INFINITY 8 USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 5. THE FIRE CONDITION 5.1 HOW THE INFINITY 8 INDICATES AN ALARM When the Infinity 8 Fire Alarm Panel is set into alarm by a Detector or Manual Call Point located in a zone that is not already in alarm it will: - Light the General Fire LED and appropriate Zone Fire LED(s) on the front of its enclosure Sound Internal buzzer Start the Alarm Sounder and Auxiliary output, (provided there is no Delay set on the sounders).

INFINITY 8 USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 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.
INFINITY 8 USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 8. USING SOUNDER DELAYS 8.1 WHAT IS A SOUNDER DELAY In certain circumstances it may be desirable to have a delay between the panel detecting a fire, and starting its external sounders, to allow the responsible person to check the cause of the alarm, to stop building evacuation by an obvious false alarm. If the cause of the Alarm is found to be a true fire hazard, the Delay can be overridden and the Alarm Sounders activated immediately.
INFINITY 8 USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK 9 ZONE TEST 9.1 Why use Zone Test To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance checks, a non-latching ‘One Man Test’ facility is available. When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in test, the alarm sounders operate for approximately 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off.
