PRE-ALARM CONDITIONS
Pre-alarm conditions are designed to warn the user that a smoke or heat detector is registering an
increase in conditions that could lead to a fire. Pre-alarms must be taken seriously as a fire condition
could be imminent.
In the event of a pre-alarm condition:
• the panel’s internal sounder (if enabled) will pulse;
• the panel’s display will show details of the smoke or heat detector which is in pre-alarm, for example:
Should there be more than one
detector in pre-alarm, the top right
hand corner of the display will read
‘More.
↑↓
’ and can be scrolled through
using the panel’s
5
or
6
buttons.
FAULT CONDITIONS
If a part of the fire alarm system fails due to detector failure, wiring fault, etc.:
• one or more of the panel’s Fault indicators will flash;
• the panel’s internal sounder (if enabled) will pulse;
• the panel’s display will show an appropriate fault message (in the case of a faulty manual call
point, for example, the zone on which the faulty call point is located will be displayed):
Should there be more than one fault
condition, the top right side of the
display will read ‘More.
↑↓
’ and you
can scroll through them using the
panel’s
5
or
6
buttons.
Press the More Information button to view additional details about the displayed fault. For device specific
faults, the actual device that has triggered the fault condition will be shown. For other faults, information
pertinent to that fault will be displayed instead (if available).
For device specific faults, pressing the More Information button again will display the unique ID code
and address location of the faulty device for the benefit of service engineers, etc.
In the event of a fault condition, the designated responsible person on site should:
• Mute the panel’s internal beeper by pressing the Silence Internal Sounder button.
(Note that any new faults will restart the beeper.)
• Note down the nature of the fault(s) in the Fire Alarm Log Book (pages 21 to 26)
• Take appropriate steps to ensure the fault(s) is/are rectified.
