5.4 Set System Time
This menu option is used to set the panel date and time. This is necessary so that any events are
accurately logged in the event log and on the panel printer (if fitted). The panel does not automatically
compensate for daylight saving time.
5.5 Contamination Status
Any detection devices that exceed 85% of the limit for the manufacturers working range during the daily
calibration sequence are added to a contaminated device menu. At this stage, the panel will not notify the
user of a fault for the contaminated devices.
This menu option allows the user to see any devices approaching their maintenance fault limits and to
prevent unnecessary faults being reported from dirty detection devices.
This menu is typically used as a preventative maintenance feature.
5.6 Access Level 3
This menu option is used to enter the access 3 password for the engineering function menu.
Details of the options available at Access level 3 can be found in the Syncro Product manual.
6. Panel printer – replacing printer paper
The Syncro panel is available with or without an internal printer.
The printer is of the thermal type and requires heat sensitive paper rolls. When the paper rolls are nearly
finished, a red line will be seen on one (or both) sides of the printer paper. As soon as this red line is
visible, the fire system service company should be informed and a trained service engineer should replace
the printer paper.
To gain access to the panel printer, it is necessary to open the Syncro door and expose the internal
components of the control panel, including the mains supply terminations. This makes it unsuitable for the
end user to change the printer paper on this product.
7. Routine Maintenance
Syncro control panels do not require any specific maintenance but should the control panel become dirty it
can be wiped over with a barely damp cloth. Detergents or solvents should not be used to clean the panel
and care must be taken that water does not enter the enclosure.
The control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of mains
failure.
These batteries have a life expectancy of around 4 years. It is recommended that these batteries be
annually tested in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations to determine their
suitability for continued standby applications.
Routine testing of the fire alarm system in accordance with BS5839: Part 1: 2002 will identify any
malfunction of the control panel and any malfunction should be reported to the fire alarm maintenance
company immediately.
Detection devices are automatically calibrated on a daily basis and any devices that fail the detector
manufacturer requirements will be notified as a maintenance fault. The contamination status menu is also
useful in determining detection devices that are approaching their working range limits (see 5.5 above).
