11.0 Response to an Alarm
11.1 Automatic Detection
If a detector (smoke, heat etc.) activates in a zone of the panel this is known as an automatic
activation. The panel responds by;
• Illuminating the ‘General Fire’ indicator.
• Flashing the relevant zone fire indicator and displaying on the LCD.
• Fast pulsing of the internal buzzer.
• Activating alarm outputs as programmed, after any delays have expired.
• Activating the Fire Link output after any programmed delays have expired.
• Activating the Fire Protection equipment output after any programmed delays have
expired.
11.2 Manual Detection
If a Manual Call Point is operated in the zone of a panel this is known as manual activation.
The panel responds by;
• Illuminating the ‘General Fire’ indicator.
• Flashing the relevant zone fire indicator and displaying on the LCD.
• Fast pulsing of the internal buzzer.
• Activating alarm outputs as programmed, after any delays have expired.
• Activating the Fire Link output after any programmed delays have expired.
• Activating the Fire Protection equipment output after any programmed delays have
expired.
It is usual to have no programmed delay for a manual activation.
11.3 Coincidence/Dependency Activation
Please see section 10.0
11.4 Silencing the Alarms
Touching and holding Silence when logged in will silence the alarm
outputs.
11.5 Resetting the panel after an Alarm
After the cause of the alarm has been determined (and entered in the log by the authorised
user) the panel can be reset if required. Manual Call Points, if triggered, must first be reset
locally.
When logged in, touch and hold reset. The panel will reset any latched
devices on its loops. The Reset sequence takes about 20 seconds during
which time the panel will not detect new fires.
