1.5 PCB Removal / Replacement
If the PCB’s have to be removed the following precautions should be observed;
1. Removing the door will provide better access to the boards and ensure the hinges are not
accidentally stressed.
2. Personal anti- static procedures must be followed.
3. When disconnecting the telecom style connecting cable from the PCB, make sure that the
cable remains connected to at least one board to prevent it being misplaced.
Note: Care should be taken when detaching this connector as it is necessary to depress the small
locking tab to unlock the connector from its base. To reconnect the cable the connector must first be
correctly aligned then pushed into the socket so it locks into position.

1Hz for alarm indications ( 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off )
0.5Hz for fault indications ( 1 second on and 1 second off )
FIRE
Red The common Alarm indicator will be flashing when an alarm condition is
present. The indicator will become steady when the acknowledge control is pressed
Any new alarm condition recognised at the FACP will cause the indicator to resume flashing.
FAULT
Yellow The fault indicator is illuminated steady by the presence of any fault. Refer
to the FACP manual for details on fault conditions.
DISABLED
Yellow The disabled indicator is illuminated steady by the presence of any isolate
condition on any zone, device or output.
ALARMS STATUS
Yellow Illuminated flashing at the fault rate by an open or short circuit condition
on the FACP bell output.
Indicator will extinguish when the open or short condition has cleared.
FIRE OUTPUT STATUS
Yellow Illuminated flashing at the fault rate by an open or short circuit condition
on the FACP warning system output.
Indicator will extinguish when the open or short circuit has cleared
TEST
Yellow Illuminated flashing at the fault rate by an open or short circuit condition
on the FACP ACF output.
Indicator will extinguish when the open or short condition has cleared
When the ACF output is isolated, then the indicator will be illuminated steady.
Display priority: Isolate (steady) then fault (flash)
DELAY ACTIVE
Yellow Illuminated flashing at the fault rate by an open or short circuit condition
on the FACP ASE output.
Indicator will extinguish when the open or short condition has cleared.
POWER
Green The indicator is illuminated steady when the FACP is supplied with power
(mains or battery) and flashes at the fault rate when there is a fault with the power supply

equipment. A fault can be no mains, high charger voltage, no charger voltage, low battery voltage or
missing (or damaged) battery.
FAULT / DISABLED
FIRE
Zone Indicators
There are two indicators for each of the eight zones.
Zone Fire–Red (x8) Each indicator will show if the individual zone it represents is in the fire condition
(flashing at the alarm rate and then steady when the acknowledge control has been operated at the
FACP).
Zone Indicators Fault / Disabled –Yellow (x8) Each indicator will show if the individual zone it
represents is in a fault condition (flashing at the fault rate, disablement of the zone will change the
LED condition to steady). Note: The isolate condition has priority.
