6.0 6100 Fire Indications
The 6100 displays fire information on the LCD along with the General Fire indicator and the relevant red zone
indicators. The following sections details the meaning of each indicator.
6.1 General Fire Indicator Illuminated
The 6100 has detected a fire on one of its zones, or has been activated from another piece of
equipment connected to its Remote Alarm input.
The building fire plan should be executed immediately
6.2 Multifunction Zone Indicator Flashing Red
The 6100 has detected a fire in the zone shown. The General Fire indicator will always accompany
this and the internal buzzer will be fast pulsing. Indication of a zone fire always overrides a zone fault,
disablement or test indication.
7.0 6100 Fault Indications
When the 6100 has detected a fault in any of the critical operating paths of the system it will display this on the
front panel display. The internal buzzer will also pulse slowly.
The General Fault indicator will be illuminated and is always accompanied by other indicator(s) detailing the
exact fault.
In general, fault indicators flash until the fault is accepted ( by pressing the Mute Buzzer button in access level
2 ) the fault indicator then illuminates steadily and the internal buzzer will be muted. Further faults activate the
buzzer again.
In the event of any fault the following action should be taken:
• Investigate the fault, then, at access level 2, accept the fault by pressing the Mute Buzzer button.
• Note the fault down in the Logbook and take action to remedy the fault. In all cases expert advice should
be sought.
When the fault has been rectified the fault indicator will automatically extinguish.
The following sections give descriptions of each fault.
7.1 Zone Faults
The 6100 displays any faults in the first 16 zones on the multifunction zone indicators. All Zone faults
are also displayed on the LCD. The General Fault indicator will be illuminated accompanied by the
relevant zone indicator flashing yellow. Pressing Mute Buzzer will mute the buzzer but WILL NOT
make the zone indicator go steady.
7.2 System Faults
The 6100 performs regular self tests to ensure the software is working correctly. If a fault is detected
in software operation a System Fault is declared. This is a latching fault and can only be cleared by
using the ‘clear system faults’ menu.
7.3 Alarm Fault
A fault has been detected on one or more of the alarm devices connected to the loop, or one or both
of the conventional alarm outputs has a fault. One or more alarm devices may no longer operate
