2/4/8 ZONE CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
| 10
FAULT CONDITIONS
When a fault occurs on a critical part of the fi re alarm system, the panel responds by activating its internal sounder and il-
luminating the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relating to the fault. The panel’s fault output will also activate
(provided it hasn’t been disabled). The type of faults typically indicated at the fi re alarm panel are described below:
In the event of a fault condition:
• Mute the panel’s internal sounder by pressing the Silence Internal Sounder button (the panel does not have to be in access
level two to do this).
• Record the fault(s) in the Fire Alarm Log Book (page 14) and take appropriate action to correct it/them.
See User Responsibilities (page 5).
When a fault has been rectifi ed the indicator light for that fault is automatically turned off . If all faults are cleared, the General
Fault light will go out, and the panel’s internal sounder will be silent (if not already muted). If the fi re alarm panel is reset any
existing fault(s) will reappear as before and the silencing process will have to be repeated.
