  • Patent number: 10885771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a condition monitoring unit for a fire detection and/or extinguishing control unit. The condition monitoring unit comprises at least one current circuit connection for connecting the condition monitoring unit to at least one current circuit, wherein the current circuit has at least one participant which detects an event. The condition monitoring unit further comprises a measuring device for measuring values of currents and/or voltages at the current circuit connection and an analysis unit in which one or more threshold values can be stored. The analysis unit is designed to detect, in an operating mode at least, an event in which values of currents and/or voltages measured by the measuring device exceed or fall below the at least threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20180342150
    Abstract: The invention relates to a condition monitoring unit (18) for a fire detection and/or extinguishing control unit (12). The condition monitoring unit (18) comprises at least one current circuit connection (16) for connecting the condition monitoring unit (18) to at least one current circuit (14), wherein the current circuit (14) has at least one participant (M1-MN) which detects an event. The condition monitoring unit (18) further comprises a measuring device (42) for measuring values of currents (IL) and/or voltages at the current circuit connection (16) and an analysis unit (43) in which one or more threshold values (P1, P2) can be stored. The analysis unit (43) is designed to detect, in an operating mode at least, an event in which values of currents (IL) and/or voltages measured by the measuring device (42) exceed or fall below the at least threshold value (P1, P2).
