3 Automatic Alarms - what to do
The following assumes that access passcode 2 is active,
or that a user interface door is fitted and is open (refer to
Section 4.1.2).
3.1 Fire
Automatic panel actions - If the system detects a fire
alarm, the panel always does the following automatically:
a. Operates the internal (high-pitched) buzzer.
b. Flashes the red FIRE lamp and numbered red FIRE
ZONE lamp.
c. Displays and prints (if printer is installed and enabled)
information about the event.
d. Operates the fire transfer relay, for fire brigade alert.
e. Operates the sounder circuits and remote Control
modules according to the panel’s Control Matrix
(configured when the system was commissioned).
f. If any delayed sounders are incorporated in the Control Matrix
program, a warning message appears on the text display
every 4 seconds, indicating how much time is left until the
first delayed control will be activated. The DISABLEMENT
LED, if configured to light, is lit steady, whilst the DELAY
ACTIVE LED state changes from steady to flashing mode.
Note: Once the timer has run out and the sounders activated,
the DELAY ACTIVE lamp goes out if there are no other
disablements on the system. When the sounders are
silenced the DELAY ACTIVE LED and DISABLEMENT
LED (if configured to light) light steady again.
g. Any pre-alarm indications are suppressed when the
panel enters the FIRE alarm state. In the FIRE alarm
state, the panel will give no further indication of pre-
alarm occurrences. Point information on pre-alarms
may be accessed at the LCD but are suppressed by
the fire event information.
Recommended operator actions:
1 Press the ACCEPT pushbutton. More information about
the alarm appears on the display. Flashing lamps
change to steady operation. The internal buzzer changes
to intermittent operation (once every 12 seconds).
2 Follow prescribed instructions for evacuation of
premises, notification of Fire Brigade and investigation
of source of Fire.
3 If additional sounder operations are required to
achieve a complete and immediate evacuation of the
premises, press the EVACUATE pushbutton.
4 Once evacuation of premises is achieved, or at the
direction of an authorised person, the Alarm sounders
may be silenced by pressing the SILENCE
SOUNDERS pushbutton. Any delayed operations for
which the timer has not yet expired are also cancelled
by pressing SILENCE SOUNDERS.
5 To re-start sounders after having pressed SILENCE
SOUNDERS, press the RESOUND SOUNDERS
pushbutton.
6 When cause of alarm has been removed and call
points and input devices have been locally reset, the
system may be returned to NORMAL by pressing the
RESET pushbutton.
