Viking Clunid DCP-1
Clunid – the heart of modern fire protection
The information from all fire detection and monitoring elements converges in modern fire detection and suppression control panels. They receive events, evaluate them, provide fire alarms and important status information, automatically control suppression systems and other fire case-dependent actions, and initiate tests of critical functions. Thus they form the heart of modern fire protection systems.
The Clunid DCP-1 is a modular fire detection and suppression control panel that can take over all relevant monitoring and control functions in fire protection systems – precisely tuned and compiled to meet specific customer and project requirements. Its possible applications are almost unlimited. In addition, the unique Clunid control panel generation is characterized by a particularly high level of operational safety and very simple operation.

Configuration software and service tools
LogicManager
The LogicManager is the configuration software for the Clunid DCP-1. As with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), it is structured according to a building-block concept and consistently separates logic and hardware. For example, it is possible to switch back and forth between loop and conventional functions at any time without having to start the configuration again. This offers flexibility and reduces the project time.
Through automatic plausibility checks, the LogicManager prevents user errors already during configuration. In addition, it has a fully implemented redo and undo concept as well as numerous logic blocks with further features.
The LogicManager’s menu navigation supports the user during configuration according to the selected standard (for example EN or FM). In addition, standardized and pre-configured function blocks are available in LogicManager for the standard-compliant control of suppression systems.
Legally required documentation also becomes easier. The LogicManager automatically generates clear system documentation. This greatly simplifies the adaptation of the documentation in case of configuration changes or changes in use.
ServiceAssistant & ServiceBox
ServiceAssistant
To support maintenance work on the Clunid DCP-1 on site, fitters and technicians can use the ServiceAssistant to read out the actual status of the control panel as well as event and history messages at any time during operation. Information and images can be easily stored and retrieved later for follow-up work. In addition, various parameters can be directly adapted to the installation conditions on site.
Documentation of activities during commissioning, maintenance, inspection or troubleshooting is also done in the ServiceAssistant. A structured concept grants different authorizations depending on the technicians’ level of knowledge and experience.
ServiceBox
The ServiceBox is connected to the Clunid DCP-1 via a USB interface. The technician can carry out uploads and downloads of LogicManager’s configuration as well as service activities via the ServiceBox, wirelessly via a Wi-Fi connection. A system update of all control panel components is thus done via one interface, so that this process does not require any special knowledge or tools. The licensing concept ensures that only authorized persons work on the control panel.
One control panel for all cases
Thanks to its powerful processor performance in combination with the diverse extension possibilities with function modules and zone control panels as well as the flexibility of a programmable logic controller (PLC), there are almost no limits to the use of the Clunid DCP-1. It takes over a wide variety of monitoring and control functions in fire protection systems – even with high complexity and in extensive systems.
The Clunid DCP-1 is used, among other things:
- As a pure fire detection control panel for alarm
- As a combined fire detection and suppression control panel or pure suppression control panel for gas suppression systems (single-zone and multi-zone systems)
- As a monitoring panel for water suppression systems
- For the control of deluge valves with and without external reset
- For control and monitoring of pre-action dry alarm valves
- For monitoring of preaction sprinklers
- For control and monitoring of water mist suppression systems
- For control and monitoring of foam suppression systems
- For fast evaluation of fire detector signals and instantaneous suppression system actuation
- For providing important status information, for example to an Inveron hazard management system
- For monitoring and control of flow switch test units
- To initiate further tests of critical functions
- To control further fire case-dependent actions
- To control and monitor hydrant systems in loop technology
Applications and approvals
Whether in a complex multi-zone suppression system, in sprinkler systems with a large number of flow switches to be tested regularly or in systems for instantaneous fire suppression – the Clunid DCP-1 is the perfect choice when simple fire detection and suppression control panels reach their limits. Due to its high protection class, the Clunid DCP-1 is also well-suited for industrial environments.
Typical areas of application are:
- Power plants
- Automotive plants
- Data centers
- Chemical industry
- Food industry
- Recycling
- Production
The Clunid DCP-1 fire detection and suppression control panel is CE-certified and approved by VdS Schadenverhütung, FM Global, MOE (Ukraine) and CNBOP (Poland). Numerous regional and local approvals are in preparation.
