Abstract: A fire protection system, which is configured to communicate with a central device of the fire protection system and with at least one user terminal in order to grant the user terminal access to at least part of the system information of the fire protection system, wherein the service device processes the system information for transmission to the at least one user terminal, transmits it to the user terminal and adjusts it in response to user input. A fire protection system configured to communicate with such a service device, a system for operating a fire protection system with such a service device, and a corresponding method for operating the fire protection system is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer program product for configuration of a control center, in particular a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control center, and to an associated method. The computer program product comprises: a hardware configuration component for configuration of hardware components such as modules and/or front panel components of the control center, a logic configuration component for configuration of a functional logic of the control center, wherein the logic configuration component is designed to provide functional components. The functional components are decoupled from the hardware of the control center and embodied in such a way that reversible assignment of functional component to hardware component is made possible.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method for localizing a ground fault of a fire protection system and also a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control panel comprising a plurality of connection points, a central unit and a ground fault identification module, wherein one or more subscribers can be connected to each connection point via a connection line. The method comprises, during or after identification of a ground fault by the ground fault identification module, the following steps: disconnecting the connection lines of one, more or all of the connection points by opening switching elements until at least no ground fault is identified by the ground fault identification module, and then connecting the connection lines successively for each connection point by closing the respective switching element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting with the commissioning and/or maintenance of a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control center (12) comprising a central control unit (30), a plurality of functional modules (14a-14g) and at least one data interface (36). A display unit (40) is connected to the central control unit (30) by means of the data interface (36), and an information mode which can be activated and deactivated is respectively assigned to each of the functional modules (14a-14g). Information is respectively stored for each of the functional modules (14a-14g), wherein, by activating the information mode of a functional module (14a-14g), the stored information relating to that functional module (14a-14g) whose information mode has been activated is displayed using the display unit (40) or tablet computer (44). The invention also relates to a system for carrying out the method and to a functional module.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method for localizing a ground fault of a fire protection system (1) and also a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control panel (10) comprising a plurality of connection points (60a1, 60a2, 60b1, 60b2, 60c1, 60c2, 60d1, 60d2, 60e1, 60e2, 60f1, 60f2, 60g1, 60g2), a central unit (31) and a ground fault identification module (30), wherein one or more subscribers can be connected to each connection point (60a1, 60a2, 60b1, 60b2, 60c1, 60c2, 60d1, 60d2, 60e1, 60e2, 60f1, 60f2, 60g1, 60g2) via a connection line (23a-c, 24, 25, 26, 27).
