Description of the control keys
+ Test, Silence Buzzer and Evacuate Control keys

ONLY can be activated without PIN (access level
L1), all the others Control keys can be activated
with PIN (access level L2 and L3).
Silence The Silence key is used to restore the

Silenceable outputs to standby status.
If the Control panel is operating in Night Mode, Silence
remains active until the programmed Night mode Si-
lence time expires, or in Day Mode until the Silence
key is pressed again. In both modes, Silence is auto-
matically cancelled whenever a new Alarm condition is
detected.
Reset The Reset key is enabled only at Level L2 (PIN)

as the fire panel returns to the Stand-by status after the
Alarm, Delay to Alarm, Warning and FAULT conditions
stop.At the end of the Reset time, the system will repro-
cess any alarm, delay to alarm, warning or fault signal
which is not cleared by RESET operations.
+ When RESET is running, the command keys can-

not be used.

table 3 describes how the Control panel LEDs operate.

During standby status, ONLY the GREEN Mains LED

KEY DESCRIPTION
SILENCE/ This key restores the Silenceable outputs and the Loop devices to standby status. Si-
RESOUND lence status hold until the Silence key is pressed again in Day Mode, or if the Control
SOUNDERS panel is operating in Night Mode, until the Night mode Silence time expires or until a
new Alarm/Trouble condition is detected.
RESET This key resets the Fire detectors and restores all outputs to standby status.
INVESTIGATION This key refreshes the “Delay to Alarm Time”: If this key is pressed during “Delay to
DELAY Alarm”, the remaining Delay to Alarm time is increased with the programmed "Investi-
gation delay".
EVAC This key activates the evacuation. If this key is pressed, the system generates an
alarm.
SILENCE This key silences the local buzzer of the control panel. The buzzer will operate every
BUZZER time a new event is activated.
LAMP This key tests the buzzer and LEDs. If this key is pressed (when the Control panel is
TEST functioning as intended), all LEDs glow and the buzzer emits a continuous beep.
Table 2 Description of the control keys (Panel).

LED DESCRIPTION
FIRE Glowing indicates Alarm status. In the event of an Alarm, the Control panel activates
(Red) the unbypassed alarm outputs.
GENERAL FAULT Glowing indicates the presence of a Fault. The following LEDs or the screen on the di-
(Amber) splay indicates the type of Fault.
Slow blinking indicates a fault event in memory (Reset turns OFF).
SYSTEM FAULT Glowing indicates a blocked Control Panel. IMPORTANT: Maintenance required.
(Amber) Slow blinking indicates the Control Panel restart.
Fast blinking indicates that the data panel programming is corrupted.
NOTE – When the Control panel is switched on for the first time, this LED blinks until a
Reset has been performed.
FIRE SIGNAL Glowing indicates the communicator has been disabled.
FAULT (Amber) Slow blinking indicates that the communicator has broken down.
POWER SUPPLY Glowing indicates Mains failure (110/230 V).
FAULT (Amber) Fast blinking indicates Switching Power supply fault.
During this condition,the Control panel will be powered by the batteries.
EARTH FAULT Glowing indicates a Voltage leakage to Earth.
(Amber) IMPORTANT: Check wiring insulation.
BATTERY Glowing indicates that the batteries empty or faulty. If this condition persists, the bat-
TROUBLE teries will be unable to function as intended in the event of blackout.
(Amber) IMPORTANT: New batteries are required.
POWER ON Glowing indicates that the panel is supplied with power.
(Green) OFF indicates Mains failure (both mains & battery power is lost) (Battery disconnect
threshold: 19.2 V). Power must be restored before the batteries reach the disconnect
threshold.
MORE INFO Glowing indicates that there is hidden information with lower priority. Access the
(Amber) page View List to show the hidden information.
OFF indicates No hidden information is available.
SOUNDERS Glowing indicates that the Silenceable outputs and Loop device have been forced to
SILENCED standby by means of the SILENCE/RESOUND SOUNDERS key.In Day Mode, the Si-
(Amber) lence status will be held until the SILENCE/RESOUND SOUNDER key is pressed
again. In Night Mode, the Silence status will be held until the Night mode Silence time
expires or until a new Alarm/Trouble condition is detected.
FIRE SIGNAL ON Glowing indicates that the transmission was successful. Slow Blinking indicates that
(Red) the transmission is in progress. On the control panel screen, the connection type is
displayed.
SOUNDERS Glowing indicates that the SC1 Output is disabled or outputs configured to "act as
FAULTS/DIS SC1" are disabled. Slow blinking indicates that the SC1 is in fault or outputs configu-
red to "act as SC1" are in fault. OFF indicates all the main sounder outputs (EN54-1,
TYPE "C" outputs) function properly.
DISABLED Glowing indicates the Disabled status of any bypassable entity.
TEST Glowing indicates Test conditions on at least one zone.
DAY MODE Glowing indicates that the Control panel is operating in DAY MODE.
OFF indicates that the Control panel is operating in NIGHT MODE.
1-8 SOFTWARE ZONES Glowing indicates that the corresponding Software zones are in Alarm status.
RED Slow Blinking indicates that the corresponding Software zones are in Delay to Alarm
status.
N/D CONTROLS ON Glowing indicates that the Control Panel is at least at level 2 so the Silence/Reso-
(AMBER) und Sounders, Reset and Investigation Delay Keys are enabled.

Maintenance
To ensure that the system operates normally, it must be

maintained with regular testing by the user and periodic
maintenance by the installer in accordance with local
laws.
+ For the maintenance of other devices such as de-

tectors, modules etc., follow the dedicated instruc-
tions for the devices.
The following operations must be carried out regularly:
A Using a damp cloth (DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OF

ANY KIND), remove dust from the Control panel cabi-
net.
B Using the Lamp Test key, check that the LEDs and
buzzer are functioning properly.
C Ensure that the batteries are sufficiently charged and

functioning properly. If not, replace them immediately.
D Ensure that all cables and connections are intact.
E Ensure that there are no unrelated objects inside the

Control panel case.
F Ensure that the control panel is capable of process-

ing a fire alarm and operating the relevant sounders
and/or outputs in consequence of this alarm. If there is a
facility for transmission of fire alarm signals to a Central
Station, ensure that the signal is correctly received.
G Verify the actual functionality of the circuit for the de-

tection of earth fault. The procedure is as follows:con-
nect one of the SH terminals of the loop to the ground:
Ø verify that the fault is reported correctly by the Fire

Panel.
Ø remove the connection previously made.

Points C, D, E, F and G must be carried out by qualified
persons only.

detector, by adding the suffix S or R to the above classes. Detectors, with a suffix S to their class, do not respond below the
minimum static response temperature, even at high rates of rise of air temperature. Detectors, with a suffix R to their class,
incorporate a rate of rise characteristic, which meets the response time requirements for high rates of rise of air temperatu-

Detector of high performance, of smoke, temperature

and CO. The use of the three elements of the sensor, in
synergy, allows to determine with accuracy the presence
of all types of fires and at the same time having an excep-

The functionalities of the Triple Sensor are: self-moni-
toring, self-testing, status indicator, remote LED and
threshold compensation. The Triple Sensor is compati-
ble with the existing bases.

Sounder Base and Sndr/Beacon Base
The Sounder Base and Sndr/Beacon Base are de-

signed to be driven from an Simplex control panel via
the addressable loop.
Tone, volume and flash rates are set in SX Console.
The sounder has four volume settings ‘High’ (90dB ±3),
‘Mid High’ (80 ±3dB), ‘Mid Low’ (70 ±3dB)or ‘Low’ (60dB
±3). The beacon has two flash rates ‘Slow Flash’
(1/2Hz) or ‘Fast Flash’ (1Hz). The Sounder Base and
Sndr/Beacon Base have a built-in line isolator.
