks, vehicle decks on ships
The response behaviour of the ADW 511A is designed on the basis of EN 54 Part 5, class A1 to G.

With the use of alarm transmitters, line monitors, etc. specific to the control panel, the ADW 511A can be
connected practically without limit to all conventional fire alarm systems via its potential-free change-over
contacts.

1.6 Hardware / Software
The hardware comprises the complete evaluation unit ADW 511A and all modules belonging to ADW,
such as SENSTUBE (sensor tube network) and assembly material.
The ADW 511A contains a socket-connected EPROM with the operating software. For any subsequent
versions of the operating SW, a new, programmed EPROM can be obtained from the manufacturer and
replaced in the ADW 511A. An EEPROM is present for storing or saving any system-specific parameters
and various event measurements.
The manufacturer of ADW 511A has software for configuring system-specific set-ups by PC. The PC
software may only be used by the manufacturer or by persons instructed by the manufacturer. The PC
software does not form part of the delivery of the ADW 511A. This SW will be released only to instructed
and licensed persons in consultation with the manufacturer of the ADW 511A. The description of the PC
software does not form part of this documentation.
Both the HW and the SW must be compatible with one another. The SW version valid for the ADW 511A

2 Function
2.1 General operating principle
The mode of operation of the ADW 511A is based on the expansion of the volume of a gas as a result of
heating in a pneumatically tight system and on the associated pressure increase. If the pressure in the
SENSTUBE (sensor tube network) increases to the values defined by the ADW 511A software (time
condition / pressure limit in mbar), the system triggers an alarm.

2.2 Pneumatic operating principle
The pneumatically tight system is formed by the sensor tube, which is mounted locally in the area to be
monitored and is sealed at its end with an end screw cap. The sensor tube is connected to evaluation
unit ADW 511A, in which the pneumatic line is connected to a fully electronic pressure sensor and to the
mechanical debugging device (support). Normal ambient air is present in the total pneumatic volume.
The mechanical debugging device consists of a gear motor with a pressure pump.

2.3 Electric operating principle
2.3.1 Power supply
The power supply (input voltage 10.5 to 30 V-DC) is via a fuse on a switching controller. The latter pro-
vides an internal switching voltage (8 V-DC) for sensor circuit and gear motor. The internal switching
voltage (V-CC, 5 V-DC) for processor, memory modules, driver modules, relays and displays is gener-
ated from the switching controller by means of a longitudinal controller.

2.3.2 Computer
The entire program and switching sequence is controlled by a micro controller. An EPROM is available
for storing the operating SW, and an EEPROM for storing the system-specific parameters and event
measurements.

ADW 511A
T 139 420 f E

2.3.3 Watchdog
A watchdog circuit is installed for monitoring the computer circuit. In the event of an incorrect program
sequence, the circuit responds and causes a watchdog reset. As a result of the watchdog reset, the
ADW 511A is reinitialised and a watchdog reset counter is set. If a watchdog reset occurs frequently, a
fault is triggered.

2.3.4 Programming / Operation
The ADW 511A is equipped with a 16-digit rotary switch (program selector) for operation. By means of
the program selector, it is possible to call up the permanently programmed basic settings (positions 1 to
7) or various test functions for commissioning and service (positions A to 0). The positions 8 and
9 are likewise provided with predefined basic settings. However, in contrast to the positions 1 to 7,
they can be freely configured subsequently, i.e. they serve as an access path of system-specific pro-
grams via PC (see information).
A jumper (jumper Reset) is used for triggering a hardware reset.

Information
Important: If, after system-specific reprogramming of position 8 or 9, the firmware basic
setting is to be restored, this can be done only via a PC.
During normal operation, one of the above-mentioned basic settings 1 to 7 (to 9) must
be set. If the program selector is in a test function position, the set test function will be trig-
gered on switching on or after a reset. Fire control installations, alarm transmission
The test function positions A to 0 are positions prohibited for normal operation and trigger a fault
approx. 13 min after completion of the set test function.

2.3.5 Outputs / Inputs / Interface
The ADW 511A has three relays with potential-free changeover contacts with the following allocation:
Relay
Function, event
Permanent allocation Programmable via PC
Alarm Differential alarm
Maximum alarm
None
Fault Fault Leak
Fault Constriction
Fault General
Incorrect commissioning
None
Reserve None All events
Pre alarm preferred
The External reset input is designed as a potential-free input (optocoupler). It can be actuated on both
the plus and the minus side. The input operates in the range from 10 to 30 V-DC. On application of a
continuous signal, the ADW 511A is switched to the active state (general fault after approx. 20 s).

Danger information
Before a reset of the ADW 511A, it is imperative that there is a delay time of at least 2 s
The ADW has a serial interface RS 232 for connection of a PC (logging, configuration).

The events are displayed by means of three LEDs. Depending on the function, the LEDs light up indi-
vidually or in combination or flash in different patterns (also see section 8.5).

2.3.7 Differential response behaviour
The pressure sensor continuously measures the absolute pressure in the sensor tube. The sensor sig-
nals are mathematically evaluated by the microprocessor and can thus be used for computational proc-
essing and determination of the differential response behaviour. If the pressure increases in the time de-
fined by the software (mbar/s), the ADW 511A triggers a differential alarm . Disturbance variables,
e.g. slow pressure changes or pressure surges (weather-related temperature fluctuations, high traffic
density in road tunnels), are filtered as a function of time and do not trigger an alarm. The response
sensitivity can be adjusted by means of the software.

2.3.8 Maximum response behaviour
The maximum response evaluation of the ADW 511A is designed so that the pressure value which cor-
responds to a certain maximum temperature triggers an alarm. Slow, steadily increasing pressure values
over a relatively long period which are not within the detection range of the differential evaluation (e.g. T
=40 C/h; overheating of an oven) are thus evaluated as maximum alarm when a certain limit is
reached. A temperature sensor in the evaluation unit continuously measures the current ambient tem-
perature and serves to compensate the maximum evaluation. When a temperature of approx. 70 C in-
side the evaluation unit is exceeded, this temperature sensor also triggers a temperature sensor alarm
(also see section 2.3.10.4).

2.3.9 Debugging procedure

Information
The determination of the reference value during commissioning of the ADW 511A is essen-
tial for correct functioning of the leak/constriction debugging procedure by means of an ini-
tial reset (also see section 2.3.13.2).
The debugging device is automatically actuated at regular intervals and generates an exactly defined ex-
cess pressure in the sensor tube (reference value). A testing interval of 8 hours is standard in the ADW
511A. The testing interval can, if required, be changed to 1, 2 or 4 hours to meet user requirements
(manufacturer or PC).
The particular deviation from the reference value provides the following information about the sensor
tube or the pneumatic system:
No pressure increase (below reference value)
- Sensor tube is open or not connected.
- Pressure pump is defective.
- Gear motor is defective.
Pressure increase too small (below ref. value)
- Leak in sensor tube.
Pressure increase too high (above ref. value)
- Constriction in sensor tube, instantaneous
sensor tube length no longer corresponds
to the installed tube length.

ADW 511A
T 139 420 f E

If the required reference value is not reached in the testing procedure, the ADW 511A starts a second
testing procedure after a waiting time of 30 min. It is not until a negative result according to the above-
mentioned points is obtained after the second testing procedure that a fault is triggered on the
ADW 511A. If on the other hand the reference value is reached after the first testing procedure, the
ADW 511A switches to normal operation after it has expired.
The repetition rate of the testing procedure can be programmed for 4 x up to fault by means of a PC.
The waiting time between the individual tests then corresponds in each case to the length of the test in-
terval actually set (1, 2, 4 or 8 h). This option can be programmed for applications in extreme environ-
ments with considerable disturbance variables.
If a fire occurs during a testing procedure, the ADW 511A triggers an Differential alarm only after the
end of the procedure. However, it is essential that there is still a pressure increase in the specified range
(according to section 2.3.7).The triggering of an Maximum alarm is also ensured during the testing pro-
cedure.

2.3.10 Alarm types

Information
The ADW 511A has a standard program defined by the manufacturer. This also stipulates
the allocation of the alarm types described below to the relays and displays present in the
unit. In the event of any changes of the ADW 511A parameters by means of PC, this alloca-
tion is retained.

2.3.10.1 Differential alarm
If the measured values described in section 2.3.7 and/or 2.3.10.4 are reached, the ADW 511A triggers a
differential alarm. The Alarm relay trips (contact switches from Te. 12/11 to 12/10) and the display
lights up permanently. In addition the open collector actuates alarm output. This state remains until a
reset (see under Types of reset). The relay and LED allocation of the differential alarm event is fixed
and cannot be changed.

2.3.10.2 Maximum alarm
If the measured values described in section 2.3.8 and/or 2.3.10.4 are reached, the ADW 511A triggers a
maximum alarm. The Alarm relay trips (contact switches from Te 12/11 to 12/10) and the ALARM
MAX display lights up permanently. In addition the open collector actuates Alarm output. This state
remains until a reset (see under Types of reset). The relay and LED allocation of the maximum alarm
event is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.10.3 Differential / Maximum pre-alarm
The ADW 511A has a pre-alarm evaluation. This is not enabled in the standard set-up. If required, the
pre-alarm evaluation can be programmed and defined by means of a PC. The range from 10 to 90 % of
the maximum alarm and/or differential alarm value can be chosen as the pre-alarm quantity (in 10 %
steps). The differential pre-alarm and/or the maximum pre-alarm actuates the Reserve relay on the
basis of a common criterion. In addition the open collector actuates Reserve output. The respective
LED ALARM DIFF and/or ALARM MAX flashes as an optical indication.

2.3.10.4 Temperature sensor alarm
When a temperature of approx. 70 C inside the evaluation unit is exceeded, the compensation tempera-
ture sensor also triggers a temperature sensor alarm . The trigger threshold is permanently defined at
approx. 70 C and cannot be changed. The alarm differential and maximum alarm criteria are both actu-
ated together (see section 2.3.10.1 and 2.3.10.2).

2.3.11 Types of fault

Information
The ADW 511A has a standard program defined by the manufacturer. This also stipulates
the allocation of the fault types described below to the relays and displays present in the
unit. In the event of any changes of the ADW 511A parameters by means of PC, this allo-
cation is retained.
The fault relay with fixed allocation has been energized in the quiescent state Con-
tact Te. 15/13 closed, 15/14 open (ADW 511A under voltage; no fault event pre-sent).

2.3.11.1 Fault: Leak
If the required reference value is not reached in a debugging procedure (according to section 2.3.9, De-
bugging procedure), the ADW 511A triggers a fault: leak. The Fault relay trips (contact switches from
Te. 15/13 to 15/14) and the FAULT display flashes in the ratio 1:1. In addition the open collector actu-
ates fault output. This state remains until a reset (see under Types of reset). The relay and LED al-
location of the leak fault event is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.11.2 Fault: Constriction
If the required reference value is exceeded in a debugging procedure (according to section 2.3.9, De-
bugging procedure), the ADW 511A triggers a fault: constriction. The Fault relay trips (contact
switches from Te. 15/13 to 15/14) and the FAULT display flashes in the ratio 3:1. In addition the open
collector actuates fault output. This state remains until a reset (see under Types of reset). The relay
and LED allocation of the constriction fault event is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.11.3 Fault: Pneumatic
If the required reference value is not reached in a debugging procedure (according to section 2.3.9, De-
bugging procedure), the ADW 511A triggers a fault: general (Fault: Pneumatic). The Fault relay trips
(contact switches from Te. 15/13 to 15/14) and the FAULT display lights up permanently. In addition
the open collector actuates fault output. This state remains until a reset (see under Types of reset).
The relay and LED allocation of the general fault event is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.11.4 Fault: Program selector
If, according to section 2.3.4, the program selector is in a position impermissible for normal operation,
the ADW 511A triggers an incorrect commissioning fault (program selector fault). The Fault relay
triggers (contact switches from Te. 15/13 to 15/14) and the displays ALARM DIFF , ALARM MAX
and FAULT flash in the ratio 3:1. In addition the open collector actuates fault output. This state re-
mains until a reset (see under Types of reset). The relay and LED allocation of the incorrect commis-
sioning fault is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.11.5 Fault: Watchdog reset (Fatal Error)
When the watchdog reset counter according to section 2.3.3 reaches its final reading, the ADW 511A
triggers a general fault (fatal error). The Fault relay trips (contact switches from Te. 15/13 to 15/14)
and the FAULT display lights up permanently. In addition the open collector actuates fault output.
This state remains until a reset (see under Types of reset). The relay and LED allocation of the general
fault event is fixed and cannot be changed.

2.3.12 Event memory
As soon as an event (pre-alarm, alarm or fault) is triggered, the associated event type and the system
state (Pre-alarm, Alarm Diff., Alarm Max., Fault, general settings, etc.) are saved to the EEPROM in the
event memory. The event memory has six memory locations which are occupied in succession depend-
ing on the time of occurrence of the event. If a seventh event occurs, the event which first occurred is
discarded. The event memory can be cleared only by means of an initial reset or an acknowledgement
via PC (also see section 2.3.13).
The event memory can be scanned only by means of a PC. The event memory is occupied even in the
absence of a PC.

A further possibility for recording events is via a PC. A record mode on the PC is used for recording the
pressure curve in the SENSTUBE over a relatively long period (long-term measurements).

2.3.13 Types of reset
All events triggered on the ADW 511A invariably go into self-hold. There are various possibilities for re-
setting.

2.3.13.1 Hardware reset
A hardware reset is triggered with:
a) Disconnection of the supply voltage
b) Actuation of the External reset input
c) Reset via PC
d) Short-term bridging of the Reset jumper

Information
If the program selector is in a test function position when the Reset jumper is bridged,
the test function set is triggered after the reset.
Fire control installations, alarm transmission
Data stored in the event memory are not cleared by the hardware reset.

2.3.13.2 Initial reset
An initial reset is triggered by bringing the rotary switch to the position 0 (function start after 3 s inde-
pendent). As a result of the initial reset, the basic data (e.g. connected sensor tube volume) are deter-
mined and stored in the ADW 511A. These data remain stored until a further initial reset is performed.

Information
It is essential to perform an initial reset during commissioning and after changes to the
sensor tube (length, reparations).
If the sensor tube is already connected to the evaluation unit, it must be de-aerated be-
fore the initial reset. For that purpose the sensor tubing fitting on the exterior of the
evaluation unit is opened for approx. 3 min and then firmly closed (with a fork wrench).
When carrying out an initial reset, it is necessary to be certain that there is no constriction
in the sensor tube.
The event memory is cleared by an initial reset.

2.3.13.3 Watchdog reset
A watchdog reset is automatically performed on reinitialisation after an incorrect program sequence in
the computer. If a watchdog reset occurs frequently, a Fault (fatal error) is triggered (also see section
2.3.3, Watchdog).
The operational sequence of the watchdog reset corresponds to that of the hardware reset.

3.1 Mechanical
The mechanical design consists of the SENSTUBE and the evaluation unit.
The SENSTUBE contains the sensor tube and the associated installation material, such as screw un-
ions, sliding clips and hard plastic tubing. The sensor tube is connected to the Serto screw union pro-
vided for this purpose on the evaluation unit.
The evaluation unit consists of the lower housing part and housing cover. The printed circuit board
ADP 51A is fixed in the lower housing part by means of four screws. The debugging device (support) is
screwed directly onto the printed circuit board. The housing cover is equipped with four captive screws.
The cover also has three Plexiglas rods which serve as optical wave guides and thus display the LEDs
mounted on the electronic circuit board at the housing surface.
The ADW 511A is available in the following versions:
ADW 511A, the standard version for lock-on by means of alarm/end-of-line resistor, or alarm trans-
mitter on collective and single detection lines.
ADW 511A-1, version with integrated pre-wired SCI 82 for direct connection to the SecuriLine ad-
dressable loop of SecuriPro FAS (additional installation by means of installation set possible).

4 Planning
4.1 General aspects of planning
4.1.1 Standards, regulations, guidelines, approvals
Section 4 below entitled Planning is a guideline for planning the ADW 511A fire alarm system. In this
guideline, the direct application is discussed only where this is necessary for fulfilling EN 54 and for tech-
nically satisfactory operation.

Information
Planning guidelines, application examples and valid regulations and guidelines exist for
many country-, system- and application-specific uses.
These documents can be requested from the manufacturer of the ADW 511A system or
from the responsible technical bodies and authorities.

Danger information
Principally the country-specific regulations and guidelines are applicable for the use, the
planning and the application of the ADW 511A. In any case, the planning information below
is subject to the country-specific requirements.
The ADW 511A fire alarm system was tested on the basis of the requirement according to European
Standards EN 54 Parts 5, class A1 to G (with Teflon sensor tube class A1 and A2). The versions ADW
511A Rail was additionally examined according to EN 50121-3-2:2000 and EN 50155A1:2002.

4.2 Application
Thanks to the particularly good characteristics under extreme ambient conditions, the ADW 511A is used
wherever problems are likely during operation owing to latent disturbance variables, and therefore opti-
mal protection can no longer be ensured with conventional point detectors. Owing to the self-test and the
periodic automatic debugging, the ADW 511A is particularly suitable for use in applications where the le-
gally prescribed function and service checks can be carried out only with difficulty, if at all. Typical appli-
cations of the ADW 511A are:
Road tunnels, railway tunnels and subway tunnels, underground mining
Indoor car parks, vehicle decks on ships, loading ramps
Paint spray and coating lines
Explosion zones, tank farms, chemical industry
Rail-mounted vehicles (only ADW 511A Rail)
The ADW 511A can be adjusted by means of a rotary switch to the response classes stated in EN 54,
Part 5.

4.3 Field of use
In order to achieve a required system configuration, the ADW 511A can be connected via its potential-
free changeover contacts and with the use of control panel-specific alarm transmitters, line monitors, etc.
practically without limit to all conventional fire alarm systems. Which system configuration is practical and
which configuration is used will be influenced by the following factors:
Laws, regulations, guidelines
Customer requirements
System type and field of use
Building characteristics
New system, replacement of an existing system, extension

4.4.3 Others
For all other applications, the areas monitored or sensor tube distances are determined in consultation
with the responsible accepting body. The permissible sensor tube length is 80 m in the standard case.
Greater lengths must be approved by the manufacturer and depend on the application. For each moni-
tored area (for multiple areas) and in object protection, a minimum sensor tube length of 7 m must be
observed (heat impingement).

Use when ambient temperature is high
For use at high ambient temperature, metal fixing clips must be used.
The evaluation unit must be mounted in an area at normal ambient temperature.
Between the ADW 511A and the high-temperature area, a hard plastic tubing feed line of
10 m is to be used.
The transition from the hard plastic tubing to the sensor tube must be outside the high-
temperature area.
The use of Teflon sensor tubing in high ambient temperature areas is not

tested in ac-
cordance with EN and may be implemented only after consulting with the manufacturer.

4.5 Settings
The ADW 511A can be set by means of rotary switches so that the triggering characteristics required in
accordance with EN 54-5:2000 are fulfilled.

been EN-tested. During operation in positions 8 and 9, it
must be ensured that the heat supply to the sensor tube is not restricted in the event of a fire
(e.g. by structures, room partitions, etc.)!!
The positions 8 and 9 are provided with predefined basic settings. They can be freely configured subse-
quently (system-specific programming via PC). Important: If, after system-specific reprogramming of the posi-
tion 8 or 9, the firmware basic setting is to be restored, this can only be done via PC.
Sensitivity level:
The sensitivity level highly sensitive (position 2 and 3) should be selected where, in normal operation, only
very small temperature variations are expected (no disturbance variables), e.g. closed underground car parks,
chemical industry.
The sensitivity level normal (middle) should be selected where, in normal operation, localized temperature
variations can occur, e.g. interior of road tunnels carrying little traffic, open underground car parks (position 1),
object protection with increased ambient temperature (position 5, 6 or 7).
The sensitivity level insensitive (position 4, 8 or 9) should be chosen where, in normal operation, large tem-
perature variations are expected, e.g. portal region of road tunnels, road tunnels with high level of traffic, rail-
way tunnels, object protection in heavy industry.

normal operation). To ensure correct response of the maximum alarm, it is therefore necessary to carry out the
initial reset adjustment of the ADW 511A at ambient temperatures which approximately correspond to normal
operation of the system (ambient temperature for normal operation).
Heat supply:
The applications mentioned in the preceding table result in different heat supplies to the sensor tube volume in
the event of a fire, owing to the applicable areas to be monitored (according to the national guidelines) or on
the basis of empirical values. Accordingly, the response values stated in column (A) relate to the percentage
heat supply of the total sensor tube volume, stated in column (V). If other percentages are expected depending
on the area of use or potential propagation of the heat supply generated in a fire, the setting of the response
thresholds via PC should be adapted according to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. !! Only after consultation with the
manufacturer !!
Alarm delay:
The alarm trigger (Diff. and Max.) takes place when the alarm threshold is longer than the set alarm delay
time.

In a system-specific application, 25 % of the sensor tube volume is likely to be heated in the event of a
fire (20 m of 80 m). The ADW 511A should respond according to EN 54-5, class A1. The differential
evaluation should trigger at a temperature rise above 11 C/min. The values resulting from the graphs in
Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 for this application are:
Differential value to be set on the ADW 511A 10 mbar/min

4.6 Electrical installation
4.6.1 Requirements for the installation cables
The supply line from the FACP to evaluation unit ADW 511A is determined by the line technology or
FACP technology used. As a rule, four wires are used for the supply line (two for supply; two for line).
In principle, cables with a twisted pair should be used. In the case of 4-wire and multiwire cables, cables
with a twisted pair or twisted quad should be used.
A separate pair of wires should be used for the power supply of the ADW 511A.
The electrical installation is carried out as a rule by means of commercial installation cables. Depending
on the country of use, the responsible authorities sometimes require special fire detector cables. Inquir-
ies concerning the cable types required should therefore be addressed to the responsible country-
specific authorities from case to case.
The installation cable must have a minimum wire diameter of 0.8 mm (0.5 mm). See section 4.6.2 for an
exact determination of the maximum cable length and of the required cable cross-section.
The power supply and line may be parallel in one cable.

Danger information
For safety reasons (EN 54), individual cables should be used for the lines to and from in any
addressable loop technologies.
In addition, the manufacturers information on maximum line length, cable type, shielding,
etc. of the addressable loop technology used should be observed.
Furthermore, the country-specific guidelines and regulations are applicable for the separa-
tion of cables and the method of installation.

Danger information
Normally, the ADW 511A can be installed without shielding. Shielding of the installation is
required wherever EMC influences are to be expected. In the following environments, dis-
turbance variables are likely and accordingly the installation should be provided with shield-
ing:
In and around transmission and radio systems. In the region of high- and low-voltage
switchgear with high energy. In zones with EMC field strengths of more than 10 V/m. In ca-
ble runs and supply shafts together with high-energy cables. In areas containing high-energy
units and equipment (transformers, power stations, railway installations, X-ray systems,
etc.). Outside buildings.

4.6.2 Determination of the line cross-section

Danger information
In contrast to its predecessor (ADW 511), the ADW 511A has a higher power con-
sumption. When replacing ADW 511 units with the ADW 511A, it is therefore absolutely
necessary that the line cross-section is checked and, if necessary, replaced.

Information
In addition to the ADW 511A current consumption, the limiting data of the lines or FACP
technology used must also be taken into account for determining the required line cross-
section.
As a rule, the line cross-section required for the ADW supply is also sufficient for the line.
Nevertheless, it is useful to carry out the calculation of the minimum line cross-section also
with the FACP-specific limiting data (current consumption/voltage drop).
To ensure satisfactory functioning of the ADW 511A, the line cross-section must be such that the maxi-
mum required current consumption is always available at the end of the electrical installation i.e. at the
ADW 511A.
The maximum possible current consumption of the ADW 511A is therefore applicable for determining
the line cross-section. The ADW 511A has its maximum current consumption when both pre-alarm and
alarm Diff/Max are triggered. In Fig. 11 below, the ADW 511A current consumption is shown as a func-
tion of the applied supply voltage.

If it is assumed that the maximum permissible voltage drop in the installation may be 10 V-DC in the
24 V-DC mode, the minimum ADW supply voltage is therefore 14 V-DC (24 10 =14). From Fig. 11
above, it is evident that the ADW 511A has a current consumption of 108 mA at 14 V-DC.

4.7 Restrictions

Information
The following restrictions are applicable to the use of the ADW 511A:
Only the materials supplied by the manufacturer may be used for installation of the sys-
tem. Other material may be used only if the manufacturers written consent has been ob-
tained.
The length of the sensor tube stated in section 3.4 may not be less than or greater than
the range from 20 to 130 m (including ascent to ceiling). Other tube lengths require the
choice of special sensor tubes (also see section 11.1).
For each monitored area (for multiple areas) and in object protection, a minimum sensor
tube length of 7 m must be observed (heat impingement).
The evaluation unit and sensor tube must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
In applications where extreme pressure surges or extreme temperature changes may oc-
cur as a result of operating processes, the evaluation unit must be housed in an addi-
tional protective box (e.g. SOS alarm box in road tunnels). Constructional measures,
such as sealing of the SENSTUBE in sections, may also be required.
When the SENSTUBE is used in an extremely corrosive environment, appropriate resis-
tant tube materials must be provided (also see section 11.1).
In the case of applications in explosion zones, only the SENSTUBE may be led into the
danger zone. The evaluation unit ADW 511A must be installed outside the explosion
zone in a safe area.
Exception: After consultation with the manufacturer of the ADW 511A, it is possible to
install the ADW 511A in explosion zones I and II with the use of specially tested and ap-
proved ADW housings. Such fields of use and equipment versions are in some cases
subject to different country-specific tests and must therefore be discussed with the re-
sponsible authorities and approval bodies (also see section 11.1).
The environmental influences mentioned in section 4.8 must be taken into account.

Danger information
The ADW 511A must not be deployed as an autonomous unit (i.e. without FACP) in the
maritime sector (ship applications).

4.8 Environmental influences

Danger information
On the basis of the tests performed, the ADW 511A may be used in an environmental range
which is within the certified type tests. Furthermore, the ambient conditions according to the
data in section 13 must be maintained. Failure to maintain these conditions may impair the
operation of the ADW 511A.

Information
For special applications, for example in an arctic or tropical climate, on ships, in an environ-
ment with high EMC, under high shocks, etc., empirical values or specific application guide-
lines may be requested from the manufacturer of the ADW 511A.

5.3 Methods of installation

Information
The methods of installation described in section 5.3 are authoritative decisive for the correct
operation of the ADW 511A. It is therefore essential to note and comply with the information.
Deviations may only be made if the manufacturers written consent has been obtained.

T 139 420 f E
ADW 511A
33 / 61

5.3.1 Evaluation unit
The evaluation unit can be installed in the X, Y or Z axis. An easily accessible place should be chosen as
the location so that work on the evaluation unit can be carried out without aids (ladder, scaffolding).
On the sensor tube entry side, a minimum distance of 10 cm from structural parts (protective boxes,
crevices, etc.) should be maintained.
In applications such as in tunnels, or when the evaluation unit has to be mounted in the open air, the
evaluation unit must be installed in an additional protective box (e.g. SOS alarm box in road tunnels).
The evaluation unit must always be housed in an area where the conditions applicable according to sec-
tion 13 for the evaluation units prevail (also applies for use at high ambient temperature).

5.3.2 Sensor tube
Only one sensor tube can be connected to an ADW 511A evaluation unit. The arrangement or mount-
ing of the sensor tube must be in accordance with the following basic rules:
The sensor tube must be laid in such a way that the lateral vision angle is not impaired, Fig. 14. Ex-
ception: When used in an environment with high ambient temperatures, use fastening straps made of
metal.
The sensor tube should not be laid next to, below or above strip lighting. A minimum distance of
0.5 m should be maintained.
In tunnel applications, the sensor tube should in principle be arranged in the middle of the tunnel (lat-
eral tolerance 0.5 m) (for exceptions, see section 4.4.1).
It is possible to deviate from the above basic rules in order to circumvent obstacles (openings in the
ceiling, ceiling joists, etc.) in the ceiling structure. In tunnels, it should be ensured that the changes in
direction from the normal tube main axis which are necessary for circumventing obstacles are made
at an angle of max. 45. If a change in direction or a traverse at the 90 angle is unavoidable, these
tube sections should be protected mechanically.
The sensor tube is mounted directly on the ceiling by means of plastic sliding clips. In tunnels, it may
also be mounted on the lower surface of cable ducts if the ducts are not more than 0.5 m away from
the ceiling. Metal fixing clips should be used for applications at high ambient temperature.
In the entrance regions of tunnels, a distance of 25 m must be maintained from the sensor tube end
to the entrance.
The maximum sensor tube lengths stated in sections 4.4.1 to 4.4.3 must be complied with (including
ascent to ceiling). Other tube lengths necessitate the choice of special sensor tubes (also see section
11.1).

5.3.2.1 Sensor tube ascent and mounting
The evaluation unit is generally connected to the sensor tube by the hard plastic tubing (tunnel applica-
tions). The sensor tube can also be connected directly to the evaluation unit (e.g. industrial applications).
Two possibilities for the sensor tube ascent in tunnels are shown below.

Fig. 15 Example of ascent of the sensor tube in tunnels
A The traverse from the middle of the tunnel to the side wall is by means of the sensor tube. There, the
sensor tube is connected to the hard plastic tubing by means of a Serto screw union. The hard plastic
tubing is led behind a protective profile to the evaluation unit in the SOS alcove. Important: The
transition from tunnel ceiling to side wall or from sensor tube to hard plastic tubing should take place if
possible in the protected area (cover).
or:
B The traverse is by means of hard plastic tubing, which is drawn into a flush-mounted or surface-
mounted protective pipe. The hard plastic tubing is led in the protective pipe behind the tunnel wall lin-
ing to the evaluation unit in the SOS alcove.
The sensor tube ascent may also consist of combinations of A and B.

Information
For mounting the sensor tube, the following points should be noted and complied with:
The special plastic sliding clips should be used for fixing the sensor tube. Exception: When used in an
environment with high ambient temperatures, use fastening straps made of metal.
The clip spacing is 0.8 m.
Only stainless steel screws should be used for fixing.
To allow the sensor tube to slide in the clips in the event of an increase in length due to temperature
fluctuations, it should be ensured that the clips or the tube are laid in a straight line (guideline).
The tube sections are connected to one another by means of Serto screw unions. It should be en-
sured that the tube ends are cut off at right angles and that there are no projecting metal splinters
(burrs), Fig. 16.
A Serto screw union with an end plug is used at the sensor tube end, Fig. 16. However, this should
only be mounted after the sensor tube has been blown out.
The distance from one end piece to the end piece of the adjacent sensor tube should not exceed
0.5 m.
In the case of the Serto screw unions where the sensor tube is connected to the hard plastic tubing,
the special support sleeve must always be inserted, Fig. 16.
T 139 420 f E
ADW 511A
35 / 61

A safety margin of at least 20 cm (increase in length of the sensor tube) must be maintained from
clips to Serto screw unions (connections and end screw unions).
The ascent to the tunnel ceiling should be by means of hard plastic tubing as far as possible.
In the sensor tube and in the hard plastic tubing, a minimum radius of curvature of 5 cm should not be
exceeded (danger of constriction). In the case of the hard plastic tubing, it should also be ensured
that an existing bend cannot be subsequently constricted (fix mechanically before and after the bend).
The fixing clips before and after the bends must be mounted at a distance of at least 20 cm from the
bends (increase in length of the sensor tube).
Before the end screw union is mounted, the entire sensor tube, including ascent, must be blown
through with nitrogen (1 bar) for 20 s in the direction of the end piece (see section 5.3.2.2).

Safety information
The evaluation unit must on no account already be connected at this point.
After this cleaning step, the end screw union is mounted and a check for leaks is carried out at the
same time (see section 5.3.2.2).
If it is not yet possible to connect the sensor tube to the evaluation unit after the tube has been blown
through, the relevant end should be closed off by suitable means so that dust and moisture cannot
enter.

Information
The sensor tube has to be connected to the connection marked by SENSTUBE. The
connection marked by REFERENZ is used to the adjustment of the pressure sensor on
the local conditions, Fig. 3 and Fig. 13.

Information
A Serto screw union can be used only once!
The screw union may be tightened only until the thread is no longer visible.

5.3.2.2 Debugging of the sensor tube
After the sensor tube has been mounted, the entire sensor tube must be freed from dust and moisture
residues. A leak test must also be carried out.

Safety information
The evaluation unit must on no account be connected during the leak test.
For cleaning and leak testing, moisture-free air, preferably nitrogen, is used. The manufacturer of the
ADW 511A can provide a debugging set Nitrogen fittings for this purpose.

Test procedure
The test is carried out at the beginning of the sensor tube, where the evaluation unit will finally be

Cleaning: carry out in the sequence points 1) to 6) and 11).
Leak test: carry out in the sequence points 8); 2) to 5) and 9) to 11).
1) The end screw union is not yet mounted on the sensor tube.
2) Open main valve on the fittings.
3) Check whether the initial manometer indicates pressure.
4) Open the adjusting valve until the secondary manometer indicates a pressure of 1 bar.
5) Connect the nitrogen cylinder to the sensor tube and open the shut-off valve .
6) Blow out the sensor tube for approx. 20 s. Close the shut-off valve .
7) If necessary, carry out the procedure in point 4. to build up the pressure again.
8) Mount end screw union on sensor tube and tighten.
9) Open shut-off valve the pressure in the tube builds up. Wait until the pressure on the
secondary manometer has settled at 1 bar.
10) Close adjusting valve and check for a possible pressure drop on the secondary manometer
for 60 s. No pressure drop must be detectable!!
11) The test should be recorded.

If the test pressure falls, possible causes are the following:
Leaking screw unions due to improper treatment.
Hairline cracks in the sensor tube which are scarcely visible with the naked eye (manufacturing de-
fect).
Mechanical damage to the sensor tube.

6.4 Connection variants

Information
The connection variants are determined by the line or FACP technology used. Further infor-
mation on the connection of any alarm transmitters, line monitors, etc., are obtainable from
the supplier of the FACP.
The ADW 511A must always have an emergency power supply.

Danger information
The ADW 511A may not be used as an autonomous device (without FACP) in the maritime
sector (applications on ships).

6.4.1 Power supply
The ADW 511A must in all cases have an
emergency power supply; it is fed from the
fire detection control unit stub- or ring-
shaped to the ADW 511A.
The ADW power supply may be provided in-
dividually or group-wise, Fig. 19.

To determine the required power supply and
cable cross-section, it is essential to perform
the calculations described in section 4.6.2.

6.4.2 Reset input
The optocoupler input External reset can
be actuated on both the Plus side and the
Minus side.
The input responds to a pulse-shaped signal.
It operates in the range from +10 to +30 V-
DC and in a pulse bandwidth of 0.5 to 5 s.
When a continuous signal is applied, the
ADW 511A is switched to the inactive state.
For safety reasons, a fault is triggered after
approx. 20 s (incorrect commissioning).

6.4.3 Control
The ADW 511A units connected to FACP are controlled according to the detection zone mapping using
the FACP states Zone On/Off and Reset. Two possibilities are available:
Control via auxiliary relays in the ADW power supply line.
Control via the Reset external input.

6.4.3.1 Control via auxiliary relay
Depending on the location of the ADW supply, the
auxiliary relay may be placed in FACP or directly on
the ADW 511A Fig. 21.
The auxiliary relay can be actuated in the following
ways:
a) from the line plus or minus
b) from the SW output of the FACP (output card)
c) from the SW output, or function of a control mod-
ule
The function types listed above are determined by the
FACP technology in use. Therefore, contact the
manufacturer and/or the supplier of the FACP before
implementing.

Danger Information
Before a reset, there must be a delay time
of at least 2 s
The EMC protective elements at the input
of the ADW electronics briefly cause a cur-
rent peak (5 A/1 ms). When using auxiliary
relays with a max. contact load of 1 A, this
may lead to the relay contact sticking.
Therefore auxiliary relays with a contact
load of over 1 A should always be used
e.g. PMR 81 semiconductors (see
between the event in the
ADW and the reset of the ADW.
Fig. 21).
The ADW supply path via the auxiliary re-
lay contact must

be short-circuit-proof or
conducted through a fuse component (cir-
cuit-breaker card).

Information
To guarantee comprehensive emergency
running properties, the wiring must in all
cases
When using a PMR 81 semiconductor, it is
necessary to invert the actuation signal
(PMR has only normally open contact func-
tion).
be done in such a way that if there is
a computer failure of the FACP the ADW
supply is ensured (type of contact circuitry
opener/closer of the auxiliary relay).

6.4.3.2 Control via the Reset external input
Provided the ADW supply switch-off for FACP
state Zone Off is not absolutely necessary, the
control and/or event reset (alarm/fault) of the
ADW 511A can also use the Reset external in-
put, Fig. 22 (also see section 6.4.2 and Fig. 20).
Control via reset input offers advantages when in-
telligent line evaluation, such as addressable
loops, are in use. A control unit is built into the
ADW 511A that is has the SW functions Zone
On/Off and Reset via the FACP line. Via the
open collector output of the control module the
reset input of the ADW 511A can thus be actu-
ated without the addition of an auxiliary relay.

Danger information


Safety information
Important: When control is via the Reset external input, the ADW 511A is supplied with
voltage even if the zone (FACP) is switched off. Maintenance work.

6.4.4 Wiring the FACP line
6.4.4.1 Wiring for zone detection
With circuitry for zone detection lines, actuation
of the auxiliary relay is, as a rule, from the line
plus. The condition, however, is that the line
plus also switches for Zone On/Off and Re-
set. Actuation from the SW output in accor-
dance with section 6.4.3.1 b) is also possible.

Information
Be sure to observe the information
concerning reset delay time and aux-
iliary relay in Section 6.4.3.1.

6.4.4.2 Wiring for single detection or addressable loop
For line technologies such as single detection
lines and addressable loops, actuation of the
auxiliary relay is to be implemented from a soft-
ware-controlled output (output card or control
module). The output is programmed via the
FACP software with the Zone Off and Reset
functions.

Information
concerning reset delay time and auxil-
iary relay in Section 6.4.3.1.

6.4.4.3 Wiring for SecuriPro via MDI 82
When the circuitry for SecuriPro is done via MDI
82, actuation of the auxiliary relay is imple-
mented from the line plus of the MDI 82.
It is preferable to use a PMR 81 as auxiliary re-
lay.

Information
concerning reset delay time and aux-
iliary relay in Section 6.4.3.1.
The software of the facility is to be programmed
so that the MDI 82 line plus is not supplied with
voltage for the Zone Off and Reset functions
(according to specifications of the manufac-
turer).

6.4.4.4 Wiring the ADW 511A-1 for SecuriLine (via SCI 82)
For connecting SecuriPro FAS, the ADW
511A-1 version with built-in SCI 82 is used.
This permits the SecuriLine addressable loop
to be directly fed into the ADW and connected.
The internal wiring between ADW and SCI 82
is already implemented by the manufacturer.
The sequence and arrangement of the inputs
IN1 to IN3 are permanently pre-specified in
accordance with Fig. 26 and are to be main-
tained if the SCI 82 is subsequently installed in
an ADW 511A (IN4 remains free).

Information
When wiring SecuriPro via
SCI 82, the ADW 511A is con-
trolled exclusively through the
Reset external input. The power
supply on the system is continu-
ous.
Before a reset, there must be a
delay time of at least 2 s
For each SecuriLine a maximum
of 20 ADW 511A-1 units (with
SCI 82) can be connected.
be-
tween the event in the ADW and
the reset of the ADW.
No auxiliary relay is necessary. Control of the
ADW is through the relay contact of the
SCI 82.
Programming the FACP software is accom-
plished by selecting the appropriate SW mod-
ule for the ADW 511A-1. This defines and
programs all necessary functions for the con-
trol (Zone On/Off and Reset) and status scan-
ning (Al/St) of the ADW.

Safety information
Important: When wiring in accor-
dance with Fig. 26, the ADW is
supplied with voltage even if the
zone (FACP) is switched off. Main-
tenance work.

Information
Feeding in the and connecting the connecting cable
By loosening the two lower ADP 51A retaining screws, the SCI 82 can be removed from the
ADW. This makes the cable entries and lower terminals accessible. The connection wires of
the SecuriLine are fed through the space between the ADW housing and SCI support. See
also Fig. 27.

6.4.4.4.1 Subsequent installation of the SCI 82 in an ADW 511A
When adding to or upgrading existing facilities, it may be necessary to install an SCI 82 into an existing
ADW 511A. The SCI 82 is provided as a single component with an installation set. The installation set
includes a support and 2 rubber washers.
The first step is to join the SCI 82 to the support as shown in Fig. 28. The two lower retaining screws of
the ADP 51A are used (near terminals).
Wiring between the ADW 511A and SCI 82 as shown in Fig. 26 must be done before finally installing the
SCI in the ADW.
Lastly, the SCI 82 fastened to the support can be screwed into the free mounting holes of the ADP 51A.

For connecting Schrack-FAS the version ADW
511A-2 with built-in BX-OI3 is used. This permits
the SecuriLine / Integral addressable loop to be
directly fed into the ADW and connected. The in-
ternal wiring between ADW and BX-OI3 is al-
ready implemented by the manufacturer. The se-
quence and arrangement of the inputs IN1 to IN3
are permanently pre-specified accordance with
Fig. 29.

7 Commissioning
7.1 General

Safety information
The following points should be observed for commissioning the ADW 511A:
The ADW 511A may only be commissioned by instructed persons.
Before commissioning, it is necessary to ensure that the entire sensor tube is blown out
with nitrogen after installation. A leak test must also have been carried out (also see sec-
tion 5.3.2.2).
Before commissioning, it is necessary to adapt the pressure sensor to the local condi-
tions. This is achieved by briefly opening the screw connection marked with REFER-
ENZ on the evaluation unit.
Before commissioning, the assembly and installation should be checked to ensure that
the ADW 511A cannot be damaged when the power supply is switched on.
Before switching on the ADW power supply, it should be ensured that any fire control in-
stallations and alarm transmissions from the ADW 511A are blocked or switched off.

7.2 Programming
The ADW 511A generally requires no programming during commissioning. Most applications can be
covered by choosing one of the basic set-ups with fixed parameters.
The automatic debugging interval (debugging procedure) is programmed for 8 hours as standard.
The fixed basic settings (position 1 to 7) can be called up using the program selector switch. The po-
sitions 8 and 9 are likewise provided with predefined basic settings. However, in contrast to the posi-
tions 1 to 7, they can be freely configured subsequently, i.e. they serve as an access path of system-
specific programs via a PC.
If, after system-specific reprogramming of the position 8 or 9, the firmware basic setting is to be re-
stored, this can only be done via a PC.
For system-specific programming, one of the fixed basic settings can be read in on the PC from the
ADW 511A (rotary switch positions 1 to 9). By means of the PC software, the loaded basic setting can
be changed within wide limits and can then be input again in the ADW 511A as a system file or user
file on one of the overwritable rotary switch positions (position 8 or 9).
After an update of the operating software (firmware), the system-specific settings of position(s) 8 and/or
9 must be checked and re-adjusted if necessary.
The basic set-ups 1 to 7 cannot be changed. Reloading from PC to the rotary switch positions 1 to
7 is not possible.
A configured system file can be used several times, i.e. can be loaded on several ADW 511A.
Any adaptations of or modifications to the ADW 511A via PC may be carried out only by the manufac-
turer or by persons instructed and trained by the manufacturer.
T 139 420 f E
ADW 511A
47 / 61

7.3 Software
The operating software is loaded on delivery of the ADW 511A (socket-mounted EPROM). For any sub-
sequent versions of the operating SW, a new programmed EPROM can be obtained from the manufac-
turer and the old EPROM in the ADW 511A can be replaced with the new one. If system-specific settings
are present on positions 8 and/or 9, they must be subsequently checked and adjusted accordingly if
necessary. An EEPROM is available for storing or saving any system-specific parameters and various
event measurements.
The manufacturer of the ADW 511A has software for configuration of system-specific settings by means
of PC. The PC software may only be used by the manufacturer or by persons instructed by the manufac-
turer. The PC software does not form part of the delivery scope of the ADW 511A. This SW shall only be
provided to instructed and licensed persons in consultation with the manufacturer of the ADW 511A.

7.4 Start-up
The information about operating elements and indicators which is required for the start-up appears in
section 8.1.
When starting up the ADW 511A proceed as follows:

Information
The switch position set in each case is automatically activated or started after 3 s.
If there are long waiting times between the individual start-up points, the ADW 511A triggers
a program selector fault in some cases after approx. 13 min (incorrect commissioning,
also see section 2.3.11.4). The fault is displayed by the flashing of all three LEDs in the ratio
3:1.
It is therefore advisable to initiate the next start-up procedure as quickly as possible after the
end of a completed procedure.

Action Effect
1) Perform initial reset:
Before the initial reset the sensor
tube must be de-aerated. For that
purpose the sensor tubing fitting on
the exterior of the evaluation unit is
opened for approx. 3 min and then
firmly closed (with a fork wrench).
Open briefly the REFERENZ screw
connection and close it after that
(with fork wrench)
Bring rotary switch to pos. 0.
Switch on ADW power supply (group/
line On on FACP).
ADW performs a sensor tube measurement:
Motor starts, all three LEDs light up permanently. The mo-
tor runs partly stepwise or stops for a short time
After approx. 2 min the motor finally stops and the LEDs
Al-Diff, Al-Max and Fault go out.
Important. The process is complete only after the three
LEDs Al-Diff, Al-Max and Fault go out go immediately
to 2).
2) Perform basic setup:
Bring rotary switch to pos. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.
ADW 511A activates after 3 s the selected basic setup:
All LEDs flash briefly once again.
The procedure is complete go to point 3).

3) Carry out debugging sensor tube:
Bring rotary switch to pos. D.
ADW 511A starts after 3 s debugging:
The motor starts, all three LEDs flash in the ratio 1:1. The
motor runs partly stepwise or stops for a short time
An intact sensor tube is indicated if all three LEDs go out
and the motor finally stops after approx. 90 s go immedi-
ately to 4).
A damaged sensor tube is indicated if all three LEDs flash
for longer than 90 s (approx. 3 min) and the Fault LED then
flashes (1:1 or 3:1) or remains permanently lit up.
The ADW triggers a fault; Termination of start-up, fault
rectification according sections 10.3.1.2 and 10.3.1.4).
4) Carry out alarm test:
Bring rotary switch to pos. A.
ADW 511A triggers alarm after 3 s:
The LEDs Al-Diff and Al-Max light up permanently.
The alarm relay triggers.
The procedure is complete go immediately to point 5).
5) Carry out fault test:
Bring rotary switch to pos. B.
ADW 511A triggers fault after 3 s:
The alarm state of point 4. will be reset.
The fault LED lights up permanently.
The fault relay triggers.
The procedure is complete go immediately to point 6).
6) Perform basic set-up:
Bring rotary switch to pos. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.
ADW 511A makes after 3 s a reset and activates the se-
lected basic set-up:
The Fault LED goes out.
Fault relay goes to the quiescent position.
The start-up is complete Record rotary switch position.

7.5 Measurements
The ADW power supply at terminals 1 and 2 should be checked. If the power supply to the FACP has
been correctly set (not emergency power mode), the voltage must be in the following range (depending
on the line length):
ADW 511A in 24 V-DC mode: Range 14 to 30 V-DC
ADW 511A in 12 V-DC mode: Range 10.5 to 14 V-DC
With the line cross-section determined and installed according to section 4.6.2, this voltage range must
in any case still be available at the end of the electrical installation i.e. at the ADW 511A so that satis-
factory operation of the ADW 511A is ensured (see section 4.6.2).

Information
If the measured value is outside the above-mentioned ranges, it may lead to malfunctions or
even to damage (above 30 V-DC) to the ADW 511A.
Incorrect voltage values may be the result of line cross-sections of insufficient dimensions or
incorrectly set voltage of the FACP.

7.6 Testing, checking and monitoring
The points mentioned under sections 7.1 and 7.4 should be implemented as tests and checks and for
monitoring purposes.
For every ADW 511A, it is necessary to carry out precise adjustment under operating conditions. In tun-
nels, it is therefore advisable to run through the entire ventilation program after the initial set-up to ensure
that ventilation-dependent temperature fluctuations cannot trigger alarms.
If long-term measurements have to be carried out on the ADW 511A in commissioning phases, it must
be done via a PC (after consultation with the manufacturer of the ADW 511A).
Testing with the effective heat fire phenomenon is generally not necessary. If required, it is possible to
generate the necessary heat by means of test devices in order to simulate an ADW 511A response simi-
lar to an effective fire (see section 7.6.1).

Danger information
If real fire tests are to be carried out, they should be performed only after consultation with
the responsible local authorities (fire brigade) and by professionally instructed persons
(manufacturer).

Fig. 32 Using a trigger spiral
The trigger spiral has its own volume which
corresponds to approx. 6 m of sensor tubing.
These 6 m are to be included in the calcula-
tion of the total length of the sensor tubing. If a
trigger spiral is required, it must therefore be
taken into account when planning the facility in
the project phase.

The trigger spiral is always to be positioned at
the ADW 511A evaluation unit.

The trigger spiral must not be exposed
to direct sunlight.

Local influences such as temperature
fluctuations can trigger false alarms on
the trigger spiral.

It may be necessary to install the trigger spiral
in a lockable box (protection against vandal-
ism).

Depending on the total length of the sensor
tubing and the required system settings for
normal operation (according to section 4.5), it
may be that the volume of the trigger spiral is
insufficient to put the system into an alarm
state. In such cases, a highly sensitive setting
should be selected temporarily during the
trigger test (rotary switch position 2 or 3).

Important: When the trigger test is
completed, make sure to reset the
original rotary switch setting back to
normal operation!!! (Rotary switch po-
sition 1 ... 9).

For other options for testing the system based on a specific facility please contact the manufacturer.

Fig. 33 View of the controls and indicators

The ADW 511A is equipped with a 16-digit rotary switch (program) for operation.
The rotary switch can be used for calling up the permanently programmed basic set-ups or for setting
various test functions for commissioning and maintenance. The switch position set in each case is auto-
matically activated or started after 3 s.
A Reset jumper is used for triggering a hardware reset.

8.2 Test functions

Information
Fire control installations, alarm transmission!
Some of the test functions trigger external functions (alarm/fault). All fire control installations
and alarm transmissions should therefore be blocked or switched off beforehand (FACP).
The test function settings are not permitted for normal operation and trigger a program se-
lector fault approx. 13 min after completion of the set test function.

Triggering a test function resets a previously triggered test function.

8.4 Resetting
Resetting after an event is carried out by switching off the ADW supply voltage or by actuating the Reset
external input. Bridging the Reset jumper also cause a reset of the ADW 511A (hardware reset).

Danger information


Information
Important: Fire control installations, alarm transmission!!
A hardware reset with Reset jumper triggers the alarm relay for a short time (approx.
0.5 s). During maintenance or repair work on the ADW 511A, it is therefore essential to
switch off or block fire control installations and fire alarms on the superior system (FACP)
beforehand.

9 Service and maintenance
9.1 General

Safety information
Service and maintenance work on fire alarm systems are in some cases subject to country-
specific laws and regulations.
Service and maintenance work must always be carried out only by persons trained by the
manufacturer of the ADW 511A and authorized to perform the work.

9.2 Cleaning
The evaluation unit is cleaned with a non-corrosive cleaning agent, for example soap solution, etc.
The sensor tube needs no cleaning in order for it to function properly.

Safety information
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as solvents, pure petrol or other alcohol-containing agents,
should not be used for cleaning.

9.3 Function tests
Owing to the automatic leak test and the self-monitoring of the ADW circuit, periodic function tests are
unnecessary. In the case of ADW 511A, only the legally prescribed, national guidelines (VdS, VKF) relat-
ing to the maintenance of fire alarm systems need be followed.
Any service, maintenance or inspection work on the ADW 511A may be required after an event (fire,
fault).
If a defect makes it necessary to replace an evaluation unit or parts of the sensor tube, the procedure for
commissioning a new unit, according to section 7, should be followed for the new ADW 511A (initial re-
set required). With the replacement of the ADW 511A, all customer-specific settings must be repro-
grammed by means of a PC.

9.4 Disposal
The ADW 511A, including its packaging, consists of recyclable material and can be disposed of with ma-
terial intended for recycling.

11 Options
11.1 Sensor tube
When the sensor tube is used in an extremely corrosive environment, appropriate resistant tube materi-
als must be used. The following is a list of the available sensor tube materials and their applications:
Material: Application:
Copper (Cu) Standard sensor tube for applications with normal ambient temperatures.
Stainless steel (VA) Sensor tube for applications in corrosive environments, especially in the food indus-
try for hygienic reasons.
Teflon (PTFE) Sensor tube for applications in very corrosive and aggressive environments.

If the detection zone to be protected is outside the specified minimum or maximum sensor tube length of
20 to 130 m (including ascent to ceiling), sensor tubes of dimensions other than those mentioned in sec-
tion 3.4 and section 12 should be used. Information concerning other sensor tube dimensions is obtain-
able from the manufacturer of the ADW 511A.

Danger information
Sensor tubes other than those mentioned in section 3.4 and 12 may only be used after con-
sultation and with the written consent of the manufacturer of the ADW 511A.
Only sensor tubes (material, supplier, dimension) which have been tested and approved by
the manufacturer of the ADW 511A may be used.

11.2 Use in explosion zones
For monitoring explosion zones with the ADW 511A in its standard version, only the SENSTUBE may
be led into the hazard zone. The evaluation unit ADW 511A must be installed outside the explosion
zone, in a safe area.
Exception: After consultation with the manufacturer of the ADW 511A, it is possible to use the
ADW 511A in explosion zones I and II, provided that specially tested and approved ADW housings are
used. Such fields of use or equipment designs are in some cases subject to different country-specific
tests and must therefore be discussed with the responsible authorities and approval bodies.

Danger information
The manufacturer must be consulted before the complete ADW 511A is used in explosion
zones I and II as described above (including evaluation unit).
All required consultations with the country-specific approval and testing bodies must be con-
ducted by the manufacturer of the ADW 511A.

13 Technical data ADW 511A

Danger information
In contrast to its predecessor (ADW 511), the ADW 511A has a higher power con-
sumption. When replacing ADW 511 units with the ADW 511A, it is therefore absolutely
necessary that the line cross-section is checked and, if necessary, replaced.
