USER MANUAL, ISSUE 2.4 – 19/11/09

1 Introduction: -

This manual contains all of the information required for the use and operation of the EMS
System 5000. This manual is also written in a format that presumes that the system has
been correctly installed and commissioned. When using the system it is important to
follow this user manual at all times. Any questions on the system should be put to the
Installer/Maintainer.

1.1 Procedure:

In accordance with BS5839 Part 1:2002, written procedures must be established in
dealing with alarms for: -

Fire, Fault Warnings and the Disablement of any part of the System.

A responsible person should be appointed who ensures that all users are instructed in
the proper use of the system and are familiar with all associated procedures. The
nominated person shall also be responsible for liaising with the maintenance company,
on all matters relating to the maintenance of the system. One of the associated
procedures is to maintain an up to date logbook.

The logbook should include properly recorded events including all real and false alarms.
Also any testing or even temporary disablements should be noted. Infact, any events
affecting the system should be recorded. It should always be kept in a safe place near
the system, only with access by authorised personnel. A sample logbook sheet is
displayed in Section 11.

1.2 Warnings and Cautions:

These instructions contain the procedures to follow in order to operate the System 5000
control panel correctly. It is assumed that the user has been suitably trained and is
familiar with the relevant regulations.

All equipment is to be operated in accordance with the appropriate standards applicable.

The material and instructions covered in this manual have been carefully checked for
accuracy and are presumed to be correct. However the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for inaccuracies and reserves the right to modify and revise this document
without notice.

2 User Control Levels:

System 5000 has three different access levels. They are Levels 1, 2 & 3.

At User Level 1, all of the displays are completely functional, however the panel’s control
buttons and menu access features are inhibited.

At User Level 2, (Standard user access level via control keyswitch); all panel controls are
functional and the control panel’s menu is accessible. The requirement of the Engineers
PIN at the Engineers Config Menu, allows access to Level 3.

At User Level 3, all the panel’s controls are functional and the control panel’s menu is
fully accessible making full system configuration possible. User Level 3 is reached by
entering the Engineers PIN from Level 2. (Engineers Config Menu). User Level 3 is
intended for use by the System Installer/Maintenance Contractor.

3 User Passwords:

It is possible for the system to be programmed to allow a PIN number rather than the
control keyswitch to change from Access Level 1 to Level 2.

The system is not programmed, as standard with this feature as the control keyswitch is
normally used, however up to 99 User PINS can be assigned/changed at User Level 3 by
the Installer/Maintenance Contractor if required.

4 Controls and Displays: -

4.1 Controls Layout:

The System 5000 control panel provides status information via the Display, Zone Lamps
and Status Lamps. The display and control of the panel’s functions is achieved through
two control panel sections. Figure 1, shows the display area which includes Fire Zone

Lamps, the Display itself and the “∆” and “∇” Scroll Buttons.

Figure 1 - Zone Lamps and Display (model shown 5096)

The System 5000 Panel is controlled by the use of the Control Keyswitch, a Numeric
Keypad and 3 Control Buttons. Fig 2 shows the Panel Controls and Indicator Lamps.

NOTE: The Status Lamps/Buttons & Control Keyswitch/Buttons operation is identical, for
