2.5 Panel
Status
2.5.1 Normal
All ancillary ‘off’
All sounders ‘off’
All yellow indicators ‘off’
All red indicators ‘off’
One green indicator ‘on’
Note
: When panel is first switched “on”, all zone fault LEDs will illuminate for few
seconds. This is normal.
2.5.2 Zone Alarm
Zone alarm indicator ‘on’ (Red LED);
Panel/Smoke Alarms Sounding;
Ancillary outputs activated.
The red indicator will show the zone and thereby the general location of the fire alarm.
In case of false alarms see Trouble Shooting in section 6.
2.5.3 Zone Fault
Zone fault indicator ‘on’ (amber LED);
Panel sounder sounds continuously (activate the Sounder Silence switch,
sounder will sound (chirp) once every 40 seconds until fault is cleared);
Defect Mode output activated.
2.5.4 Low Battery
With the mains disconnected, the panel operates solely off the battery. Once the
battery reaches a preset low level 12.3Vdc then the fault sounder will pulse once every
40 seconds to give an audible indication that the system is running low on capacity (all
zone fault indicators must be off). Mains should be restored as a matter of urgency.
The system will operate for a minimum 7 days from the initial low battery signal.
2.5.5 Ancillary Isolate
Ancillary (alarm) outputs can be isolated from the panel using the ancillary isolate
switch. When isolated, an amber LED built in the switch body will be illuminated, the
sounder will sound continuously and the defect mode activated.
2.5.6 Alarm Locate Switch
This mode enables the smoke/heat alarm which originated the alarm signal to be
identified. Press the ‘Locate’ switch, the amber indicator built into the switch body will
illuminate. Now place the key into the keyswitch and turn to ‘Fire’. All Smoke/Heat
alarms will now silence except the unit(s) which have of themselves activated.
