6. THE FAULT CONDITION
The fire alarm panel monitors itself, and any equipment connected to it, for any faults that can occur. If a fault occurs, the panel
responds by activating its Internal buzzer and lighting the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relevant to the particular
fault. The panel will also display the fault on its LCD display. The Panel’s Fault relay will also activate. If there is more than one fault,
the MORE DATA LED will light. The user can either wait for each fault to be scrolled automatically on the LCD, or scroll manually
through the list of faults using the up and down buttons.
6.1 FAULT INDICATIONS
The panel has the following yellow FAULT LEDs:
COMMON FAULT, SYSTEM FAULT, SOUNDER
FAULT/DISABLEMENT/TEST.
There are 16 Zone LEDs which are used to indicate Zone Faults /
Disablement / Test in Zones 1 – 16. (Conditions in zones 17 to
254 are displayed on the LCD Screen)
COMMON FAULT
The Common fault LED is lit for all types of fault.
ZONE FAULT
The relevant Zone Fault light flashes when there is a wiring problem on a Zone or detector has been removed from its base. It
should be noted that any alarms raised on the fault zone(s) may not be recognised by the Fire Alarm Panel until the Fault Conditions
have been cleared.
SYSTEM FAULT
The System Fault LED lights when the Panel’s micro-processor has Reset, typically after excessive electrical interference, or if the
contents of its memory have been corrupted.
SOUNDER FAULT
If there is a fault on the loop sounders, the line sounder fault LED will light along with the zone that contains that sounder. Because
the sounder is addressable, any fault will be indicated as a device fault.
6.2 WHAT TO DO IF A FAULT CONDITION OCCURS
If a fault occurs, the responsible person should:
Enter user access code and press the SILENCE BUZZER button.
Write down the fault (s) in the Log Book at the back of this Manual. Take appropriate action to correct the fault (usually by
contacting the service engineer).
When a fault has been rectified the indicator light for that fault stays on until the RESET button is pressed. If the fault condition has
not been rectified, the fault indication will only clear temporarily when the RESET button is pressed.
Similarly, pressing the RESET button will clear the General Fault light (LED) and silence the Panel’s Internal Sounder (buzzer). If any
fault(s) have not been rectified these will come back on again a short time later.
