PANEL OPERATION
NORMAL OPERATION
With the controls inactive, under normal conditions the system will be silent and the green
“POWER LED” illuminated. The LCD will display “SYSTEM NORMAL”
The system may either be in “Automatic” or “Manual” mode of operation. This will be evident
by the illumination of either the “Automatic” or Manual” LED. In Manual Mode, the bottle
output will not be activated automatically. It must be started manually by pressing a
manual release call point.
FIRE ALARM CONDITION
The Premier EXPro signals an alarm by the following:-
Turn on the General Fire LED
Turn on the Zonal Fire Indicator
Turn on internal buzzer
Start any sounders connected to the panel`s sounder circuits
Activate the First Stage (fire) relay. (Note that the first stage repeater output will not
activate. This only operates on an alarm from one of the crossed zones)
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.
1.
Follow the building evacuation procedure, and check that everyone has left the building
safely.
2.
The building fire officer or suitably trained responsible person should CAREFULLY enter
the building, and locate the area of the alarm from the fire alarm panel.
3.
Investigate to determine the cause of the alarm. Look for the detector in the zone in
alarm that signalled the fire. The detector that signalled an alarm will have its RED ALARM
LED on.
4.
If a small fire is found, a suitably trained person could tackle this with a suitable fire
extinguisher.
5.
If a larger fire is found, leave the building immediately, and contact the fire brigade.
6.
If no fire is found, make a note of the detector that signalled fire, and look for anything
nearby that could be the cause of the activation, e.g. cooking, or use of a hot air gun etc.
7.
Record findings in the fire alarm log book.
RESETTING FROM AN ALARM CONDITION
After the relevant action has been taken, the Premier EXPro fire alarm panel can be reset by the
following:-
1.
Gain user access to the panel by entering the password (default 2222)
2.
Press Start/Stop 1
st
Stage Sounder button, this will silence the external sounders.
3.
Press Silence Buzzer button. This will silence the panel`s internal buzzer.
4.
Press the Reset button. This will return the panel to its normal condition. If the panel goes
straight back into alarm, then the cause of the alarm has not been cleared. This could be a
detector still exposed to smoke, or a call point still in the active position. Investigate for a
call point, or detector that still has its RED ALARM LED on. Reset the call point, or clear the
smoke. If the problem persists, contact an engineer.
