On the fascia of the controller, are two red buttons, and a series of lamps that warn of
the specific functions of the controller.The 'Power' lamp will flash green once every five
seconds to instruct the user that all is well. Each of the five 'Zone' lamps has two
colours - Red for Alarm;Yellow for fault. In the event of an alarm from a detector
connected to that zone, the lamp will illuminate Red and a buzzer will sound
continuously, indicating the location of the alarm. Pressing the 'Silence' button, followed
by the 'Reset' button can reset this.
In the event of a zone fault, the specific zone lamp will flash yellow once every five
seconds and the buzzer will beep with each flash. Again pressing the 'Silence' button,
followed by pressing the 'Reset' button can reset this.
The final 'Fault' lamp will illuminate to indicate a fault condition with the controller.The
lamp will flash once every five seconds and the warning buzzer will beep with each flash.
In the event that the power lamp is extinguished, and the 'Fault' lamp continues to show
fault, this indicates that the batteries are in a low condition and should be replaced as
soon as possible.
Each Cig-Arrete Smoke Detector is fitted with an integral red LED lamp, visible once the
detector has been installed. Immediately after power up, the LED on each of the
detectors will flash for a period of two minutes.This indicates that the detector is
learning its environment and as such is functioning correctly. If an alarm is sensed, the
Detector transmits the condition to the controller and then repeats the two minute
flash period again, thus allowing the location of the alarm to be visually confirmed.The
Detectors will reset themselves automatically once the cause of the alarm has been
removed.
Under normal conditions, a set of batteries should operate for up to 12 months,
although this will be affected by the number of alarms, and the length conditions being
allowed to remain for a continued period of time.
The system may be powered from a 6 volt D.C. power source, which may be connected
to the external supply terminals provided on the terminal block on the controller back-
plate. Additionally, a Remote Alarm Indicator (part no. CSA-RAI), may be connected to
allow remote monitoring of the system controller.
The controller has been fitted with a selector switch on the back of the main printed
circuit board.The removal of this jumper will facilitate the use of a 'Silent Mode' of
operation, when used in conjunction with the Remote Alarm Indicator.
NOTE: ONCE THE SYSTEM IS POWERED, SHOULD THE BATTERIES BE REMOVED, IT
IS NECESSARY TO WAIT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE RE-POWERING THE SYSTEM.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INACCURATE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM.
