1. FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL SAFETY ISSUES
2. THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Fault Monitoring
There is no need to open this fire alarm during normal operation. Any work carried out on
this system must be performed by a competent person who is familiar with this type of
system. This equipment will operate safely provided it has been installed correctly in
compliance with the Installation Manual. It is recommended that the system is serviced
frequently. It is customary to arrange a regular maintenance contract with a competent
organisation. (Ask the installation company for recommendations). The system needs a
thorough maintenance check annually at the very minimum.
If any part of this Fire Alarm Control Panel becomes damaged, contact the company
responsible for system maintenance to arrange repair / replacement.
A Fire Alarm System is used to provide an early warning of a fire, so that the property can
be evacuated and the fire extinguished if it can be safely tackled, or the local fire brigade
called, according to the company evacuation procedure. Alarms can come from Smoke or
Heat Detectors, or manually be a person operating a Manual Call Point. Split the system into
Zones, each covering a different area of a building. This will indicate which area of the
system is giving the alarm (or fault).During an alarm; the panel will start its sounders, and
indicate which zone has the fire. It will also activate its auxiliary relay.
All circuits must be checked for line integrity. If a part of the system has a problem which
may affect its operation, a fault warning must be given by the fire alarm panel (LED & buzzer
indication). The fault will not be activated.
European Union Directives Conformance
Statement, This product has been manufactured
in conformance with the requirements of all
applicable EU Council Directives.

SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE FACP & ITS INTEGRAL PSE
Disablements
Power Supply Equipment - General Description
An engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active
(e.g. extending a detection zone). During such circumstances, it would be advisable to
disable that zone, so that it will not give false alarms. Similarly you may wish to disable a
zone that has a fault that has not been fixed, or a zone covering an area with a temporary
unusual environment, such as an area which is dusty because of construction work etc.
The owner or person having control of the premises should appoint a responsible person
to oversee the effective operation of the Fire Alarm System. Below is a summary of the main
functions the “Responsible Person” is expected to carry out. It is meant to give a brief
outline of user responsibilities for the safe upkeep of the Fire Alarm System.
The F-A16L is composed of two parts, Electricity (AC220V) and lead-acid batteries. Under
normal circumstances the power of the product offered by Electricity (AC220V). When
power is cut, the standby battery (lead-acid batteries) is enabled.meanwhile, the products
will make the corresponding instructions and the buzzer will also sound. At this point you
can press the mute button as long as the product can still work properly. Note: When the
batteries is installed you should switch on Electricity (AC220V) fist, this will prevent a spark
occurring.

5. THE FIRE CONDITION
5.1 HOW THE F-A16L INDICATES AN ALARM
5.2 TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SOUNDERS
When the F-A16L Fire Alarm Panel is set into alarm: LED will show that which zone is alarm.
Then the ALARM LED in the alarm panel will light. ALARM LED which corresponds to the
area of fire will glimmer .The internal buzzer will sound, warning sounder and output
equipment assisted will be started.
Turn the key switch to the “CONTROLS ENABLED” position, make controller quiet sound
according to press “SILENCE”, shut off the warning generator of outside according to
press “STOP-START”. But the LED is in charge of still revealing the area that calls the
police, red “ALARM” LED on the panel still keeps on, red “ALARM” LED in the area of alarm
still glimmers continuously, the fire insurance relay assisted will be in the state of
activating.
5.3 A SECOND ALARM SIGNAL FROM A NEW DETECTION ZONE
If another detection Zone is activated then the Alarm Sounders which have been silenced
will activated again. LED “CURRENT ALERT” will show the alarm zone and the LED “ALERT
MEMORY” will shows the area zone this and last time by turns. In addition red “ALARM”
LED of the new warning area glimmers; originally fire zone is keep previous condition.
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP
(I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING)
5.5 RESETTING THE PANEL
With the control key in “CONTROLS ENABLED” position, momentarily pressing the
Start-Stop will cause the Alarm sounders to sound. Pressing the Start-Stop button again
will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
Check the cause of the alarm activation. If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation
(e.g. cooking smoke), the smoke will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can
be reset. Reset the panel by pressing the reset after the sounders and panel buzzer have
been silenced.

6. THE FAULT CONDITION
7. DISABLEMENTS
8. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
If the call point is still active, or the detector is still smoky, this will cause another alarm
straight after the panel is reset, so will set off alarm bells again.
If a fault occurs, the responsible person should:
Turn key switch to “CONTROLS ENABLED” and press “SILENCE” button to silence the
fault buzzer.
Write down the fault (s) in the Log Book at the back of this Manual. Take appropriate action
to correct the fault (Usually by contacting the service engineer) On the F-A16L panel, the
fault indications (except system fault) are non latching. That is, when the fault has been
cleared, the fault indication will turn off. When all faults have been cleared, the panel will
return to its quiescent (normal) condition. When a fault has been rectified the indicator light
for that Fault is automatically turned off. If all Faults are cleared, the General Fault light will
go out and the Panel’s Internal Sounder will be silent (if not already muted).
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit
prevailing conditions. For example, if there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for example,
from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to disable that zone
during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards. During a disablement of a
zone(s), no fire or fault signal will be processed for that zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm
state can be disabled, that is zones already in fire cannot be disabled. External sounders
can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
