TSD007 SIGNALPOINT USER GUIDE, ISSUE 1 – 09/09/13
Introduction: -
This manual contains all of the information required for the use and operation of the EMS
SignalPoint. This manual is also written in a format that presumes that the system has been correctly installed and commissioned. When using the system it is important to follow this user manual at all times. Any questions on the system should be put to the
Installer/Maintainer.
Procedure:
In accordance with BS5839 Part 1:2002, written procedures must be established in dealing with alarms for: -
Fire, Fault Warnings and the Disablement of any part of the System.
A responsible person should be appointed who ensures that all users are instructed in the proper use of the system and are familiar with all associated procedures. The nominated person shall also be responsible for liaising with the maintenance company, on all matters relating to the maintenance of the system. One of the associated procedures is to maintain an up to date logbook.
The logbook should include properly recorded events including all real and false alarms.
Also any testing or even temporary disablements should be noted. Infact, any events affecting the system should be recorded. It should always be kept in a safe place near the system, only with access by authorised personnel. A sample logbook sheet is displayed in Section 11.
Warnings and Cautions:
These instructions contain the procedures to follow in order to operate the SignalPoint control panel correctly. It is assumed that the user has been suitably trained and is familiar with the relevant regulations.
All equipment is to be operated in accordance with the appropriate standards applicable.
The material and instructions covered in this manual have been carefully checked for accuracy and are presumed to be correct. However the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies and reserves the right to modify and revise this document without notice.
User Control Levels:
SignalPoint has three different access levels. They are Levels 1, 2 & 3.
At User Level 1, all of the displays are completely functional, however the panel’s control buttons and menu access features are inhibited.
At User Level 2, (Standard user access level via control keyswitch); all panel controls are functional and the control panel’s menu is accessible. The requirement of the Engineers
PIN at the Engineers Config Menu, allows access to Level 3.
At User Level 3, all the panel’s controls are functional and the control panel’s menu is fully accessible making full system configuration possible. User Level 3 is reached by entering the Engineers PIN from Level 2. (Engineers Config Menu). User Level 3 is intended for use by the System Installer/Maintenance Contractor.
TSD007 SIGNALPOINT USER GUIDE, ISSUE 1 – 09/09/13
User Passwords:
It is possible for the system to be programmed to allow a PIN number rather than the control keyswitch to change from Access Level 1 to Level 2.
The system is not programmed, as standard with this feature as the control keyswitch is normally used, however up to 99 User PINS can be assigned/changed at User Level 3 by the Installer/Maintenance Contractor if required.
Controls and Displays: -
Controls Layout:
The SignalPoint control panel provides status information via the Display, Zone Lamps and Status Lamps. The display and control of the panel’s functions is achieved through two control panel sections. Figure 1, shows the display area which includes Fire Zone
Lamps, the Display itself and the “” and “” Scroll Buttons.
Figure 1 - Zone Lamps and Display (model shown 83-5024)
The SignalPoint Panel is controlled by the use of the Control Keyswitch, a Numeric
Keypad and 3 Control Buttons. Fig 2 shows the Panel Controls and Indicator Lamps.

NOTE: The Status Lamps/Buttons & Control Keyswitch/Buttons operation is identical, for
all styles of control panel.

Step by Step Guidance:
Weekly Test Recommendations.
A manual call point should be tested on the system each week. It is recommended that the test be carried out at the same time each week with any poor audibility instances reported.
A different manual call point should be tested each week to ensure that all call points are tested over time.
The results of the test and the call points used should be recorded in the logbook. If the system is connected to an alarm receiving centre they should be informed before and after the test and the fire alarm signal confirmed.
Carrying Out the Test.
If applicable contact the alarm receiving centre to inform them that a test is about to be carried out.
Turn the key on the control panel to the ISOLATED position.
Wait 15 seconds.
15 seconds
Activate a manual call point by inserting the test key.
Fire alarm with text and zonal indication will now be displayed on the control panel along with sounder operation.
Wait for 30 seconds.
30 seconds
Press the silence alarms button. (The time period shown is an average time and maybe reduced if required, dependant on the size of the system).
Press the Reset alarms button to reset the fire alarm event.
SILENCE
ALARMS
RESET/ LED
TEST
The display should return to normal. The key should be returned to the
OFF position and removed from the control panel.
If applicable contact the alarm receiving centre and confirm that the test has been completed and verify signal received.
The test is now complete and the logbook should now be updated.

Routine Tests: -
In order to ensure that the system is fully operational and to ensure compliance with
B.S.5839 Part1: 2002, the following routine tests to the system should be carried out.
Note: Records should be maintained of all testing activities, on the enclosed
Logbook Data Table.
Daily:
Check the control panel to ensure that it indicates normal operation. (Status should be
Normal). If any fault is indicated, check that it has been recorded in the logbook event data table and that the appropriate actions have been taken. E.g. informing the maintenance company.
Weekly:
Test at least one detector or call point, to confirm the operation of the panel and the audible alarms. A different zone should be tested each week and, if possible, a different device. Record the outcomes of the testing.
The zone and the device number should be noted into the Control Panel logbook. Any malfunctions must be reported. The “LED TEST” key should be pressed to ensure that all of the LED Indicators are in full working order.
Quarterly:
The person nominated with the responsibility for the system, should ensure that a competent person checks the system every 3 months. The competent person shall: - i) Check the Logbook Event Data Table entries, and the results of any action taken. ii) Check the standby batteries and the charger voltage. iii) Test at least one device in each zone, to verify the functionality of the Control Panel. iv) Check the operation of the audible alarms and any link to a remote manned centre, central station, etc. v) Carryout a visual inspection of the system to check for alterations or obstructions. vi) Issue a Certificate of Testing
.
Annually:
The responsible person should ensure that, in addition to the quarterly checks, each device on the system is tested and that a visual inspection is made of the cable fittings and equipment.
Periodic Cleaning:
The Control Panel and devices should be periodically cleaned, by wiping with a soft damp cloth.
However, the use of solvents on the Control Panel or Devices is not recommended.
TSD007 SIGNALPOINT USER GUIDE, ISSUE 1 – 09/09/13
Logbook: -
One or more individuals should be appointed, to maintain a Logbook and to oversee all entries and record all events resulting from or affecting the system.
The Logbook should be kept in a safe place, closely situated to the Control Panel. It should only be accessible to those authorised persons
The names of the responsible appointed persons should be recorded on the Reference
Data Table below.
All events including real and false Fire Events, Faults, Pre-Alarm Warnings, Tests, temporary Disablements should be properly recorded.
Service visits should also be recorded. Such recordings should be accompanied with brief notes of any work that has been or is to be carried out.
Such Reference Data should be detailed in the sample below: -
