Hoyles GEMINI Battery powered fire alarm - Manual (Page 2)

Monitoring: 1. Overview
!Battery low monitoring gives audible and visual warning at the
GX32CIE. Turning GX32CIE keyswitch to TEST MODE enable location
of low battery to be determined by bleeping the sounder in the defective
unit.
!Cable link towards end of line is monitored. If cut or severed this is
relayed to GX32CIE to give audible and visual indication. Turning
GX32CIE keyswitch to TEST MODE enables the fault to be located by
bleeping the sounder in the last serviceable unit.
!Cable from GX32CIE is constantly monitored for FIRE, SILENCE and
TEST MODE signals

The GX32 fire alarm system has been designed to meet the
requirements of the Work Place regulations for electrically powered fire
alarm systems. As a manual system the GX32 complies with BS5839
Pt.1 AppG and also BS5839 Pt.6 Grade C for battery powered smoke
alarms when used with the optional interlinkable smoke alarms.
Because each Callpoint/Sounder has its own battery and
comprehensive cable monitoring between all units, the system sections
will continue to function individually even if the cables are cut or short-
circuited. For this reason more economical cable can be used than is
possible with conventional fire alarm systems.
Battery life is approximately 12 months but will depend upon usage. A
battery fault monitor is incorporated in each Callpoint/Sounder and the
Control Panel.
Up to 32 GX32MCP Callpoint/Sounders can be connected to a
GX32CIE. The system must be connected as shown in the
accompanying wiring diagram. It is NOT possible to use spur wiring. The
polarity of the wiring is important.
A battery fault in any callpoint/sounder will be reported as a fault to the
GX32CIE. However although the GX32SMi smoke alarms have a battery
fault this will only give local warning it will NOT be reported to the
GX32CIE.
