8) Fault Status Indicators
The system’s self-diagnostics provides warning alerts for all faults which require the
attendance of an authorised service engineer.
8.1 Fault priority
a) After the Fire Alert condition, faults are prioritised in the following order:
i) FP FAULT 1
ii) FP LINK FAULT
iii) ANTENNA MISMATCH
iv) TRANSMIT FAULT
v) MAINS FAILURE
vi) LOW BATTERY
vii) BATTERY FAULT
viii) LOW BAT CHARGING
8.2 Identified Faults
i) FP FAULT 1
a) If the Fire Panel Fault input is activated (by going open circuit), the status display will
indicate the zone activated e.g. “FP FAULT 1”, the yellow fault LED will light and the
sounder will beep every second. This condition will remain until the input goes closed.
b) An “Other Fault” message will be transmitted, which may be received by a suitably
programmed pager or group of pagers if required (must be specified at time of ordering).
Note: whilst the FP FAULT input is active, “TX IN SERVICE” transmissions to the
pagers are suppressed. If the FP FAULT condition remains for more than two
minutes, the pagers will display “NO SERVICE” until the fault condition is cleared
(whereupon the TX IN SERVICE transmissions will resume). This acts as an
additional safety feature to ensure that all users of the system are aware of the fact
that the host fire alarm system is faulty or inoperative.
d) The FP Fault message will always be prioritised immediately after the Fire messages
and ahead of any other fault messages.
e) The Common Fault output to the host Fire Alarm panel will change to the closed state
(normally open relay contact).
