Intelligent Electronic Control System
 Introduction
EN OPV - Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Colt EN OPV (One Per Vent) is an
intelligent electronic control system,
which enables all addressable equipment
to be integrated within a total smoke
control system.
Whilst it is primarily intended for fire
safety applications, it may be designed to
assume the role of a building management
system controlling all manner of natural
ventilators and dampers.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
Proven performance
As life safety equipment, all EN OPV
components meet the most stringent
manufacturing and test procedures. Its
communication network uses the proven
and robust Apollo protocols.
Conforming to the latest standards
EN OPV has been designed to be in
compliance with PrEN 12101-9 (Smoke
and heat control systems - Control Panels)
and PrEN 12101-10 (Smoke and heat
control systems - Power Supplies). The
system will be tested and CE marked to
these standards as soon as they are finally
published. In the absence of any
Standards in force, EN OPV complies
with EN 54 (Fire Detection and Alarm
Systems).
EN OPV is CE marked for compliance
with the Machinery Directive, The Low
Voltage Directive and the Electro-
magnetic Compatibility Directive.
Flexible
Each EN OPV panel can control up to
1000 addressable units and 20 control
zones. With additional remote fire
override panels, the number of control
zones can be increased to 80. The
maximum number of these remote panels
is 15.
Addressable
Addressability provides accurate control.
Each addressable unit can be controlled
individually and as part of the specified
automatic control system. The control
software is configured to suit the
automatic scheme requirements and
should these change, it is a simple matter
of reprogramming the software
accordingly.
Ventilation equipment is generally
configured into operational zones.
However individual control can be
provided to meet specific building
requirements if needed.
Complete control
Besides the ability to re-configure the
system in response to alterations in the
scheme, the user can operate the system
manually at the control panel keypad and
can amend the daily parameters such as
the temperature settings and operating
times.
Monitoring and diagnostics
Software and hardware watchdogs detect
faults in the system and then act upon
these in a logical controlled fashion.
These actions extend from merely
flagging up an alarm to putting the
system into failsafe mode, depending on
their severity. Faults are recorded in an
event log. This feature obviates the
potential for system freeze.
Low maintenance
OPV systems are very low in
maintenance requirements.
Minimal power requirements
230v / 1 ph / 1A load for control panel.
3A fuse recommended.
The Colt OPV System is the
most advanced smoke control
system available on the market

HOW IT WORKS

EN OPV offers two independent power

sources to operate ventilators, as
prescribed by EN 12101-10. During
normal operation the ventilator is powered
from the mains, which also charges the
integrated battery back up module. The
control system monitors the health of the
communications network.

The system is so designed that if there is a

power failure and no fire signal, all
ventilators powered from the UPS move
to a default operational position
maintained for a minimum time period
before reverting to their pre-programmed
emergency position, unless power is
restored. In normal circumstances the
default operational position will make the
ventilators close thereby reducing the
prospect of water ingress. The minimum
time period is determined at the design
stage and varies between 12 and 72 hours
depending on the number of battery
packs.
