2.2 System installation
2.2.1 Unpacking inspection
It is necessary before installation to inspect the on-site equipment. After unpacking the box,
check the goods in it one by one according to the content of the packing list. The main content of
the check should cover the Installation and Operation Manual, the protector tubes, the spare
screws, the control panel key and so on. After checking the above, do necessary inspections for
the appearance of the fire alarm control panel. If any non-conformities are discovered in the check
or inspections, call our salespersons.
2.2.2 Engineering configuration inspection
Inspect whether the contents of the packing list of the control equipment complies with the
engineering configurations and matches with the design drawings or not.
2.2.3 Inspection of the internal configurations and connection condition of the
fire alarm control panel
Do simple routine inspections for the internal configurations of the fire alarm control panel,
such as the number of the interface boards, the number of the manual control panels, the power
-9-

supply connection condition, etc. Meanwhile, inspect whether or not the internal connecting lines
of the equipment suffer falling or abnormalities due to transportation.
2.2.4 Power on self test
If no abnormalities are discovered in the inspections above, do a simple power on self test for
the fire alarm control panel as instructed in 2.4.2 to check whether its power supplies and basic
functions (such as keys, indication function and so on) are normal or not.
2.2.5 Inspection and connection of external equipment
Inspect the conditions of the buses in connection with the fire alarm control panel and
measure the insulation resistances between the buses of different circuits and that between the
buses and ground as well as the loads of the circuits. The insulation resistances should be larger
than 20MΩ and the circuit resistances should be smaller than 40Ω.
Use debugging devices to inspect whether the conditions of the circuit equipment (including
quantity, codes and operating conditions) comply with the design requirements or not, so as to
eliminate the faults (if any) and prepare for system connection.
Access the external equipment or connecting lines of the system to the input terminals of the
system controller. See the descriptions on the labels for the definitions of the terminals. The
contact should be good and there should be neither short circuits nor open circuits during the test
done with a multimeter.

User’s Tip: If it is lit, it does not suggest that all
other components of the system other than the
mainboard have been normally powered on, in
other words, it will be lit as log as the mainboard is
normally powered on.
It will be lit upon a fire alarm discovered in the
system.
It will be lit after the system sends a linkage request
of a module.
It will be lit after the system receives the linkage
feedback of a module.
It will be lit after an alarm fault is discovered in the
system (no matter which type the fault is).
It will be lit when the fire alarm control panel suffers
a fault or the system is not running normally.
It is currently meaningless as a reserved function.
It will be lit when a fire alarm triggers a linkage; and
it will go out when all the linkage delays have
ended and all the linkages have been established.
It will be lit when a power supply alarm of the fire
alarm control panel is discovered in the system (no
matter which type the power supply fault is). It is
specially set against the possibility that power
supply faults may make the entire system fail to
operate normally.
It will be lit when there is an audible and visual
alarm fault or a sounder (alarm bell) fault in the
system.
It will be lit when the fire alarm control panel has
normal communication.
Warm tip: Communication speed is fast, so this light
is actually in a flashing state.
It is currently meaningless as a reserved function.
It will be lit when the fire alarm control panel is
undergoing a self test or single-point test. It will go
out automatically after the self test.

-12 -

1) KEYBOARD function key (with a light)
When the system is powered on, the initial state is that the panel keyboard is closed and the
KEYBOARD light is out. After the KEYBOARD key is pressed or the CTRL , ALT and DEL keys on
the PS/2 keyboard are pressed at the same time, a password input box and a figure selection box
(there will be no figure selection box if login is realized through the PS/2 keyboard) will pop up on
the screen. At this time, user may log in the system after inputting the correct password (for
details, see the instructions on user login). If the system receives the correct password, the panel
keyboard will be opened and the KEYBOARD light will be lit at the same time. When the panel
keyboard is opened, the system will close the keyboard and exit the login after the KEYBOARD
key is pressed or the CTRL , ALT and DEL keys on the PS/2 keyboard are pressed at the same
time.
User’s Tip: If no operations are done on the system for about 10min when the
panel keyboard is opened, the system will exit the login automatically and close the
panel keyboard. All the function keys (all those introduced below) except for the
LOCAL MUTE key can be operated when the panel keyboard is opened only.
2) INTEGRATION function key (with a light)
If the integration control is in the PRHB state, press the INTEGRATION key to switch it to the
PERMIT state. During the process, the INTEGRATION light will be lit. If the IINTEGRATION key
is pressed again, the integration control will be in the PRHB state again and the INTEGRATION
light will go out at the same time. If multiple fire alarm control panels are networked and the
INTEGRATION key on the No.1 fire alarm control panel in the network is pressed, the integration
control states of all the fire alarm control panels will be changed at the same time; if the
INTEGRATION key on any other fire alarm control panel is pressed, only the integration control
state of the fire alarm control panel will be changed. The integration control state will be saved
upon a power failure. In other words, if the system suffers a power failure and is then powered on
again, the integration control state before the power failure will be restored.
User’s Tip: Integration refers to the integration control except for the sounder.
Sounder refers to a kind of linkage control of the system over the alarm bell, the
audible and visual alarm and other alarm devices. These alarm devices are used
extensively in projects and have independent muting operations. In order to simplify
the settings for users, we list the integrations of this sort separately for independent
operations.
3) SOUNDER function key (with a light)
If the sounder control is in the PRHB state, press the SOUNDER key to switch it to the
PERMIT state. During the process, the PERMIT light near the SOUNDER key will be lit. If the
SOUNDER key is pressed again, the sounder control will be in the PRHB state again and the
PERMIT light will go out at the same time. If multiple fire alarm control panels are networked and
the SOUNDER key on the No.1 fire alarm control panel in the network is pressed, the sounder
control states of all the other fire alarm control panels will be changed at the same time to make
them the same as that of the No.1 fire alarm control panel; if the SOUNDER key on any other fire
alarm control panel is pressed, only the sounder control state of the fire alarm control panel will be
changed. The sounder control state will be saved upon a power failure. In other words, if the
system suffers a power failure and is then powered on again, the sounder control state before the
power failure will be restored.
4) MANUAL function key (with a light)
If the MANUAL control of the system is in the PRHB state, press the MANUAL key to switch all
the accessed manual control panels to the PERMIT state. During the process, the PERMIT light
below the MANUAL key will be lit. If the MANUAL key is pressed again, the MANUAL control will
be in the PRHB state again and the PERMIT light will go out at the same time. If multiple fire
alarm control panels are networked and the MANUAL key on the No.1 fire alarm control panel in
the network is pressed, the manual control states of all the other fire alarm control panels will be
changed at the same time to make them the same as that of the No.1 fire alarm control panel; if
- 13 -

the MANUAL key on any other fire alarm control panel is pressed, only the manual control state of
the fire alarm control panel will be changed. The manual control state will be saved upon a power
failure. In other words, if the system suffers a power failure and is then powered on again, the
manual control state before the power failure will be restored.
5) LOCAL MUTE function key
Pressing the LOCAL MUTE key can mute the alarm sounds given by the buzzer and fire display
panel in the fire alarm control panel and the graphical display device in the fire control room. Upon
a new alarm under the mute state, the buzzer and other audible alarm devices will be restarted.
The LOCAL MUTE key is the only key not under the password protection in the system and it can
be operated no matter whether the keyboard panel is opened or closed.
6) OUTSIDE MUTE function key (with a light)
Pressing the OUTSIDE MUTE key can mute the alarm sounds of external equipment (including
the alarm bell and the audible and visual alarm). If there is a fire alarm, this key can disable or
enable the alarm sounds of corresponding alarm devices. After this key is pressed, the alarm
sounds will be muted and the OUTSIDE MUTE light will be lit. Upon a new fire alarm discovered
in the system when the alarm bell or the audible and visual alarm is linked, the OUTSIDE MUTE
light will go out and the alarm sounds of the corresponding alarm devices will be enabled again.
This key can be operated after the user logs in the system only.
7) ISOLATION function key (with a light)
If the ISOLATION key is pressed, all the bus equipment (it may be any bus equipment in the
networked system) currently under the alarm state (the fire alarm state, the feedback state or the
fault state) will be isolated. If a piece of bus equipment is isolated, the system will not give any
audible/visible alarms for the alarm information of the bus equipment. The fault information of the
interface boards, the power supplies, the printer, the display panels and the communication of the
fire alarm control panel should not be isolated. If any bus equipment in the system is isolated, the
ISOLATION light will be lit.
User’s Tip: Only the superuser is allowed to use this function. Isolation involves
displayed information. The isolated bus equipment can run normally. Only a current
alarm key will be available on the panel in this case. Isolation operations like
ISOLATION QUERY and CANCEL ALL ISOLATIONS may be done through menu
operations.
8) SELF-TEST function key
After the SELF-TEST key is pressed, the system will enter the self-test procedure: All the lights
will be lit for a light inspection; the buzzer will try multiple sound modes (fire alarm, fault,
feedback); and the screen will light the dot matrixes in order. After the self-test, the system will
exit automatically. If the SELF-TEST key is pressed during the self-test, the system will exit the
self-test state.
△Caution: Under the self-test state, the system will not receive alarm signals.
!
9) RESET function key
After the RESET key is pressed, all the present alarms will be eliminated and the system will
be restarted. The entire process needs about 30s to 60s. If multiple fire alarm control panels are
networked and the RESET key on the No.1 fire alarm control panel in the network is pressed, all
the networked fire alarm control panels will execute the reset operation; and if the RESET key on
any other fire alarm control panel networked is pressed, only the fire alarm control panel will be
reset.
△Caution: If multiple fire alarm control panels are networked and the No.1 fire alarm
control panel is the concentrator (the system’s principal fire alarm control panel), then,
when the RESET key, the ISOLATION key, the LOCAL MUTE key, the OUTSIDE
MUTE key, the INTEGRATION key, the SOUNDER key or the MANUAL key on the
concentrator is pressed, all the other zone fire alarm control panels networked (the
!
-14 -

No.2 fire alarm control panel to the No.20 fire alarm control panel) will execute the
corresponding operation; and if the said key on an zone fire alarm control panel is
pressed, only the state of the zone fire alarm control panel will be changed. If the
RESET key on the concentrator is pressed by an operator when an zone fire alarm
control panel in the networked system is in the set state, the zone fire alarm control
panel will immediately respond to the restoration command and the file is set by it at
that time will lose the content updated this time, namely the data newly set after the
last time saving will not be saved automatically. Therefore, when the networked
system is debugged by several debugging personnel at the same time, it is
necessary to disconnect the networking cables of the set fire alarm control panel
temporarily before inputting mass data.
10) Selection and query of the content on the LCD

Fig.6-1 Manual Control Panel
Each manual control button needs to occupy a module address, so each manual control panel
needs to occupy 30 continuous bus module addresses. The quantity of the manual control
panels that may be accessed to a fire alarm control panel depends on the quantity of the
interface boards. There are 11 initial positions of the 30 module addresses for selection: 1, 31,
61, 91, 121, 151, 181, 211, 241, 271 and 301. The specific address settings may be determined
by four jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3 and JP4 on the circuit board. When the jumpers jump to the
upper end, it is “1” (HIGH); when they jump to the lower end, it is “0” (LOW). The corresponding
addresses are given as follows.

Chapter eight: Cause analysis and troubleshooting of faults
² Fault phenomenon: After the system reports a fire alarm, the
corresponding alarm bell and audible and visual alarm fail to act.
Possible causes and troubleshooting methods:
a. Check whether the SOUNDER light on the panel is lit or not;
b. Check whether there is any fault information about the alarm bell or audible and visual
alarm or not;
c. Check whether the alarm bell or audible and visual alarm has a 24V power supply or not;
d. Check whether the type of the control module of the alarm bell is set to be sounder or
audible and visual alarm or not; or
e. Check whether there is a sounder or audible and visual alarm output in the linkage setup
or not.
² Fault phenomenon: After the system reports a fire alarm, the
equipment executes no requests.
Possible causes and troubleshooting methods:
a. Check whether the INTEGRATION light on the panel is lit or not; or
b. Check whether there are linkage setting data in the linkage setup or not, or whether the
Register option in the linkage data is selected or not.
² Fault phenomenon: After the system reports a fire alarm, the
multi-line linkage control units on the fire alarm control panel fail
to execute a linkage request or fail to act.
Conditions for the automatic start of the multi-line linkage control units:
a. The PRHB/PERMIT lock-control switch is in the PERMIT state;
b. The AUTO/MANUAL lock-control switch is in the AUTO state;
c. The INTEGRATION light is lit; and
d. Check whether there are linkage setting data in the linkage setup or not, or whether the
Register option in the linkage data is selected or not.
After the system reports a fire alarm, linkage may be realized after three of the conditions above
are met at the same time only.
Generally speaking, the multi-line linkage control units on the fire alarm control panel are
important fire protection equipment for control. In order to avoid wrong operations, they are
generally designed with multiple protection measures. In addition to the control of the
INTEGRATION switch, automatic linkage is also under the control of the PRHB/PERMIT
lock-control switch and AUTO/MANUAL lock-control switch on the fire alarm control panel. In the
PERMIT state, no operations can start the multi-line modules. The multi-line modules can
respond to the action requests of the fire alarm control panel in the PERMIT and AUTO states only.
Both in the AUTO and MANUAL states, the multi-line linkage control units can be started and
stopped manually.
² Fault phenomenon: After the system reports a fire alarm, the
on-site equipment executes a request, but it fail to act.
The feedback signals of the on-site equipment need to be returned by control and monitoring
modules. The possible causes of the fault include:
a. The on-site equipment is not in the auto state and therefore fails to start under module
control;
b. The on-site equipment has started, but its feedback signal wire has fallen off; or
c. The on-site equipment is not connected with a proper power supply.
² Fault phenomenon: The fire alarm control panel reports an AC
fault and a DC fault.
