Owner's Manual 

BARFS-1 Rev 2.1.1 

 

36 of 50 

6.2.2 

System operation 

Before you apply power to your BARFS-1 system it is important to ensure that you 
advise any relevant people i.e. tenants or a security / fire monitoring company, that 
system commissioning is occurring as alarm and defect warnings will be initiated. 

6.2.3 

Power Supply 

Power supply voltage is pre-set at the factory to 13.8V DC. 

 

Step 1 

Insert the fuse holder (with fuse fitted) in the 3 way mains terminal block 
to  switch  the  mains  power  ON,  the  power  on  LED  illuminates  green. 
The panel sounder will sound and the defect LED illuminates red until 
the  battery  is  fitted.  Only  the  green  power  ON  indicator  should  stay 
illuminated green; no other facility or indicator should function.  

 
Step 2 

Remove the fuse holder to switch off the AC supply few times to check 
that the system will not false alarm. 

 
Step 3 

Connect  the  battery  leads  to  the  battery,  the  panel  sounder  will  stop 
sounding and the defect LED distinguishes. Ensure that only the power 
ON LED is illuminating. 

6.2.4 

Smoke Heat Alarm Test  

Step 1 

Proceed to each smoke or heat alarm in turn: check that the green light 
on the mounti

ng plate is ‘on’.  

 
Step 2 

Press  the  test  button  for  up  to  10  seconds  to  ensure  the  sensor 
chamber, electronics and sounder are working. A red light on the cover 
will flash while horn is sounding. The alarm will stop when the button is 
released.  

 

Where smoke/heat alarms are interconnected when pressing the test button of any 
smoke or heat alarm all alarms should sound within about 5 seconds of the first alarm 
sounding. The red alarm light on the first unit only will flash once a second and the 
alarm LED on the control panel BARFS-1 will illuminate.  

 

Pressing the test button simulates the effect of smoke or heat during a real fire and 
is the best way to ensure the Alarm is operating correctly.

 

 

WARNING: DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME. 

This will damage both the Alarm and the 

house. 

 

We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can be misleading 
unless special apparatus is used. 

6.2.5 

Alarm Output Test 

Step 1 

Ensure alarm outputs are not isolated  

 
Step 2 

Proceed  to  any  smoke  or  heat  alarm  (only  heat  alarm  if  priority  1 
selected) and press the test button, within 5 seconds the alarm outputs 
should activate.  

 
Step 3 

Check  for  the  operation  of  any  ancillary  devices  i.e.  strobe  etc 
connected to the alarm output.  

 
Step 4 

Check that the remote indicator (if fitted) illuminates 

– Red LED 

 

 

(Note: this will only illuminate while the alarm sounds)
