Alarmanlagen - Einbruch- und Überfallmeldeanlagen -- Teil 2-6: Anforderungen an Öffnungsmelder (Magnetkontakte)
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt für die Grade 1 bis 4 (siehe EN 50131-1) exklusiv oder nicht exklusiv verdrahtete oder drahtlose Öffnungsmelder (Magnetkontakte) und beinhaltet die Anforderungen an vier Umweltklassen, die die Anwendungen in Innenräumen und im Freien liegende Einsatzorte entsprechend EN 50130-5 abdecken. Ein Melder muss alle Anforderungen des festgelegten Grades erfüllen. Zusätzlich zu den in dieser Europäischen Norm verbindlich festgelegten Funktionen darf ein Melder über weitere Funktionen verfügen, sofern diese nicht den ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb der verbindlichen Funktionen des Melders beeinträchtigen. Die beiden Bestandteile des Öffnungsmelders (Magnetkontakt) werden in dieser Europäischen Norm Melder genannt. Diese Europäische Norm wird nicht auf Verbindungen zwischen Anlageteilen angewandt.

La présente Norme Européenne est prévue pour les grades de sécurité 1 à 4 (voir la EN 50131-1), les détecteurs d’ouverture à contacts (magnétiques) filaires spécifiques ou non spécifiques ou non filaires, et inclut les exigences pour les quatre classes d’environnement couvrant les applications localisées en intérieur et en extérieur telles que définies dans la EN 50130-5. Un détecteur doit satisfaire à toutes les exigences du grade spécifié. Des fonctions complémentaires aux fonctions obligatoires spécifiées dans la présente Norme Européenne peuvent être incluses dans le détecteur à condition qu’elles n’influencent pas le bon fonctionnement des fonctions obligatoires. Les deux parties séparées du détecteur d’ouverture à contact (magnétique) sont dénommées dans la suite de la présente Norme Européenne sous l’appellation détecteur. La présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas aux liaisons entre systèmes.

Overview
SIST EN 50131-2-6:2009/IS1:2014 is a European standard developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) that specifies requirements for opening contact detectors (magnetic contacts) used in alarm systems, specifically intrusion and hold-up systems. This standard addresses both wired and wireless magnetic opening contacts, outlining requirements for use in indoor and outdoor environments across four environmental classes. It provides guidance for security grades 1 through 4, as defined in EN 50131-1.
The standard ensures that detectors operate correctly within their designated security grade, and allows for additional, non-interfering functions. It is a key document for manufacturers, installers, and certifiers of magnetic opening contact detectors, as well as for security professionals responsible for specifying alarm system components.
Key Topics
- Security Grades: Covers grades 1 to 4 for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems, ensuring appropriate levels of protection based on application and security needs.
- Wired and Wireless Devices: Applies to both hardwired and wireless (wire-free) magnetic opening contact detectors.
- Environmental Classes: Includes requirements for detectors used in a range of environments, both internal and external, referring to EN 50130-5.
- Mandatory Functions: Detectors must fulfill all functions required for their specified security grade, while optional features may be added if they do not impact mandatory operations.
- Test Procedures: Provides requirements and clarifications for test magnets, ensuring reproducibility and backward compatibility during laboratory assessment.
- Definition of Detector: Both parts of the magnetic opening contact (the magnet and the switch) are referred to collectively as the detector in the standard.
Applications
The provisions of SIST EN 50131-2-6:2009/IS1:2014 are essential for:
- Alarm System Manufacturers: Ensuring magnetic opening contact detectors comply with European security and environmental standards for reliable performance.
- System Designers and Installers: Selecting appropriate detectors for specific risk environments and security grades, enhancing the effectiveness of intrusion and hold-up alarm systems.
- Testing Laboratories: Referencing standardized procedures for reproducible, stable testing of magnetic contact detectors, including selection and calibration of test magnets.
- Compliance and Certification Bodies: Assessing devices for conformity with European directives related to alarm and security systems.
Practical use of this standard leads to increased security, reduced false alarms, and consistent performance of alarm components across varying environmental conditions.
