Unit Sounds
Call Point unit periodically beeping after an alarm has been reset
Call Point needs to be manually reset using the key provided.
Base Station beeps frequently
System warning. If alarm has been raised, LCD screen will display
‘ALARM ALARM ALARM’ together with details of which unit has raised the
alarm.
If another warning is given, check the warning code against the Base
Station warning code table (see overleaf).
Silencing the Alarm
Note: It is vital to confirm that there is no fire hazard before silencing the
alarm. Do not attempt to open the unit or deactivate by removing the
battery.
The alarm must be silenced either by using the reset key or at the Base
Station.
The fire alarm will automatically silence 30 minutes after activation.The fire
alarm can be manually cancelled from a call point that has been pressed
using the reset key provided. If necessary, a call point on a nearer fire
point can be pressed and then reset to cancel the alarm.
Please wait for 5 seconds between pressing and resetting a call point.
After the alarm has cleared the system has a short (2 minute) re-
arm period during which the sirens will sound intermittently, and the
amberwarning LEDs flash in groups of 5, following which the system is
re-armed and ready for use.
During the re-arm period, the alarm cannot be reactivated. It is therefore
vital to confirm that there is no fire hazard before silencing the alarm.
All call points which have been activated must be manually reset using the
key.
Any fire point units with activated call points will periodically beep after
the re-arm period has ended as a reminder that the call points need to be
mechanically reset using the key before they can be used to raise a fire
alarm.
1) Insert reset key with tab to the right as shown below.
2) Push key in as far as possible
3) Turn key anti-clockwise until a loud mechanical click is heard.
4) Remove the key
Ensure the call point is fully reset before removing the key. Partially
resetting a latched call point after the fire alarm has been cancelled can
retrigger the fire alarm.
