5.2.2 Disposal of Fire Alarm Signal
When fire alarm occurs, first find out the location according to the information shown on
the repeater panel and verify if there is a real fire.
If it’s a real fire, please take corresponding measures as outlined below.
Step 1: Evacuate people.
Step 2: Call the fire department.
Step 3: Initiate extinguishers.
If it is a false alarm, please take the following measures.
Step 1: Press SILENCE to stop the sound.
Step 2: Remove the causes of the false alarm.
Step 3: Press RESET to make the FACP back to the normal state. If the device still
gives false alarm, disable it using a FACP in network and inform the installer or
manufacturer for repair.
5.3 Fault
5.3.1 Fault Indication
In case of fault, the repeater panel and FACPs in network display the fault message
simultaneously and light corresponding LED.
Mains fault: If the AC power of networked FACPs is down, the repeater panel
reports AC fault, and
Lights COMMON FAULT and POWER FAULT LED.
The LCD displays “AC FAULT”.
Generates fault sound.
Battery fault: The repeater panel reports battery fault if the battery voltage is lower
than 18.9V, and would:
Light COMMON FAULT and POWER FAULT LED.
The LCD displays “BATTERY FAULT”.
Page 10

GST-NRP00/GST-NRP00-HU/GST-NRP00-PT
Network Repeater Panel Installation and Operation Manual
Generates fault sound.
System fault: The repeater panel would report system fault if its control CPU and
circuits are in fault and it cannot work normally.
It lights the COMMON FAULT and SYSTEM FAULT LED.
There is no display on the LCD.
The repeater panel generates continuous alarm sound.
The repeater panel cannot monitor fire alarm.
The keypad cannot be used.
If system fault indication remains for less than 5 seconds, the repeater panel
will assume that this is not a true fault and automatically clear the LED and
sounder indication and return to normal monitor state. If system fault
indication remains for more than 5 seconds, the repeater panel will then
interpret it as a genuine fault and the LCD displays “System fault must be
reset manually. System time must be reset.” after it’s cleared. You need to
press RESET key to clear the fault indication and reset system time.
Keypad fault: The repeater panel reports keypad fault if its keypad circuit is in fault,
and
Lights the COMMON FAULT and SYSTEM FAULT LED.
The LCD displays “Key fault”.
Generates continuous alarm sound.
The keypad cannot be used.
The repeater panel can monitor fire alarm.
The repeater panel can reset automatically after the fault is removed.
Periphery device fault: If there is trouble with one of the periphery devices of the
networked FACP, the repeater panel reports fault with it, and
Lights the COMMON FAULT LED.
Generates fault sound.
The LCD displays the fault message of the net device. The fault screen is as in
Fig. 5-4.

5.3.2 Disposal of Fault Message
There are two kinds of fault message. One is system fault, like AC fault, battery fault,
and loop fault. The other is field device fault, like fault with detectors and modules etc.
If the Networked FACPs are powered by battery for longer time than its capacity,
the repeater panel will shut down to protect the battery. Please charge the battery
in time to avoid any possible damage to it.
If it is system fault, please check and repair in time. If the repeater panel needs to
be shut down, please make detailed notes.
If it is field device fault, please repair it in time. You can disable it if the fault can’t be
cleared for some reason, and enable it when the fault is removed.
5.4 Rules for Message Display
If there are multiple messages in the system, they will be displayed in the following order:
fire alarm, action, fault, start, disable.
1 The earliest fire alarm is displayed in priority. The latest action, fault, disabled
message is displayed in priority.
2 There are zone and loop display modes for fire alarm, fault, and disabled messages.
And start and action only has loop display mode.
3 In any display mode, the system will return to displaying of the highest priority if
there is no operation within 20s (15s 30s).
5.5 Rules for Sound Indication
The repeater panel will sound to indicate fire alarm or fault messages.
The repeater panel gives fire engine sound when fire alarm occurs.
The repeater panel gives ambulance sound when fault occurs
The repeater panel will give sound of higher priority if two types of event occur
simultaneously.
