Brooks firetracker FT1020G3 FDCIE - 17 Fault

17 Fault
All faults are delayed in order to avoid generating unnecessarily faults e.g. the delay time
for COM loop and zone line input faults is approx. 45 seconds. Some units may also have
an internal delay time, which makes the delay time even longer, for example. the
Multipurpose I/O unit 3361/4461 has an internal delay time of 30 seconds, which results in
45+30=75 seconds delay time in total.
In case of a fault condition, the following will occur in the FDCIE:
• The buzzer in FT1020G3 sounds continuously (steady)
50
.
• The fault relay output for routing equipment (Fault TX) is de-activated (fault relay
is normally energised).
• Programmable output(s) for general fault is activated and output(s) for general
charger fault might be activated.
• LED Routing equipment "Fault TX activated" (L13) is illuminating.
• LED Fault / Disablements "General fault" (L9) is illuminating.
• LEDs Fault / Disablements "Alarm devices" (L11), "System fault" (L7) and/or Fault
/ Disablements "Fire brigade TX" (L12) may also illuminate.
• A fault message including date, time and status is shown in the FDCIE display. If
the fault is generated by an alarm point or zone, the user definable alarm text will
be shown.
Example; fault message:
FAULT: No reply zone: xxx address: xx
technical number xxxxxx
User definable alarm text
dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm /Serviced
Number of faults in system: 1
.Menu
• In the FDCIE display up to three fault messages can be shown simultaneously. In
the display, down to the left, the number of faults is displayed.
• If a fault has been corrected (Serviced) before it has been acknowledged, the
status information is "Serviced", see above.
• Fire alarm presentation has higher priority than the fault messages. However,
during fire alarm presentation the faults can be shown via the menu system, see
“Enter the menu during fire alarm” page 51.
Faults have to be acknowledged, this is done via menu H6 (see page 51). This menu is a
list of all faults in the system:
• Not corrected / serviced and not acknowledged fault
• Not corrected / serviced but acknowledged fault (acknowledged)
• Corrected / serviced but not acknowledged fault (serviced)
If a fault cannot be corrected, contact service personnel / engineer immediately.
The faults are normally latched, but can via EBLWin be set to be "not latched". This will
make the fault disappear from the list when serviced but not acknowledged.

The buzzer in the Control Unit can be suppressed for faults generated in other Control Units if "Suppressed buzzer during fault"
is set via EBLWin.
