The 3100 event log must be completed by the authorised user of the system each time a 3100 event (fire or fault) occurs. It is advisable to make copies of the blank event log to allow the log to be continued when the sheet included has been filled up.
User Responsibilities The registered owner of the fire alarm system has specific responsibilities regarding the installation, testing and maintenance of the fire alarm system. BS5839 Pt 1: 2002 states that the owner of the fire alarm system must appoint a single, named person to supervise all matters regarding the fire alarm system.
Routine Testing of the System. Recommendations for testing of the system are detailed in BS5839 Pt 1: 2002 (Section 6) The routine testing is briefly detailed below. Daily Inspection • Check that the ‘Supply Present’ indicator is illuminated. • Check for any faults on the system and report these to the site maintenance manager. Weekly Test Note: During the test you may wish to temporarily place the zone to be tested into test mode.
Annual Test • Perform the Quarterly test recommended in 3.4 and.. • Test every detector, manual call point and all auxiliary equipment for correct functionality. 5 Yearly Test • Carry out a full wiring check in accordance with the testing and inspection requirements of the relevant National wiring regulations (I.E.E regulations for the UK).
Access Level 1 (General User) Access level 1 allows the general user to view the status of the 3100 at any time. Zone fire and fault states are clearly displayed as are any current system faults and disablements.
Indications and Controls The 3100 has a comprehensive front panel display enabling the state of the 3100 to be rapidly determined by inspection of the indications. • Zone fires are displayed on row 1 of the display. • Zone faults (indicator flashing), Zonal disablements (indicator steady + ‘General Disablement’...
At access level 1 enter the 5 digit user code 1 3 4 4 2 or turn the keyswitch (depending on the model purchased). The ‘Level 2 accessed’ indicator will light. Press button ‘1’. The 3100 will light each row on the display in turn and sound the internal buzzer.
System Fault Indications When the 3100 has detected a fault in the critical operating path of the system it will display this on the front panel display. The internal buzzer will also sound intermittently (slowly). The ‘General Fault’ indicator will be illuminated and is always accompanied by other indicator(s) detailing the fault.
This can be useful to allow time for the cause of the activation to be investigated by a responsible person. If the cause of the activation is found to be legitimate the alarm outputs can be manually activated. If the cause of the activation is found to be a false alarm the 3100 can be reset.
10.0 Response To An Alarm 10.1 Automatic Detection If a smoke detector or heat detector operates on a zone of the 3100 this is known as an automatic operation. The 3100 responds by. • Illuminating the ‘General Fire’ indicator. •...
Various disablements may be programmed into the 3100 by the authorised user. In some situations it may be advantageous to ‘turn off’ certain functions to suit specific site conditions. The 3100 permits the following disablements to be made by the authorised user, at access level 2. 11.1 Zone Disablements Fires and faults from the disabled zone are inhibited.
12.1 To Disable Zones The 3100 can have one, or more, of its detector zones disabled. When a zone is disabled faults and activations from that zone are inhibited. 1. From access level 1 enter your 5 digit user code 1 3 4 4 2 or turn the key-switch (depending on the model purchased).
12.2 To Disable Alarm Outputs The 3100 can have alarm circuits 1 and 2 and/or alarm circuits 3 and 4 disabled. When an alarm circuit is disabled faults and activations on that circuit are inhibited. 1. From access level 1 enter your 5 digit user code 1 3 4 4 2 or turn the key-switch (depending on the model purchased).
12.4 To Disable the Fire Link It is possible for the authorised user (at access Level 2) to disable the Fire Link interface (if fitted). Disabling the interface inhibits Fire Link faults and activations. 1. From access level 1 enter your 5 digit user code 1 3 4 4 2 or turn the key-switch (depending on the model purchased).
To aid the required fire alarm test schedule to be performed the 3100 allows one zone at a time to be put into ‘test mode’. In this mode, upon an alarm on the test zone, the 3100 activates the alarm outputs for 4 seconds then resets. This allows a zone of detectors to be easily tested without having to reset the panel manually after each activation.
14.0 Appendix 1 3100 System Set-Up Record This sheet must be completed by the engineer in charge of commissioning the system. It is the only record of how the system has been configured and, as such, should be safely stored for future reference.
15.0 Appendix 2 3100 Event Log The person appointed in charge of the fire alarm system should complete the relevant section of this sheet whenever an event (fire or fault) occurs on the system.
