The following steps suggest the method to be used in handling alarms
using the Fire Brigade Panel (f.b.p.), i.e., the area of the keyboard within
the red border. Note these instructions do not apply to a Remote FBP
provided for non-fire brigade use (as the Remote FBP keyboard may be
disabled during alarm to prevent clearing critical alarm information).
1. Silence Buzzer.
Pressing the
SILENCE BUZZER
key will stop the
sounding of the internal buzzer due to the alarm. The buzzer will re-
sound if a new alarm occurs.
2. View alarm(s).
Identify the zone and point in alarm (and for
subsequent alarms if more than one) and decide on action. Press
NEXT
to see the third and subsequent alarms. For detailed information about
each alarm see Viewing Alarm Details on page 2-5.
3. Investigate the alarm(s).
If an emergency condition exists, facilitate
evacuation and rescue. If the alarm is a nuisance alarm, identify the
device in alarm, and, where possible, the cause. If the alarm is caused
by a CO detector check all adjacent rooms and spaces for any source of
CO. CO is a colourless and odourless gas and moves by diffusion.
4. Silence/Resound Alarm.
If evacuation of occupants is no longer
considered necessary then SILENCE/RESOUND ALARM can be
pressed to turn off the alarm devices (occupant warning system). The
Alarm Devices Activated LED will turn off and then the alarm devices
themselves will turn off (this may take a few seconds). Note that a
separate EWIS or sound system for emergency purposes will need to be
silenced at that unit.
