Disabled status
The fire panel allows the enable and disablement of each zone independently by pressing
the corresponding zone disable button. When a zone is disabled, none of the indications
or events that may occur within the zone will be reported to the fire panel. It is therefore
important to limit the usage of this feature.
This is reported in the following way:
Fire panel operation during disable status
Zone test status
The fire panel allows performing of tests on every zone independently. This mode is
achieved by keeping the Test button pressed while pressing the requited Zone button.
Once the zone is in test mode, the fire panel will activate the corresponding outputs for 3
seconds and will then automatically reset the system to check the detector (or zone)
again without having to walk to the fire panel.
This is reported in the following way:
Out of order
The fire panel enters into an out-of-service mode only when the mains power is out and
the batteries voltage is below 22 V. In this mode there is no alarm or fault warning.
Fire panel operation in/out-of-service

LED indicators for general Disable (intermittent) and/or zone Disable (continuous).
Acoustic indicator by means of the internal buzzer with an intermittent sound.
Silence internal buzzer with Silence Buzzer button.
Restart the system with the Reset button.
LED indicators - the general Test LED is steady ON, as well as the Fault LED of the
zone in test.
There is no acoustic signal.
If someone wishes to activate the sounders during the test mode, it will not
have any programmed delay.
Light indicators: general fault (flashing) and out of service (steady).
Acoustic indicator with intermittent sound
Activation of outputs: activation of fault relay (potential free)
When main power is re-established, the fire panel returns to its former status.
If the mains failure lasts for an extended time, the panel will enter into system
fault when the battery voltage reaches 19 V. All operations will then stop.
Silence the internal buzzer with the Silence Buzzer button.
If the fire panels enter into this mode, it is recommended to disconnect the
system until mains power is restored. This prevents possible damage to the
batteries.
