8. FIRE ALARM TONE FACILITY (OPTIONAL)
The Guardian 3 Warden Call system may be fitted with an optional fire alarm tone facility which is linked
to the main building fire alarm system.
If the main fire alarm system detects a fire, the alarm bells or sirens will sound and an auxiliary fire
alarm tone will also be sounded through all the Intercom Units on the system.
The fire alarm tone is an intermittent WARBLE TONE and is different to all other tones the system
normally uses.
The fire alarm tone can also be started manually by entering a special code using the Portable Master
Unit keyboard.
1. Enter
1003
using the Portable Master Unit keyboard.
2. Press the
SPK
key once, the fire tone is now sounded through ALL Intercoms.
3. Press the
CAN
key to return the system to normal operation.
9. OPERATING MODE
The Guardian 3 Warden Call system may have the facility for connection to a remote Central Control
answering station to ensure 24 hour alarm coverage.
The system can be switched to Central Control operation (offsite mode) via the keyswitch or the
Portable Master Unit keyboard. The keyswitch module indicates onsite mode with a green LED and
offsite mode with a red LED.
If the system is operating in the ONSITE mode and an alarm call remains un-answered for a preset time
period (typically 6 minutes) the system will automatically select the OFFSITE mode and divert the call
to Central Control.
The system monitors the telephone line and should a fault develop this will inhibit calls from being
transferred to Central Control. A telephone line fault will be reported on the Portable Master Unit and
may also flash a BT Line Fault beacon.
