3.2 Pre-alarm
This is the condition when one or more input devices
has signalled a PRE-ALARM to the panel - i.e. a reading
which is higher than normal but not yet at the FIRE level.
Automatic panel actions:
a. Steady operation of the internal (high-pitched) buzzer.
b. Flashing of amber PRE-ALARM lamp.
c. Operation of those programmed control outputs which
are associated with pre-alarm events (if there are any
specified in the Control Matrix configuration).
d. Display and printing (if printer is installed and enabled)
of the event.
Recommended operator actions:
1 Press the ACCEPT pushbutton. The internal buzzer
changes to intermittent operation (once every
2 minutes). More information about the pre-alarm
appears on the display. Flashing PRE-ALARM lamp
changes to steady operation.
2 Check condition of detector indicated and check area
for possible fire. If the cause cannot be determined
notify authorised Servicing company.
3 When cause of pre-alarm has been cleared, press
RESET pushbutton.
