1.1.4 Operating modes

Standby

FP400 Series User Guide 7

When the fire panel is in standby mode the Supply ON LED is activated. If a sounder

delay has been programmed the Sounder Delay LED will also be activated. There are no

acoustic signals.

Alarm

When the fire panel detects any alarm situation it will be indicated as follows:

 The general Fire LED will be activated.

 The zone Fire LED will be activated.

 The internal buzzer will sound continuously.

 The alarm relays (potential free) and sounder (with any programmed delay) will be

activated.

Fire panel operation in alarm state

The following operations can be performed while the fire panel is in alarm status:

 Silence the internal buzzer pressing the Silence Buzzer button.

 Silence sounders with Silence Sounders button. To re-activate them push the Sound

Alarm button. If a delay has been programmed, the sounders can be activated

without delay by keeping the Sound Alarm button pressed for 4 seconds (from

security level 1).

 Reset the system with the Reset button. It is not recommended to reset the system

until the location and resolution of the cause of the alarm has been established.

It is required that the control panel key is in the ON position in order to be

able to reset the panel.

Fault

When the fire panel detects a fault its type and location will be shown as:

 LED indicators, of general fault (flashing), of zone fault (flashing), power fault

(constant ON) or sounder fault (flashing)

 Acoustic indicator with intermittent sound of the internal buzzer.

 Output activation of the fault relay (potential free)

Fire panel operation in fault state

 Silence internal buzzer with Silence Buzzer button

 Restart system with Reset button

Potential causes for faults

 Zone faults are usually caused by open or short circuits (or because an end-of-line

resistor was not properly placed (4k7))

 The normal reasons for a Power Supply Fault are the absence of mains voltage,

batteries not installed or at low voltage, or defective/broken fuses, either in the mains

input or the battery input.

 Sounder faults are normally caused by a failure of the protective fuses or to short or

open circuit lines. A badly placed end-of-line resistor in the sounder line may also

cause problems.

Disabled status

The fire panel allows the enable and disablement of each zone independently by pressing

the corresponding zone disable button. When a zone is disabled, none of the indications

or events that may occur within the zone will be reported to the fire panel. It is therefore

important to limit the usage of this feature.

This is reported in the following way:

 LED indicators for general Disable (intermittent) and/or zone Disable (continuous).

 Acoustic indicator by means of the internal buzzer with an intermittent sound.

Fire panel operation during disable status

 Silence internal buzzer with Silence Buzzer button.

 Restart the system with the Reset button.

Zone test status

The fire panel allows performing of tests on every zone independently. This mode is

achieved by keeping the Test button pressed while pressing the requited Zone button.

Once the zone is in test mode, the fire panel will activate the corresponding outputs for 3

seconds and will then automatically reset the system to check the detector (or zone)

again without having to walk to the fire panel.

This is reported in the following way:

 LED indicators - the general Test LED is steady ON, as well as the Fault LED of the

zone in test.

 There is no acoustic signal.

If someone wishes to activate the sounders during the test mode, it will not

have any programmed delay.

Out of order

The fire panel enters into an out-of-service mode only when the mains power is out and

the batteries voltage is below 22 V. In this mode there is no alarm or fault warning.

 Light indicators: general fault (flashing) and out of service (steady).

 Acoustic indicator with intermittent sound

 Activation of outputs: activation of fault relay (potential free)

When main power is re-established, the fire panel returns to its former status.

If the mains failure lasts for an extended time, the panel will enter into system

fault when the battery voltage reaches 19 V. All operations will then stop.

Fire panel operation in/out-of-service

 Silence the internal buzzer with the Silence Buzzer button.

If the fire panels enter into this mode, it is recommended to disconnect the

system until mains power is restored. This prevents possible damage to the

batteries.

2 WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE OR FAULT

This fire system has been designed to guarantee a quick and efficient reaction in case of

alarm. To achieve this, the fire panel checks all the devices connected to it constantly,

making sure that the installation is correct and providing signals in order to warn users in

case of any event or abnormality.

It is required to know the meaning of each of the control panel indicators in order to be

able to react accordingly.

Read the following steps carefully. It could be extremely useful in case of any

alarm or fault situation.

KEEP CALM

1. In an alarm situation, the fire panel activates the sounders to warn users about the

event. It is very important to keep calm, regardless the acoustic signal, so the right

decisions may be taken.

KEYPAD ACCESS

2. Remember: To be able to operate the fire panel keypad, it is required to place the key

in the ON position.

PRESS THE SILENCE BUZZER BUTTON

3. The user may press the Silence Buzzer button in order to silence the internal buzzer.

This will help to think about what to do under better conditions.

Sounders may also be disabled by pressing the Silence Sounders button.

IDENTIFY THE ALARM ROOT CAUSE

4. The LED indicators on the front of the control panel will help to identify what kind of

alarm or fault has caused the system to enter in the current state.

ACT

5. Once the cause has been identified, react according to the emergency plan that must

be defined at every site.

SYSTEM RESET

6. Once the problem has been solved, the system may be reset to clear the system and

again be in a normalised environment.

3 MAINTENANCE

3.1 System maintenance

To guarantee correct functioning of the system and compliance with EN-54 standards,

the following checks are recommended:

Daily Verification

Check that the system is in ready status. If the above is not so, take the appropriate

measures. (e.g. verification of incidents, alerts to maintenance, etc.).

Weekly Verification

Check at least one detector or call point to confirm the functioning of the panel (make

sure you do not always check the same one).

Quarterly Verification

Carry out a quarterly verification by personnel who are experts in fire systems. This check

must test one device per zone, supervising the activation of the corresponding outputs,

verification of batteries and their load voltage.

Annual Verification

All the system devices must be checked annually.

Recommended! Keep a register book for noting down all system incidents,

such as fire alarms, faults, modifications to the installation, etc.

3.2 Battery maintenance

The batteries must be replaced periodically as recommended by the manufacturer. The

useful life of the battery is 4 years. Avoid the total discharge of the batteries.

3.3 Cleaning

Keep the outside and inside of the panel clean. Carry out periodic cleaning using a damp

cloth for the outside. Do not use products containing solvents to clean the unit. Do not

clean the inside with liquid products.
