2/4/8 ZONE CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL

PANEL LAYOUT/ACCESSING THE CONTROLS
The fi re alarm panel allows both keyswitch and keypad entry methods for entering access level two.
Note: Repeater Fault and Output Delays lights are not on the CFP Economy Panel.
Two levels of control are available to user(s) of this fi re alarm panel; General User and Authorised User.
1. General User Controls (access level one)
When the panel is in access level one, the indicator lights on the panel front give a comprehensive overview of the system’s
current status. Any fi re and fault conditions are clearly displayed, disablements highlighted and the status of all outputs re-
ported. For detailed descriptions of what each light means, see page 7.
The only functions that can be performed by the user when the panel is in access level one are:
• Muting the panel’s internal sounder by pressing the Silence Internal Sounder button;
• Overriding any delays (CFP model dependent - see page 3) which may have been programmed into the panel by pressing
the Silence/Resound Sounders button (only applicable when the panel
is in alarm); or
• Putting the panel into access level two (the Authorised User state) - see below.
2. Authorised User Controls (access level two)
To avoid unauthorised changes to critical parts of the fi re alarm system, controls such as silencing the sounders, resetting an
alarm condition and setting disablements are only accessible via a secure method
of entry which puts the panel into access level two.
To put the panel into access level two using keypad entry:
Enter the code 2 1 4 3 using the keypad buttons on the panel front. During the code entry sequence, the panel’s Accessed
light will pulse. If an incorrect sequence of numbers is entered after four button presses the Accessed light will stop pulsing
and you must enter the code again. When the correct code is entered, the Accessed light will be lit steady to indicate that the
controls are operative. To exit access level two, press the Exit Access Mode button.
To put the panel into access level two using the keyswitch:
Turn the key to the ‘I’ position (Note: The key cannot be removed when in this position). When the key
is in the ‘I’ position, the Accessed light will be lit steady to indicate that the controls are operative.
To exit access level two, turn the key back to the ‘O’ position.
Details of how to use the Authorised User controls can be found on pages 8 to 11 of this user manual.
