AUTOMATIC OPERATIONS OF SYSTEM
2.1 FIRE: Automatic Actions
If the system detects a fire alarm, the panel always carries out the following actions automatically:
a) Operation of the internal (high-pitched) fire sounder.
b) Flashing of red lettered FIRE annunciator lamp, numbered red ZONE lamp, and (in some
events) red NEW ALARM lamp.
c) Display and printing (if printer installed) of the event.
d) Operation of the fire transfer relay (for fire brigade alert).
e) Operation of sounder circuits and remote Control modules according to the Control Matrix
programme, which was configured in the panel when the system was commissioned.
f) If any delayed operations are incorporated in the Control Matrix programme, a warning
message appears on the text display every 4 seconds, indicating how much time is left until
the first delayed control will be activated.
2.2 FIRE: Recommended Operator Actions
a) Press MUTE INTERNAL SOUNDERS pushbutton. Additional information about the
occurrence appears on the display. Flashing lamps change to steady operation. The internal
fire sounder changes to intermittent operation (once every 12 seconds).
b) Follow prescribed instructions for evacuation of premises, notification of Fire Brigade and
investigation of source of Fire.
c) If additional sounder operations are required in order to achieve a complete and immediate
evacuation of the premises, press the EVACUATE pushbutton.
d) Once evacuation of premises is achieved, or at the direction of an authorised person, the
Alarm sounders may be silenced by pressing the SILENCE SOUNDERS pushbutton. If there
are any delayed operations for which the timer has not yet expired, these are also cancelled
by pressing SILENCE SOUNDERS.
e) To re-start sounders after having pressed SILENCE SOUNDERS, press the SILENCE
SOUNDERS pushbutton a second time. You must wait at least 10 seconds after having
originally silenced sounders before exercising this option.
f) When cause of alarm has been removed and call points and input devices have been locally
reset, the system may be returned to NORMAL by pressing RESET pushbutton.
2.3 PRE-ALARM: Automatic Actions
This is the condition when one or more input devices has signalled a PRE-ALARM to the panel - i.e.
a reading which is higher than normal but not yet at the FIRE level. The following actions are always
carried out automatically:
a) Operation of the internal (high-pitched) fire sounder, intermittently (once every 12 seconds).
b) Flashing of amber PRE-ALARM lamp.
c) Operation of those programmed control outputs which are associated with pre-alarm events,
if there are any specified in the Control Matrix configuration.
d) Display and printing (if printer is installed) of the event.
2.4 PRE-ALARM: Recommended Operator Actions
a) Press MUTE INTERNAL SOUNDERS pushbutton. Additional information about the
occurrence appears on the display. Flashing PRE-ALARM lamp changes to steady operation.
b) Check condition of detector indicated and check area for possible fire. If the cause cannot be
determined notify authorised Servicing company.
c) Once cause of pre-alarm has been cleared press RESET pushbutton.
