Auto/Manual operation
When in
‘manual’ mode, the following will occur during a detection and release process:
i.
If a zone is enabled and it detects a fire, the panel will log the detection and operate like
normal. All appropriate outputs will activate, sounders will sound, the piezo will activate, etc.
ii.
If a SECOND zone activates, the panel will log the detection but will remain in Fire 1 and will
not advance to Pre-Release or Release.
iii.
If the system is placed back into
‘automatic’ mode, it will then advance to Pre-Release or
Release and proceed like normal.

The extinguishant release switch allows the user to manually
release the extinguishing agent from the RSI. To operate the
switch, the user must pull down the protective cover and then
push the
release
button.
The auto/manual key switch allows the user to place the fire
alarm system in ‘automatic’ or ‘manual’ operation modes. When
set to the default ‘automatic’ mode, the SRP Control Panel will
operate in a normal fashion and will advance to release through
automatic detection methods. The ‘manual’ LED will blink if the
‘manual’
mode has been set from the SRP Control Panel or by
another RSI, and will be continuous if the adjacent key switch has
been turned.
When set to ‘manual’, the SRP Control Panel’s zone circuits will
not advance the system into release. In this mode, the only way
to release the extinguishant is to manually activate it.
