Page 4: Safety
SAFETY The fi re alarm panel is safe to operate provided it has been installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and used in accordance with this user manual. Do not operate the fi re alarm panel with its enclosure open. There is no need to open the enclosure except to carry out com- missioning, maintenance and remedial work. -
Page 5: Fire Alarm Systems - An Overview
FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS – AN OVERVIEW The primary purpose of a fi re alarm system is to provide an early warning of a fi re so that people and animals can be evacu- ated and action taken to stop the fi re as soon as possible - all according to a predetermined plan. Alarms may be raised automatically by smoke or heat detectors, or manually by a person operating a manual call point. -
Page 6: User Responsibilities
USER RESPONSIBILITIES BS5839-1 is the British Standard code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fi re detection and fi re alarm systems for buildings. Section 7 of the standard (User Responsibilities) states that a named responsible person should be appointed to supervise all matters pertaining to the fi re alarm system {clause 47.2a}. -

Page 10: Fault Conditions
FAULT CONDITIONS When a fault occurs on a critical part of the fi re alarm system, the panel responds by activating its internal sounder and il- luminating the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relating to the fault. The panel’s fault output will also activate (provided it hasn’t been disabled). -
Page 11: Disablements
DISABLEMENTS Certain fi re alarm panel functions can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off ) to suit certain conditions. For example, if there is a risk of a false alarm in a zone, e.g. from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and enable it again afterwards. - Page 12 Notes about disablements (a) The option of disabling or enabling zones 3 & 4 and zones 5, 6, 7 & 8 is only available if these zones are fi tted. If they are not fi tted, the selection process will skip to the next available option. (b) The option of disabling or enabling output delays is only available if delays have been programmed into the fi re alarm panel by the installation engineer.

Page 13: Notes On Delays
NOTES ON DELAYS What is a delay? A delay can be programmed into the fi re alarm panel to postpone the activation of the alarm sounders and other outputs for a predetermined length of time. The delay period gives a responsible person time to investigate the cause of an alarm, usually in areas which are prone to false alarm (such as vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay) before the building is evacuated. -
