DISABLEMENTS

Certain fire alarm panel functions can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit certain conditions. For

xample, if there is a risk of a false alarm in a zone, e.g. from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is

possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and enable it again afterwards. Another

example is the disablement of outputs during a routine test or temporary fault.

he following is a list of options that may be disabled by a level two user at the fire alarm panel and the effect

their disablement will have on how the system works:

To disable or enable any of the above options:

1. Put the fire alarm panel into access level two (see Authorised User Controls - page 6).

2. Start the selection process by pressing and holding the Next Option button for 3 seconds.

The general disablement light will flash and the fault light relating to the first option in the above table will

flash to show it is selected.

If the light flashes at a slower rate than the general disablement light, the option is enabled.

If the light flashes at the same rate as the general disablement light, the option is disabled.

3. If necessary, press the Enable/Disable button to toggle the selected option between disabled and enabled.

4. To confirm your choice, press the Next Option button.

This will move the selection process on to the next available option in the above table and the fault light

relating to this new option will flash to show it is selected. The previous option’s fault light will now be lit

steady to confirm it is disabled or switched off to confirm it is enabled.

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for every available option until the selection process is complete.

The disablement/enablement process is complete when all available options have been selected in turn and

the Next Option button is pressed for the last time. At this point all disabled options will be lit steady and all

enabled options will have their lights switched off.

Note: The selection process can be exited at any time by pressing the Exit Access Mode button (code entry

version), or turning the keyswitch to ‘O’ position (keyswitch version). The only changes that will be saved will

be those made prior to the last press of the Next Option button.
