1 Safety
The FIREvac is safe to operate provided it has been installed in compliance with the manufacturer's
instructions and used in accordance with this User’s Guide.
Do not operate the FIREvac with its enclosure open. There is no need to open the
enclosure except to carry out commissioning, maintenance and remedial work. This
work must only be carried out by competent service personnel who are fully conversant
with the contents of the separate engineering manual for this product and have the
necessary skills for maintaining this equipment.
If the enclosure is damaged in any way, expert advice should be sought regarding its repair.
2 Service and Maintenance
Regular servicing of the FIREvac voice alarm system is highly recommended, preferably on a
continuous maintenance contract and by a competent organisation. A full-itemised report of the
installation should be obtained at least annually.
If any fault occurs (see overleaf for details), call your maintenance engineer, as detailed below:
MAINTENANCE COMPANY NAME:

All faults should be recorded in the fire detection system’s log book and appropriate action should be
taken to correct them. Please read the information overleaf for detailed information on the types of fault
that may occur and how to action them.
3 Fault
Conditions
When a fault occurs, the FIREvac responds by illuminating its general fault light and any other fault
light(s) relating to the fault condition (see below for descriptions of typical faults). The FIREvac’s fault
relay also activates to report the fault to the host fire detection system.
A continuous buzzer may also sound at the FIREvac to draw your attention to the fault. If required, this
can be muted by pressing the Silence Internal Sounder button on the front of the FIREvac.
All faults should be recorded in the fire detection system’s log book and appropriate action should be
taken to correct them. Note that all FIREvac faults (except system faults and amplifier faults) are non-
latching so when the fault is cleared, provided no other faults are present, the FIREvac’s fault buzzer (if
active) and all relevant fault indicators will clear.
