Operation 

6.1

 

Normal use 
The F-Link network is designed to be transparent in normal use.  The linked systems will communicate with each 

other using the F-Link as a wireless bridge.  The display on each F-Link provides status information and gives 

details of alarm messages.  Any alarms or faults are signalled by relay outputs to the controlling equipment for 

notification as required. 
Daily: 

Each F-Link unit status display should be visually checked and any faults reported to the relevant 

maintenance organisation. 

Weekly:  Send a signal between all F-Link units and check that they are communicating correctly (this might be 

as  part  of  the  normal  weekly  fire  alarm  test).    Any  issues  should  be  reported  to  the  relevant  

maintenance organisation. 

At an appropriate maintenance interval (e.g. 6 months) the F-Link network should be thoroughly tested for full 

and correct operation by a suitable maintenance organisation, normally as part of the maintenance of the linked 

system/s (e.g. Fire Alarm System). 
Any faults detected by the F-Link system are reported on the display, by triggering the fault relay, and operating 

a local fault sounder.  This sounder can be muted by pressing the SND MUTE button, but it will re-start if a new 

condition is detected. 

6.2

 

Status LED’s 

 

POWER:  Unit has power. 

 

ZONE:  A zone input or output is 

active. 

 

FAULT (ON):  Indicates a 

communication fault, 

either local (FP-Link) or 

radio (Link Fail). 

 

FAULT (FLASH):  Test mode is active. 

 

RESET:  Unit is resetting (via key 

or remote input). 

 

TRANSMIT:  Unit is transmitting, 

either to update zone 

status or as a regular (30 

sec) announcement / 

poll. 

 

DISPLAY:  Scrolls to show details of 

all current events.  Any 

‘Priority’ events are 

shown on top of other 

messages. 

6.3

 

Reset 
The default configuration for the F-Link units is for the outputs to self-reset once clear.  However, if any outputs 

have been set to operate in Latched mode then they will need to be manually reset once triggered. 
To reset the F-Link, insert the key into the keyswitch on the underside and turn to the reset position then return 

to normal.  The F-Link will reset and clear any triggered zones. 

6.4

 

Test mode 
Each F-Link can be placed in test mode using the keyswitch on the underside of the unit.  F-Links in test mode 

will beep intermittently and operate their fault relay to warn of the impairment, as will the Master.   Whilst in 

test  mode  the  F-Link  will  not  trigger  its  output  relays  or  cause  other  F-Links  to  trigger  their  output  relays,  

although messages are displayed as usual (so that message transmission can be checked).  Any F-Links not in 

test mode will operate as usual.
