Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 23: Fire alarm devices - Visual alarm devices

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for visual alarm devices in a fixed installation intended to signal a visual warning of a fire between the fire detection and fire alarm system and the occupants of a building. It is intended to cover only those devices which derive their operating power by means of a physical electrical connection to an external source such as a fire alarm system.
This European Standard specifies the evaluation of conformity and the marking of the visual alarm devices.
This European Standard applies to visual alarm devices that rely on software for their operation and to those that do not.
This European Standard applies only to pulsing or flashing visual alarm devices, for example xenon beacons or rotating beacons. Devices giving continuous light output are excluded from this European Standard.
This European Standard is not intended to cover visual indicators, for example those on detectors or on the control and indicating equipment.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 23: Feueralarmeinrichtungen - Optische Signalgeber

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für fest eingebaute optische Signalgeber fest, die zu dem Zweck vorgesehen sind, das von der Brandmeldeanlage veranlasste optische Warnsignal an Personen in einem Gebäude auszusenden (siehe Bestandteil C in Bild 1 der
EN 54-1:1996). Sie gilt nur für die Einrichtungen, die ihre Betriebsenergie durch eine körperliche elektrische Verbindung von einer äußeren Energiequelle beziehen, z. B. von einer Brandmeldeanlage.
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an die Bewertung der Konformität und an die Kennzeichnung von optischen Signalgebern fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für softwaregesteuerte und nicht-softwaregesteuerte optische Signalgeber.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur für pulsierende oder blinkende optische Signalgeber, zum Beispiel für Xenon-Blitz- oder Rundumleuchten. Sie gilt nicht für Einrichtungen, bei denen die Lichtabstrahlung kontinuierlich erfolgt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für optische Anzeigeelemente, zum Beispiel bei Brandmeldern oder bei Brandmelderzentralen.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 23 : Dispositifs d'alarme feu - Dispositifs visuels d'alarme feu

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance pour les dispositifs visuels d'alarme feu dans une installation fixe destinés à donner un avertissement visuel de feu entre un système de détection d’incendie et d'alarme feu et les occupants d'un bâtiment (Voir élément C de la Figure 1 de l'EN 54-1:1996). Elle est destinée à couvrir uniquement les dispositifs qui tirent leur puissance de fonctionnement au moyen d'un raccordement électrique physique à une source externe tel qu'un système de détection incendie et d’alarme feu.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie l'évaluation de conformité et le marquage des dispositifs visuels d'alarme feu.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux dispositifs visuels d’alarme feu dont le fonctionnement repose sur un logiciel et aux dispositifs pour lesquels ce n'est pas le cas.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique uniquement aux dispositifs visuels d'alarme feu à clignotement ou à impulsions, par exemple flashes au xénon ou gyrophares. Sont exclus de la présente Norme européenne les dispositifs à émission lumineuse continue.
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas destinée à couvrir les indicateurs visuels, par exemple sur les détecteurs ou sur l'équipement de contrôle et de signalisation.

Sistemi za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje - 23. del: Naprave za alarmiranje - Vizualne alarmne naprave

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje zahteve, preskusne metode in merila za zmogljivost za vizualne alarmne naprave v fiksni namestitvi, namenjeni signaliziranju vizualnega opozorila na ogenj med sistemom za odkrivanje in javljanje požara ter alarmiranje in stanovalci stavbe (glej točko C Slike 1 iz EN 54-1:1996). Namenjen je temu, da zajame le tiste naprave, ki pridobivajo svojo obratovalno moč s pomočjo fizične električne povezave z zunanjim virom, kot je sistem za javljanje požara in alarmiranje. Ta evropski standard opredeljuje vrednotenje skladnosti in označevanje vizualnih alarmnih naprav. Ta evropski standard velja za vizualne alarmne naprave, ki se pri svojem delovanju opirajo na programsko opremo in tudi tiste, ki se ne. Ta evropski standard velja le za utripajoče in svetlikajoče vizualne alarmne naprave, na primer za ksenonske signalne luči ali vrteče se signalne luči. Iz tega evropskega standarda so izvzete naprave, ki dajejo nepretrgano svetlobo. Ta evropski standard ne pokriva vizualnih indikatorjev, na primer indikatorjev na detektorjih ali na nadzorni in indikacijski opremi.
