Chapter 9 • Connection and parameterisation User Manual Series F-BO-AFE709.5 Parameterisation of the Purging unit9.5.1 Setting the Purging programThe desired Purging program is set by means of the rotary switch „Purging program“ SW1 (see onpage 36 in Table 8 and on page 39 in Fig. 16).In switch positions „1“ through „C“ of rotary switch SW1, the selected Purging program will becarried out as soon as the aspirating smoke detector reports a „fault“ (e.g., the air flow throughthe sampling pipework is impeded by contamination), independent of the time.In the Automatic Purging Unit F-BO-AFE70, two Purging processes with different duration andnumber of impulses can be selected: the „short“ Purging process carries out 3 impulses with a duration of 3 seconds each and with2 pauses of 3 seconds in between, i.e., with a total duration of approx. 15 seconds, and is inten-ded for normal contamination, the „long“ Purging process carries out 5 impulses with a duration of 5 seconds each and with4 pauses of 5 seconds in between, i.e., with a total duration of approx. 45 seconds, and is inten-ded for persistent contamination.Please note that more compressed air is needed for the long Purging process.SW1 Purging program0 Setting the time – manual activation not possible1 Once a day at 10:00 and in case of a fault, always with long Purging process2 Twice a day at 09:00 and 14:00 and in case of a fault, always with long Purging process3 Three times a day at 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 and in case of a fault, always with long Pur-ging process4 Four times a day at 5:00, 10:00, 15:00 and 20:00 and in case of a fault, always with longPurging process5 Six times a day at 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00 and 00:00 and in case of a fault, alwayswith long Purging process6 Long Purging process in the event of a fault of the evaluation unit of the aspirating smokedetectorThis program is also to be used if the Purging processes are only started by a push-button,or if the Purging unit operates as „slave“.7 Once a day at 10:00 and in case of a fault, always with short Purging process8 Twice a day at 09:00 and 14:00 and in case of a fault, always with short Purging process9 Three times a day at 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 and in case of a fault, always with short Pur-ging processA Four times a day at 5:00, 10:00, 15:00 and 20:00 and in case of a fault, always with shortPurging processB Six times a day at 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00 and 00:00 and in case of a fault, alwayswith short Purging processC Short Purging process in the event of a faultD No Purging program; a fault will be transmitted without delay, manual activation is notpossibleE No Purging program; a fault will be transmitted without delay, manual activation is notpossibleF Setting the device number - manual activation not possibleTable 8: Setting the program with the rotary switch „Purging program“ SW1I56-4252-010D200-104-0036
