34、troduction The purpose of a visual fire alarm device (VAD) is to warn person(s) within, or in the vicinity of, a building of the occurrence of a fire emergency in order to enable such person(s) to take appropriate measures. This European Standard allows manufacturers to specify VADs in terms of the
35、range at which the required illumination is met. Three categories of device are defined, one for ceiling mounted devices, one for wall mounted devices and an open category. The maximum range of the VAD is tested by measuring the light output in a hemisphere surrounding it to determine its light dist
36、ribution. As the light output of some VADs can change over time due, for example, to the effect of self-heating, a test has been introduced to check that the variation of light output over time is within an acceptable limit. This European Standard gives common requirements for the construction and r
37、obustness of VADs as well as for their performance under climatic, mechanical and electrical interference conditions which are likely to occur in the service environment. VADs are classified in one of two application environment types, i.e. Type A and Type B. More severe climatic conditions are appl
38、ied to devices that are primarily intended for outdoor applications (Type B) than those primarily intended for indoor applications (Type A). BS EN 54-23:2010EN 54-23:2010 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for visual alarm devices i
39、n 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 (see item C of Figure 1 of EN 54-1:1996). It is intended to cover only those devices which derive their operating power by means of a physical electri
40、cal 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
41、 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 detecto
42、rs or on the control and indicating equipment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
