2. General System Conditions
2.1 Normal Condition
In the normal condition only the POWER ON indicator should
be lit. If there are any other indications on the panel then the
actions outlined in section 2.3 should be followed. This is by
default access level 1.
2.2 Fire Alarm Condition
The fi re panel will enter the fi re alarm condition in 3 ways:
1. Fire/smoke has been detected by a fi re detection device
2. A manual call point has been activated
3. An evacuation has been instigated by the Premises
Management
When the fi re panel enters the fi re alarm condition it will
turn on the General Fire indicator and the Fire indicator of
the zone or zones that have detected fi re. The fi re alarm
devices will start sounding and the panel buzzer will sound a
continuous tone. If the FRE is fi tted then the fi re routing
equipment will be activated (i.e. auto-dialler or alarm
receiving centre (ARC)) and alerted to the fi re condition. If the
FPE is fi tted then the fi re protection equipment (i.e. sprinkler
system, door release mechanism, etc.) will be activated.
2.3 Fault Condition
The fi re panel will enter the fault condition when one or
more of the following fault conditions are detected:
1. When the fi re panel enters the fault condition it will turn
on the General Fault indicator and the appropriate fault
indicator (refer to 8 for more details). The panel buzzer
will sound a slow pulsing tone.
2. System Fault – Severe failure of the panel, the service
company must be contacted immediately.
Repeater Fault – Communication with a repeater panel
has been lost
3. Battery Fault – Battery voltage missing
Mains Fault – Mains supply missing
4. Battery Failure – Battery impedance failure
Charger Fault – Charger voltage missing
5. Sounder Fault – Any zone confi gured for BiWire mode
with a short circuit or open circuit condition present will
indicate a sounder fault and will prevent the activation of
sounders if fi tted on that zone. Any fault condition
present on the conventional sounder circuits will also
indicate a sounder fault and will prevent the conventional
sounder circuits activating.
6. FRE Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition detected
on the FRE output
7. FPE Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition detected
on the FPE output
8. Detector Removed Fault – A detector head has been
removed
Zone Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition
detected on the zone
2.4 Test Condition
The fi re panel will enter the test condition when the
individual zone test has been activated at access level 2.
While the panel is in this condition the Test indicator will be
lit along with the test LED of the zone under test condition.
WHILE THE ZONE IS IN THE TEST CONDITION IT WILL
NOT REACT TO FIRES IN THE NORMAL WAY. IT WILL
ONLY REACT AS DEFINED IN THE TEST CONDITION
(REFER TO 6.7 FOR MORE DETAILS).
ALL OTHER ZONE NOT IN THE TEST CONDITION WILL
REACT TO FIRES UNDER NORMAL FIRE CONDITIONS.
