    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. 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.
  • Page 21: Sounder Circuit Wiring

    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.
  • Page 22: Auxiliary Output Wiring

    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.
