4.3 What to do When Re-Enabling Zones with
Latching Detectors

•  Before re-enabling any zone that has latching detectors,

a walk round of the zone in question should be carried out
to check that all detectors and manual call points are not
indicating a fi re condition.

•  If there are no detectors or manual call points showing the

fi re condition then the zone can be re-enabled at the panel.

•  If there are detectors or manual call points showing the fi re

condition then the panel should be reset to clear the fi re
condition before the zone is re-enabled.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE 
WILL RESULT IN THE PANEL ENTERING A FULL ALARM 
CONDITION WHICH WILL EVACUATE THE SITE AND 
ACTIVATE ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT ATTACHED TO THE 
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
