7. Commissioning the Panel
After completion of the pre-commissioning wiring
check, power-up and configuration steps,
commission the circuits in line with the following
guide.
NOTE:
Operation of the panel buttons requires the
Access key to be inserted and rotated to the
vertical position.
7.1 General Alarm Circuits
1. Remove the resistor from the first alarm circuit
terminal and connect the first alarm circuit wiring
to the terminals, observing correct polarity. The
panel will indicate SOUNDER FAULT.
2. Place the EOL resistor across the terminals of
the last sounder on the circuit. Check that the
sounder fault indication clears.
3. Use the Alarm Test facility [see DUO-CEL User
Manual] or press the Evacuate button to operate
the sounders. Check that all sounders
connected to the alarm circuit operate.
4. Clear the Alarms Test condition or press
SILENCE/RESOUND ALARMS as required. All
sounders should be silent.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for any remaining alarm
circuits.
7.2 Detection zones
Work logically and systematically through each
zone. All devices on each zone must be tested and
verified to be working correctly.
7.2.1 Zone Fault Indications
1. Remove the EOL from the zone 1 terminals and
connect the cables of the zone 1 circuit to the
panel terminals, observing the correct polarity.
The panel will indicate a zone fault for zone 1.
The panel will also indicate a sounder fault if set
to twin-wire mode.
2. Place the EOL across the last device on zone 1,
observing correct polarity. Check that any zone
1 fault (and sounder fault if twin-wire) indications
clear after a few seconds. For twin-wire panels,
the panel should be powered down and then
powered up again to set the correct quiescent
threshold.
3. Check the fault monitoring of the cable is correct
by applying an open circuit then a short circuit at
the EOL device. Check that the fault condition is
indicated on the correct zone at the fire panel.
4. Restore the zone circuit to the healthy condition
and confirm that the fault indication clears.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for all additional zones.
7.2.2 Zone Fire Indications
1. On each zone in turn, start with the device
nearest the panel and operate each manual call
point and detection device on the zone.
2. After operation of each device confirm:
a. The fire indication is provided on the panel on
the correct zone.
b. The fire alarm devices operate correctly in line
with the panel configuration.
c. The Fire Signal output and Fire Relay operate.
3. Press the Silence Alarms and the Reset buttons
after each device test and check the alarm
clears (Manual Call Points must be manually
reset before resetting the panel).
Detector removal operation:
1. Starting at the panel, remove the 1st detector
along the zone cable on zone 1 and check that:
The yellow zone fault LED illuminates.
The Sounder Fault LED and General Fault
LED operate
The internal buzzer sounds.
The fault relay operates.
2. If the zone has diodes fitted to detector bases,
operate a manual call point further along the
cable and check that the panel registers an
alarm condition. Reset the MCP and then the
panel.
3. Refit the detector and check that the control
panel returns to the normal state.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each detector on the
zone.
5. If the panel is a twin-wire panel then press the
EVACUATE button and check that all sounders
on the zone operate. Press the SILENCE
ALARMS button to stop the sounders.
Any faults that are found must be traced and
rectified before proceeding.
Repeat steps 1 to 5, one zone at a time, until all
the zones are commissioned.
7.3 Remote Control Input
1. Remove the 10k resistor from the Remote
Control Input circuit terminals and connect the
field wiring to the terminals. The panel will
indicate a Remote Control Fault.
2. Place the 10k resistor across the ends of the
field wiring. Check that the fault indication
clears.
3. Place a short circuit across the 10k EOL resistor
and check that the panel indicates a Remote
Control Fault. Remove the S/C from the EOL
and check that the fault indication clears.
4. Activate the Class Change switch or timer and
check that all sounders operate for 5 seconds
