green LED "In Operation“ The Fire Control Panel (FCP) is in operation.
green LED "Delay“ Delay of transmission device signal to the fire brigade for
automatic detectors.
green LED "No Delay“ Indicates that the FCP is in normal operation mode. That
means the main alarm is NOT delayed and any alarm
activates the Fire Brigade immediately.
green LED "Service“ Indicates that the FCP is in „Service Mode“.
red LED "Main alarm“ Indicates that the FCP is in Alarm condition. See LC
module for detailed information. If an alarm transmission
device (TD) is connected to the panel the panel has tried
to activate the TD.
red LED "Internal alarm“ Indicates that the FCP is in Alarm condition. See LC
module for detailed information.
red LED "Fire Brigade alarmed“ Indicates that the FCP has activated the alarm
transmission device (TD) to the Fire Brigade and the TD

gave a response to confirm the activation. (Input
“TD response” in the wiring diagrams can be used for
this confirmation signal).
red LED "Call Fire Brigade“ Indicates that the FCP is in Main Alarm condition but the
alarm transmission device (TD) could not be activated.
So the Fire Brigade maybe has to be called by phone.
yellow LED "Fault“ Indicates that the FCP is in fault condition. At least one
device (detector, module), input, output or system
component is not in normal condition. See LC module for
detailed information.
yellow LED "System“ The FCP itself is in fault condition. That means that
maybe the main board (micro controller) does not
work well and the correct function of the FCP is not
guaranteed. Please check immediately by the
installation company.
yellow LED "Disabling“ Indicates that at least one device (detector, module),
input or output is disabled (switched off).
yellow LED "Transmission Device“ (TD) In case of flashing this LED (and yellow LED "Fault“ is
on) the TD is in fault condition.
In case this LED is on (and yellow LED "Disabled“ is on)
the TD is switched off.
yellow LED "Sounders“ In case of flashing this LED (and yellow LED "Fault“ is
on) one of the sounder outputs is in fault condition.
In case this LED is on (and yellow LED "Disabled“ is on)
one of the sounder outputs is switched off.
red LED "FPE activated“ One or more automatic controlling, configured to
switching function "switch like fire protection equipment“,
are active.
LC module indications:
The LC module is a graphics LCD which is automatically illuminated in the case of any event. That means
if an alarm message, a fault message, a disabled message or just if any push button is pressed the LC
module activated the illumination. Then detailed information is shown in the display. Either the LCD
shows the information in 8 lines of alpha numerical texts or in a graphics mode like bar charts or columns.
Usually the FCP shows the condition of the panel in the middle of the LC module. There is in big letter the
current status on a dark background. The following messages are possible :
IN OPERATION = normal condition
ALARM = the FCP is in alarm condition
T E S T ALARM = the FCP is in test alarm condition
FAULT = the FCP is in fault condition
SWITCH OFF = certain devices of the FCP are switched off
ACTIVATION = outputs are activated by automatic controllings
If the user enters one of the menus (by pressing the push button „Prog“) at the bottom line of the LC
module he sees the dynamic function keys F1 – F4. Sometimes all 4 keys are used, sometimes only

menu of the FCP. See the detailed description in section 2.
This push button deactivates (switch off) the external sounder outputs in case of an
alarm. This is a temporary deactivation because if another alarm comes in the
sounders will be activated again. It's also possible by this key to reactivate the
sounders manually.
This push button deactivates (switch off) the internal buzzer in case of an alarm or
fault message. This is a temporary deactivation because if another message comes in
the buzzer will be activated again.
In case of an alarm and delyed alarm transmission, the inspection time will be started.
If there is no alarm and no fault holding this push button activates an LED test.
This push button resets the FCP.
To reset a "key deposit alarm" message you have to enter the installer mode in main
menu. Afterwards the alarm can be reset it by this key.

Details
For detector series "XP95", "Xplorer" and "S90"
there is an automatic threshold compensation
implemented. If the analogue value for optical
smoke detectors or ionisation smoke detectors is
higher than 40 or lower than 9 for several hours, the
panel will display a pollution fault message.
Example of detector data: Optical smoke
detector
The FCP displays the current values of the detector
as horizontal bar charts. The meanings of the bars
are :
•Analogue value (measured in detector
chamber)
•Pre alarm threshold
•Alarm threshold
The percentage values on the right relates to the bar
charts.
The Pre alarm/alarm threshold depend on
a) the detector sensitivity which can be
adjusted
b) the mode if the detector is a multi sensor
Only for Hochiki ESP
The push button „Calib“ration (F3) can be used to
calibrate an optical smoke detector or a multi sensor
manually. This will be done by the panel usually
automatically once a day (see Settings -> System
settings -> Parameter 12). That means usually this is
not necessary to do manually except :
1. after replacing a detector and if the fault
message "Calibration fault" appears.
2. if after the daily automatic calibration the
fault message "Calibration fault" appears.
The manual calibration process needs about 20 sec.
If in the second case the fault message does not
disappear the detector has to be replaced.
The push button „Details“ (F4) shows the result of
the last calibration of the detector Jump to Picture
07.4 .
Only for Apollo
By pressing „Compens.“ation (F3) an automatic
smoke detector (Optical, Multi) can be readjusted
manually. This should be done, if a polluted detector
will be changed by a new one. By compensating the
detector the drift value (Discovery) or the alarm
threshold (XP95, XPlorer) will be reset. Without
manual compensation the FCP will adjust these
values automatically but this process may last several
hours..

information for Apollo Discovery detectorsJump to

Out of these two values the actual smoke density and
the alarm thresholds will be calculated. (s. picture

By calibrating the detector the smoke density will be
set to 0 and the alarmthresholds will be readjusted.
The zeropoint represents the pollution of the detector.
In the bar charts on the left hand the limits and the
standard values for the different detector types are
demonstrated.

The Apollo "Discovery" series has the ability to store
data in the flash memory of the detector itself. These
data remains in memory even if the detector will be
removed from the base. The reading and transmitting
of the data will last about 1-2 seconds.Therefore you
have a short delay before first value will be displayed.
The following data is aavailable:
- date of manufacture of the detector in format
MM/JJ
- pollution in the range 0-31.
•16 = clean air value
•<=3 and 31 = pollution fault
•0 = fault with analogue value 4
- sensitivity 1-5
- date of last revision in format MM/JJ. If no revision
alarm has been activated for this detector a "-".will
be displayed.
- detector LED at polling
•1 = LED flashes, if detector is polled.
•0 = LED off, if detector is polled
this function can be set by system-parameter 8
