INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 25-16732-A November 2019 www.eaton.com
3.6 Detector Fitting
All detector heads should now be fitted to the bases (following
the device installation guide), prior to the installation
being tested.
The BiWire detectors can be configured for either latched or
non-latching fire condition.
When the detectors are configured for latched mode then care
must be taken that before any zone is re-enabled that a walk
round of the zone is carried out to check that all detectors and
manual call points are not latched in the fire condition.
If there are no detectors or manual call points showing the fire
condition then the zone can be re-enabled at the panel.
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE
WILL RESULT IN THE PANEL ENTERING A FULL ALARM
CONDITION WHICH WILL EVACUATE THE SITE AND
ACTIVATE ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT ATTACHED TO THE
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
3.7 Installation Testing
Initial Power-up Check
Power up the panel by engaging the fuse spur to supply
mains, then connect the white socket of the battery cable to
the power supply (see Figure 24 on page 16).
Check that all indicators turn on in turn momentarily and turn
off again.
Only the power on indicator should be lit afterwards.
Any fault indications should be investigated and corrective
actions taken before continuing with the installation
tests. “Status Indications” on page 8 provides a
comprehensive guide to the fault indications.
Power off the panel before commencing any corrective action
on the panel.
If there are detectors or manual call points showing the fire
condition reset the panel to clear the fire condition before you
re-enable the zone. Check that the following outputs are in the
correct state:
Auxillary Output (30V)
Fire Relay (C/NC)
Fault Relay (C/NO)
Interlink Relay (C/NC)
FRE (0V, if fitted)
FPE (0V, if fitted)
WARNING
DO NOT FIX ANY FAULT CONDITIONS WITH THE SYSTEM
STILL POWERED UP. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
WITH SHORT CIRCUIT FAULTS ON ZONES AS THE PTC
FUSE NEEDS TIME TO RECOVER IF IT HAS TRIPPED.
Zone Fire Detection Check
Repeat the following per zone:
Place the individual zone into Zone Test mode (see
“Individual Zone Test” on page 25).
Activate a manual call point (or a detector if there is no call
point on the zone) in that zone and then check the following:
General fire indicator (red) is on.
Correct zone fire indicator (red) is on.
All fire alarm devices are sounding.
After approximately 3 seconds the system will automatically
silence and the fire indication will clear.
Take the zone out of Zone Test mode (see “Individual Zone
Test” on page 25).
Reset the system to clear all fire indications.
Zone Fault Detection Check
Repeat the following per zone:
Disconnect the last detector head on the zone then check
the following
General fault indicator (amber) is on.
Correct zone fault/disable indicator (amber) is fast flashing
for detector removed fault.
Fault relay has switched over to C/NC.
Connect the detector back on its base then check
the following.
General fault indicator (amber) is off.
Zone fault/disable indicator (amber) is off.
Fault relay has switched back to C/NO.
Press button 5 Mute Buzzer to silence the panel buzzer.

After about 20 seconds check the following:
General fault indicator (amber) is on.
Battery/Mains fault indicator (amber) is flashing for
battery fault.
Battery/Charger fault indicator (amber) is on for charger fault.
Connect the battery.
