There is no need to open the panel s enclosure except to carry out commissioning,maintenance and remedial work.

3 This work must only be carried out by competent service personnel whoare fully conversant with the contents of the panel s separate engineering MANUAL and have thenecessary skills for maintaining this the enclosure is damaged in any way, expert advice should be sought regarding its servicing of the fire alarm system is highly recommended, preferably on a continuousmaintenance contract and by a competent organisation. A fully-itemised report of the installation shouldbe obtained at least responsibility can be accepted by the manufacturer or distributors of this fire alarm panel for anymisinterpretation of an instruction or guidance note or for the compliance of the system as a manufacturer s policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to makechanges to product specifications at our discretion and without prior notice.

To aid this function, fire alarm systems are usually split into zones, each covering adifferent area of a an alarm has been raised, the panel responds by indicating the zone(s) in which the alarm hasoccurred and activating all relevant outputs (sounders, bells, strobes, beacons, relays, etc.)

5 To providea warning of the XFP fire alarm control panelThe XFP is an intelligent addressable fire alarm panel designed to work with a wide range ofintelligent fire detection devices. As such, it is able to provide much more detailed information abouta fire condition than just the number of the activated well as giving prioritised feedback on the status of the system , its easy-to-read 80-character displaywill indicate the name and location of every detector that has responded to a fire and also show theorder in which they went into will also display detailed information on any pre-alarm and/or fault conditions that arise and can beprogrammed to operate in a number of different ways to help reduce the incidence of false alarmsand to encourage the orderly evacuation of a building in a true fire are available that will allow authorised users to silence or reset a fire condition, to disable orenable parts of the system to suit prevailing conditions, to change the time the system enters day(building occupied) and night (building unoccupied)

6 Mode and to test the panel s indicators and liquidcrystal display to ensure they are working of these functions - and more - are explained in detail in this user overview of the panel s access levelsThree access levels are available at the panel - access level 1 (general user ), access level 2 (authoriseduser) and access level 3 (engineer).Access level 1 is the normal user level which is accessible to everyone. At this level you can: Scroll through any fire , pre-alarm and fault conditions that are displayed on the panel s display View any disablements or zones that are being tested (if applicable) Test the panel s lamps (its LED indicators and display) to ensure they are working correctly Determine the total number of times the panel has been in a fire condition Gain entry to access level 2 (authorised user level) and, if you are an engineer, access level level 2 is the authorised user level which is available to authorised, trained personnel to this level is achieved by either, the input of a special four-digit code using the panel spushbuttons, or by turning the panel s keyswitch to the armed position (I).

7 At access level 2, the panel s Silence, Reset and Investigate buttons become active and users are able to: Scroll through any fire , pre-alarm or fault conditions that are displayed on the panel s display View any disablements or zones that are being tested (if applicable) Enable or disable zones, sounders, outputs, relays and devices (as appropriate) Print, display and/or reset the panel s event history Set the time and date Change the entry code to access level 2 from its factory level 3 is the panel s engineering/programming level. On no account should access level 3 beaccessed by anyone but an authorised system engineer. A fire panel is a piece of life safety equipment andunauthorised access may affect the way the panel functions, endanger life and void its warranty. If youare an authorised engineer, details of access level 3 can be found in the separate Engineering RESPONSIBILITIESBS5839-1 is the British Standard code of practice for the design , installation, commissioning andmaintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings.

8 Section 7 of the standard (UserResponsibilities) states that a named responsible person should be appointed to supervise all matterspertaining to the fire alarm system {clause }.Highlighted below is a summary of the main functions the responsible person is expected to carry outwith regard to bs5839 -1 only. It does not highlight any other responsibilities that may be required ofthe user or responsible person that are listed in documentation such as the Employers Guide to FireSafety, the fire Precautions (Workplace) regulations and/or any other legislation relevant to thepremises. If in doubt, the fire authority can advise on the fire legislation that applies to any givenbuilding. For countries outside the UK, different user responsibilities may states the responsible person should: (The bracketed numbers {xx} identify the bs5839 -1 clauses to which the summary refers.)

9 1 Ensure the fire alarm panel is checked daily to confirm there are no faults on the system { }2 Ensure arrangements are in place for the test, maintenance and regular servicing of the system withregard to Section 6 of the standard { }. Important: Clause 44 of bs5839 -1 recommends weekly andmonthly tests that should be carried out by the responsible person. See below for the fire Alarm Log Book is kept up to date by recording fire signals, fault signals, work on thesystem, etc., and make sure it is available for inspection at all times { / 48}4 Ensure all relevant occupants of the premises are instructed in the proper use of the system { }5 Take steps to limit the number of false alarms on the system {47f}6 Ensure the effectiveness of the system is not impaired by ensuring there is a space of at least 500mm in alldirections around and below every fire detector and that all MANUAL call points are unobstructed and easyto see {47g}7 Liaise with all relevant building engineers, decorators, etc.

10 , to ensure any changes to (or maintenance of),the building s fabric does not compromise the protection given by the fire alarm system , create faults or falsealarms {47h}8 Ensure that any structural or occupancy changes planned for the building are done so with due and earlyconsideration given to any changes that may be required to the fire system {47h}9 Ensure that a selection of spare parts are held as appropriate within the premises {47j}Routine weekly and monthly testing to be undertaken by the user /responsible personTo meet the requirements of Clause 44 of bs5839 -1 we recommend the following tests are carried out atapproximately the same time each week, during normal working hours:Note: It is essential any alarm receiving centre is contacted before and after these tests to avoid unwantedalarms and to confirm the fire signal is correctly received. Carry out an Indicator lamp test to check all zone lights show and the beeper sounds.
