can receive and display multiple Medical Alerts on the Base
Station, and these can be managed and cancelled individually.
Multiple medical alerts are displayed in chronological order, and
prioritised over other system messages except fire alarm.
In the event of a Fire Alarm being raised while a Medical Alert is active,
the system will give priority to the Fire Alarm. Any Medical Alert that
was active prior to the Fire alarm, will remain in the WES
3
system and
be displayed once the Fire alarm has been resolved.
Unit Alive Indication
Active units with no faults will flash their green LED once every 4
seconds to indicate that the unit is operational.
Amber LED Indication
Each WES
3
unit monitors itself for a number of faults. These are
indicated via the amber LED, which will flash in grouped patterns with
longer than usual gaps in between them.
Units displaying one of these patterns require further investigation and
should not be relied upon as part of the fire alarm and detection system
until the fault has been corrected. Use the chart below to determine the
nature of the issue:
Group Flash 1 - Low Battery
Group Flash 2 - Low signal
Group Flash 3 - Unpaired
Group Flash 4 - Tamper
Group Flash 5 - Re-arm or
Unit latched (potentially input
latched on Interface unit only)
Red LED Indication
If a detector has raised the alarm, its red LED indicator will flash during
a fire alarm.
It is recommended that the fire system is tested weekly or whenever
a significant change has been made to the installation or the building
under construction. WES
3
is equipped with a system test function
that allows you to test the radio link between units without activating
an audible fire alarm. You can therefore ensure each unit in the
system has a robust radio link with sufficient capacity to allow for
environmental fluctuations without disturbing the site.
Raising a Medical Alert
The medical alert can be raised from any call point by pressing and
holding the B button for 2 seconds, until the alternating amber-green
LEDs flash repeatedly.
Raising a medical alert sends a message to the Base Station. It does
not trigger any alert on other units.
Cancelling a Medical Alert
The medical alert can be cancelled either from the call point used to
create it, or from the Base Station.
To cancel from the call point, press and hold the B button for 5
seconds, until the alternating LEDs turn off.
To cancel from the Base Station, scroll to the alert on the Base Station
Screen and press enter, scroll to Yes, then press enter to confirm. The
access code is required to cancel a medical alert. The default PIN
number is 1234.
