Under BS5839 part 1 a zone plan of the premises must be
created and should be positioned on, adjacent to or in close
proximity to the fire panel and repeater panels. The zone
plan should have North at the top of the plan and should
ideally be positioned on a North facing wall. This is to help
the fire brigade locate a fire quickly.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PREMISES
MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT AN APPROPRIATE
ZONE PLAN IS ISSUED BY THE INSTALLER WHEN THE
SYSTEM IS HANDED OVER.
What are Sounder Circuits?
The sounder circuits allow for conventional only sounders,
beacons or sounder beacons to be installed on the system.
These will operate in a fire condition at the same time as
any BiWire sounders/beacons on BiWire configured zones.
What is FRE?
FRE is an abbreviation for Fire Routing Equipment.
Depending on the model of panel purchased, an optional
FRE output may be provided. This optional output is
generally used for connecting the fire alarm system to fire
routing equipment such as auto diallers that will contact the
fire brigade or an alarm receiving centre (ARC), etc. This type
of output is fully monitored by the fire system for any fault
condition.
What is FPE?
FPE is an abbreviation for Fire Protecting Equipment.
Depending on the model of panel purchased, an optional
FPE output may be provided. This optional output is
generally used for connecting the fire alarm system to
fire protection equipment such as sprinklers, door release
systems, etc. This type of output is fully monitored by the
fire system for any fault condition.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This user manual is aimed at the Premises Management
responsible for the fire alarm system and provides guidance
on how to operate the system, undertake routine testing,
and filling in the log book as required by BS5839 part 1.
After the system has been installed and commissioned by
a Competent Person, the Premises Management for the
site must ensure that all users of the system have read this
manual and are trained on its use.
1.2 Definitions
Premises Management
Is a delegated person or persons with specialist knowledge
and day-to-day control of the premises, the Fire System, and
the implementation of the fire procedures.
Competent Person
Is a person with relevant current training and experience,
and with access to the requisite tools, equipment and
information, and capable of carrying out the defined task.
A competent person is generally an employee from the
manufacturer of the fire alarm system, an installer, or service
engineer who is contracted to maintain the system.
1.3 About the BiWire Flexi System
What is BiWire Flexi?
Standard conventional panels have the fire detection devices
and manual call points on zone circuits with separate
circuits for activating fire alarm devices. Standard 2-wire
panels (such as the BiWire Ultra) have the fire detection and
fire alarm devices combined onto the zone circuits.
BiWire Flexi is switchable between conventional and
BiWire zone circuits allowing a combination of zone type
configurations to suit every application, along with separate
conventional sounder circuits to provide a full conventional
solution.
What are Zones?
The premises that the fire alarm system is providing
coverage for is split into areas of fire detection called zones.
The size of each zone is governed by BS5839 part 1 and will
be calculated when the fire system is being specified prior
to installation.
The number of zones required to provide coverage of the
entire premises will govern the fire panel model required, 2,
4 or 8 zones are available in the BiWire Flexi range.

2. General System Conditions
2.1 Normal Condition
In the normal condition only the POWER ON indicator should
be lit. If there are any other indications on the panel then the
actions outlined in section 2.3 should be followed. This is by
default access level 1.
2.2 Fire Alarm Condition
The fire panel will enter the fire alarm condition in 3 ways:
1. Fire/smoke has been detected by a fire detection device
2. A manual call point has been activated
3. An evacuation has been instigated by the Premises
Management
When the fire panel enters the fire alarm condition it will
turn on the General Fire indicator and the Fire indicator of
the zone or zones that have detected fire. The fire alarm
devices will start sounding and the panel buzzer will sound a
continuous tone. If the FRE is fitted then the fire routing
equipment will be activated (i.e. auto-dialler or alarm
receiving centre (ARC)) and alerted to the fire condition. If the
FPE is fitted then the fire protection equipment (i.e. sprinkler
system, door release mechanism, etc.) will be activated.
2.3 Fault Condition
The fire panel will enter the fault condition when one or
more of the following fault conditions are detected:
1. When the fire panel enters the fault condition it will turn
on the General Fault indicator and the appropriate fault
indicator (refer to 8 for more details). The panel buzzer
will sound a slow pulsing tone.
2. System Fault – Severe failure of the panel, the service
company must be contacted immediately.
Repeater Fault – Communication with a repeater panel
has been lost
3. Battery Fault – Battery voltage missing
Mains Fault – Mains supply missing
4. Battery Failure – Battery impedance failure
Charger Fault – Charger voltage missing
5. Sounder Fault – Any zone configured for BiWire mode
with a short circuit or open circuit condition present will
indicate a sounder fault and will prevent the activation of
sounders if fitted on that zone. Any fault condition
present on the conventional sounder circuits will also
indicate a sounder fault and will prevent the conventional
sounder circuits activating.
6. FRE Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition detected
on the FRE output
7. FPE Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition detected
on the FPE output
8. Detector Removed Fault – A detector head has been
removed
Zone Fault – Short circuit or open circuit condition
detected on the zone
2.4 Test Condition
The fire panel will enter the test condition when the
individual zone test has been activated at access level 2.
While the panel is in this condition the Test indicator will be
lit along with the test LED of the zone under test condition.
WHILE THE ZONE IS IN THE TEST CONDITION IT WILL
NOT REACT TO FIRES IN THE NORMAL WAY. IT WILL
ONLY REACT AS DEFINED IN THE TEST CONDITION
(REFER TO 6.7 FOR MORE DETAILS).
ALL OTHER ZONE NOT IN THE TEST CONDITION WILL
REACT TO FIRES UNDER NORMAL FIRE CONDITIONS.

4.3 What to do When Re-Enabling Zones with
Latching Detectors
• Before re-enabling any zone that has latching detectors,
a walk round of the zone in question should be carried out
to check that all detectors and manual call points are not
indicating a fire condition.
• If there are no detectors or manual call points showing the
fire condition then the zone can be re-enabled at the panel.
• If there are detectors or manual call points showing the fire
condition then the panel should be reset to clear the fire
condition before the zone is re-enabled.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE
WILL RESULT IN THE PANEL ENTERING A FULL ALARM
CONDITION WHICH WILL EVACUATE THE SITE AND
ACTIVATE ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT ATTACHED TO THE
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
4. What to Do Instructions
4.1 What to do in the Event of a Fire Alarm
Condition
• CARRY OUT THE PREMISES DEFINED FIRE
EVACUATION PROCEDURES
• When it is safe to do so silence the fire alarm devices and
reset the system.
• Note the time the fire alarm occurred and log the fire
event in the log book.
• If the fire alarm was a false activation (i.e. there was no
fire) then this should be reported to the service company
so appropriate corrective actions can be undertaken.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PREMISES
MANAGEMENT TO DEFINE THE FIRE EVACUATION
PROCEDURES AND ENSURE THAT ALL RELEVANT USERS
ARE TRAINED AND THAT FIRE DRILLS ARE PEFORMED.
IT IS ALSO THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PREMISES
MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NOTHING
THAT CAN IMPEDE THE OPERATION OF THE FIRE
SYSTEM AND PREVENT ANY OBSTRUCTIONS FROM
BLOCKING THE FIRE DETECTION DEVICES OR MANUAL
CALL POINTS.
4.2 What to do in the Event of a Fault Condition
• Note the indications on the front of the panel (refer to
section 8 for more details).
• Note the time the fault was noticed and log the fault event
in the log book.
• Notify the service company of the fault condition.

5. Routine Testing
Under BS5839 it is the responsibility of the Premises
Management to undertake periodic tests to ensure the fire
alarm system is operational. These tests are as follows:
5.1 Daily Testing (Premises Management)
• To be conducted by the Premises Management.
• Check that the panel shows no fire or fault indications.
• If there are any fault conditions indicated then follow
instructions in section 2.3.
5.2 Weekly Testing (Premises Management)
• To be conducted by the Premises Management.
• Each week perform a Lamp Test to check that all visual
and audible indicators on the panel are functioning
correctly (refer to section 6.8).
• Each week a different zone should be tested. Testing with
a manual call point is the simplest method as these can be
easily triggered with the key provided. Testing with a fire
detection device is more complex as it requires specialist
equipment and may not be possible for all premises. At a
minimum a different manual call point should be tested
each week.
• Place the zone to be tested into test mode using
“Individual Zone Test” (refer to 6.7 for more details)
• Record the weekly test results in the log book.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PREMISES
MANAGEMENT TO DEFINE A FIXED DAY AND TIME OF
WEEK THAT THE WEEKLY TEST IS PERFORMED. THIS
MUST BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL OCCUPANTS OF
THE PREMISES SO THEY KNOW NOT TO EVACUATE
DURING A WEEKLY TEST. IF AN AUTO-DIALLER OR
ALARM RECEIVING CENTRE (ARC) IS CONNECTED
TO THE FIRE SYSTEM THEN THE WEEKLY TEST
SCHEDULE MUST BE COMMUNICATED TO THEM AS
WELL.
5.3 Quarterly Testing (Competent Person)
• To be conducted by the Competent Person. Included as
reference for the Premises Management.
• Check all previous log book entries and verify that any
corrective actions had been taken.
• Carry out the weekly test and record the results in the log
book.
• Visually inspect the batteries and their connections.
• Disconnect the mains supply and check that the fire
system is capable of supplying the fire alarm devices by
operating a call point.
5.4 Yearly Testing (Competent Person)
• To be conducted by the Competent Person. Included as
reference for the Premises Management.
• Carry out the weekly test and record the results in the log
book.
• Carry out the Quarterly testing.
• Test ALL fire detection devices and manual call points.
