Fire routing and extended fire routing delays elapse concurrently when a fire alarm
event is reported.

In NEN 2535 operating mode, the extended fire routing delay becomes the active
delay when sounders are stopped (by pressing the Sounder Start/Stop button) and
remain stopped when the standard fire routing delay time has elapsed.

In EN 54-2 Scandinavia operating mode, the extended fire routing delay becomes the
active delay when an extended fire routing delay switch (connected to INPUT1) is
activated while the standard fire routing delay elapses.

Extended delay application logic

Depending on your fire alarm system configuration and the alarm activation device, a
configured delay may be overridden.

Extended fire routing delays will only be applied when:

• Both fire routing and extended fire routing delays are configured and enabled.

Functional tests

Create a short and open circuit in the zone to test fault reporting for each.

Activate a manual call point to test manual alarm reporting. The control panel should
override any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and fire
routing (where applicable) immediately.

Activate a detector to test automatic alarm reporting. The control panel should
initiate any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and fire routing
(where applicable) once the delay time has elapsed.

Using a multimeter, verify that the fault relay is activated when a fault is reported and
that the alarm relay is activated when an alarm is reported.

Fire alarm system maintenance

Perform the following maintenance tasks to ensure that the fire alarm system works
correctly and complies with all required European regulations.

Caution: Before performing any tests, ensure that fire routing (if configured) is

disabled or that the fire brigade has been notified.

Daily maintenance

Check that the control panel is in standby. If it is not, investigate all system events
and/or fix any reported faults.

Weekly maintenance

Activate an alarm from at least one detector or manual call point in your fire alarm
system and verify that the control panel responds correctly to the alarm. If it does
not, investigate all system events and/or fix any reported faults.

Caution: Perform this test from a different detector or manual call point each time.

Quarterly maintenance

Test at least one device per zone and verify that the control panel responds to all
fault and alarm events. The control panel power supply and battery voltage should be
checked. Batteries with low voltage must be replaced (for more information see
“Battery maintenance” on page 47).

Annual maintenance

Test all system devices and verify that the control panel responds to all fault and
alarm events. All electrical connections must be visually inspected to make sure that
they are securely fastened, that they have not been damaged, and that they are
appropriately protected.

Cleaning the control panel

Keep the outside and inside of the control panel clean. Carry out periodic cleaning
using a damp cloth for the outside. Do not use products containing solvents to clean
the control panel. Do not clean the inside of the cabinet with liquid products.

this LED is flashing, check the following:

• That the battery cables are in good condition

• That the battery cables are connected securely and correctly at the battery and
at the control panel PCB

• That the battery voltage is greater than 19.6 V

If the cables are in good condition and all connections are correct, then the batteries
should be replaced immediately.

Replacing batteries

Batteries must be replaced periodically as recommended by the battery
manufacturer. The useful life of the battery is approximately four years. Avoid the
total discharge of the batteries. Always use the recommended replacement batteries.

To replace the batteries:

1. Disconnect and remove the existing batteries from the cabinet.

2. Install and connect the replacement batteries using the bridge provided. Observe
correct polarity.
