User responsibility
Your fire alarm system should have been designed,
installed and commissioned to your site specific
requirements and in accordance with the requirements
of BS5839 Part 1. You should have received
instructions about your system during the handover
stage and must make arrangements to ensure the
system is regularly tested and maintained.
It is recommended that the person responsible for
the fire alarm system should ensure the system is
tested and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of BS5839:Part 1 and become familiar
with:
¨the operation of controls and be able to interpret
the indications given at the control panel
¨keep up to date all documentation associated with
the system.
&Any servicing work on the
Vigilon system must be carried out by
a suitably trained person, please refer
to your servicing organisation.
Daily
BS 5839:Part 1, states that the system should be
inspected daily to ensure:
¨That a normal indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment.
¨That any previously indicated fault conditions
have received appropriate attention.
¨All system events are entered into the Log Book
for future reference.
¨That the use of the 'area(s) that are inspected'
has not changed since the system was designed.
¨That no unsafe practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
When testing the system there may be a need to
isolate ancillary outputs and it is important to contact
the alarm receiving centre before and after the weekly
test.
¨A different manual call point of the system
should be tested to ensure the system is capable
of operating under alarm conditions.
¨The operation of the alarm sounders should be
checked, which also reminds the occupants that
there is a fire alarm system which gives a
particular sound output.
"The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid confusion
between a test and a genuine fire alarm.
The alarm receiving centre must be
contacted before and after the test to
check alarms are received and also to
avoid unwanted alarms.
Operating instructions

Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system should be inspected
and any work necessary should be performed by a
trained maintenance engineer.
"For help with service and
maintenance please refer to your servicing
organisation, see contact details entered
in the log book.
Limitation of false alarm
It is recommended that the person responsible for the
fire alarm system should arrange for suitable
investigation and appropriate action on occasion of
every false alarm. For a system having less than 40
automatic fire detectors installed, an in-depth
investigation should be instigated on occurrence of
two false alarms in any rolling 12 months. For a
system having more than 40 automatic fire detectors
an investigation should be instigated if there has been:
¨one false alarm for every 20 installed detectors in
the system in any rolling
12 months, or
¨two or more false alarm occurrences from a single
device.
Background music
Before playing background music via the Vigilon
Compact Voice Alarm system it is important to acquire
a license to broadcast music.
"If background music is being
played from CDs or Tapes then it is a legal
requirement (1988 Copyright Design and
Patent act) to obtain the appropriate
license by contacting the Performing
Right Society.

Vigilon COMPACT VOICE ALARM

System control and indicating equipment
The events of fire, fault and disablements are indicated at the control and indicating equipment installed in the
protected premises. The control and indicating equipment should be accessible to the person responsible for
the fire system.
Control panel
The control panel is the heart of the system. It is normally located near to
the main entry / exit point of the protected premises.
The control panel continuously monitors devices that are connected to its
analogue loop circuits. Each analogue loop cable is routed through the
protected premises to cover all areas. Both ends of each loop being
terminated at the control panel for system integrity. Fire sensing devices
installed on the analogue loop constantly monitor the environment for fire.
The alarm devices such as the micro Distributed Amplifier Units and
Mains Powered Interface Units via their speaker circuits provide alert and
evacuation voice alarm to warn occupants in the event of a fire.
The Audio loop is also routed through the protected premises and connects to each micro Distributed Amplifier
Unit and Mains Powered Distributed Amplifier Unit on the corresponding analogue loop circuit. Both ends of the
audio loop are terminated at the control panel. This loop is used to output the announcement of central audio
messages and live speech via local Emergency microphone and optional external Public Address (PA)
microphone. The loop can also carry background music for broadcast during normal condition.
Repeat panels
There may be one or more repeat panels installed in the
protected premises to provide secondary indications of the
system condition. The larger repeat panel additionally provide
system controls. The repeat panels are usually located near to
secondary entry and exit points of the protected premises.
Zonal Mimic panels
There may be a number of mimic and zonal panels installed in
the protected premises, to provide visual indications in a
graphical or zonal format. Normally one is installed next to the
main control panel. There may be additional panels installed in
other areas of the protected premises. The mimic panel or
zonal panel may be used to cover sub division of the
premises.

emergency or at other agreed times, for example when conducting a
system test or practice evacuation.
Pressing the Silence Alarms button will stop emergency message
announcements and silence the system alarms.
Pressing the Reset button will clear any fires and return the panel to
its normal state. If a fire condition occurs immediately after reset
then the indicated device should be investigated.
If the Verify facility has been set up, then pressing the Verify
button in the event of a fire condition, increases the time delay
before the sounders are activated. This gives the user time to
investigate the cause of the alarm and an option of cancel the alarm
within the delay time period.
These buttons can be configured during commissioning to action
'user defined' functions, such as disablement of devices in areas
where smoke may be generated or where plant shutdown is
required.
The function of these buttons should be written on the label that is
fitted on the back of the outer door.
These four buttons are used to scroll the displayed text.
These buttons allow data to be entered manually at the control
panel.
