1.0 Introduction
The Protec 3200 Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed to comply with European Standards EN54 parts 2 and 4.
The Protec 3200 is also capable of distinguishing between automatic (Detector) and manual (Call Point) zone activation. The panel takes the appropriate action based on the type of alarm activation.
The Protec 3200 constantly monitors all detector and sounder circuits. The internal power supply regularly performs internal checks ensuring correct operation. The standby batteries are monitored for charge and condition.
Any faults detected are reported via the front panel display. A fault output is provided for connection to external equipment.
The Appendices of this manual include a system set up sheet and an example event log.
The system set up sheet is completed by the commissioning engineer prior to system hand over. The system set up sheet details exactly how the system has been set up and programmed. It will probably be the only such record and should be kept in a safe place.
The event log must be completed by the authorised user of the system whenever a Fire or Fault event occurs. It is advisable to make copies of the example event log to continue the log once the included sheet has been filled.
Important Note:
There are no user serviceable parts within the Protec 3200 panel. All internal maintenance work
MUST be carried out by a competent person trained to undertake such work.
A separate Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual is available.
This product has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all applicable EU council directives.

2.0 User Responsibilities
The registered owner of the fire alarm system has specific responsibilities regarding the installation, testing and maintenance of the fire alarm system.
BS5839 Pt 1: 2002 states that the owner of the fire alarm system must appoint a single, named, person to supervise all matters regarding the fire alarm system.
The following is a brief summary of the appointed persons responsibilities.
2.1 Requirements of the Appointed Responsible Person
•
Check the fire alarm equipment at least every 24 hours ensuring there are no faults on the system or report any faults to the site maintenance manager.
•
Ensure that arrangements are in place for testing the fire alarm system as specified in BS5839 Pt 1 :
2002 Section 6. (Summarised in section 3.0 of this manual).
•
Ensure that the system event log is kept up to date and is available for inspection by any authorised person. An example event log is included in Appendix 2.
•
Ensure that all occupants of the protected premises are trained how to use the system properly and that they are aware of what action to take in the event of an alarm.
•
Ensure that false alarms are minimised.
•
Ensure all detectors and manual call points remain un-obstructed. Detectors must have at least 500mm clear space preserved in all directions around them.

3.0 Routine Testing of the System.
Recommendations for testing of the system are detailed in BS5839 Pt 1: 2002 (Section 6).
Routine testing is outlined below:
3.1 Daily Inspection
•
Check that the ‘Supply Present’ indicator is illuminated.
•
Check for any faults on the system and report these to the site maintenance manager.
3.2 Weekly Test
•
Perform an indicator test (Lamp Test) to check the integrity of the front panel indications, and internal buzzer. See Section 5.1
•
Ensure no manual call points or detectors are obstructed.
•
Operate a manual call point or detector during normal working hours to ensure the fire alarm system operates correctly. See Section 11 if it is required to place the zone in ‘Test Mode’ for the duration of the test
•
A different manual call point or detector on a different zone should be tested each week, thus testing all the devices over a period of time.
•
Ensure the system sounders are operational.
•
Ensure the sounders are operated for a minimum amount of time during testing. Genuine alarms can then be distinguished by the occupants of the building.
3.3 Monthly Test
•
Perform the weekly test recommended in 3.2.
•
If an automatic generator is used as part of the mains failure back-up system it should be started up once each month by simulated failure of the normal power supply, and then run in this mode for at least
1 hour.
•
Visually inspect the stand-by batteries and their connections. Check that the batteries are capable of supplying the alarm sounders.
3.4 Quarterly Test
•
Perform the monthly test recommended in 3.3.
•
Ensure the system event log is up to date and correct. Check that all faults noted have been attended to.
3.5 Annual Test
•
Perform the Quarterly test recommended in 3.4.
•
Test every detector, manual call point and all auxiliary equipment for correct functionality.
3.6 5 Yearly Test
•
Perform the Annual test recommended in 3.5.
•
Carry out a full wiring check in accordance with the testing and inspection requirements of the relevant
National wiring regulations (I.E.E regulations for the UK).

7.0 Fault Indications
When a fault is detected in the critical operating path of the system, it will display this on the front panel display. The internal buzzer will also pulse slowly.
The ‘General Fault’ indicator will illuminate, together with some other indicator that details the fault.
In general, fault indicators flash until the fault is accepted (pressing the ‘Mute Buzzer’ button), the fault indicator then lights steady and the internal buzzer is muted. Further faults reactivate the buzzer.
In the event of any fault the following action should be taken:
•
Mute the fault buzzer by pressing the ‘Mute Buzzer’ button on the panel.
•
Note the fault down in the log book and take action to remedy the fault. In all cases expert advice should be sought.
When the fault has been rectified the fault indicator will automatically extinguish.
7.1 Zone Faults
Faults on the detection zones are shown on the upper right of the display. The ‘General Fault’ indicator will be illuminated accompanied by the relevant zone indicator. Pressing ‘Mute Buzzer’ mutes the buzzer but
WILL NOT make the zone indicator go steady.
7.2 System Faults
The 3200 performs many self tests to ensure the software is working correctly.
The fault should be cleared by pressing ‘Silence Alarms’ then ‘Reset Panel’ whilst in access level 2.
If the fault re-occurs with 3 minutes the 3200 has a microprocessor fault, and the maintenance manager must be alerted.
7.3 Alarm Faults
A fault has been detected on one or more of the two sounder outputs. One or more of the sounder circuits may no longer operate correctly.
7.4 Power Supply Faults
A fault has been detected in the power supply module. This may be due to a local mains supply failure or because the stand-by batteries or charger are faulty.
7.5 Aux 24V. Fault
A fault has been detected with the Auxiliary 24V supply output of the panel.

8.0 Coincidence Zones
During commissioning, detection zones may have been programmed as ‘coincidence’ zones. This means that both of the zones must activate before the alarms sound or the Global Fire Contacts activate. Manual
Call Point activation on either zone overrides the coincidence programming.
If one zone is triggered the cause of the activation must be investigated, if no action is taken within 2 minutes the alarms will sound and the Global Fire contacts will activate.
If the cause of the alarm is deemed false, the 3200 should be reset.
To determine if coincidence zones have been programmed into the system, consult the system set-up chart
(Appendix 1).

•
Illuminating the ‘General Fire’ indicator.
•
Flashing the relevant zone fire indicator.
•
Fast pulsing the internal buzzer.
•
Activating non-disabled alarm outputs.
•
Activating the Global Fire contacts.
9.2 Manual Detection
If a Manual Call Point is operated on a zone, it is known as a ‘Manual Operation’. The 3200 responds by:
•
Illuminating the ‘General Fire’ indicator.
•
Illuminating the ‘MCP Fire’ indicator.
•
Flashing the relevant zone fire indicator.
•
Fast pulsing the internal buzzer.
•
Activating non-disabled alarm outputs (immediately).
•
Activating the Global Fire contacts.
•
Re-sounding the alarms if the zone had a previously silenced automatic operation.
9.3 Silencing the Alarms
The alarms and internal buzzer are silenced by pressing ‘Silence Alarms’ in access level 2.
9.4 Resetting After an Alarm
After the cause of the alarm has been determined (and entered in the log by the authorised user) the event is reset, if required. In access level 2, press ‘Silence Alarms’ then press ‘Reset Panel’. This resets any latched detectors on the zone connections. Manual Call Points must be reset manually.
9.5 New Zone into Alarm
If a new zone goes into alarm or a previously silenced zone (triggered by an automatic device) has a manual activation, the alarms and the internal buzzer will re-sound.
9.6 Activating The Alarms Manually
To evacuate the building press ‘Sound Alarms’ in access level 2. The alarm outputs will activate, but the
Global Fire Contacts WILL NOT be activated.
