16.3  Selection of Zones or Outputs for 
Disablement, Enablement or Test 
The panel provides a simple and straightforward 
means for selecting the sounder outputs and/or 
zones which are to be disabled, re-enabled or set to 
the test mode. The Fire Output, Fire Protection 
output and Fault  Output can also be individually 
disabled and enabled. 
The zone or output is selected using the Cursor 
Select feature. This allows the user to move a 
flashing cursor indication up or down through the 
yellow fault LEDs associated with the available 
zones and outputs until the required zone or output 
is highlighted. The yellow LED for the selected 
zone/output flashes in “Cursor” mode, which is 
easily distinguishable from all other indications. 
With the cursor flashing on the required 
zone/output,  pressing the Disable button disables 
the zone/output. Pressing the Enable button re-
enables the zone/output. Pressing the Test button 
initiates the test condition. [Note: Fire Output, Fire 
Protection  Output and Fault Output  cannot be 
placed in a test condition]. 
16.4  Disablement/Re-enablement of 
Detection Zones and Outputs 
Any or all of the zones can be disabled. 
A disabled zone will not report fire or fault 
conditions. The fire panel will respond normally to 
fire device operations and wiring faults on all 
enabled zones. 
The following outputs can also be individually 
disabled/enabled: 
•  All Sounder circuits. 
•  The Fire Output. 
•  The Fire Protection Output. 
•  The Fault Output. 
A disabled output will not report fault conditions and 
will not operate during a fault/fire alarm condition. 
The only exception to this is the Muster Alarm 
function which always operates the sounder circuits 
even if they are disabled. 
16.5  Detector Zone One Man Test 
When selected to the One Man Test condition, 
devices connected to the zone can be operated for 
test purposes without operating the Fire  output  or 
the Fire Protection outputs. 
The zones to be set to the One Man Test condition 
are  selected using the Cursor Select feature 
described in  16.3. With the cursor flashing on the 
required zone, pressing the Test button initiates the 
zone test. Pressing the Enable button or  pressing 
the Test button again clears the test condition and 
restores normal operation to the zone. 
The features of the One Man Zone Test condition 
are: 
•  A fire condition on a zone in Test Mode will not 
operate any of the fire outputs. 
•  Sounders can be configured not to respond to a 
detector test or to operate for 5 seconds and 
then automatically silence. When selected to 
respond to the detector zone test, sounders 
operate in general or zonal mode in accordance 
with the panel configuration. 
•  The panel will respond normally to a fire 
condition on any zone not selected to the Test 
Mode. 
•  After each test the panel and the device being 
tested is automatically reset allowing the next 
device to be tested without needing to return to 
the panel to silence and reset. 
•  If a fire condition occurs on any zone other than 
a zone in test mode, the panel responds fully to 
the fire condition as per its normal fire response 
and configuration. In this case the zone(s) in test 
will not be reset automatically. 
16.6  Alarm Sounder One Man Test 
The One Man Sounder Test operates all sounders 
on an intermittent basis until the Test mode is 
manually cleared. This allows an engineer to walk 
the  vessel  and confirm the operation of all the 
sounders. The sounder on/off cycle is 2 seconds on 
and 15 seconds off to allow operation to be 
confirmed without being too intrusive. 
A genuine fire alarm condition overrides the test 
mode and operates the sounders normally. 
16.7  Turning the Delay Mode on/off 
STANDARD (NON-CREW) MODE: 
The delay is automatically turned on when any 
of the outputs are configured to be delayed and 
automatically turned off when all of the outputs 
are configured not to be delayed.  The DELAY 
LED illuminates to indicate that the delay is on. 
Pressing the DISABLE button will illuminate the 
relevant fault LEDs to show which circuits have 
been set to the delay mode. 
CREW MODE: 
CREW mode is enabled by setting DIL switch 
2/6 OFF & 2/7 ON. 
The delay is automatically turned on in Crew 
mode and applies to all sounder circuits except 
circuits 1 & 2 on the panel motherboard. 
Sounder circuit 2 is intended for Bridge/crew 
areas and is never delayed. 
Sounder circuit 1 is intended for machinery 
space areas and is not delayed for a detector 
alarm in a machinery space zone but is delayed 
for a detector alarm in any other zone.
