  • Page 39: Agent Release Operation

    MAN1544-5 6.4 Agent Release Operation The agent release can release the agent via automatic or manual activation. By default the agent release add-on is in a mode where a release occurs automatically or manually (automatic mode). When the agent inhibit switch is operated at any LCS or the FACP then the agent inhibit indicator shall be illuminated at all LCSs and the ARC, the buzzer sounds at all LCSs and the agent can only be released by a manual activation.
  • Page 40: Auto Mode

  • Page 41: Dual Zone Activation

    MAN1544-5 ➢ If the agent add-on has been assigned a zone number, then the brigade and supervisory outputs associated with that zone shall be activated (external alarm (bell), warning system, plant (ACF), ASE, Alarm 1 and Alarm 2). ➢ When the FACP reset control is activated – the automatic activation indicator, agent discharge indicator, stage 2 timer running are extinguished, and the stage 1, stage 2, selected activation circuit and gas fired output are switched off (to 0VDC).
  • Page 42 MAN1544-5 ➢ If the agent add-on has been assigned a zone number, then the brigade and supervisory outputs associated with that zone shall be activated (external alarm (bell), warning system, plant (ACF), ASE, Alarm 1 and Alarm 2). If the agent select button is operated at the ARC once the agent has been released, then the newly selected activation circuit is operated immediately.
  • Page 43: Manual Activation

    MAN1544-5 6.6.3 Manual Activation It shall be possible to instigate a manual release whilst the module is in the auto mode. A manual release is initiated by operating the manual release control at the ARC or the LCS. If an automatic release sequence has not started, then the manual release sequence proceeds as detailed in previously.

  • Page 46: Warning Device

    MAN1544-5 7 Warning Device Description The warning signs are driven by a 2 wire system and may be configured for single or dual stage operation. An on-board buzzer provides an audible warning which may be disabled by removing JP4. External evacuation devices, e.g. sounders may be connected to TB4 of the input termination board. An external mute push-button (N/O contacts) may also be connected to Term 6 on the warning sign PCB to enable the user to silence the internal buzzer and evacuation device.

    MAN1544-5 12 Definitions Addressable system - a fire alarm and detection system that contains addressable alarm zone facilities or addressable control devices. Alarm Verification Facility (AVF) - that part of the FACP, which provides an automatic resetting function for spurious alarm signals so that they will not inadvertently initiate Master Alarm Facility (MAF), or ACF functions.
  • Page 58 MAN1544-5 Master Alarm Facility (MAF) - that part of the equipment which receives alarm and fault signals from any alarm zone facility and initiates the common signal (alarm and/or fault) for transmission to the fire control station. Bells and other ancillary functions may be initiated from this facility. Power Supply - that portion of the FACP which supplies all voltages necessary for its operation.
