Introduction
Purpose of the Guide
This guide is provided to enable the person responsible for the fire alarm system (see Definitions) to
operate the system, undertake their responsibilities with regard to testing and maintenance of the
system, and to record events and service/maintenance visits.
This is a generic document and therefore refers to the system components in general terms only. The
details of the installed system should be recorded in the space provided within this guide, and for
further reference, the record drawings (if applicable) should be consulted.
The responsible person, and any other staff who may be required to operate the system in an
emergency, should read and understand the basic operating instructions before an emergency
situation occurs.
Definitions
Responsible person:
The person having control of the premises, whether as an occupier or otherwise, or any
person delegated by the person having control of the premises to be responsible for the fire
alarm system and the fire procedures.
Competent Person:
A person competent to perform a defined task:
Normally a competent person will be an employee of the manufacturer, installer, or servicing
contractor, or a member of the user’s staff who has received suitable training from the
manufacturer, supplier or installer.
Understanding the Equipment
What are Quadnet and Duonet?
Quadnet and Duonet are the names of two fire alarm control panels that use the associated
Sita200plus devices. The panels and devices together form the fire alarm system installed in the
premises.
With a Quadnet panel system, up to four addressable device loops may be connected to each control
panel. With a Duonet panel system, up to two addressable device loops may be connected to each
control panel. In either system. up to a maximum of 4 panels may be networked together. These can
be a mixture of control panels and repeater panels.
Advantages of the Quadnet / Duonet system are significantly reduced cabling costs, enhanced
flexibility and flexible expansion capacity if required.
What is Multipoint?
This is the name of the automatic detector used in the Quadnet / Duonet installation. The Multipoint is
a unique device, which provides several modes of detection & sensitivity options within a single
device, enabling it to be easily configured for the application. One detector can function as a smoke
detector or heat detector (or both), and with various levels of sensitivity to suit the environment.

Quadnet / Duonet Repeater Panel User Guide
5
The Multipoint detector may also incorporate an integral sounder and strobe for general alarm
annunciation or local warning as required and an automatic isolator to maintain maximum cable
integrity in the event of a cable fault.
System Configuration
The detectors and call points are arranged in zones to enable the location of a fire alarm to be
identified. The number of zones depends on the size and the layout of the premises, and is limited to
128 zones per control panel (there may be more than one). There should be a chart or drawing
provided with the system indicating the area and layout of the zones –ensure that you are familiar
with the zone layout so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of a fire alarm.
The Repeater Panel display may also give you a zone number, a device description, a device number
and a device type; indicating the exact location of the device which has operated.
The system may be interfaced with the building services, e.g., the air conditioning may be shut down
when the alarm sounds. Make sure that you know what happens when the fire alarm operates as this
can affect routine system testing.
The system is powered from the mains supply and incorporates a standby battery which automatically
maintains the system in operation for a time of at least 48 hours in the event of a mains supply failure.
Note: the following controls can be carried out on a Quadnet / Duonet Repeater Panel.
Silence Alarms
Reset System
Sound Alarms
Silence Buzzer
What to do if . . .
The fire alarm sounds;
CARRY OUT THE PRESCRIBED FIRE DRILL
When it is safe to do so silence the alarms and reset the system, having first established the cause of
the alarm (refer to Operation).
The panel buzzer sounds;
If the panel buzzer sounds without the alarm sounders operating it is likely to be a fault or other
abnormal condition.
Make a note of all illuminated LEDs and displayed messages, record the time that the condition
occurred (if known), and other events within the building, eg., power failure, contractors working, etc.,
(Refer to troubleshooting). Call the service company with as much information as possible.

Quadnet / Duonet Repeater Panel User Guide

User Responsibilities
Introduction
The responsible person is required under BS5839 to undertake certain tasks with respect to the
testing and maintenance of the fire alarm system. The responsible person should also ensure that
written procedures are in place for the actions to be taken by the occupants in a fire condition, and
that staff required to operate the system have received adequate training. In a small building the fire
procedures can be quite simple, but when larger premises are involved the fire procedures can
become more complex and may involve the appointment of fire wardens, reporting procedures,
various assembly points, etc.
The responsible person is also required to liaise with the building maintenance personnel to ensure
that their work does not impair or otherwise affect the operation of the fire alarm system, and to
ensure that a clear space is maintained in the vicinity of detectors, and call points remain unobstructed
and conspicuous.
Routine Testing
For details on routine testing see the Quadnet Control Panel User Guide or the Duonet Control Panel
User Guide.
Any defects should be recorded in the log book and reported to the responsible person. A certificate of
testing should also be completed and given to the responsible person.
Action by the user following a fault
When a fault is reported by the repeater panel, the user should note all illuminated LEDs and
messages displayed, and the circumstances at the time the fault occurred, and report to the servicing
company.
The service company will be able to advise if the system is still able to respond to a fire alarm or
whether extra vigilance should be observed until the fault is rectified. Faults should not be left
unreported.
