TXG Tyco Expert GraphicsEmergency Management System
TXG >The efficient way to control a site wide emergency
management system TXG >The efficient way to control a site wide
emergency management system
Tyco Expert Graphics is a fully featured emergency management
system that has been specifically
designed to present alarm information clearly and precisely, to
speed up response times and
ensure that the most appropriate response decisions are
made.
Single or Multiple Operator System
TXG is a true client server based systemmeaning that one
server-held databasecan be accessed by a number of
operatorworkstations and PC’s. Multiple dedicatedoperator
workstations can be positionedon-site in multiple locations for use
bysecurity and emergency managementpersonnel. In addition
non-dedicated PC’scan be connected via the IT network orremotely
over the internet for remotesystem management or
maintenancepurposes. As the system is supported by a singledatabase
any changes made areimmediately to all the users of the system.This
can dramatically reduce systemmaintenance costs.
Designed for Emergency Management
TXG is designed specifically for managingfire alarms and other
emergencies. It is fully integrated with redundantcommunications to
existing and new firealarm panels and provides a speciallydesigned
user interface arranged to beeasy and intuitive to operate for
crewand other emergency responders. The user interface is designed
to bespecifically suitable for operating via atouch screen with
gloved hands and canbe installed in such a way that thesoftware
program cannot be accidentallyshut down. Integration features such
asvideo, email and analogue data are donein such a way that it is
optimised for usein emergency situations.
Features:
■ Provides annunciation,statusdisplay,and control in both
normaland emergency situations
■ Developed by Tyco specifically toprovide monitoring and
control offire protection life safety systems
■ Supports a range of fire detectionsystemsMinerva®

paths to 2120Zettler ZetfasWormald PBS16Tyco Fast 2000
■ Multiple workstations can beconfigured for specific functions
orredundant operation
■ Single monitor or two monitor (text and graphics) support at
eachworkstation
■ Link up with I.P. CCTV camera systems,no additional wiring,
reducedinstallation cost for a fully integratedfire/CCTV system
■ Compatible with Flamevision® FV300array based IR flame
detectors withbuilt in CCTV
■ MX Hotspot, chromatic analoguedisplay. Programmable tracking
ofanalogue values. Changes displaycolour in response to changes
inanalogue value from a selectednumber of MX devices
■ Trending diagrams of analoguevalues helps reduce
maintenancetime and cost
■ Export analogue values to Excel forin depth analysis
■ Audio descriptions of screens canbe played when they are
displayedor played when an event occurs
■ High level user interface allows enduser to make changes to
pointattributes and layout further reducinglifetime cost of
ownership
Video Verification
The IP Video feature allows real-timeimages of the area at risk
to be displayedin the event of an alarm or fault. Video capture of
the affected area appearson the TXG screen automatically,allowing
the severity of the situation tobe assessed quickly and the
appropriateexecutive action to be taken. For less serious
incidents, expensiveand unnecessary plant shut downs canbe avoided.
In more critical situations,accurate information can be quickly
andefficiently communicated to the responseteam and provide the
opportunity toreduce financial loss and greatlyimprove safety.
We’re riding a wave in Emergency Management Systemsfor the
international marine business
Working in partnership with Ship’s Operators, Tyco Marine
Services have
designed the Tyco Expert Graphics (TXG) System to incorporate
‘State-of-
the-art’ fire system monitoring that is presented in an easy to
use format
making it obvious to users where a problem has occured.
Designed to work with our T2000 Analogue/Addressable control
panel,
the graphic displays can automatically change colour depending
on the
situation (e.g. temperature or smoke levels) to enable better
emergency
response. In addition when an incident occurs as well as
displaying the
information audio messages can also be played.
By networking TXG workstations crew can immediately see what
is
happening and plan their response from multiple locations on
board the
vessel. TXG interfaces with many systems so e.g. CCTV pictures
can be
displayed along with graphics and text messages.

management system
TXG - How it all comes together
…From a Single Fire Alarm PanelConnected to a TXG Server…The
modest additional cost of a single TXG client/server is easily
justified when the benefitsthat a Graphical User Interface bring
are considered.
...To a Complex installation with multiple Diverse Networks and
Distributed Clients
Large ship facilities may havea number of fire
detectionnetworks, possibly installedover an extended period
oftime. TXG can be used as ahub to integrate thesesystems with a
numberclients providing annunciationand control where it is
needed.

Long Term Support
Tyco Expert Graphics providesannunciation, status display, and
controlfor various fire detection and alarmsystems including
Minerva® MX networksincorporating the latest MX Technology®fire
detection. It also supports thepredecessor Minerva® fire
detectionsystems thus ensuring that future updatesfrom Minerva® to
MX Technology® canbe accommodated. TXG also has thecapability to
interface with various otherlegacy fire detection panels and
offersinterfaces to Zettler® Zetfas andWormald® PBS as standard.
This levelof flexibility ensures that TXG can beused to manage mega
yachts or largecruise ships with a variety of fire andemergency
systems.
Support for two monitors. Typically onemonitor displaying the
graphics and asecond monitor displaying the currentalarm/event
list.
Simplification
Much of the work involved in configuringTXG has been simplified
through theautomatic import of panel configurationsand the ability
to use a wide range ofinput data file types including GIF,
JPG,bitmap, AutoCAD®, Vector and WAV files.
System maintenance can be carried outvia the high level user
interface with theability to edit the position and attributesof
point icons as well as make changes todrawing layouts. As well as
simplifyingmaintenance, being a true client serverapplication means
that a number of on-siteor off-site workstations can interrogate
thedatabase with pre-defined security levelsto facilitate the
required combination ofaccess and control.
TXG is totally Scaleable
MX Hotspot

display to representan environmental change. TXG uses theanalogue
values from smoke, temperatureor gas sensors to adjust the colour
of azone. This not only helps with verificationof emergency
situations but provides aquick visual indication to
EmergencyResponders and Security personnelwhether or not it is safe
to enter an areaduring emergency situations.
CCTV Integration
TXG is compatible with AmericanDymanics Intellex® or Axis IP
camerasand Video IP servers and can be used forintegrating new or
existing CCTV systems.
Notification by Email
When an events occurs TXG can sendnotification texts by email or
SMS to apredefined group of people when anevent occurs. On a day to
day basis thiscan automate first line response to faultsand during
emergencies can alertpersonnel, on and off site, to selectedevents
and emergencies.
Audio Notification
Audio files can be played in response tospecific user interface
screens or specificevents. This ensures that emergencysituations
are quickly drawn to theattention of key staff and that new
orinexperienced staff are quickly remindedof the required
response.
