6. FAULT CONDITIONS
6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT
When a Fault occurs on a critical part of the Fire Alarm System, the Panel responds by activating its Internal buzzer and
illuminating the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relating to the Fault. The Panel’s Fault relay will also
activate. The types of Faults typically indicated at the Fire Alarm Panel are described below: -

General
Fault
The General Fault lights when there is a Fault on any part
of the Fire Alarm Systems It is usually lit in tandem with
at least one other fault light which conveys more
precise information on the type of Fault detected.
If this light is lit by itself, it indicates a keyswitch fault.
Zone Fault
The relevant Zone Fault light flashes when there is a
wiring problem on a Zone or detector has been removed from
its base. It should be noted that any alarms raised on the
fault zone(s) may not be recognised by the Fire Alarm Panel
until the Fault Conditions have been cleared. It can take up to
60 seconds from repairing a fault for the display to clear.
Short Circuit Fault
If the Fault is a short circuit fault, then the S/C LED will be lit.
This GEN S/C LED will be lit for S/C faults on the zone
and sounder circuits. It can take up to 60 seconds from repairing
a fault for the display to clear.
Power Supply Fault
The Power supply Fault light flashes when the Mains supply
has failed or the standby batteries or its charger is faulty. If
the mains supply fails, the panel will only operate for the
standby period dictated by the size of the batteries fitted. If
the batteries or charger fails at the same time as the Mains,
the Panel will be inoperative.
System Fault
The System Fault LED lights when the Panel’s micro-processor
has Reset, typically after excessive electrical interference, or if
the contents of its memory have been corrupted. This fault can
only be cleared by turning the key switch from off position to
control enable position and then turn key to off position again. If
the fault re-occurs within two minutes, this is indicative of a
corrupt memory and expert advice should be sought.
