User responsibility
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
BS 5839 : 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 and visual 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.

5
Vigilon fire alarm system
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.
Control and indicating equipment
On occurrence of a fire, fault or disablement event in the
protect premises, the event is quickly indicated at a control and
indicating equipment. The control and indicating equipments
are installed in accessible location and can be operated by 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 or exit point of the protected
premises.
The control panel continuously monitor devices that are
connected to each device loop. The device loop cable is routed
through the protected premises to cover all areas with both
ends of the loop terminating at the control panel. On the loop
cable are installed devices such as fire sensors, that constantly
monitor the environment for fire. Alarm devices on the loop
provide alert and evacuation alarm to warn occupants in the
protected premises in the event of a fire.

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.

There may also be a number of mimic and zonal mimic panels
installed in the protected premises, to provide visual indications
in a graphical and zonal format.
Normally one is installed next to the main control panel. There
may be additional Zonal mimic panels installed in other areas
of the protected premises to cover sub division of the premises.

Descriptionofcontrolsandindications
Controls
Verify 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 the
option of cancelling the alarm within the delay time period.
U1 U4
These buttons can be configured during commissioning to action user-defined tasks, such as the disablement of
devices in areas where smoke may be generated due to maintenance work or where plant shutdown is required.
Fire
The two ‘fire events’ scroll buttons on the keyboard operate in exactly the same way as the two first level access fire
scroll buttons on the front door. These buttons are active when the door is open.
Qwerty keypad Allows the entry of alphanumeric data at the panel, such as a label given to a zone or device.
Enter
This button is pressed to acknowledge an entry of data such as a label.

11

A fire in your protected premises is automatically sensed at any
one of the fire detection devices installed in the building, such as
a sensor or a fire input from an interface. The control panel
actions the alarm sounders in the system and at the same time
gives the details of the fire event. The event indication is repeated
at all repeat indicator panels in the system.

To verify an alarm
(If required by
site procedures)

Disablement conditions
Disablement conditions
A disablement condition is the manual or automatic disablement of a part of the fire detection system. An automatic disablement
may be pre-configured for your premises to disable smoke sensors during the normal working hours in areas where smoke or
dust may be present. A manual disablement may be necessary where temporary building work is being undertaken that could
result in a false alarm.

The MENU ON/OFF button activates the function keys F1 to F4 for the
selection of menu prompts that appear above the function keys on the display.
At any level in a menu, single press of the MENU ON/OFF key aborts an
operation. However as an alternative the [Quit] option can be selected to exit
the function mode.
If the time taken between key presses exceeds five minutes, then the control
panel will automatically remove the menu options from the display and give a
system status indications.
The [Params] option is a Help function to
provide information to the user regarding the
type of input data required.
Most of the functions in the [Control], [Setup]
and [TestEng] menu options are protected with
password entry. The password is programmed
during the commissioning of the system and is
passed on to the site person responsible for the
fire alarm system.
An open access to controls
under User code is undesirable,
so it is recommended that a
customer password is setup.
Where a password code is not set up, there
is an open entry to operate the controls under
[User Code]. Where this is true the instructions
for entering the access code, password (or PIN)
in the following instructions should be ignored.
