The Haes Excel-EN encompasses all of these attributes to provide the fire alarm engineer’s panel of choice. The Excel-EN panel is available from 2 to 12 Conventional and/or Twin Wire (sav-wire) zones. For the fire alarm engineer, the Excel-EN has been designed to minimise labour costs by providing ample room for tasks such as wiring and changing batteries. Activation is via key switch or access code, which means you should always be able to work on the panel and the one man walk tests will help reduce the cost of maintaining the fire alarm system. Simplicity is one of the most important aspects when considering the end user of a fire alarm panel. The colour coded buttons and the 3 step silence functionality gives non-technical people the confidence to correctly manage their fire alarm system. All inputs and outputs are fully programmable and there are options to have delays to the outputs. The programming features of the Excel-EN also include 3 different modes to help reduce false alarms. Local fire authorities are demanding this type of functionality to reduce unwanted callouts from alarm receiving centres As standard, all Excel-EN panels provide two monitored sounder circuits, Fire & Fault VFCO relays, Fire & Fault switched negative outputs, class change and an alert input. A fully functional repeater panel is available via a plug in comms PCB. Excel-EN panels support a large range of conventional detectors including, Apollo, Hochiki & Nittan. The panels are supplied with a 3.0 amp internal power supply module. This module complies with the requirements of EN54-4 : 1988 and provides temperature compensated battery management charging. Excel-EN panels are approved to European standards EN54-2 & 4, Fire Detection and Alarm Systems – Control & Indicating Equipment.

This guide is intended as an aid to designers and installers of fire detection systems. It is NOT to be used as a substitute to BS5839 which should be read in full. In order to direct those responding to a fire alarm signal, particularly the fire service, to the area of a fire, all buildings, other than very small buildings, need to be divided into detection zones. Detection zones need to be small enough for a fire to be located quickly. • • • • If the total floor area of the building is greater than 300m2, each zone should be restricted to a single storey If the total floor area of the building is less than 300m2 a zone may cover more than a single storey For voids above or below the floor area of a room, these may be included within the same zone of the room, provided that the void and the room constitute a single fire compartment The floor area of a single zone should not exceed 2000m2. Detectors • • • • • A person searching a zone for a fire in a non- addressable fire system should not have to travel more than 60m to identify the source of a fire The sensing element of a smoke detection device should not be less than 25mm and not more than 600mm below ceiling The sensing element of a heat detector should not be less than 25mm and not more than 150mm below ceiling When mounted on a flat ceiling, smoke detection devices have an individual coverage of 7.5m radius. However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 10.6m x 10.6m giving an actual coverage of 112m2 per device When mounted on a flat ceiling, heat detection devices have an individual coverage of 5.3m radius. However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 7.5m x 7.5m giving an actual coverage of 56.3m2 per device. Call Points • • A person should not have to travel more than 45m along an escape route to reach a Manual Call Point (25m if disabled person to operate, or rapid fire development is likely). Manual Call Points should be sited at all stair wells and exits from the building. The frangible element of the manual call point should be positioned 1.4m (+/- 200mm) from the floor level. (Unless a wheelchair user is likely to be the first person to raise the alarm). Sounders • • • Sounder device cabling should be arranged so that in the event of a fault, at least one sounder will remain operational during a fire condition. The minimum sound level should be 65dB(A) or 5dB(A) above a background noise which is louder than 60dB(A) (if lasting more than 30 seconds) and at a frequency of between 500Hz and 1000Hz. The maximum sound level should not be greater than 120dB(A) at any normally accessible point. This may be reduced to 60dB(A) in stairways, enclosures up to 60m2 and specific points of limited extent. For areas where people are sleeping, sounder devices should produce a minimum 75dB(A) at the bed-head with all doors shut. In buildings providing sleeping accomodation for a significant number of people, all bedrooms should have both audible and visual alarms. Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 10 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Beacons • Visual alarms such as beacons, should always be mounted at a minimum height of 2.1m from floor level. General • • • • • • Fire Alarm Control Panels should be installed at a location appropriate for staff and fire fighters All mains supply isolators must be double pole and suitably marked All joints to be fire resisting, junction boxes to be labelled ‘FIRE ALARM’. All cables to be fire resisting with a minimum cross-sectional area of 1mm2. Cable using trunking as a means of containment must be clipped using fire resistant supports WITHIN THE TRUNKING. Zone charts should be fitted in all appropriate locations (adjacent to control equipment and repeaters). CABLE TYPES & LIMITATIONS To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) regulations and to reduce the risk of electrical interference in the system wiring, we recommend the use of screened cables throughout the installation. Acceptable, commonly available, screened cables, which can be used on both the sounder and detector circuits include, NoBurn™ FP200™, Firetuff™, Firecel™, MICC (Pyro™) or any other cable complying with BS 6387 categories C, W, Z.. Refer to BS 5839 pt1 clause 26 for detailed information on cables wiring and interconnections. CABLING Suitable cables should be brought into the cabinet using the knockouts provided via a suitable cable gland recommended for use with that cable. The screen or drain wire of circuits should be bonded to earth at one location only, and should be continuous throughout the circuit. Drain wires should be terminated in the cabinet using the earthing terminal provided. CABLE LENGTHS The maximum recommended cable length for a zone or sounder circuit is 1Km. This, however, is highly dependant on the number and type of devices connected. If in doubt, cable load and resistance calculations should be undetaken to ensure devices are working within specified limits. MAINS PROVISION The mains supply to the fire alarm panel should be hard wired, using suitable three core cable (no less than 1.0 mm² and no more than 2.5mm²) or a suitable three conductor system that meets the appropriate national wiring regulations. The panel should be fed from an isolating switched fused spur, supplied directly from the Main Distribution Board, fused at 3A. This should be secure from unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM’. The mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel. As an alternative to a switched fused spur, an appropriately fused double pole isolating device may be used providing it meets the appropriate national wiring regulations. All system wiring should be installed to meet BS5839 Pt 1 : 2002 and BS7671 (Wiring Regulations). Other national standards of installation should be used where applicable.

An article is not regarded as properly used if it is used “without regard to any relevant information or advice” relating to its use made available by the supplier. It is assumed that the system, of which this control panel is a part, has been designed by a competent fire alarm system designer in accordance with BS 5839 Part 1 and with regard to BS EN 54 parts 2 and 4 in the case of control equipment and power supplies. Design drawings should be provided to clearly show the position of any field devices and ancillary equipment. This product should be installed, commissioned and maintained by, or under the supervision of, competent persons according to good engineering practice and, (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) BS 7671 (IEE wiring regulations for electrical installations) Codes of Practice Statutory requirements Any instructions specifically advised by the manufacturer According to the provisions of the Act you are therefore requested to take such steps as are necessary to ensure that any appropriate information about this product is made available by you to anyone concerned with its use. This equipment is designed to be operated from 230V AC 50/60 Hz mains supplies and is of Class I construction. As such it must be connected to a protective earthing conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation. Failure to ensure that all conductive accessible parts of this equipment are adequately bonded to the protective earth will render the equipment unsafe. ! This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and technically competent person. THIS IS A PIECE OF CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED These panels are designed to comply with the requirements of EN 54 part 2. Installation of the panel should only be carried out by qualified personnel. The electronic components within the panel can be damaged by static charge. Suitable precautions must be taken when handling circuit boards. Never insert or remove boards or components, or connect cables, with the mains power on or batteries connected. Equipment Guarantee This equipment is not guaranteed unless the complete system is installed and commissioned in accordance with the laid down national standards by an approved and competent person or organisation. This product has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all applicable EU Council Directives Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 14 INSTALLATION ESD PRECAUTION Electronic components are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). An ESD wrist strap, suitably grounded, should be worn at all times when handling pcbs. These wrist straps are designed to prevent the build up of static charges, not only within a persons body, but on many other materials. ESD damage is not always evident immediately, faults can manifest themselves at anytime in the future. All pcbs should be stored in static shielded bags (silvered) for safe keeping, when not mounted in the control panel. GENERAL Care should be taken with regards to avoiding the close proximity of high voltage cables or areas likely to induce electrical interference. Earth links should be maintained on all system cables and grounded in the control panel. The detection and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and must be segregated away from mains voltage. • • • Any junction boxes used should be clearly labelled FIRE ALARM. Any ancillary devices, e.g. door retaining magnets, must be powered from a separate power source. Any coils or solenoids used in the system must be suppressed, to avoid damage to the control equipment. MOUNTING THE CABINET The site chosen for the location of the panel should be clean, dry and not subject to shock or vibration. Damp, salt air or environments where water ingress or extremes of temperature may affect the panel must be avoided. The temperature should be in the range -5° to +40°C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 95%. Before mounting the cabinet remove the main PCB. Remove the power supply module connecting wires from the main PCB, taking care to note where to reconnect them. The main PCB can then be carefully pulled off it’s mounting clips. Secure the cabinet to the wall using the four indented holes in the back box. Ensure the box is mounted level and in a convenient location where it may be easily operated and serviced. External cables should be glanded via preformed knockouts at the top and rear of the cabinet. Remove any knockouts and ensure the cabinet is clear of swarf etc prior to refitting the PCB. Always ensure that if a knockout is removed, the hole is filled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused knockouts must be securely blanked off. Knockouts should be removed with a sharp tap at the rim of the knockout using a flat 6mm broad bladed screwdriver. Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure around the knockout.

L N E V+ The incoming mains supply should be brought into the panel via one of the knockouts provided. V- A rating plate is attached to the power supply module describing the nature of the supply permitted. A suitable cable gland must be used to secure the outer sheath of the cable used. The earth must first be connected to the primary earth stud (peg) marked with a symbol, using the ring crimp provided. Sufficient earth lead should be left to allow Live and Neutral connections to be accidentally pulled from the terminal block while leaving the earth connection intact. Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 16 INSTALLATION CONNECTING THE BATTERIES Batteries of even very small capacity are capable of delivering very high currents which can cause fire or injury, therefore battery connections should be done with caution. The panel is supplied with battery leads already connected to the battery terminals on the main PCB. These leads are coloured red for +ve and black for -ve. 2 x 12v batteries should be connected in series using the white jumper lead provided. See diagram. ON + - 1 2 3 BATTERY To optimise the service life of the batteries, the battery charger output voltage varies with temperature. -ve N.B. In the event of mains failure, the battery charger circuit will protect the batteries from full discharge by disconnecting them when they reach below 19v. When the mains supply is restored the batteries will be automatically reconnected. +ve 12v SLA Battery 12v SLA Battery NOTE: If the mains is connected before the batteries, the panel will show a Power Supply fault for up to 1 minute until the monitoring cylce has finished polling. This is normal. If the fault doesn’t clear after 1 minute, check connections. BATTERY CHARGING VOLTAGE CHECKS The battery charging voltage is factory calibrated to 27.3vdc +/- 0.2v @ 20oC. This should not normally require adjustment. Where battery problems are experienced, the following information should be considered. a) If a battery is disconnected from the charger, no voltage will appear on the output leads or terminals, due to intelligent battery controls. b) Check the power supply voltage at the 28v & 0v supply output terminals. With the batteries disconnected the voltage should be 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v @ between 11oC - 40oC. c) To test the batteries, turn off the mains and see if the system will run on the batteries. Check the battery voltage, should be 26.8v for a good battery or 22v for a flat battery. d) The power supply voltage can be adjusted using the potentiometer on the power supply module (see page 9), checking at the 28v & 0v output terminals with a calibrated volt meter. Batteries should be disconnected and the Access Level 3 DIL switch should be set to ‘ON’ (see page 20), which will over ride the temperature compensation controls. Carefully adjust the voltage to 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v. When completed, switch off Access Level 3 DIL switch and re-connect the batteries. e) When the panel is re-charging a low battery, it should be possible to see the voltage across the batteries increase gradually. If this is not occurring, the batteries or the panel may be faulty. Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 17 SETUP & PROGRAMMING NETWORK PANELS SETUP The system can support up to 8 networked control panels, 1 x Master and up to 7 x Slaves. Comms PCB To run a network, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be fitted to each control panel. Any Excel-EN or Excel-32 panel from 2 to 32 zones with software version 4.0 and above may be used. The Comms PCB fits into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from the display board comms is normally plugged.

See panel wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 10, (Set Number of Network Slave Panels on System). Addressing Each panel needs to have a unique address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on each of the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below. The addresses should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, first slave panel = address 01, second slave panel = address 02 etc. The Master panel is defined by being address 00 (all switches off).

Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 19 SETUP & PROGRAMMING TWIN WIRE MODE What is Twin Wire? Twin Wire is what is often referred to as sav wire. The technology enables sounders and beacons to be connected to the same circuit as the detectors and call points. This can result in greatly reduced installation time and cost. How does it work? In Twin Wire configuration the fire zone circuits reverse polarity in alarm condition to power the sounders and beacons. For this reason the sounders and beacons need to be wired in opposite polarity to the detectors and call points, i.e. zone positive wire connects to detector base and call point positive terminals but sounder and beacon negative terminals. Zone +ve + + + + 4K7 EOL Resistor Zone -ve - - - - Twin Wire systems require special ‘sav-wire’ detector bases and polarised call points but standard sounders. Most modern, non addressable, low current, polarised sounders, bells and beacons are compatible, Cooper Fulleon, Besson, Klaxon etc. To set Twin Wire mode for zones 1-4 on the main circuit board, move switches 1-4 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the ‘ON’ position. 1 SNDR2 + - ZONE1 ZONE2 ZONE3 ZONE4 + - + - + - + - ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Each zone can be independantly set to Twin Wire, switch 1 relating to zone 1 etc. ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 To set Twin Wire mode for zones A-D on the zone extension circuit boards, move switches A-D on the 4 way DIL switch located on the zone card to the ‘ON’ position.

Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 35 SETUP & PROGRAMMING DEPENDENCY MODES (FALSE ALARM MANAGEMENT) Dependency modes are features described in EN54-2 for the processing of confirmation alarms. It is a requirement by some monitoring stations and local fire authoities in order to reduce the possibility of false alarms. The panel has 3 dependency mode options, A, B & C. Only one type can be applied to the panel but any or all zones can be independently set for dependency mode. Dependency mode, if assigned to a zone, is set to type A by default. Dependency ‘A’ will apply the following sequence: 1. The first detector alarm is inhibited. 2. The panel resets and re-checks the inhibited zone within 15-30 seconds. 3. If an alarm is detected then the panel activates a full fire condition. 4. If no alarm is detected, the panel stays in an alert condition for 30 minutes. Any new alarm from the same zone within this time activates a full fire condition. 5. After 30 minutes or if RESET, the panel reverts to step 1. Note: 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call points should be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm. A 470Ω call point will be included in the dependency delay sequence. Dependency ‘B’ will apply the following sequence: 1. The first detector alarm will indicate at the control panel but not activate the sounders. 2. The panel resets and re-checks the inhibited zone within 1 - 4 minutes (programmable, see code 2-1-3-4) 1. 3. If an alarm is detected then the panel activates a full fire condition. 4. If no alarm is detected, the panel stays in an alert condition for 5 - 30 minutes (programmable, see code 2-1-3-4) 2. Any new alarm from the same or a different zone within this time activates a full fire condition. 5. After the time set above or if RESET, the panel reverts to step 1. Note: 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call points should be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm. A 470Ω call point will be included in the dependency delay sequence. Dependency ‘C’ will apply the following sequence: 1. The first detector or 470Ω call point alarm will indicate at the control panel but not activate the sounders. 2. The panel will not activate a full fire condition unless a second detector or 470Ω call point is activated in the same or any other zone. Note: A 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call point can be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm.

Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 50 ENTER SETUP & PROGRAMMING 3 1 1 4 System Diagnostics Mode System faults can occur if a PCB in the control panel or one of the repeater panels stops working. This may be due to a fault condition, loss of power, software lockup or memory checksum error. A system fault can also occur if the internal PCB configuration or number of repeater panels has not been correctly set up in the panel wide programming options (2-1-2-3). If the fault originates from the control panel’s main PCB then no further interrogation is possible and the circuit board should be restored or replaced urgently. The above code has been provided as a quick diagnosis tool to show which additional PCBs, repeater or network slave panels the control panel thinks it should have according to the programming set up, Vs, the actual PCBs and repeater/network panels it can see via it’s internal monitoring capacity. Enter the above code and press ENTER. The control panel will illuminate LEDs to show the set up. The red, fire LEDs indicate the configuration setting. The amber, fault LEDs indicate the presence of the PCBs, repeaters or network slave panels which the control panel thinks it should have according to the programming set up. See table below.

The LEDs will display for 10 seconds and then the panel will automatically exit the diagnosis mode. Pressing button 2 will reveal the origin of a system fault indication. Note: After power up, the system should be allowed to initialise for 2 - 3 minutes before using this code otherwise false indications could occur. If in doubt, re-enter the code a second time to check. Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 51 SETUP & PROGRAMMING REPEATER PANEL SETUP & PROGRAMMING The panel can support up to 8, fully functional repeater panels on the network which can be either the 12 way repeater panels or Remote Display Units or a combination of both. N.B. The 12 way repeater panel will only display the first 12 zones of any network system. Repeater Comms PCB To run repeaters, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be fitted to the control panel. The repeater panels are supplied with the comms board fitted. The Comms PCB fits into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from the display board is normally plugged. To fit the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead. A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.

The repeater panels have 2 inputs located on the main circuit board, Class Change (CC) and Alert (PUL). Switching a negative voltage into these inputs will cause the alarm sounders to operate. The Class Change input (CC) will cause the alarms to sound continously and the Alert input (PUL) will cause the alarms to pulse. There are also 6 switch -ve outputs located on the Comms PCB. By default o/p 1 is set to activate on common fire and o/p 2 is set to activate for common fault. There are 4 programming options available for the inputs and outputs in the repeater panels. • • • • Outputs 1 - 6 activate on common fire Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 1 - 6 Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 7 - 12 Change inputs CC & PUL to power supply fault inputs. It is also possible in this programming mode to disable the controls on repeater panels, making them passive instead of active and to disable the battery monitoring on the repeater panel if no battery backup is required.

Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 59 SERVICE & MAINTENANCE The following section is a summary of the requirements in BS5839 Part 1 For comprehensive information a copy of BS5839 Part 1 can be purchased from the British Standards Institution via their web site at www.bsi-global.com. THE NEED FOR MAINTENANCE Your Fire Alarm System is working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The detectors and control & indicating panel are operating continuously and the fire alarm circuits are constantly monitored. Legislation such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and other legislation protecting both employees and the public require premises operators to conform with standards for Fire Alarm Systems. It is a requirement of BS 5839 Part 1 that the system is subject to periodic inspection and servicing so that faults are identified, preventive measures can be taken to ensure the continued reliability of the system, false alarm problems are identified and suitably addressed, and the user is made aware of any changes to the building that affect the protection afforded by the system. The inspection and servicing recommendations in this clause should be carried out by a competent person. A ‘Competent Person’ is a person or fire alarm servicing organisation with specialist knowledge of fire detection and fire alarm systems, including knowledge of the causes of false alarms, sufficient information regarding the system, and adequate access to spares. The period between successive inspection and servicing visits should be based upon a risk assessment, taking into account the type of system installed, the environment in which it operates and other factors that may affect the long term operation of the system. The recommended period between successive inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. If this recommendation is not implemented, it should be considered that the system is no longer compliant with this part of BS 5839 DUTIES OF THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON The system user needs to appoint a single, named member of the premises management to supervise all matters pertaining to the fire detection and fire alarm system. The role of this person is to ensure that the system is tested and maintained in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1, that appropriate records are kept and that relevant occupants in the protected premises are aware of their roles and responsibilities in connection with the fire detection and fire alarm system. This person also needs to ensure that necessary steps are taken to avoid situations that are detrimental to the standard of protection afforded by the system and to ensure that the level of false alarms is minimized. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & TESTING DAILY The ‘Responsible Person’ should check the control panel to make sure no faults or pre-alarm conditions are indicated and that the green ‘Supply Healthy’ lamp is lit. WEEKLY The Fire Alarm System should be tested on a weekly basis as recommended in BS5839 Part 1 clause 44.2. Every week a manual call point should be operated during normal working hours. The weekly test should be carried out at approximately the same time each week. Instructions to the occupants should be that they report any instance of poor audibility of the fire alarm signal. A different manual call point should be used at the time of every weekly test so that all manual call points in the building are tested in rotation over a prolonged period. The result of the weekly test and the identity or location of the manual call point used should be recorded in the system log book. Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 60 SERVICE & MAINTENANCE WEEKLY TEST The call point test key should be inserted firmly and deliberately into the bottom of the manual call point. Once activated it may be necessary to wait up to four seconds before the alarms sound. Your manual call points may not be the same as the ones described above. If not please refer to your service and maintenance company for instructions. Note: Before testing the fire alarm system it may be necessary to isolate ancillary outputs. It is essential that any alarm receiving centre is contacted immediately before and immediately after, the weekly test to ensure that unwanted alarms are avoided and that fire alarm signals are correctly received at the alarm receiving centre. PERIODIC INSPECTION & SERVICING Inspection & servicing should only be carried out by a ‘Competent Person’ who has sufficient knowledge to check the whole system. This would normally be a qualified electrical contractor or fire alarm specialist. Inspection & servicing visits are normally conducted on a quarterly basis unless such factors as a dirty environment warrant servicing on a more regular basis. The maximum period between inspections must not exceed six months. Recommendations of BS5839-1 for periodic service visits include: • • • • • Every device on the system should be tested annually. The testing of each device can be split between periodic visits but with a minimum of one detector or call point tested on each circuit, per visit. On each visit the ‘Competent Person’ should check the record of false alarms. Any persistent occurrence should be investigated and corrective action taken as appropriate. Battery and connections should be examined and load tested to check serviceable condition and that they are not likely to fail before the next service visit. All other devices and control & indicating equipment should be checked for correct operation and any faults should be recorded and rectified. Details of the service visit must be recorded in the log book EVERY FOUR YEARS Renew the sealed lead acid batteries and record the fact in the log book Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 61 SCHEDULE OF TESTING This Section To Be Used To Record ALL Weekly Tests Of The Fire Alarm System DDATE & TIME OF TEST DEVICE TESTED & LOCATION COMMENTS (IF ANY) Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual INITIALS OF TESTER Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 62 SCHEDULE OF TESTING This Section To Be Used To Record ALL Weekly Tests Of The Fire Alarm System DDATE & TIME OF TEST DEVICE TESTED & LOCATION COMMENTS (IF ANY) Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual INITIALS OF TESTER Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 63 SCHEDULE OF TESTING This Section To Be Used To Record ALL Weekly Tests Of The Fire Alarm System DDATE & TIME OF TEST DEVICE TESTED & LOCATION COMMENTS (IF ANY) Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual INITIALS OF TESTER Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 64 SCHEDULE OF TESTING This Section To Be Used To Record ALL Weekly Tests Of The Fire Alarm System DDATE & TIME OF TEST DEVICE TESTED & LOCATION COMMENTS (IF ANY) Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual INITIALS OF TESTER Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 65 FALSE ALARMS, FAULTS & ENGINEERS VISITS Fault/Reason For Call-Out Action Taken Date Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Work Completed Engineer’s Details Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 66 FALSE ALARMS, FAULTS & ENGINEERS VISITS Fault/Reason For Call-Out Action Taken Date Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Work Completed Engineer’s Details Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 67 FALSE ALARMS, FAULTS & ENGINEERS VISITS Fault/Reason For Call-Out Action Taken Date Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Work Completed Engineer’s Details Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0 68 USER INSTRUCTIONS If an alarm condition is present YOU MUST FOLLOW YOUR NORMAL FIRE DRILL PROCEDURES. Tear Here A responsible person should then:1. Check the control panel to see which area or zone has caused the system to go into alarm. This will be indicated by a pulsing red LED on the front of the control panel. 2. Go to the area which has caused the alarm to check if a fire exists. 3. Only when it is safe to do so should the alarms be silenced. Activate the controls by turning the key switch or by entering the four digit code (see Activate Controls in the OPERATING section) and press the (blue) SILENCE ALARMS button (fig 1). To sound the alarms again press the (red) RESOUND button (fig 2). 4. In the event of a false alarm look for the device that has caused the alarm. A detector will have a red LED lit, or check to see if a call point glass is broken (if so replace the glass or call an engineer). 5. When fully satisfied that there is no fire, return to the control panel and press the (green) RESET button, (fig 3). The panel display should return to normal and only the green SUPPLY HEALTHY LED should be lit on the control panel.
