In­veron of­fers a high de­gree of clar­ity by bring­ing to­gether all mes­sages and events auto­mat­ic­ally in a user-friendly in­ter­face with clear graph­ics. The cur­rent status of con­trol points can be dis­played graph­ic­ally, tex­tu­ally or as an an­im­a­tion. This ap­plies both to mes­sages for above and below threshold val­ues, which are dis­played in real time. The rapid loc­al­iz­a­tion of a prob­lem is cru­cial in pre­vent­ing op­er­a­tional down­times. In­veron helps those re­spons­ible to make cor­rect de­cisions in case of fire or mal­func­tion.

Tar­geted ac­tion is pos­sible and the highest level of safety is guar­an­teed. The sys­tem provides the op­er­ator with com­pre­hens­ive con­tinu­ous in­form­a­tion such as re­ports on main­ten­ance work and helps with on-screen mes­sages. Ac­tion pro­ced­ures can be stored and will be de­pend­able guide to the ne­ces­sary ac­tions. In­ternal pro­cesses be­come more ef­fi­cient and safer. Mon­itor glob­ally, op­er­ate loc­ally: With In­veron, sev­eral loc­a­tions be­long­ing to a com­pany can be in­cor­por­ated into an over­all sys­tem, whether on the other side of the street or on an­other con­tin­ent. Dis­tances make no dif­fer­ence. Au­thor­iz­a­tion ad­min­is­tra­tion and data sup­ply are cent­rally con­trolled. Each loc­a­tion only sees the in­form­a­tion in­ten­ded for it. Au­thor­ized op­er­at­ors can ac­cess all loc­a­tions at any op­er­ator sta­tion and get a com­pre­hens­ive over­view. Op­er­a­tion is the same every­where. It is pos­sible to switch mes­sages to an­other loc­a­tion if a se­cur­ity point is not manned. The in­form­a­tion can be re­ceived by SMS or E-mail. Minimax can as­sist with ser­vice ac­cess for troubleshoot­ing.

Ad­vant­ages at a glance

In­veron is a trans­par­ent and user-friendly sys­tem for visu­al­iz­ing and op­er­at­ing fire de­tec­tion, ex­tin­guish­ing and haz­ard de­tec­tion. All re­ports and events are auto­mat­ic­ally merged in a user in­ter­face and presen­ted on a screen. In­veron of­fers ideal mon­it­or­ing par­tic­u­larly for com­plex build­ing struc­tures. In ad­di­tion, the haz­ard man­age­ment sys­tem sup­plies op­er­at­ors with a range of ad­di­tional in­form­a­tion and sup­ports them in car­ry­ing out the re­quired meas­ures.

• Cross-sys­tem in­teg­ra­tion of all mes­sages in one in­ter­face
• Easy visu­al­iz­a­tion
• Rapid loc­al­iz­a­tion of fire events and faults
• Stored ac­tion in­struc­tions help to pre­vent mis­takes in stress­ful situ­ations
• Ef­fi­cient pre­par­a­tion of route guides
• Loc­a­tion-in­de­pend­ent mon­it­or­ing
• Event eval­u­ation through auto­matic log­ging

Auto­matic gen­er­a­tion of re de­part­ment route cards

The in­form­a­tion avail­able from the sys­tem al­lows the ef­fi­cient gen­er­a­tion of route cards for the fire de­part­ment. The re­quired data is loc­ated in a cent­ral data­base, thus re­quir­ing min­imal data main­ten­ance. This en­ables the route cards to be reg­u­larly up­dated (the route cards must not be older than two years). In the event of fire the cur­rent tick­ets are auto­mat­ic­ally prin­ted; they are avail­able when the fire de­part­ment ar­rives. De­pend­ing on the fire de­partment's equip­ment, a job ticket can also be trans­mit­ted to a tab­let in the emer­gency vehicle. This is par­tic­u­larly im­port­ant for un­oc­cu­pied build­ings. Fire de­part­ment route cards are used upon ac­tiv­a­tion of the alarm to show the fire de­part­ment the way from the fire de­tec­tion con­trol panel to the ac­tiv­ated fire de­tector. The fire de­tect­ors are as­signed to a fire de­tec­tion con­trol panel de­tector group on the fire de­part­ment route cards. In ad­di­tion to this the fire de­part­ment key depot, the build­ing ac­cess and the loc­a­tion of the fire de­tec­tion con­trol panel, pub­lic alarm trans­mis­sion device, fire de­part­ment op­er­at­ing panel and fire de­part­ment dis­play board and all fa­cil­it­ies rel­ev­ant to the fire de­part­ments are marked in. This means that one fire de­part­ment job ticket is re­quired per fire de­tec­tion con­trol panel de­tector group. These are each drawn up spe­cific to the ob­ject and are loc­ated in the im­me­di­ate vi­cin­ity of the fire de­part­ment con­tact point, in a stor­age box. Ad­di­tion­ally the cur­rent ver­sion is auto­mat­ic­ally prin­ted. Fire de­part­ment route cards are one of the pre­requis­ites for con­nect­ing the fire de­tec­tion sys­tem to the fire de­part­ment re­spons­ible.

In­veron of­fers a mul­ti­tude of in­ter­faces through man­u­fac­turer-in­de­pend­ent in­teg­ra­tion of de­tec­tion points of a wide vari­ety of fire de­tec­tion and ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems and other haz­ard de­tec­tion sys­tems. A pro­pri­et­ary pro­tocol is used for com­mu­nic­a­tion between the Minimax fire de­tec­tion con­trol panel and In­veron. The pro­tocol provides com­plete data ex­change and per­man­ent co­ordin­a­tion between the two sys­tems. This provides a quicker and, in turn, a more cost-ef­fect­ive in­teg­ra­tion of de­tec­tion points – pro­gram­ming and sys­tem setup costs are low.

A num­ber of fire pro­tec­tion sys­tems from other man­u­fac­tur­ers can be in­ter­faced: for ex­ample CCTV video mon­it­or­ing as a way of veri­fy­ing fire de­tec­tion gas de­tec­tion con­trol pan­els from pop­u­lar man­u­fac­tur­ers via Mod­bus.

In ad­di­tion to this, many other sys­tems can be con­nec­ted via in­ter­faces, for ex­ample an in­tru­sion de­tec­tion sys­tem, peri­meter mon­it­or­ing or gate con­trol. Even open stand­ard in­ter­faces (OPC, Mod­bus, Profibus, BACnet) are pos­sible. This makes In­veron de­ploy­able for the long term, even if fire de­tec­tion man­u­fac­tur­ers or sys­tems change. Fur­ther-more there is a PLC con­trol­ler for in­teg­rat­ing other sig­nals (for ex­ample heat­ing, vent­il­a­tion or fire doors).
