1. FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL SAFETY ISSUES
There is no need to open this fire alarm during normal operation. Any work carried out on this system must be performed by a competent person who is familiar with this type of system. This equipment will operate safely provided it has been installed correctly in compliance with the Installation Manual. It is recommended that the system is serviced frequently. It is customary to arrange a regular maintenance contract with a competent organisation. (Ask the installation company for recommendations). The system needs a thorough maintenance check annually at the very minimum.
If any part of this Fire Alarm Control Panel becomes damaged, contact the company responsible for system maintenance to arrange repair / replacement.
European Union Directives Conformance
Statement, This product has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all applicable EU Council Directives.
2. THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
A Fire Alarm System is used to provide an early warning of a fire, so that the property can be evacuated and the fire extinguished if it can be safely tackled, or the local fire brigade called, according to the company evacuation procedure. Alarms can come from Smoke or
Heat Detectors, or manually be a person operating a Manual Call Point. Split the system into
Zones, each covering a different area of a building. This will indicate which area of the system is giving the alarm (or fault).During an alarm; the panel will start its sounders, and indicate which zone has the fire. It will also activate its auxiliary relay.
Fault Monitoring
All circuits must be checked for line integrity. If a part of the system has a problem which may affect its operation, a fault warning must be given by the fire alarm panel (LED & buzzer indication). The fault will not be activated.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems /
Fire Alarm System
Maintenance Guide & Log Book
Disablements
An engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active
(e.g. extending a detection zone). During such circumstances, it would be advisable to disable that zone, so that it will not give false alarms. Similarly you may wish to disable a zone that has a fault that has not been fixed, or a zone covering an area with a temporary unusual environment, such as an area which is dusty because of construction work etc.
Power Supply Equipment - General Description
The F-A16L is composed of two parts, Electricity (AC220V) and lead-acid batteries. Under normal circumstances the power of the product offered by Electricity (AC220V). When power is cut, the standby battery (lead-acid batteries) is enabled.meanwhile, the products will make the corresponding instructions and the buzzer will also sound. At this point you can press the mute button as long as the product can still work properly. Note: When the batteries is installed you should switch on Electricity (AC220V) fist, this will prevent a spark occurring.

5. THE FIRE CONDITION
5.1 HOW THE F-A16L INDICATES AN ALARM
When the F-A16L Fire Alarm Panel is set into alarm: LED will show that which zone is alarm.
Then the ALARM LED in the alarm panel will light. ALARM LED which corresponds to the area of fire will glimmer .The internal buzzer will sound, warning sounder and output equipment assisted will be started.
5.2 TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SOUNDERS
Turn the key switch to the “CONTROLS ENABLED” position, make controller quiet sound according to press “SILENCE”, shut off the warning generator of outside according to press “STOP-START”. But the LED is in charge of still revealing the area that calls the police, red “ALARM” LED on the panel still keeps on, red “ALARM” LED in the area of alarm still glimmers continuously, the fire insurance relay assisted will be in the state of activating.
5.3 A SECOND ALARM SIGNAL FROM A NEW DETECTION ZONE
If another detection Zone is activated then the Alarm Sounders which have been silenced will activated again. LED “CURRENT ALERT” will show the alarm zone and the LED “ALERT
MEMORY” will shows the area zone this and last time by turns. In addition red “ALARM”
LED of the new warning area glimmers; originally fire zone is keep previous condition.
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP
(I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING)
With the control key in “CONTROLS ENABLED” position, momentarily pressing the
Start-Stop will cause the Alarm sounders to sound. Pressing the Start-Stop button again will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
5.5 RESETTING THE PANEL
Check the cause of the alarm activation. If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation
(e.g. cooking smoke), the smoke will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can be reset. Reset the panel by pressing the reset after the sounders and panel buzzer have been silenced.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems /
Fire Alarm System
Maintenance Guide & Log Book
If the call point is still active, or the detector is still smoky, this will cause another alarm straight after the panel is reset, so will set off alarm bells again.
6. THE FAULT CONDITION
6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT
If a fault occurs, the responsible person should:
Turn key switch to “CONTROLS ENABLED” and press “SILENCE” button to silence the fault buzzer.
Write down the fault (s) in the Log Book at the back of this Manual. Take appropriate action to correct the fault (Usually by contacting the service engineer) On the F-A16L panel, the fault indications (except system fault) are non latching. That is, when the fault has been cleared, the fault indication will turn off. When all faults have been cleared, the panel will return to its quiescent (normal) condition. When a fault has been rectified the indicator light for that Fault is automatically turned off. If all Faults are cleared, the General Fault light will go out and the Panel’s Internal Sounder will be silent (if not already muted).
7. DISABLEMENTS
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For example, if there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for example, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards. During a disablement of a zone(s), no fire or fault signal will be processed for that zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm state can be disabled, that is zones already in fire cannot be disabled. External sounders can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
