Alarm systems - Intrusion and hold-up systems - Part 4: Warning devices

This European Standard includes requirements for warning devices used for notification in intrusion and hold up alarm systems installed in buildings. Four grades of warning device are described corresponding to each of the four security grades given in EN 50131-1. Requirements are also given for four environmental classes covering applications in indoor and outdoor locations as specified in EN 50130-5.
This European Standard does not deal with requirements for compliance with EC regulatory Directives, such as the EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive, etc. except that it specifies the equipment operating conditions for EMC susceptibility testing as required by EN 50130-4.

Alarmanlagen - Einbruch- und Überfallmeldeanlagen - Teil 4: Signalgeber

Dieses Dokument enthält Anforderungen an Signalgeber, die als Ausgabegeräte in Einbruch- und Überfallmeldeanlagen in Gebäuden verwendet werden. Die Anforderungen entsprechen vier Sicherheitsgraden, die in EN 50131-1 angegeben werden. Weiterhin werden Anforderungen an vier Umweltklassen gestellt, welche die Anwendungen im Innen- und Außenbereich, wie in EN 50130-5 spezifiziert, abdecken.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit Anforderungen an die Einhaltung regulatorischer EG-Richtlinien, wie z. B. der EMV-Richtlinie, der Niederspannungsrichtlinie usw., ausgenommen, dass sie die Bedingungen für den Betrieb der Ausrüstung hinsichtlich der EMV-Störanfälligkeitsprüfung nach EN 50130-4 festlegt.

Systèmes d’alarme - Systèmes d’alarme contre l’intrusion et les hold-up - Partie 4: Dispositifs d’avertissement

La présente Norme européenne contient des exigences applicables aux dispositifs d’avertissement utilisés pour la notification dans les systèmes d’alarme contre l’intrusion et les hold-up installés dans les bâtiments. Quatre grades de dispositifs d’avertissement sont décrits, correspondant aux quatre grades de sécurité indiqués dans l’EN 50131-1. Les exigences sont également données pour les quatre classes d’environnement qui couvrent les applications situées à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur, tel que spécifié dans l’EN 50130-5.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les exigences de conformité aux directives réglementaires CE, comme la directive CEM, la directive Basse Tension, etc., mais elle spécifie les conditions de fonctionnement des matériels en ce qui concerne les essais de susceptibilité CEM comme cela est exigé par l’EN 50130-4.

Alarmni sistemi - Sistemi za javljanje vloma in ropa - 4. del: Opozorilne naprave

Ta evropski standard vključuje zahteve za opozorilne naprave, ki se uporabljajo za obveščanje v sistemih za javljanje vloma in ropa, vgrajenih v stavbah. Opisani so štirje razredi opozorilnih naprav, ki ustrezajo štirim varnostnim razredom iz standarda EN 50131-1. Zahteve so podane tudi za štiri okoljske razrede, ki zajemajo načine uporabe na notranjih in zunanjih lokacijah, kot je določeno v standardu EN 50130-5.
Ta evropski standard ne obravnava zahtev glede skladnosti z regulativnimi direktivami ES, kot je direktiva o elektromagnetni združljivosti, direktiva o nizki napetosti itd., določa pa pogoje za uporabo opreme za preskušanje občutljivosti v okviru elektromagnetne združljivosti, kot to zahteva standard EN 50130-4.

This European Standard considers two different categories of warning device, remotely powered and
self-powered devices.
Self-powered warning devices are classified into one of four types, dependent upon the recharge
characteristics of the storage device and the source of recharge power. These four types are defined
in Table 9.
5 Requirements
5.1 Functional
5.1.1 Response
Depending upon the grade, warning devices shall have the functionality as defined in Table 1. Where
a function is provided, the warning device shall operate in accordance with the requirements of
Table 2.
NOTE Requirements for the interconnections are given in the specific interconnection standard(s).

The provision of a fault signal or message is not mandatory for all grades, see Table 1.
b
At least one of these actions shall occur at the warning device. For grade 3 and grade 4 warning devices, if
the loss of remote power source can be shown to be caused by a fault then a fault signal shall be generated,
otherwise a tamper signal shall be generated.
c
At least one of these actions shall occur at the warning device. For grade 3 and grade 4 warning devices, if
the loss of trigger command integrity can be shown to be caused by a fault then a fault signal shall be
generated, otherwise a tamper signal shall be generated.
d
The response to a remote test pass shall be different from the response to a remote test fail.
5.1.2 Acoustic
A warning device shall produce a varying sound output, which is distinctive and likely to attract
attention, with a mean acoustic output of no less than that defined in Table 3 at 1 m from the mounting
surface of the warning device throughout the manufacturer’s specified operating voltage range.
Acoustic output levels as measured in accordance with Annex A, taken at 30° intervals in the
horizontal plane, shall not be below the minimum individual level defined in Table 3 at 1 m from the
mounting surface. The mean acoustic output shall be calculated by the arithmetic sum of these values
divided by the number of measurements. For surface mounted devices (e.g. wall mounted devices)
this is required at angles between 15° and 165° to the surface, and for pole mounted devices it is for
the full 360°.

NOTE 1 It is considered restrictive to define exact waveforms of acceptable alarm tones, therefore the only
tests that can be applied are on the acoustic output level and that the tone is varying.
NOTE 2 Voice alarms are deemed to meet the requirements of a varying sound output.
NOTE 3 A warning device may also provide audible alert indications providing such indications are easily
distinguishable from an alarm.
NOTE 4 The acoustic output (sound level and/or frequency) of a warning device may be subject to variation
depending on local or national requirements.
5.1.3 Timing
A trigger command exceeding 400 ms shall be processed by the warning device.
A warning device shall commence its audible alarm within 1 s of receiving a valid trigger command to
do so. It shall cease its audible alarm within 1 s of receiving a valid cancellation of the trigger
command.
The warning device shall sound between these signals.
The maximum time for which an audible warning device shall sound continuously is 15 min.
NOTE 1 For remote powered warning device, where applicable, this requirement may be achieved by the CIE.
NOTE 2 The duration of the operational period of a warning device may be subject to variation depending on
local or national requirements
A tamper signal or message shall be generated within 1 s of a tamper condition occurring.
There shall be a response to loss of remote power source or loss of trigger command interconnection
integrity according to Tables 1 and 2, within 10 s of the fault occurring.
A response to local test fail according to Tables 1 and 2 shall occur within 10 s of detection of the fault.
5.2 Tamper
5.2.1 Protection
All component parts shall be housed in an enclosure meeting the impact requirements of the
appropriate grade given in Table 4.
Provision shall be made to allow adequate fixing of the enclosure to the mounting surface.

The cover of the enclosure shall be secured with one or more screws or bolts or alternatively by a
mechanical lock. The cover of the enclosure shall be opened only with the use of one or more keys or
suitable tools.
It shall not be possible, without causing visible damage, to gain access to any electrical connections,
or elements providing adjustment, without first generating a tamper signal or message.
When the unit is mounted normally it shall not be possible, without causing visible damage, to
introduce a tool, as defined in Table 5, such that the operation of the warning device could be
adversely affected.

5.2.2 Detection
The tamper detection requirements for warning devices relative to the security grade are given in
Table 7.
Opening the warning device enclosure by normal means shall generate a tamper signal or message.

Attempts to remove the warning device from its mounting surface for a distance defined in Table 8 in a
perpendicular direction shall generate a tamper signal or message according to Table 7.
It shall not be possible to defeat the removal from mounting detection by sliding a
25 mm × 1 mm × 300 mm blade, or by use of pliers (of thickness 5 mm and reach 150 mm), between
the mounting surface and the warning device.
The warning device shall include means to detect penetration of the enclosure, which could cause
mis-operation of the warning device, as specified in Table 7, when a hole of 4 mm is made in the
enclosure.
