SYSTEM OPERATION
Fire alarm
During normal operation the only active indication on the control panel is the green Supply Pre-
sent LED. The LCD shows the system normal message and the time, date and company name, if
utilised.
The control keyswitch should be in the OFF position and the key should be removed and stored
in a secure place, readily available when required.
If a manual call point is activated, or an automatic detector senses smoke or heat, a fire alarm
signal is generated and the following occurs:
1
The alarm sounders operate in accordance with the programmed configuration. This is
normally a general evacuation (continuous) alarm throughout the building, but may be an
alert (intermittent) signal, or alarm in certain parts of the building only.
2
The common FIRE LED flashes on the front panel.
3
The relevant zone LED flashes (1-64).
4
The LCD illuminates and shows the event information.
5
The internal buzzer pulses rapidly.
6
The remote output operates and signals the fire brigade (if this has been
configured in the system).
7
Remote control functions are initiated in accordance with the program, e.g.
doors closed, ventilation shutdown, etc.
The actions to be taken in the event of a fire alarm should be fully documented and implemented
immediately upon hearing the alarm.
After the event, note the event details, i.e. the activated zone and the device details if not already
determined.
