Alarm Condition & Resetting an alarm
The Premier Elite 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 fire relay
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 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, eg
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 Elite fire alarm panel can be reset by
the following:-
1
Press Stop/Start sounder button (BUTTON 1). This will silence the external
sounders.
2
Press Silence Fault Tone button (BUTTON 2). This will silence the panel`s
internal buzzer.
3
Press the Reset button (BUTTON 3). This will return the panel to it`s 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. Press Buttons 1 & 2 on the panel, then investigate for a call point, or detector
that still has it`s RED ALARM LED on. Reset the call point, or clear the smoke. If the
problem persists, contact an engineer.
