100 zones (40 zones on a standalone panel) then it is also indicated by the zone indicator flashing red. If the user touches Accept then the zone indicator will remain on but stop flashing. RDM0001/3_2 Page 11 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 12: Fire Indications
Zone Indicator Flashing Red The panel has detected a fire in the zone shown. The General Fire indicator will always accompany this and the internal buzzer will be fast pulsing. RDM0001/3_2 Page 12 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 13: Fault Indications
The General Fault indicator will be illuminated accompanied by the ‘Aux Supply Fault’ indicator. RDM0001/3_2 Page 13 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 14: Network Fault
A fault has been detected on the monitored path to fire protection equipment. This may be a wiring fault or a fire protection interface fault. The connection to the fire protection equipment is no longer reliable. Expert advice should be sought immediately. RDM0001/3_2 Page 14 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 15: Disablement Indications
Fire Protection Disabled Activation and faults on the fire protection equipment output are inhibited. The fire protection equipment output will not activate in the event of a fire. RDM0001/3_2 Page 15 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 16: Other Indications
The alarms, fire link or fire protection equipment output may not activate immediately in the event of a fire. RDM0001/3_2 Page 16 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 17: System Delays
Silence button is touched before a delay has expired. In general, delays only apply to automatic detector activations whilst a manual activation on a zone (Activating a Manual Call Point) overrides delays. RDM0001/3_2 Page 17 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
Page 18: Coincidence/Dependency Operation
‘coincidence’ modes where a confirmation signal is required. The confirmation signal is normally the same or a second device generating a fire signal. Mode ‘C’ is the standard coincidence mode used in Protec fire alarm systems. Coincidence operation is used to minimise the effects of false alarms by providing time to investigate the first fire signal and if found to be an unwanted activation, prevent a full evacuation of the premises and an unnecessary call to the fire brigade. -
Page 19: Response To An Alarm
When logged in, touch and hold reset. The panel will reset any latched devices on its loops. The Reset sequence takes about 20 seconds during which time the panel will not detect new fires. RDM0001/3_2 Page 19 of 70 © 2015 - 2017 Protec Fire Detection plc... -
