PREMIER SX USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 6. FAULT CONDITIONS 6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT When a Fault occurs on a critical part of the Fire Alarm System, the Panel responds by activating its Internal buzzer and illuminating the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relating to the Fault. The Panel’s Fault relay will also activate.
PREMIER SX USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 7. DISABLEMENTS 7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. Certain Fire Alarm Panels can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switch off) to suit prevailing conditions. For example, if there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, say from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards.
PREMIER SX USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 8. NOTES ON DELAYS 8.1 WHAT IS A DELAY A delay can be programmed into the fire alarm panel to postpone the activation of the Alarm Sounders for a predetermined length of time. The Delay period gives a responsible person time to investigate the cause of an Alarm, usually in areas which are prone to false alarm (such as waiting rooms filled with smoke) before the building is evacuated.

PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 1.IMPORTANT NOTES This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and technically competent person. THIS EQUIPMENT IS A PIECE OF CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED 1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL This Installation Manual explains how to install, commission and maintain the Premier SX Range of Fire Alarm Control Panels.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 2. FIRST FIX All system wiring should be installed to meet BS5839: Pt1: 1988 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations). Other National standards of installation should be used where pertinent. 2.1 CABLE TYPES AND LIMITATIONS To shield the Panel from outside interference and ensure compliance with Electro Magnetic regulations, we recommend screened cables are used throughout the installation.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. An End of Line diode (provided in the Panel) must be connected across the terminals of the last device on each circuit to allow the wiring to be monitored. It is polarity sensitive, and connected cathode (STRIPE) to +ve Detector bases with integral continuity diodes must be used to ensure Manual Call Points remain operational when a detector head is removed from its base.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. The wiring for this input should be connected to the relevant terminal block on the Main Control PCB and their screens terminated at the Panel’s base earth tag (see page 9 for more details). 2.6 AUXILIARY OUTPUT WIRING (DRY CONTACTS ONLY) Auxiliary Fire Output (AUX): Turns on during any fire.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 3.ENCLOSURE MOUNTING We recommend the lid and PCBs are now removed from site to prevent accidental damage. Storing the PCBs in a suitable cardboard box will also guard them against mechanical damage. 3.1 REMOVING THE KNOCKOUTS Decide carefully how the wiring will be brought into the Panel with reference to Figure 2 below and remove the required knockout for cable entry.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 4 CONNECTING MAINS & BATTERY POWER 4.1 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER ,1/(70$,16 6833/< The panel should be connected to 220-240V AC by a 3A rated spur to the fuse box with 0.75mm to 2.5mm 3-core cable. Nothing else should be connected to this supply The Live, Earth and Neutral connections are marked on the PCB.

PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 6.3 DELAY INDICATION AND OVERRIDE If a delay is set, the fire panel will light the General Disablement LED and Delay (DEL) LED to indicate that the sounders are delayed. If an alarm occurs, the fire LEDs will light as usual, but the sounders will not start until the delay period has expired.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 8. ZONE TEST 8.1 WHY USE ZONE TEST To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a non-latching ‘one man test’ facility is available. When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for approximately seven seconds on and seven seconds off.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 9.2 SYSTEM FAULT A system fault is an abnormal microprocessor running condition due to various unexpected phenomena This will result in the panel attempting to correct itself. Should this fault occur, the System Fault LED, General Fault LED, General Fault relay and fault internal buzzer will be constantly active until the control keyswitch is turned from off position to control enable position.
PREMIER SX INSTALLATION MANUAL. 10. STANDBY BATTERY CALCULATION GUIDE The standby time of the Fire Alarm Panel after the mains has failed depends on the quiescent loading of the Panel. The alarm load of the panel and the capacity of the batteries. To determine the capacity of batteries required for any given standby period, the following formula should be used: - Standby Time in Ahr = 1.25 x [(Ta x Ia) + (Ts x (Iqp+Iqz))]...
