Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a device for configuring a fire detection system. It applies in particular to the securing of public and private sites. STATE OF THE ART

Securing private or public sites against the risk of fire requires effective detection of this risk. In order to detect a risk of fire, for example, a set of smoke sensors is deployed on a site. These sensors measure a quantity of smoke in the ambient air that they compare to a limit value and emit an audible signal in the event of an overrun, for example. In order to qualify a deployed system from safe, one must conduct a check with firefighters of the effectiveness of the system. To carry out this verification, a number of typical foci are placed near the sensors and it is observed whether the sensors detect these foci well. However, in case of non-detection, the diagnosis is imprecise because it is limited to the fact that the detector did not detect the typical focus.

Beyond installation, the costs and effectiveness of maintenance also depend on such a diagnosis.

An improved diagnosis allows an operator to perform a configuration of a fire detection system during installation, maintenance or testing in the following ways:

In the case of a sensor detecting a value of a physical quantity near the sensor that is too small, it is possible for the operator to move the detector until a satisfactory value is obtained so that the device secures the place of operation .

It is also possible to set the detection limit value of the detection means to adjust the sensitivity of the device. This aspect, in particular, may be useful when the number of sensors available is limited.

In the case where a power source has a low energy level, it is possible for an operator to change it and thus to ensure future operation of the device.

The system can be configured so that an operator can change the recipient of the messages before the start of maintenance, installation or testing. alarms so as to not inadvertently warn the emergency services during these operations.

The system can be configured to change the stored locations of the sensors in a control panel. This allows, in addition, to accompany the physical displacement of a sensor from one place to another by a change of addressing in the memory of a central alarm. This configuration change, moreover, does not require manual intervention at the central alarm from an operator.

Finally, such a configuration allows an operator to quickly identify a detector of the device.
