IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
The panel is safe to operate provided it has been installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and used in accordance with this manual.
Hazardous voltages are present inside the panel - DO NOT open it unless you are qualified and
authorised to do so. There is no need to open the panel’s enclosure except to carry out commissioning,
maintenance and remedial work. This work must only be carried out by competent service personnel
who are fully conversant with the contents of the panel’s separate engineering manual and have the
necessary skills for maintaining this equipment.
I
f the enclosure is damaged in any way, expert advice should be sought regarding its repair.
Regular servicing of the fire alarm system is highly recommended, preferably on a continuous maintenance contract and by a competent organisation. A fully-itemised report of the installation should be
obtained at least annually.
Disclaimer
No responsibility can be accepted by the manufacturer or distributors of this fire alarm panel for any

INTRODUCTION
Fire alarm systems - an overview
The primary purpose of a fire alarm system is to provide an early warning of a fire so that people
and animals can be evacuated and action taken to stop the fire as soon as possible - all according to
a predetermined plan.
Alarms may be raised automatically, by smoke or heat detectors, or manually by a person operating
a manual call point.
To ensure an alarm is dealt with in an orderly manner, it is important to know where the alarm is
coming from. To aid this function, fire alarm systems are usually split into zones, each covering a
different area of a building.
When an alarm has been raised, the panel responds by indicating the zone(s) in which the alarm has
occurred and activating all relevant outputs (sounders, bells, strobes, beacons, relays, etc) to provide
a warning of the fire.
The fire alarm control panel
The panel is an intelligent ‘addr
intelligent fire detection devices. As such, it is able to provide much more detailed information
about a fire condition than just the number of the activated zone.
As well as giving prioritised feedback on the status of the system, its easy-to-read 80-character display will indicate the name and location of every detector that has responded to a fire and also
show the order in which they went into alarm.
It will also display detailed information on any pre-alarm and/or fault conditions that arise and can
be programmed to operate in a number of different ways to help reduce the incidence of false
alarms and to encourage the orderly evacuation of a building in a true fire condition.
Controls are available that will allow authorised users to silence or reset a fire condition, to disable
or enable parts of the system to suit prevailing conditions, to change the time the system enters day
(building occupied) and night (building unoccupied) mode and to test the panel’s indicators and
liquid crystal display to ensure they are working correctly.
All of these functions - and more - are explained in detail in this user manual.

USER RESPONSIBILITIES
BS5839-1: 2002 is the British Standard code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning
and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings. Section 7 of the standard
(User Responsibilities) states that a named responsible person should be appointed to supervise all
matters pertaining to the fire alarm system {clause 47.2a}.
Highlighted below is a summary of the main functions the responsible person is expected to carry
out with regard to BS5839-1: 2002 only. It does not highlight any other responsibilities that may be
required of the user or responsible person that are listed in documentation such as the Employers
Guide to Fire Safety, the Fire Precautions (Workplace) regulations and/or any other legislation relevant to the premises. If in doubt, the fire authority can advise on the fire legislation that applies to
any given building. For countries outside the UK, different user responsibilities may apply.
BS5839-1: 2002 states the responsible person should:
(The bracketed numbers {xx} identify the BS5839-1: 2002 clauses to which the summary refers).
1 Ensure the fire alarm panel is checked daily to confirm there are no faults on the system {47.2b}
2 Ensure arrangements are in place for the test, maintenance and regular servicing of the system with
regard to Section 6 of the standard {47.2c}. Important: Clause 44 of BS5839-1: 2002 recommends weekly
and monthly tests that should be car

4 Ensure all relevant occupants of the premises are instructed in the proper use of the system {47.2e}
5 Take steps to limit the number of false alarms on the system {47f}
6 Ensure the effectiveness of the system is not impaired by ensuring there is a space of at least 500mm in
all directions around and below every fire detector and that all manual call points are unobstructed and
easy to see {47g}
7 Liaise with all relevant building engineers, decorators, etc., to ensure any changes to (or maintenance of),
the building’s fabric does not compromise the protection given by the fire alarm system, create faults or
false alarms {47h}
8 Ensure that any structural or occupancy changes planned for the building are done so with due and early
consideration given to any changes that may be required to the fire system {47h}
9 Ensure that a selection of spare parts are held as appr
ried out by the responsible person. See below for details.
opriate within the premises {47j}
Routine weekly and monthly testing to be undertaken by the user/responsible person
To meet the requirements of Clause 44 of BS5839-1:2002 we recommend the following tests are carried
out at approximately the same time each week, during normal working hours:-
Note: It is essential any alarm receiving centre is contacted before and after these tests to avoid unwanted
alarms and to confirm the fire signal is correctly received.
• Carry out an Indicator lamp test to check all zone lights show and the beeper sounds.
m.
• Operate a manual call point or smoke/heat detector to test the fir
e alar
• Check that the alarm sounders operate.
• Reset the system by pr
essing the Silence/Activate Sounders button and Contr
ol Panel Reset button.
• Verify that no manual call points or smoke/heat detectors are obstructed in any way.
• Test a different zone each week using a different call point or detector so all are tested in rotation.
Monthly attention: Ensure authorised service personnel verify the system’s standby power supply (or supplies) are in good working order.

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
iven to the most important current event, i.e. fire conditions will override pre-alarms and/or fault
g
conditions. This section (pages 8-11) outlines the various messages that may be displayed, what they
ean and what action is required.
m
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:-
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, authorised 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 cer

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
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.
