FW1001 NETWORKABLE ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL
GENERAL USER OPERATION
(MESSAGES THAT MAY APPEAR ON THE PANEL'S DISPLAY AND WHAT THEY MEAN)
At access level 1, the panel's display provides feedback on the system's current status. Priority is always
given to the most important current event, i.e. fire conditions will override pre-alarms and/or fault
conditions. This section (pages 8-11) outlines the various messages that may be displayed, what they
mean and what action is required.
NORMAL CONDITIONS
In normal mode (when no fires, faults or pre-alarms are occurring), one of the following messages
will be displayed at the panel:-
Time
12:10:34

Site specific text
Normal is displayed when there are no fires, faults or pre-alarms on the system and the panel's
day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) facility HAS NOT been set up by the system engineer.
Normal: occupied is displayed when there are no fires, faults or pre-alarms on the system and the
panel is in day (building occupied) mode.
Normal: unoccupied is displayed when there are no fires, faults or pre-alarms on the system and the
panel is in night (building unoccupied) mode.
Day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) settings are normally programmed into the panel by a
system engineer. They allow the system to operate differently dependent on the time of day with,
for example, different detector sensitivity settings and lower sounder volumes. If required, autho-
rised users can manually alter the time the panel enters day and night mode using the access level 2
menu options - see pages 14-19.
Outputs delayed is displayed if one or more delays to outputs have been programmed into the
panel. It indicates that certain outputs (which may include sounders, relays and/or output units) will
not trigger in the event of a fire alarm condition for a set period of time, as programmmed by the
system engineer. Pressing the more information button in a fire alarm condition will give more infor-
mation about delays.
Disablements active is displayed if one or more disablements have been programmed into the panel
by an authorised user or engineer. If required, you can view these disablements at access level 1 (or,
if you are an authorised user, you can cancel them (or set additional disablements) at access level 2.
Zone tests active is displayed if one or more of the fire alarm system's zones have been programmed
into test mode by an authorised engineer. When a zone is in test mode, any fire alarm conditions
raised on it WILL NOT be reported to the panel in the normal way. As such, this message should only
appear when an engineer is working on the system. If required, you can view which zones are in test
mode at access levels 1 or 2. Zones can only be taken out of test mode by an authorised engineer.
Calibrating... is displayed if automatic adjustments are taking place to allow the system's smoke and
heat detectors to perform at their optimum level. Normally, this message only appears at 04:00
hours although it is possible that an engineer may have programmed this to happen at an alterna-
tive time. Whilst calibrating, the display will list the ID code of the device being calibrated, i.e. "L:1
D:154" and the system will not return to normal until the process is complete.
