7. DISABLEMENTS
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For example, if
there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for example, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to
disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards. During a disablement of a zone(s), no fire or fault signal
will be processed for that zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm state can be disabled, that is zones already in fire cannot be disabled.
External sounders can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
7.2 TO DISABLE A ZONE
A zone can be disabled as follows:
Enter the user access code (Default code is 0001). The controls Active LED will light. Press the menu access icon to bring up the user
menu. Select ZONES icon. Scroll to the required zone, and then press the "IN" field until the required disablement is shown. (The
panel can disable Zone inputs, zone outputs, or the whole zone). Disable further zones as required. Then select exit. The panel asks
to confirm the disablements.
When a zone has been disabled, the General Disablement LED will be lit and also the zonal disablement LED. The LCD also displays
the disablements
To re-enable a disabled zone, repeat the same procedure used for disabling the zone, selecting Enable instead of Disable.
7.3 TO DISABLE A POINT
Rather than disable an entire zone, it is often useful to just disable one or more input devices (detector, call point, or interface)
within a zone, especially if they are malfunctioning and likely to cause a false alarm or repeatedly indicate a fault.
To disable a device / point follow the same procedure as in 7.2 but select POINT instead of ZONE, followed by DISABLE.
Once a point is disabled, the panel ignores any alarms or faults generated by it.
If all points in a zone are disabled, the panel will indicate a zone disablement. If subsequently one or more devices are re-enabled
then the zone disablement indication will be automatically cancelled.
To display any disabled point, press the disabled loop devices icon. The panel will show a list of disabled addresses
To re-enable a disabled point, repeat the same procedure used for disabling the point, selecting Enable instead of Disable.
7.4 TO DISABLE A SOUNDER
Enter the user access code (Default code is 0001). The controls Active LED will light. Press the menu access icon to bring up the user
menu.
Select either the zone menu to disable all sounders in a zone, or select point menu to disable individual sounders.
The on board conventional sounder outputs are disabled through the LOCAL I/O menu.
When any sounder has been disabled, the General Disablement and Sounders Disablements LED will light up.
7.5 TO DISABLE A RELAY
Relay outputs can also be disabled. These are disabled in the same way as sounders
