EN 54-18:2005

Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 18: Input/output devices

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for input/output devices connected to a transmission path of a fire detection and fire alarm system, used to receive and/or transmit electrical signals to or from the transmission path, necessary for the operation of the fire detection and fire alarm system and/or fire protection system.
An input/output device may be a physically separate device or its function may be integrated into another device in which case this European Standard may be used to assess this function.
Control and indicating equipment, and ancillary control and indicating equipment (e.g. repeater panels and fire brigade panels) are not covered by this European Standard.

Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 18: Eingangs-/Ausgangsgeräte

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Leistungsmerkmale für Eingangs-/Ausgangs-geräte
fest, die mit einem Übertragungsweg einer Brandmeldeanlage verbunden sind und die für den Emp-fang
und/oder das Senden eines elektrischen Signals zu oder von einem Übertragungsweg verwendet werden,
die für den Betrieb einer Brandmeldeanlage und/oder eines Brandschutzsystems erforderlich sind.
Ein Eingangs-/Ausgangsgerät kann ein getrenntes Gerät sein oder seine Funktion kann in andere Geräte in-tegriert
werden, wofür dann diese Norm dazu verwendet werden kann, diese Funktion zu beurteilen.
Brandmelderzentralen und deren Zubehör (z. B. Verstärker- und Feuerwehr-Bedienfelder) sind nicht Bestand-teil
dieser Europäischen Norm.

Systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie - Partie 18: Dispositifs d'entrée/sortie

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et les critères de performance des dispositifs d'entrée/sortie raccordés à une voie de transmission d’un système de détection et d'alarme incendie et utilisés pour recevoir des signaux électriques d’une voie de transmission et/ou lui en transmettre, ces signaux étant nécessaires au fonctionnement du système de détection et d’alarme incendie et/ou du système de protection contre l’incendie.
Un dispositif d'entrée/sortie peut être un dispositif séparé physiquement ou sa fonction peut être intégrée dans un autre dispositif, auquel cas la présente Norme européenne peut être utilisée pour évaluer cette fonction.
Les équipements de contrôle et de signalisation ainsi que les équipements auxiliaires de contrôle et de signalisation (par exemple, les tableaux répétiteurs et les tableaux pompiers) ne sont pas couverts par cette Norme européenne.

Introduction
The term input/output devices, used in this European Standard, covers a wide range of different types of
devices, which are intended for different applications, and may therefore have different functions. This
European Standard does not therefore include detailed functional requirements for the input/output devices
but requires that their function is sufficiently specified by the manufacturer and that they function correctly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for input/output
devices connected to a transmission path of a fire detection and fire alarm system, used to receive and/or
transmit electrical signals to or from the transmission path, necessary for the operation of the fire detection
and fire alarm system and/or fire protection system.
An input/output device may be a physically separate device or its function may be integrated into another
device in which case this European Standard may be used to assess this function.
Control and indicating equipment, and ancillary control and indicating equipment (e.g. repeater panels and fire
brigade panels) are not covered by this European Standard.
