EN54 Compliance Statement

THIS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT IS FOR AUTHORISED SYSTEM ENGINEERS FAMILIAR WITH ANALOGUE FIRE ALARM
SYSTEMS AND FIRE ALARM STANDARDS
BEFORE USING THE PANEL
The 'out-of-the-box' fire alarm panel is fully compliant with the requirements of EN54-2 (Fire detection and fire
alarm systems, control and indicating equipment) and EN54-4 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems, power supply
equipment) and is 3rd party certified as meeting these standards.
Please note, the Engineering Functions listed below, go beyond the scope of EN54-2. DO NOT affix
the EN54 approval label (supplied) to the front of the panel if it has been configured to operate in a
way that would make it non-compliant with the requirements of EN54-2.

A single delay time shall not exceed 10 minutes. However, it is possible to build delays upon delays that can
exceed 10 minutes in total. This is non-compliant with EN54-2 Clause 7.11.1 c).

It is recommended that any Input Group configured to apply delays to outputs (as defined in EN54-2 Clause
7.11), shall contain at least one MCP for the purposes of overriding any delay in order to comply with EN54-2
Clause 7.11.1 d).

A panel can be configured to automatically silence and reset from the alarm condition. This is non-compliant
with EN54-2 Clause 7.8 c).

The time it takes to automatically reset from the alarm condition can be configured to be less than 5 minutes.
This is non-compliant with EN54-2 Clause 7.12.2 d).

It is possible for MCPs to be included in Dependencies A & B. This is non-compliant with EN54-2 Clauses
7.12.1 & 7.12.2.

Setting the operation mode of an Input Group to '2 Devices' creates a double-knock scenario that could
potentially make the panel non-compliant with EN54-2.

Caution should be taken when programming any Action Sequence other than the 10 defaults provided, as it is
possible to program an action that is non-compliant with EN54-2.

When utilising Function Switches it is important to note that the CIE is driven by the event as opposed to the
state. As a result, the use of multiple Function Switches to change the panel's mode of operation may result
in some confusion if care is not taken to reset the state of the Function Switch(es).
