Description

The present invention relates to a detector test system for a fire alarm facility that tests a fire detector using a test jig.

  Conventionally, in fire alarm equipment, periodic inspections are performed during operation of the equipment, and a detector test is performed in which a fire detector is actually operated using a test jig.

  The sensor test is performed by two testers, one for the receiver and one for the sensor. The tester on the sensor side uses a test jig provided with a test head at the tip of the support pole, and attaches the test head from below so as to cover, for example, the smoke sensor, and in this state, smoke flows from the test head. The smoke detector is operated by operating the smoke detector by a reed switch using a magnet, etc., and the tester of the receiver confirms whether there is a fire reception accompanying the operation test of the fire detector. The test work is progressing while communicating with intercoms.

  Thus, at least two testers are required for the sensor test, and a sensor test system that can be performed by one person is expected for the purpose of reducing the number of work steps. For example, the receiver is equipped with a printer that detects fire reception and prints out the test results. The test of the fire detector installed in the alert area is performed using a test jig. It is a sensor test system that judges whether a fire sensor that has performed an operation test is normal or abnormal by looking at the recorded contents.

  In such a sensor test by one tester, since there is no tester on the receiver side and a fire alarm recovery operation from the receiver accompanying the sensor test cannot be performed, prior to the sensor test, for example, For district acoustic alarms, perform an alarm stop operation, and for the main acoustic alarm issued from the receiver, perform an operation to set the alarm to be output only while the fire detection signal is received, regardless of the recovery operation. Will do

JP 05-151478 A

  However, in such a sensor test system that enables a sensor test by one conventional tester, an operation test of a fire sensor installed in a warning area by a tester using a test jig. If the test is performed, the tester will issue a test and the receiver will not know if it has been received successfully. Compared to the tests that are being performed, the situation on the receiver side cannot be grasped in real time. There is a problem that increases.

  In addition, if a fire actually occurs during the test work of the sensor, a fire alarm is output from the receiver, but it can be distinguished whether this fire alarm is due to a sensor test or due to an actual fire. There are also cases where it is difficult to get on and it is sometimes difficult to hear the alarm sound from the receiver, and it takes time to notice the fire, and there is a possibility that it cannot be promptly and appropriately dealt with.

  In addition, if the tester learns of a fire during the sensor test, he needs to return to the receiver and output the district acoustic disaster warning, which takes time until the district acoustic alert is output. is there.

The present invention provides a detector test system for a fire alarm system that allows the operation of the receiver to be confirmed and allows the test operation of the detector to proceed without anxiety even in a test operation by one tester. With the goal.

(Basic effect)
A detector system for a fire alarm facility according to the present invention is a telephone line adapter that is connected between an input / output port provided in a control unit of a receiver and a telephone line and transmits a signal from at least the input / output port to the telephone line. A radio line adapter that is detachably connected to the telephone connection terminal of the transmitter, converts at least a signal received from the telephone line adapter into a radio signal, and receives and processes a radio signal from the radio line adapter When a fire signal is received from the fire detector in the sensor test mode setting state including a predetermined sound stop alarm, the control unit of the receiver is provided with a test notification signal for the mobile terminal. Is output to the input / output port and transmitted to the mobile phone terminal via the telephone line adapter and the wireless line adapter, and the control unit of the portable terminal is connected to the telephone line adapter and the wireless line adapter. When the test report signal from the control unit of the receiver is received via the test signal, the test report by the sensor test is notified. When a fire alarm is received after a fire alarm is received, a test alert signal is transmitted from the receiver, and the test alert is displayed and displayed from a mobile terminal such as a smartphone held by the tester. It is informed by sound, and it can know in real time that the fire reception by the fire alarm test has been performed normally, and by knowing the operation of the receiver, even one tester can test without anxiety The work can be carried out, and it is not necessary to return to the receiver in the middle of the work to confirm the launch of the printer, and the work load can be greatly reduced.

  Also, when performing sensor test work, by connecting the wireless line adapter prepared as a portable test device to the telephone connection terminal (phone jack) of the transmitter installed in the monitoring area where the test work is performed, It can be connected to a telephone line adapter built in the receiver via a telephone line, and it can form a wireless communication area that can be connected to a mobile terminal around the place where the transmitter is installed. Since transmitters are always installed in each warning area divided by floor, for example, a wireless communication area that can be connected to a mobile terminal is surely formed in the warning area where the sensor test is performed, and a place away from the receiver Even so, the test report can be reliably transmitted to the portable terminal owned by the tester to enable notification.

(Effects of notification of test report recovery)
In addition, the control unit of the receiver receives a fire signal from the fire detector and sends a test alert signal. The alarm recovery signal is output to the input / output port and transmitted to the portable terminal via the telephone line adapter and the wireless line adapter. The control unit of the portable terminal is connected to the receiver via the telephone line adapter and the wireless line adapter. When a test alarm recovery signal is received from the control unit, the test alarm recovery due to the completion of the sensor test is notified, so the tester performs a fire alarm alarm test using a test jig. After confirming the operation of the receiver with the notification of the mobile terminal, when the fire detector returns after removing the test jig, it is possible to confirm the recovery of the test alarm on the receiver side with the mobile terminal. More details on receiver operation Understand it, it is possible to proceed with the test in peace work.

(Effect of fire alarm)
In addition, the control unit of the mobile terminal determines that a fire has occurred when it receives the test report signal again after receiving the test report signal from the control unit of the receiver via the telephone line adapter and the radio line adapter. Since the fire alarm is output, the test report is not repeated twice in the test work by one tester. Therefore, it is judged that the fire is detected when the second test report is received by the mobile terminal. By notifying the fire alarm, the fire that occurred during the test work by one tester can be surely known and dealt with promptly and appropriately.

(Effect of automatic release of maintenance inspection mode based on fire judgment)
In addition, the control unit of the receiver is set to output the main sound alarm while receiving the fire signal while stopping the district sound alarm in the sensor test mode setting state. When a fire is judged, the unit outputs a fire alarm and transmits a sensor test mode release instruction signal destined for the receiver to cancel the sensor test mode of the receiver and switch to the fire monitoring mode. Therefore, the detector test mode of the receiver is automatically canceled in response to an instruction from the mobile terminal, and in the same way as during normal monitoring, a fire alarm (main acoustic alarm and district An audible alarm), enabling a quick and appropriate response to a fire that occurred during the sensor test.

(Effects of notification of line number or sensor address)
In addition, when a plurality of wireless line adapters are connected to telephone connection terminals provided in a plurality of transmitters and a plurality of mobile phone terminals receive and process a wireless signal from each wireless line adapter, the control unit of the receiver The test signal for broadcasting to all mobile terminals and the test report recovery signal including the line number or sensor address that received the fire signal are transmitted, and the control unit of the mobile terminal When a signal or test report recovery signal is received, the test report or test recovery by the sensor test and the line number or sensor address are reported, so that, for example, a plurality of monitoring areas with different lines, for example, different floors Even if multiple testers conduct the test of the fire detector installed in the same time in parallel, it is received by the fire alarm test report that you have tested from the line number displayed on the mobile terminal It is possible to know the operation, enabling simultaneous testing by multiple testers, and greatly reducing the work time required for the sensor test of the fire alarm equipment installed in a large-scale facility. It is possible to increase. In this case, fire alarms based on re-reception of the test report signal by the mobile phone terminal are prohibited.

In the sensor test, the tester sets the sensor test mode by operating the operation unit 35 of the receiver 10 shown in FIG. 2, sets the stop of the district sound alarm and the fire signal interlock of the main sound alarm, and When the plug 26a of the wireless line adapter 26 is inserted into the telephone jack 18 of the transmitter 16 installed in the alert area where the sensor test is performed, and the communication test button 74 on the initial screen 72 is operated in this state, the mobile phone terminal A predetermined communication test signal is transmitted from 28.

  A communication test signal transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 28 and destined for the receiver 10 is sent to the control unit 30 of the receiver 10 via the wireless line adapter 26, the telephone line 12b, and the telephone line adapter 24, and the communication test signal is transmitted. The control unit 30 that has received normally transmits a communication test confirmation signal destined for the mobile phone terminal 28 to the USB port 42, which is transmitted via the phone line adapter 24, the phone line 12 b, and the wireless line adapter 26. Sent to. When the mobile phone terminal 28 receives the communication test confirmation signal from the receiver 10, as shown in the initial screen 72 of FIG. 4B, a message 76 “communication connection normal” and “start sensor test” is displayed. Is displayed and the tester is instructed to start the sensor test.

  If the communication test fails, an error message is displayed on the initial screen 72, and the tester confirms the insertion of the plug 26a of the wireless line adapter 26 into the telephone jack 18 of the transmitter 16 and performs the communication test again.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the tester 22 uses the test jig 20 to test the fire detector 14, the fire detector 14 performs an alarm operation and causes the alarm current to flow through the fire alarm line 12a. Thus, the control unit 30 of the receiver 10 shown in FIG. 2 detects a fire signal from the line receiving unit 32 that has detected the alarm current, and outputs a main acoustic alarm from the speaker of the alarm unit 36, and also a USB port. A test report signal addressed to the mobile phone terminal 28 is output to 42.

  This test report signal is sent to the mobile phone terminal 28 held by the tester 22 via the telephone line adapter 24, the telephone line 12b, and the wireless line adapter 26. The mobile phone terminal 28 is shown in FIG. A message “Confirm test report” is displayed on the test report screen 78 shown, and a predetermined notification sound indicating the test report is output, whereby the tester 22 receives the test report from the fire detector 14 as a receiver. 10, it can be confirmed that the reception operation has been normally performed.

  Upon receiving this confirmation, when the tester 22 removes the test jig 20 from the fire detector 14 and completes the alarm test, the fire detection state of the fire sensor 14 is canceled and the alarm operation is stopped and recovered. For this reason, the control unit 30 of the receiver 10 detects that the fire signal from the line reception unit 32 has stopped, and outputs a test report recovery signal addressed to the mobile phone terminal 28 to the USB port 42.

  This test report recovery signal is sent to the mobile phone terminal 28 held by the tester 22 via the telephone line adapter 24, the telephone line 12b, and the wireless line adapter 26. The mobile phone terminal 28 is shown in FIG. The test alarm recovery screen 80 shown in FIG. 6 displays a message “Confirm test alarm recovery” and outputs a predetermined notification sound indicating recovery of the test alarm, whereby the tester 22 ends the test of the fire detector 14. On the other hand, it can be confirmed that the reception recovery operation has been normally performed by the receiver 10, and the test of the next fire detector is started.

   FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a fire alarm screen displayed on the mobile phone terminal when a fire is detected during the detector alarm test.

Also when the reception of the fire signal in the case of notification is detected, the test notification signal destined for the mobile phone terminal 28 is transmitted.

  For this reason, when the control unit 46 of the mobile phone terminal 28 shown in FIG. 3 receives the test report signal and displays the test report screen again, it receives this test report signal. Is determined to be a test report signal due to a fire that has actually occurred, switches to the fire alarm screen 82 shown in FIG. 6, displays a fire alarm, outputs a predetermined fire alarm sound, and gives a fire alarm to the tester. Inform.

  Further, the control unit 46 of the mobile phone terminal 28 transmits a sensor test mode release instruction signal addressed to the receiver 10 based on the fire determination. The control unit 30 of the receiver 10 that has received the sensor test mode cancel instruction signal cancels the sensor test mode set at that time and switches to the normal fire monitoring mode setting.

  The receiver 10 cancels the prohibition of the district acoustic alarm by canceling the sensor test mode, and controls the district acoustic device provided in the line system that detects the fire to output the district acoustic alarm. The receiver 10 cancels the main sound alarm fire signal interlocking by canceling the sensor test mode, and continues to output the main sound alarm even if the reception of the fire signal is cut off.

  For this reason, the tester who knows that a fire has occurred by the fire alarm output of the mobile phone terminal 28 returns to the receiver 10 and automatically switches the receiver 10 to the normal fire monitoring mode without releasing the sensor test mode. It becomes possible to return and perform fire alarm control.
