OPERA TING THE P ANEL
General
The panel operates in 1 of 2 modes - Normal mode or Supervisor mode. In Normal mode the
Supervisor mode LED is extinguished. In Supervisor mode the Supervisor LED is continuously ON.
Control of the facilities at the panel is available via the keyboard. Akey press is acknowledged by a
blip of the internal panel buzzer. All keys that are active in the Normal mode have their legend actually on the key itself, whereas all those facilities that are active once in the Supervisor mode have their
legends above the corresponding key. For example, in Normal mode pressing the SILENCE BUZZER
key will silence the internal panel buzzer. However, if in the Supervisor mode pressing the same key
will perform a Lamp Test.
Normal Mode
This is the condition the panel is generally to be found in. From the Normal mode the user may:
Silence Buzzer:
The user can silence the panel buzzer by pressing the SILENCE BUZZER button on the
keyboard. The buzzer will then only sound approximately once every 10 seconds. NOTE
that this does not silence any alarms, only the buzzer within the panel.
Entering the Supervisor mode:
By entering a 4 digit access code the user may get into the Supervisor mode. The access
code for this panel is 2214. By pressing the numbered keys in the correct order, and then by
hitting the ENTER key, the user will see the Supervisor mode indicator come on. Note that
the buzzer will sound when it has recognised each key press. You are then in the Supervisor
mode and may carry out additional facilities at the panel (see below).
Supervisor Mode
When in this mode a number of extra features are available to the user.
Silence/Resound Alarms:
When in the Supervisor mode this key can be used to either turn the alarms on or to silence
them. It is a toggle action. So, for example, to initiate an evacuation of a site you could
press the Silence/resound alarm button to cause the alarms to sound. You could then silence
the alarm at a later time by pressing the same button again. Note that if the alarms are
silenced but there is still a Fire condition then the internal panel buzzer will buzz every 10
seconds. Also, if the alarms are silenced then this will not prevent subsequent new fire
conditions from automatically resounding the alarms.

Reset:
This facility allows you to reset the panel. When hit, all panel indicators will light and the
internal panel buzzer will sound. On the MF9304 the Fault relay output will also activate.
On releasing the button the lights will extinguish, the buzzer will silence and the relay output
will deactivate. For a period of approximately 25 seconds after pressing the Reset button the
Supervisor mode indicator will flash. This is indicating that the panel is 'self testing'. Once the
panel is ready the Supervisor mode indicator will extinguish and you can continue using the
panel as you like.
Disable/Enable:
The panel allows a supervisor to disable individual zones and/or the alarm lines. A zone
which has been disabled will not be monitored for faults or for fires. Similarly, if the
alarm lines are put into disablement then they will not be monitored for faults, nor
would they be activated in a fire condition on a zone. (Note alarm lines are disabled in
pairs i.e. lines 1/2 and/or lines 3/4).
To actually disable zone/alarm lines you have to be in the Supervisor mode. Once there,
press the Right Arrow key and a flashing 'cursor' will appear in the Alarm Line indicators.
By repeatedly pressing the Right Arrow key you can step this 'cursor' through the Alarm Line
indicators, onto the Zone Fault indicators. Keep pressing the same key and you will step
through the zones, one at a time, until eventually it returns to the Alarm line indicators, and so
on. When the indicator is at the zone or alarm lines that you wish to disable/re-enable then
by simply pressing the Disable/Enable button in zone/alarm lines will be toggled accordingly.
The Disablement indicator will flash, the internal buzzer will sound every 10 seconds and the
corresponding Fault indicator(s) will light continuously for any zone or alarm line that is
disabled. You may then use the Right Arrow key to move on and disable/re-enable further
zones/alarm lines as required.
Note that a disablement is not cancelled by a reset or a removal of power to the panel.
Test:
The fire panel will allow the supervisor to put any zone into a test mode. To do this go into
the Supervisor mode. Then press the Right Arrow key once and a flashing 'cursor' will
appear in the Alarm indicators. Continue pressing the Right Arrow key until the 'cursor'
reaches the zone that you want to put into test. Then press the Test button. The Test
indicator will begin to flash, the internal panel buzzer will buzz at 10 second intervals and the
Fault indicator of the zone concerned will light continuously. That particular zone is now in
the Test mode.
When in test mode a detector/manual call point can be put into fire on that particular zone.
The panel will recognise the fire condition and sound the alarms for 2 seconds. Then the
panel will automatically reset the zone, in order to try and clear the fire condition. If the zone
resets successfully then the alarms will sound again for 2 seconds. You can then go on and
test the next detector/manual call point on the zone. If the zone fails to reset successfully,
maybe due to a faulty detector or such like, then the panel will keep on trying to reset the
zone for 2 minutes. If it has still failed at the end of this period then that zone immediately
goes into fire.
Note that the alarm lines cannot be put into the test condition.
The fact that a zone is in test will not prevent the panel from recognising and acting upon
fires or faults in other zones.
To take a zone out of the test mode you must go into the Supervisor mode and then press
Reset.
Remote Signal Isolate:
To isolate the Remote Signal output press the Remote Signal Isolate button, whilst in
Supervisor mode. The Remote Signal Isolate indicator will light, the Disablement indicator
will flash and the internal panel buzzer will buzz every 10 seconds. To re-enable the Remote
signal again at a later time simply press the Remote Signal Isolate button again.
The corresponding indicators will extinguish and the panel buzzer will silence itself. Note that
the remote signal isolate facility is not cancelled by a system reset.
Lamp Test Facility:
It is possible to test the indicators and the internal panel buzzer manually. To do this from
within the Supervisor mode the Lamp Test button should be pressed. For the period that the
button is kept depressed all panel indicators should light and the internal buzzer should
sound. Once the button is released the panel will return to the condition it was in prior to the
lamp test.
Exiting from the Supervisor Mode:
This mode will automatically exit if no key press is detected for a period of greater than 15
seconds. Alternatively, if you have finished in the Supervisor mode you may simply press
ENTER. In either case the Supervisor mode indicator will extinguish and the panel will be
back in the Normal mode.

SPECIALISED OPTIONS
Certain additional features may be set up by the service provider at the commissioning stage.
They are as follow:
Non-latching Zone
This feature is available on zone 1 and is selectable at commissioning by use of a switch in the panel
(see Appendix C for selecting this feature). Note that this facility is additional to the requirements of
EN54.
When activated any fire condition on zone 1 will not be latched i.e. once the condition has cleared, by
whatever means, at the detecting device, the panel will automatically come out of the fire state for
zone 1 - no user intervention would be required at the panel.
Further details of this interface are available on request.
Coincidence Detection
This feature is available on zone 2 and is selectable at commissioning by use of a switch in the panel
(see Appendix C for selecting this feature).
On the first detector going into fire the panel indicates the event by sounding the buzzer and by having a double flash followed by a pause on the zonal fire indicator. Once the second detector goes into
fire the full fire condition is initiated by the panel.
Using coincidence detection on zone 2 does not affect the way in which fires are recognised or acted
upon from other zones in the system.
Note also that a manual call point pressed on any zone will put the panel into the fire condition
immediately, irrespective of whether coincidence detection is active.
Alarm Line Delays
Delays can be introduced between the panel recognising a detector fire signal and the alarms being
sounded. That delay is selectable at commissioning by use of switches in the panel (see Appendix
C). The length of the delay can be set anywhere between 0 minutes i.e. no delay, and 7 minutes, in 1
minute intervals.
When the panel has alarm line delays set up the ALARM LINE DELAY indicator will be permanently
ON. When a fire is detected on a zone the ALARM LINE DELAY indicator will flash, the buzzer will
sound intermittently and the appropriate zonal fire indicator will flash. After the set delay period the
panel will switch the alarms ON, unless the panel is reset.
Note that, delays do not affect fire signals from manual call points. These signals are acted upon
immediately.
NOTE: AUX contacts are also delayed when this facility is active.
