012: Modernizaion of old Siemens fire alarm system

Advantages of migration and updating the obsolete systems are as below:

• New systems are based on updated standards.
• Procurement of spare parts of legacy system is not easy and cost effective.

We have below different solutions for modernization of an old Algorex or Synova series of Siemens fire alarm system (Depend on the situation of the project):

1- Replacing new Sinteso detectors designed for old protocols.

• (FDOOT241-A3, FDOOT241-A5, FDOOT241-A9 with modernization base or adaptor base)

2- Replacing Sinteso card inside the Algorex panel.

• (E3M140 Line module "FD20") and use the new Sinteso field devices.

3- Replacing Cerberus PRO control panel and use the related card for required protocol (FC723/FC726):

• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Interactive card: FCL2006-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Analoglus card: FCL2005-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Interactive EX card: FCL2007-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Collective card: FCL2001-A
• Migration of Synova systems – Synoloop card: FCL7201-Z3

4- Repalcing Sinteso Control panel and use the related card for required protocol (FC2060/FC2080):

• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Interactive card: FCL2006-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Analoglus card: FCL2005-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Interactive EX card: FCL2007-A1
• Migration of AlgoRex systems – Collective card: FCL2001-A
• Migration of Synova systems – Synoloop card: FCL7201-Z3

5- Replace all control panel and field devices with new products in CerberusPRO, Cerberus FIT or Sinteso:

• Siemens control panels
• Siemens detectors
• Siemens manual call points
• Siemens input output modules
• Siemens sounder flashers

• Any replacement on the addressable loop (field devises) of Algorex panels, need reprogramming via the commissioning software (Algoworks) and commissioning tools (Algorex modem and dongle).
• If you have monitoring system (MM8000, Desigo CC, Siwenoid etc.) you must update them as well.
