FIRE ALARM USER NOTICE
Note
The Fire alarm system installed in this building has ‘Alarm Confirmation’ technology to help
eliminate false alarms.
Please read and understand the following information
in order to make the most use of the
system
.
Operation
When the detector within your area activates it will initially only operate the sounders within your
own area for a predetermined ‘Confirmation’ time. This time is given below.
At the end of the ‘Confirmation’ time the system will check the detector again to see if the activation
has cleared. If so then the sounders will silence and no further action need be taken.
If, however, the detector is still activated then the entire system will go into alarm, operating all the
sounders on the system.
Action Required
If you think that you may have accidentally set off the fire alarms then check the following:
If the fire alarm within your area only is sounding, then check your own area for the cause of the
alarm. If this proves to be a false alarm due to dust, cooking fumes, steam, cigarette smoke, etc,
then clear the smoke/steam from the area in order to allow the system to reset itself after a few
minutes. If this happens then no further action is required. If the sounders in the communal areas
are also sounding, then follow the buildings fire regulations for evacuation.
If you discover a genuine fire, then follow the buildings fire procedures for evacuation, activating the
nearest Fire Alarm manual call point on the way out if the alarms are not yet sounding.
Do not attempt to put out the fire unless it is safe to do so.
Further Information
Further information will be located adjacent to the Main Fire Alarm Control Panel, or may be
