- Napajalni priključek: Connect the 120V AC power supply to the designated terminals. Ensure the power source is protected by a dedicated circuit breaker.
- Priključek baterije: Connect the standby batteries to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity.
- Initiating Device Circuits (Zones): Connect fire alarm initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations) to the respective zone terminals. Each zone requires an End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR).
- Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs): Connect audible and visual notification appliances (horns, strobes) to the NAC terminals. Observe polarity and ensure EOLRs are installed.
- DACT Connection: Connect the DACT to a dedicated telephone line for communication with the central monitoring station.
- Auxiliary Relays: If applicable, connect auxiliary devices to the programmable relay outputs.
4.4 Začetni vklop
- Preden priključite napajanje, dvakrat preverite vse ožičenja glede pravilnosti in varnosti.
- Apply AC power to the panel. The AC POWER indicator should illuminate.
- Priključite rezervne baterije.
- The panel will perform a self-test. Any troubles will be indicated.
5. Navodila za uporabo
5.1 Običajno delovanje
In normal operation, the green AC POWER indicator is illuminated. All other indicators should be off, and the system should be free of trouble conditions.
5.2 Alarmni pogoji
When an initiating device activates (e.g., smoke detector detects smoke), the following occurs:
- The ALARM indicator illuminates.
- The specific ZONE ALARM indicator illuminates.
- Notification appliances (horns/strobes) activate.
- The DACT transmits an alarm signal to the central monitoring station.
5.3 Acknowledging an Alarm
Pritisnite PRIZNANJE button to silence the panel's internal buzzer and acknowledge the alarm. Notification appliances will continue to operate until silenced.
5.4 Silencing Notification Appliances
Pritisnite TIŠINA button to turn off the horns and strobes. The ALARM indicator will remain illuminated until the system is reset.
5.5 Ponastavitev sistema
After the alarm condition has been cleared and notification appliances are silenced, press the PONASTAVI button. The panel will attempt to reset all initiating devices and return to normal operation. If the alarm condition persists, the system will re-alarm.
5.6 Trouble Conditions
A trouble condition indicates a fault in the system (e.g., open circuit, short circuit, ground fault, low battery). When a trouble occurs:
- The TROUBLE indicator illuminates.
- The specific ZONE TROUBLE or SYSTEM TROUBLE indicator illuminates.
- The panel's internal buzzer activates.
Pritisnite PRIZNANJE button to silence the internal buzzer. Investigate and resolve the cause of the trouble. Once the trouble is cleared, the TROUBLE indicator will extinguish automatically.
6. Vzdrževanje
Regular maintenance is crucial for the reliable operation of your fire alarm system. Refer to NFPA 72 for detailed inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements.
6.1 Daily/Weekly Checks
- Verify the AC POWER indicator is illuminated.
- Check for any illuminated trouble indicators.
6.2 Mesečni pregledi
- Test all initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations) for proper operation.
- Test all notification appliances (horns, strobes).
- Test the DACT communication to the central monitoring station.
6.3 Letni pregledi
- Perform a comprehensive system test, including all devices and functions.
- Inspect all wiring for damage or loose connections.
- Test standby batteries under load to ensure they can provide adequate power during an AC power failure. Replace batteries every 3-5 years or as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Clean the interior of the panel and detectors as necessary.
