1.1 4100U Basic Operations
The Fire Panel display consists of two sections – the
Operator Interface (upper section) and the Zone Isolate
pushbutton switches & indicators (lower section). Fire
detectors are grouped into zones (searchable grouped
areas). Zones can be Isolated by pressing the zone’s
isolate pushbutton on the panel – this prevents an alarm
in that group from activating the panel outputs. When a
non-isolated detector detects an alarm, the fire panel
rings the bell, calls the fire brigade, and activates the
Warning or Evacuation System along with any other
programmed functions (site specific).
The Operator Interface indicates common Alarm, Fault
& Isolation Status on LEDs, and point (detector) status
on the LCD. When an Alarm, Fault or Isolation occurs,
the buzzer will operate until the corresponding
‘Acknowledge’ (e.g. Fire Alarm Ack) key is pressed.
The panel is reset by pressing ‘System Reset.’ If the
alarm won’t reset the point may still be activated (i.e. detector is still in alarm). Press ‘Fire
Alarm Ack’ when the point alarm is displayed, then press ‘Disable,’ ‘Enter.’ Press ‘Fault
Ack’ (to acknowledge the fault caused by disabling a point), then press SYSTEM RESET
again. The disabled detector must be re-enabled when the condition is cleared.
