Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PANEL OPERATION
Normal Operation
With the "CONTROL" Key in the "OFF" position and under normal conditions the
system will be silent and the green "POWER LED" illuminated.
The system may either be in "Automatic" or "Manual" mode of operation. This will be
evident by the illumination of either the "Automatic" or "Manual" LED. In Manual
Mode, the bottle output will not be activated automatically. It must be started
manually by pressing a manual release call point.
Fire Alarm Condition (Peripheral Zones)
The Premier EX8 signals an alarm by the following:-
•
Turn on the General Fire LED
•
Turn on the Zonal Fire Indicator
•
Turn on internal buzzer
•
Start any sounders connected to the panel`s sounder circuits
•
Activate the fire relay
What to do in the event of a fire.
1. Follow the building evacuation procedure, and check that everyone has left
the building safely.
2. The building fire officer or suitably trained responsible person should
CAREFULLY enter the building, and locate the area of the alarm from the fire
alarm panel.
3. Investigate to determine the cause of the alarm. Look for the detector in the
zone in alarm that signalled the fire. The detector that signalled an alarm will
have its RED ALARM LED on.
4. If a small fire is found, a suitably trained person could tackle this with a
suitable fire extinguisher.
5. If a larger fire is found, leave the building immediately, and contact the fire
brigade.
6. If no fire is found, make a note of the detector that signalled fire, and look for
anything nearby that could be the cause of the activation, eg cooking, or use
of a hot air gun etc.
7. Record findings in the fire alarm log book.
Resetting from an alarm condition
After the relevant action has been taken, the Premier EX8 fire alarm panel can be reset by the
following:-
1
Press Stop/Start sounder button, This will silence the external sounders.
2
Press Silence Fault Tone button. This will silence the panel`s internal buzzer.
3
Press the Reset button. This will return the panel to it`s normal condition.
If the panel goes straight back into alarm, then the cause of the alarm has not been cleared. This
could be a detector still exposed to smoke, or a call point still in the active position. Press Buttons
1 & 2 on the panel, then investigate for a call point, or detector that still has it`s RED ALARM LED
on. Reset the call point, or clear the smoke. If the problem persists, contact an engineer.
