OPERATION

4.1 SPARK DETECTION SCENARIO
• Detector senses a spark, which could initiate a fire.
• Detector latches itself into alarm mode.
• The red LED indicator on the detector illuminates.
• The detector signals the associated Zone of the control panel.
• Upon receiving the signal, the zone will latch itself into alarm mode.
• This causes the red Alarm indicator to illuminate.
• A signal is sent to the Alarm Monitor Card to operate the horn/strobe.
What to do when the alarm sounds:
• Look at the control panel to find out which Zone Card's red Alarm LED
is illuminated.
• Locate the spark or fire in the indicated zone. Looking at the detector
LED could help determine the location of the spark.
• Extinguish the spark or fire.
• Turn off the horn/strobe by resetting the alarming Zone Card with the
top switch.
NOTE: As long as no other spark is present, the Zone Card will reset. If
there is still a spark or flame being detected, the alarm will keep sounding.
