WHAT TO DO IF THE FIRE ALARM PANEL SHOWS AN ALARM (RED LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of paper for transferring to the log book
later).
Follow the building procedures for fire alarm activation.
When the building has been evacuated, the sounders can be silenced by turning the key to the on position and pressing the
Start/Stop Sounder button, then pressing the Silence Tone button (Note that the sounders may take up to 8 seconds to stop).
If there is no sign of fire, investigate the area that reported the fire CAREFULLY. Check for a detector or a call point with its RED LED
lit.
If a detector caused the alarm, look for any innocent phenomena that could have activated it (Steam, cooking food, exhaust smoke,
excessive dust etc. can all activate a smoke detector). If anything is found, try to clear the room by opening a window.
If a fire is discovered, either tackle it with fire extinguishers if suitably trained, or call the fire brigade.
To reset the panel press the reset button.
If the panel goes back into alarm, silence the sounders and call the engineer.
WHAT TO DO IF THE FIRE ALARM PANEL SHOWS A FAULT (YELLOW LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of paper for transferring to the log book
later).
If the supply fault LED is lit, check if there is a power cut to the building. Check that the mains supply to the fire alarm has not been
turned off.
If the Pre-alarm LED is on constantly, this could be either a detector that needs servicing, or the start of a fire (or other phenomena
that can activate the detector). Investigate the indicated location and take appropriate action.
If the Pre-alarm LED is flashing and the screen indicates “Confirming” an alarm, this means that there may be a fire at the indicated
location, but the panel is waiting for a short time before deciding whether to indicate an alarm. If the alarm is confirmed (red LEDs)
follow the procedures for an alarm (see above).
All other fault indications will need the service engineer’s attention. Call the engineer as soon as possible. Note that when the alarm
is in a fault condition, the majority of the system may still function correctly. Extra vigilance should be paid in the area with the fault.
The alarm may not be operational in this area.
The panel’s internal buzzer can be silenced by turning the key to the on position and pressing the Silence Tone button. If the fault
comes and goes, the panel will buzz every time the fault happens. If this is not acceptable you may be able to disable the zone that
has the fault.
