The information on the transmission to the fire brigade and the sirens given in this chapter are only
valid for the common case that the panel was configured during commissioning so that an alarm notifi-
cation of the fire brigade takes place by the primary transmitting device and the local sirens act as pri-
mary alarming device. The operating and displaying devices of the fields TRANSM. DEVICE 1 and
ALARM. DEVICE 1 are only effective in the way described then!
Otherwise you have to operate the transmitting device and the alarming device by the use of the menu.
The installer of the system informs you on the corresponding details of the configuration.
Reset the internal buzzer (press the button 'Silence buzzer').
Check if the fire brigade has been notified. The light-emitting diodes in the field TRANSM. DE-
VICE 1 indicate this as follows:
Is one of the yellow light-emitting diodes 'Fault' or 'Call fire brigade' in the field TRANSM. DE-
VICE 1 illuminated, it is not certain that the fire brigade has been notified automatically. In this
case contact the fire brigade immediately!
If the red light-emitting diode 'Activated' is not illuminated, the fire brigade has not been notified.
The omission may be caused by a defect (in this case, the fire brigade is to be contacted immedi-
ately), or by the activation of the alarm delay procedure and, with it, of the delayed activation of the
primary transmitting device. In case of a two-zone dependency it may be caused by the fact that the
transmitting device will be activated only after an alarm from another detector zone which is also
contained in this two-zone dependency.
If the delay procedure has been activated, the light-emitting diode 'Alarm delay' in the field TRANSM.
DEVICE 1 is illuminated. If you press the button 'Alarm delay/Explore' in the field TRANSM. DE-
VICE 1 during the time set for reaction (e.g., 30 seconds), the light-emitting diode 'Alarm delay' will
start to flash as an indication that you have started the exploration timer. Now you have exactly the set
exploration time (e.g., 270 seconds; this time is country-specifically setable) in order to decide if it is
necessary to notify the fire brigade. If you decide that this is not necessary you can forestall the notifi-
cation by disabling the alarming detector zone(s).
In case of doubt, you have to contact the fire brigade immediately!
Check, if the connected sirens have been activated. If you are within hearing distance of the sirens,
this check is very easy. If not, you will have to rely on the displays in the field ALARM.
DEVICE 1:
Is the light-emitting diode 'Activated' not illuminated, the sirens have not been activated.
Is the light-emitting diode 'Fault/Disabled' illuminated or flashing, it is not clear whether or not the
sirens have been activated. In this case you have to start alternative measures to alarm the persons in
the endangered areas.
Reset the sirens only if you are sure that no evacuation alarm is needed!
Find out where the first fire alarm has occurred.
The first line of the LC-display shows the number of the detector zone and the number of the fire
detector that activated the alarm, the second and third lines show hints on the locality. You also can
get information on the locality by looking up the numbers of the detector zones and the fire detec-
tors in the list of detector zones provided in the engineering data.
Find out how many alarms were activated.
The fourth line displays the last alarm. Its running number (e.g., [6.ALARM]) shows how many
alarms were activated (in the example: 6).
Take a survey of all current alarms.
Here, the superiority of the operation of the control panel becomes obvious: By using the '
↑↓
'-
buttons, you can scroll through all current alarms and obtain information on the locality of every
one of them.
If the displays 'FAULT' or 'Disablement' are illuminated, you have to find out which parts of the
system are affected and start alternative measures if necessary.
Parts of the system (e.g., actuations) that are disabled or have a fault, cannot cope with their assigned
tasks.
