Testing the Installation
At the MFP Main panel, power up the system by connecting the Mains supply. The MFP Main panel will
go through the Reset cycle and then settle after a few seconds with PSU and General Fault LEDs lit and
the Fault beeper sounding intermittently. Connect the batteries and the panel will move to the Normal
state, with the green Mains On LED lit.
At each Repeater carry out the following test procedure:
•
Check the green Supply Healthy LED is lit steady.
•
Turn the keyswitch to Arm Controls, then press the Evacuate button. The General Fire LED will be
lit on the Repeater panel and the system Alarm Sounders will be active.
•
Press the Silence button, the Alarm Sounders should cease and the General Fire LED will be lit steady
with the fault beeper sounding intermittently.
•
Press the Reset button, which will cause the Repeater to enter the Reset / Lamp / Beeper Test cycle
during which all the Fire, Fault and Power Supply Healthy LEDs should flash and the beeper should
sound momentarily. Pressing the Reset button on a Repeater whilst the keyswitch is in Arm Controls
will also cause the MFP Main panel to execute a Reset cycle. If there is no Fire Condition and no
faults present after the Reset cycle then the MFP Main and MFP Repeater panel(s) will return to the
Normal passive state.
Fault Conditions
Repeater Scanning Fault
Symptoms:
General Fault LED + Beeper on front of MFP Main panel.
Repeater Transmitter PCB indicator LD3 lights periodically and indicator LD4 flashes ‘n’ times, where n =
the address of the missing MFP Repeater(s).
Repeater(s) flagged as missing, or non-functional.
Cause 1:
Open or short circuit wiring to Repeater(s).
- Green Power Supply Healthy LED extinguished on Repeater(s) effected.
Solution 1:
Disconnect the Repeater(s) and check the wiring. The voltage on the Repeater network should average
between 15 - 20V. (Note the measured voltage will fluctuate due to the communication voltage
excursions.)
Cause 2:
Repeater has failed.
Power Supply Healthy and Local Fault LEDs flash.
Power Supply Healthy LED lit but otherwise no response to system state changes.
Solution 2:
Change the Repeater.
