Control panel
The control panel is the heart of the system. It is normally located near to the main entry or exit point of the
protected premises. The control panel continuously monitor devices that are connected to the device loop. The
device loop cable is routed through the protected premises to cover all areas with both ends of the loop
terminating at the control panel. On the loop cable are installed devices such as fire sensors that constantly
monitor the environment for fire. Alarm devices on the loop provide alert and evacuation alarm to warn
occupants in the protected premises in the event of a fire.

Navigation
On selecting the Menu option the display shows the user menu.
The functions and submenu options accessible are determined by the access level. The access level 1 is
without a PIN code entry, while access level 2 (Customer Mode) or higher access level will require a PIN code

The instructions covered here are of all those menu options under Access levels 1 and 2.
At any level in a menu momentarily selecting the Back option will abort the operation.
At any point in a form selecting the Quit option will disregard and not save entries made and return to the menu
display. Once a form is filled-in you must select the Save option to acknowledge and save any changes made.
If the time taken between button presses exceed a few minutes then the panel will automatically revert to

The Customer Mode PIN code is programmed during the commissioning of the system and is passed on to
the person(s) responsible for the fire alarm system on site.

Weekly tests
Every week during normal working hours the fire detection and alarm system should be tested. It is important to
inform the alarm receiving centre of the fire test. A fire test reminder will appear on the display every week on
the specified day if the option is turned on. The fire test should be conducted at a specific time of the day.
A weekly test can be carried out at a manual call point without breaking the call point glass by use of a test key.
How to enter the Weekly test mode
To put the system in a weekly test mode and to identify the next device to be tested, carry out the following
procedure at the panel.
¨ First enter the Customer Mode by entering Access Level 2 PIN code, see page 9.
¨ Set the system for 'Weekly Test' by following these procedures.

Disablement condition
A disablement condition is the manual or automatic disablement of a part of the fire detection system. An
automatic disablement may be pre-configured for your premises to disable smoke sensors, in areas where
smoke may be present for example during the normal working hours. Also a disablement may be necessary
where building work is being undertaken that could result in a false alarm.
