IFS-2600 Fire Indicator Panel Section 3 Operation
DOC-01-009 7
Section 3 - Operation
3.1. Suggested Alarm Procedure
The following is a suggested alarm procedure for use by building fire officers or duty wardens. The fire
indicator panel is designed for use by qualified fire fighters and it is strongly recommended that the fire
panel not be operated in an emergency situation by anyone other than suitably qualified fire fighters.
Do not open fire indicator panel door or press any buttons until fire officers arrive
Determine location of the fire by inspecting the label beside any lit red zone alarm LEDs on the
Panel (Location -> number).
Visually inspect area at a safe distance for actual fire or false alarm.
Notify fire-monitoring station of either result.
Perform evacuation and extinguishing operations as required.
IF a FIRE, direct fire fighters to the fire indicator panel and cause of alarm as they arrive.
IF a FALSE ALARM, advise maintenance technicians to determine and rectify cause.
Record all events in logbook.
3.2. Fire Fighter Functions
Fire Fighter Functions are those specifically used by the Fire Brigade on attendance. Following is an
explanation of their operation and the keystrokes required to perform the function required. These keys
are located at the top of the keypad marked “FIREFIGHTER’S FACILITY” and bordered in red.
The purpose of the internal buzzer is to alert people of a new event on the panel, and a new potential fire
danger. Once the fire's location has been determined, the fire-fighter may wish to silence the internal
buzzer without having to totally reset the alarm.
When the buzzer is operating, pressing the "ACK" key once will silence it, however the External Alarm
Bell will continue to sound. If a subsequent alarm arises, the buzzer will be reactivated and a second
ACK operation will be required to silence it.
When an alarm is acknowledged, the Alarm LED will stop flashing and light continuously.
RESET
RESET
The reset function momentarily disconnects power and resets all alarm parameters for the zone(s) that
have been acknowledged. This returns the zone back to its "normal" state. The reset key only operates
on zones with acknowledged alarms.
NOTE:
A suitably qualified fire officer should perform the above procedure. These are
suggested procedures only, and if specific fire procedures are available or issued, they
must prevail.
