LED TEST / SCROLL
When the Optima Fire Alarm Panel is set into alarm by a Detector or Manual Call Point located in a zone that is
not already in alarm it will: -
•
Light the General Fire LED and appropriate Zone Fire LED(s) on the front of its enclosure
•
Sound Internal buzzer
•
Start the Alarm Sounder and Auxiliary output, (provided there is no Delay set on the sounders).
The building evacuation procedure should now be followed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: If a zone has been disabled, it can not be triggered into Alarm. This should be
remembered when disabling part of the system. (see Disabling zones or sounders later in this manual).
5.2 TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SOUNDERS
•
The Alarm Sounders may be silenced by turning the control key to “Control Enable” position and momentarily
pressing the Start/Stop button.
The Alarm Sounders will cease to sound but the light(s) for the Zone(s) in Alarm and the red General Fire light will
stay lit. The Auxiliary Fire relay will remain active. (The Panels internal buzzer can also be silenced by pressing
the Silence int flt button (button 2)).
5.3 A SECOND ALARM SIGNAL FROM A NEW DETECTION ZONE
If another detection Zone is activated after the Alarm Sounders have been silenced, the panel will: -
•
Restart the sounders
•
Light the Zone Fire LED(s) for any new Zone(s) in alarm
•
Keep the light(s) for the previous Zone(s) in fire, and General Fire lit.
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP (I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING).
•
With the control key in “Controls Enabled” position, momentarily pressing the Start/Stop will cause the Alarm
sounders to sound.
Pressing the Start/Stop button again will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
Note: If the Alarm Sounders have been disabled, pressing the Stop/Start button will have no effect.
5.5 RESETTING THE PANEL
•
Check the cause of the alarm activation. If the cause of the alarm was an activated call point, reset it (if
resettable type), or fit a new glass element (if glass type). If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation
(eg cooking smoke), the smoke will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can be reset. Reset
the panel by pressing the reset button (3) after the sounders and panel buzzer have been silenced.
•
If the call point is still active, or the detector is still smoky, this will cause another alarm straight after the
panel is reset, so will set off alarm bells again.
