7. DISABLEMENTS
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For example, if
there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for example, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to
disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards. During a disablement of a zone(s), no fire or fault signal
will be processed for that zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm state can be disabled, that is zones already in fire cannot be disabled.
External sounders can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
7.2 TO DISABLE A ZONE
A zone can be disabled as follows:
Turn the keyswitch clockwise to the CONTROLS ENABLED Position. The controls Active LED will light. Press any button followed by
the User password (default 1111). Select ZONES then DISABLE. Enter the zone(s) or range of zones to be disabled. Finally select
ACCEPT and then EXIT.
When a zone has been disabled, the General Disablement LED will be lit and also the zonal disablement LED (in one of the columns
labelled FAULT DISABLE TEST).
To re-enable a disabled zone, repeat the same procedure used for disabling the zone, selecting Enable instead of Disable.
7.3 TO DISABLE A POINT
Rather than disable an entire zone, it is often useful to just disable one or more input devices (detector, call point, or interface)
within a zone, especially if they are malfunctioning and likely to cause a false alarm or repeatedly indicate a fault.
To disable a device / point follow the same procedure as in 7.2 but select POINT instead of ZONE, followed by DISABLE.
Once a point is disabled, the panel ignores any alarms or faults generated by it.
If all points in a zone are disabled, the panel will indicate a zone disablement. If subsequently one or more devices are re-enabled
then the zone disablement indication will be automatically cancelled.
To display any disabled point, press any button followed by the User password (default 1111), and then POINTS followed by SHOW
DISABLED POINTS.
To re-enable a disabled point, repeat the same procedure used for disabling the point, selecting Enable instead of Disable.
7.4 TO DISABLE A SOUNDER
Press any button followed by the User password (default 1111). Next select SOUNDERS
On a Quatro Panel, the sounders are all enabled or disabled together
When any sounder has been disabled, the Sounders Output Disablements LED will light up.
The number of sounders affected by this can be checked by selecting the SHOW option in the sounders Menu.
7.5 TO DISABLE A RELAY
Relay outputs can also be disabled. These can either be addressable output units on any of the loops or a PCB output relay.
