1. FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL SAFETY ISSUES
When the Smart Connect panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the front cover must be closed.
This equipment will operate safely provided it has been installed correctly in compliance with the Installation Manual.
It is recommended that the system is serviced frequently. It is customary to arrange a regular maintenance contract with a
competent organisation. (Ask the installation company for recommendations). The system needs a thorough maintenance check
annually at the very minimum.
If any part of this Fire Alarm Control Panel becomes damaged, contact the company responsible for system maintenance to arrange

2. THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
1.
A Fire Alarm System is used to provide an early warning of a fire, so that the property can be evacuated and the fire
extinguished if it can be safely tackled, or the local fire brigade called, according to the company evacuation procedure.
2.
An Alarm can be raised from Smoke or Heat Detectors, or manually by a person operating a Manual Call Point.
3.
To split the building into Zones, each covering a different area of the building. This will indicate which area of the system is
giving the alarm (or fault).
4.
To start its sounders, and indicate which zone (area of the building) has signalled the fire. It will also activate its fire relay.
Fault Monitoring
The panel checks all circuits for line integrity. If a part of the system has a problem, which may affect its operation, a fault warning
must be given by the fire alarm panel (LED & buzzer indication). The fault relay will also activate.
Disablements
An engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active (e.g. extending a detection zone). During
such circumstances, it would be advisable to disable that zone, so that it will not give false alarms. Similarly you may wish to disable
a zone that has a fault that has not been fixed, or a zone covering an area with a temporary unusual environment, such as an area
which is dusty because of construction work etc.
Power Supply Equipment- General Description
The Smart Connect panel has a switch mode power supply capable of supplying 2.5 Amps in total. It contains a current limited
output for charging sealed lead acid batteries (7 Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for mains supply failure, the battery not taking
a charge, the battery having a high resistance, and low battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below approximately 20VDC (a
fault condition), the battery charging current will be turned off, thus stopping charging. If there is also a mains failure at this time,
the PSE will turn off.
