2/4/8 ZONE CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
| 9
FIRE CONDITIONS
When the fi re alarm panel receives an alarm trigger from a detector or manual call point located in a zone that is not already in
a fi re state, it will:
• Flash the general fi re and appropriate Fire Zone light(s) on the panel front.
• Activate its internal sounder.
• Start the alarm sounders and outputs including, if enabled, the remote and auxiliary outputs (provided there are no delays
applicable to the zone which is in alarm - model dependent, see page 3).
At this point the building’s fi re management plan should be executed!
Important Note: Zones which have been disabled cannot be triggered into an alarm condition (see page 10 for further infor-
mation on disablements).
Silencing the alarm sounders
• The alarm sounders may be silenced by putting the panel into access level two and pressing the
Silence/Resound Sounders button.
The alarm sounders and the panel’s internal sounder will stop sounding and the light(s) for the zone(s) in alarm and the Gen-
eral Fire light will be lit steady. The remote output will turn off , but the auxiliary output will stay on.
New zone in alarm
Should a new zone be triggered into alarm whilst the alarm sounders are silenced, the panel will:
• Automatically reactivate the alarm sounders (if programmed to do so).
• Flash the General Fire light and appropriate Fire Zone light(s) for any new zone(s) in alarm.
• Keep the light(s) for the previous zone(s) in fi re lit steady.
Manually activating the alarm sounders (i.e. to evacuate the building
• Momentarily pressing the Silence/Resound Sounders button when the panel is in access level two (see page 6) will cause the
alarm sounders to sound. Note: The panel’s remote and auxiliary fi re outputs will not be triggered when the building is manu-
ally evacuated in this way.
Pressing the Silence/Resound Sounders button again will silence the alarm sounders.
Note: If the sounders have been disabled, pressing the Silence/Resound Sounders button will have no eff ect.
Resetting the panel
• After the cause of the alarm has been investigated and cleared and the alarm sounders have been silenced, the panel can be
reset by pressing the Control Panel Reset button.
The panel will give a double beep to indicate the reset process has started and, after a few seconds, the
Fire Zone and General Fire lights will go out to indicate the process is complete. If there are still alarm triggers on any zone the
panel will go back into alarm as before.
