What to do if the Fire Alarm Panel shows an Alarm (Red LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of
paper for transferring to the log book later)
Follow the building procedures for fire alarm activation.
When the building has been evacuated, the sounders can be silenced by turning the key to the
on position and pressing the Start/Stop Sounder button, then pressing the Silence Tone
button. (Note that the sounders may take up to 8 seconds to stop)
If there is no sign of fire, investigate the area that reported the fire CAREFULLY. Check for
a detector or a call point with its RED LED lit.
If a detector caused the alarm, look for any innocent phenomena that could have activated it
(Steam, cooking food, exhaust smoke, excessive dust etc can all activate a smoke detector.).
If anything is found, try to clear the room by opening a window.
If a fire is discovered, either tackle it with fire extinguishers if suitably trained, or call the
fire brigade.
To reset the panel press the reset button.
If the panel goes back into alarm, silence the sounders and call the engineer.
What to do if the Fire Alarm Panel shows a Fault (Yellow LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of
paper for transferring to the log book later)
If the supply fault LED is lit, check if there is a power cut to the building. Check that the
mains supply to the fire alarm has not been turned off.
If the Prealarm LED is on, this could be either a detector that needs servicing, or the start of
a fire (or other phenomena that can activate the detector). Investigate the indicated location
and take appropriate action.
All other fault indications will need the service engineer’s attention. Call the engineer as
soon as possible. Note that when the alarm is in a fault condition, the majority of the system
will still function correctly. Extra vigilance should be paid in the area with the fault. The
alarm may not be operational in this area.
The panel`s internal buzzer can be silenced by turning the key to the on position and pressing
the Silence Tone button. If the fault comes and goes, the panel will buzz every time the fault
happens. If this is not acceptable you may be able to disable the zone that has the fault. (see

1. FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL SAFETY ISSUES
There is no need to open this fire alarm during normal operation. Any work carried out on this s ystem must be
performed by a competent person who is familiar with this type of system.
This equipment will operate safely provided it has been installed correctly in compliance with the Installation
Manual.
It is recommended that the system is serviced frequently. It is customary to arrange a regul ar maintenance
contract with a competent organisation. (Ask the installation company for recommendations). The system
needs a thorough maintenance check annually at the very minimum.
If any part of this Fire Alarm Control Panel becomes damaged, contact the company r esponsible for system
maintenance to arrange repair / replacement.
C E European Union Directives Conformance Statement
This product has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all
applicable EU Council Directives. The Declaration of Conformance for this
product is located at the following Address: GLT Exports Ltd, 72-78 Morfa Road,
Hafod, Swansea, SA1 2EN, United Kingdom
2. THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
A Fire Alarm System is used to provide an earl y warning of a fire, so that the property can be evacuated and
the fire extinguished if it can be safely tackled, or the local fire brigade called, according to the company
evacuation procedure.
Alarms can come from Smoke or Heat Detectors, or manually by a person operating a Manual Call Point.
Splits the building into Zones, each covering a different area of the buildin g. This will indicate which area of the
system is giving the alarm (or fault).
During an alarm, the panel will start its sounders, and indicate which zone has th e fire. It will also activate its
auxiliary relay.
Fault Monitoring
The panel checks all circuits for line integrity. If a part of the system has a problem, which may affect its
operation, a fault warning must be given by the fire alarm panel ( LED & buzzer indication). The fault relay will
also activate.
Disablements
An engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active (eg extending a
detection zone). During such circumstances, it would be advisable to disable that zone, so that it will not give
false alarms. Similarly you may wish to disable a zone that has a fault that has not been fixed, or a zone
covering an area with a temporary unusual environment, such as an area which is dusty because of
construction work etc.
Power Supply Equipment- General Description.
The NPAD FACP has an integral linear power supply capable of supplying 1.5 amps in total. It contains a current
limited output for charging sealed lead acid batteries (7 Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for main supply
failure, the battery not taking a charge and low battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below approximately
20VDC (a fault condition), the battery charging current will be turned off , thus stopping charging. This PSE is
only capable of supplying power to the CIE, and is not designed for an y other use.

3. USER RESPONSIBILITIES & MAINTAINENCE OF THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM,
INCLUDING THE FACP & ITS INTEGRAL PSE
According to the British Standard Code for Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Commercial Buildings
(BS5839: Pt 1: 2002), the owner or person having control of the premises should appoint a responsibl e person
to oversee the effective operation of the Fire Alarm System (Clause 47.1).
Below is a summary of the main functions the “Responsib le Person” is exp ected to carry out. T his summary is
not intended to replace Section seven (User responsibilities) of BS5839: Pt 1: 2002 (av ailable from BSI, or you r
local library). It is meant to give a brief outline of user responsibi lities for the safe upkeep of the Fire Alarm
System. The number in brackets shows the relevant BS5839: Pt 1: 2002 clauses.
The responsible person must:-
1. Have sufficient authority to carry out the duties associated with being the responsible person (47.2.a)
2. Check the system at least once every 24 hours to ensure there are no faults present (47.2.b)
3. Ensure there are arrangements for testing and maintaining the system (47.2.c)
4. Ensure the log book is up to date, and available for inspection (47.2.d)
5. Instruct all relevant occupants on the basic operation of the system, including start evacuation, silence
alarms, silence faults and system reset (47.2.e)
6. Take appropriate action to limit the rate of false alarms (47.2.f)
7. Ensure that all detectors and manual call points remain unobstructed at all times (47.2.g)
8. Liase with maintenance personnel to ensure that cleaning, maintenance or buildi ng work does not interfere
with the functioning and reliability of the fire alarm system (47.2.h).
9. Ensure any changes to the system are recorded with updated drawings, operating instructions etc (47.2.i)
10. Ensure that there are spare parts (especially Call point elements) held on site (47.2.j.1&2)
11. In the event of a prealarm, determine the cause & take appropriate action (predetermin ed fire routine if th e
cause is the start of a fire, arrange maintenance if the cause is a contaminated detector head) (47.3)
With the Premier AD Fire Alarm Panel, we recommend the following tests are carried out: Daily Inspection
• Check that the green Power LED is lit.
• If there are any yellow fault LEDs lit, or the green Power LED is not lit, report the fault(s) to the designated
site maintenance engineer.
Weekly Test (you may wish to temporarily disconnect the Aux relay during the following Tests)
• Set off a manual call point or sensor to test the Fire Alarm panel responds and all the sounders activate.
• Do not test the same device each week. Test a different zone each week using a different call point or
detector so that eventually, all the devices will be tested.
• Reset the System by pressing 1,2,3 (Stop sounders, Silence fault tone, Reset).
• Turn key to controls enabled. Press the LED Test button. Check that all LEDs light, and the buzzer sounds
• Check that no call points or fire detectors are obstructed in any way. (eg New furniture or decorations)
Quarterly Test (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Check that any servicing or repairs required by all previous logbook entries has been un dertaken.
• Visual inspection of the batteries and connections. Check the alarm sounders work on battery only.
• Activate a device from each zone to test the fire alarm. (As per weekly test).
Annual Test (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Check every detector, call point, sounder and all auxiliary equipment for correct operation.
• Check Transformer output Voltage (32 VAC), Charger Voltage (28.4V off load, adjusted with VR1) &
Battery Voltage (25-27V)
Every Five Years (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Carry out a complete wiring check in accordance with the testing and inspection requirements of the
relevant National wiring regulations (in the UK this is the IEE Wiring Regulations). The Batteries sho uld be
replaced because SLA batteries have a working life of 5 years.

5. THE FIRE CONDITION
5.1 HOW THE PREMIER AD INDICATES AN ALARM
When the Premier AD Fire Alarm Panel is set into alarm by a Detector or Manual Call Point located in a zone that
is not already in alarm it will: -
• Light the General Fire LED and appropriate Zone Fire LED(s) on the front of its enclosure
• Sound Internal buzzer
• Start the Alarm Sounder and Auxiliary output, (provided there is no Delay set on the sounders).
The building evacuation procedure should now be followed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a zone has been disabled, it can not be triggered into Alarm. This should be
remembered when disabling part of the system. (see Disabling zones or sounders later in this manual).
5.2 TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SOUNDERS
• The Alarm Sounders may be silenced by turning the control ke y to “Contro l Enab le” positi on a nd momen tarily
pressing the Start/Stop button.
The Alarm Sounders will cease to sound* but the light(s) for the Zone(s) in Alarm and th e red General Fire light
will stay lit. The Auxiliary Fire relay will remain active. (The Panels internal buzzer can also be silenced by
pressing the Silence int flt button (button 2)).
*Addressable loop sounders will stop within 2 seconds. S ounder bases can take up to 8 seconds to stop. If the
START/STOP button is pressed again during this time, the panel will start the sounders again.
5.3 A SECOND ALARM SIGNAL FROM A NEW DETECTION ZONE
If another detection Zone is activated after the Alarm Sounders have been silenced, the panel will: -
• Restart the sounders
• Light the Zone Fire LED(s) for any new Zone(s) in alarm
• Keep the light(s) for the previous Zone(s) in fire, and General Fire lit.
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP (I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING).
• With the control key in “Controls Enabled” position, momentarily pressing the Start/Stop will c ause the Alarm
sounders to sound.
Pressing the Start/Stop button again will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
Note: If the Alarm Sounders have been disabled, pressing the Stop/Start button will have no effect.
5.5 RESETTING THE PANEL
• Check the cause of the alarm activation. If the cause of the alarm was an activated call point, reset it (if
resettable type), or fit a new glass element (if glass type). If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation
(eg cooking smoke), the smoke will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can be reset. Reset
the panel by pressing the reset button (3) after the sounders and panel buzzer have been silenced.
• If the call point is still active, or the detector is still smoky, this will cause another alarm straight after the
panel is reset, and the alarm bells will start again.

6. THE FAULT CONDITION
6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT
The fire alarm monitors itself, and any equipment connected to it, for any faults that can occur. If a fault occurs, the Panel
responds by activating its Internal buzzer and lighting the Gener al Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relevant to th e
particular fault. The panel will also display the fault on its LCD display. The Panel’s Fault relay will also activate. Typical
faults are described below: -
Zone Fault
The relevant Zone Fault light flashes when there is a wiring problem on a Zone or detector has been re moved from
its base. It should be noted that any alarms raised on the fault zone(s) may not be recognised by the Fire Alarm Panel
until the Fault Conditions have been cleared. It can take up to10 seconds from repairing a fault for the display to clear.

Power Supply Fault
The Premier AD has 3 separate LEDs to help pinpoint the source of the problem. Battery Fault indicates that there is no
battery connected to the panel. Charger Fault indicates there is a problem with the mains supply (or one of its fuses). Low
Battery indicates that the battery voltage has dropped below 21 volts, and that these batteries are no longer working.
If the mains supply fails, the panel will only operate for the standby period dictated by the size of the batteries fitted. If
the batteries or charger fails at the same time as the Mains, the Panel will be inoperative.

Mains/Charger Fail
System Fault
The System Fault LED lights when the Panel’s micro-processor has Reset, typically after excessive electrical interference,
or if the contents of its memory have been corrupted. This fault can only be cl eared by turning the key switch from off
position to control enable position and then back to the off position a gain. If the fault re-occurs within 1 hour, this is
indicative of a corrupt memory and expert advice should be sought.
Note that leaving the memory write enable switch on also lights system fault as a warning to turn the switch off.

Sounder Fault
The Premier AD has Fault LEDs for each conventional sounder circuit & its Loop Powered sounders. The screen will
show Sounder Open if there is an open circuit fault (Check fuse & end of line). The screen will show Sounder Short if
there is a short circuit fault (Check cabling, device polarity & end of line). If there is a fault on the loop sounders, the line
sounder fault LED will light along with the zone that contains that sounder.
6.2 WHAT TO DO IF A FAULT CONDITION OCCURS
If a fault occurs, the responsible person should:
LED ON
LED OFF
• Turn keyswitch to Controls enabled and press silence flt tone button to silence the fault buzzer.
• Write down the fault (s) in the Log Book at the back of this Manual. Take appropriate action to correct the fault
(Usually by contacting the service engineer)
On the Premier AD panel, the fault indications (except system fault) are non latching. That is, when the fault has been
cleared, the fault indication will turn off. When all faults have been cleared, the panel will return to its quiescent (normal)
condition.
When a fault has been rectified the indicator light for that Fault is automatically turned off. If all Faults are cleared, the
General Fault light will go out and the Panel’s Internal Sounder will be silent (if not already muted).

7. DISABLEMENTS
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For
example, if there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for examp le, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is
possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk p eriod an d then enabl e it ag ain aft erwards. During a disablement
of a zone(s), no fire or fault signal will be processed for th at zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm state can be disabled,
that is zones already in a fire condition cannot be disabled.
External sounders can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
7.2 TO DISABLE A ZONE AND/OR EXTERNAL SOUNDERS.
1. Insert and turn control key to enabled position;
2. Press DISABLE button and the screen will show:
ZONE DISABLEMENT ZONE 1. The panel is now in
SELECT DISABLEMENT MODE.
3. Press DISABLEMENT SELECT until the required zone or
sounder circuit is DISPLAYED. Press DISABLEMENT
CONFIRM button. The screen will now show that the zone is
disabled, and the Zone or Sounder LED will
come on steady, along with the GENERAL DISABLEMENT LED.
This section is now disabled. (NOTE: Call points in this zone
will still be active. Contact the engineer if call points need to be disabled)
4. If more than one zone (or sounder) needs to be disabled, then press DISABLEMENT SELECT again
until the required zone (or sounder) is selected.
5. If the panel needs to be taken out of SELECT DISABLEMENT MODE (eg to silence a fault on another
part of the system), Either press DISABLEMENT button, or turn the keyswitch off, then back on again.
6. Once all the maintenance work has been done the zones need to be enabled again. If the panel is still
in SELECT DISABLEMENT MODE, jump to paragraph 7, otherwise, turn the keyswitch to controls
enabled, press DISABLE button. The panel is now in SELECT DISABLEMENT MODE
7. Press the DISABLEMENT SELECT button until the disabled zone is displayed on the screen. Press
DISABLEMENT CONFIRM button to de-select disablement. Scroll to any other disabled zone and
enable in the same way. When all zones are enabled again, the GENERAL DISABLEMENT LED will
turn off. Turn the keyswitch to off position to return the system to normal.
7.3 TO ENABLE A ZONE AND/OR EXTERNAL SOUNDERS.
1. Turn key to “Controls enable” position (since a zone is already disabled at this time, the General Disablement LED
with stay lit (steady);
2. Press DISABLE button and the screen will show: ZONE DISABLEMENT ZONE 1. The panel is now in
