Manual Fire and Fault Tests
After installation or cleaning, it is recommended that a manual Fire and Fault test is performed:
Fire Test: Cover the Reflector slowly so that it takes longer than
5 seconds to cover. The System Controller will signal Fire to the
Fire Control Panel
Fault Test: Cover the Reflector completely within 2 seconds. The
System Controller will signal Fault back to the Fire Control Panel.

In Use Cleaning the System
Cleaning the System
The system will automatically compensate for dust
build-up by changing the Compensation Level.
However, it is recommended that the Detector lenses
and the Reflector are cleaned periodically with a soft
lint-free cloth.
If the Compensation Level for a particular Detector
remains above 130 for several days, this indicates
that cleaning should take place on that Detector.
The system should be isolated from the Fire Control
Panel before cleaning takes place.
After cleaning, verify that the system is operating
normally:
If the Signal Strength is between 92% and 108%
- leave the system to compensate back to 100% (this
should take no more than 12 hours)
If the Signal Strength is above 108%
- reduce Compensation Level until Signal Strength is
92—108%, and wait for system to compensate back
to 100%
If the Signal Strength is below 90%
- perform LASER Targeting, Auto-Align, and Set.
How to change Compensation Level:
Use to move between icons
in the Detector Menu, until this icon is
shown

Re-Finding a System - After Adding or Removing Detectors
In Use
60 seconds
•Press tick to enable found Detectors
•Any unused Detector channels are switched
off
•Press to re-scan if number is incorrect
•Repeat Alignment (Steps 5 to 9) for any
other Detectors found during the ‘Find’
process
This will be the number of
Detectors found
•Power Down the system
•Connect new Detector(s) or disconnect
unwanted Detector(s)
•Power the system back up, then follow
procedure:
Use to move between icons in the
System Controller Settings, until the ‘Find’
screen is shown

Troubleshooting System in Fault/Trouble
17
•If a Fault/Trouble is indicated at the System Controller:
•Refer to manufacturer for further technical assistance
Does the LCD come on if a key is pressed?
Do any LEDs on the System Controller flash? Check power to System Controller
Have the Detector(s) been ‘Found’ and aligned?
(Refer to page 12 of User Guide for indication
screens)
Does the compensation level = 205 or - 49?
(Refer to pages 15, 24 and 25 of User Guide for
compensation level screens)
Is the signal strength less than 13%?
Is the signal strength greater than 110%?
NO
Perform ‘Find’, and align / ‘Set’ the
Detector(s). Refer to pages 8-14 of User
Guide
NO
Clean and re-align Detector(s).
YES
Check that the beam path is not blocked
Check that Reflector and Detector are still in
position and have not moved
YES
Check that there is not a reflective object in
the beam path
YES
YES
YES
NO
NO

Troubleshooting Error Codes
Detector Not Found
System Controller could not find
Detector. Also displayed during
power up.
• Wait 45 seconds for system to
power up
• Check wiring between System
Controller and Detector (Voltage
to Detector should be 11—13V)
Detector is connected but not
‘Found’
A Detector is connected but not
‘Found’
• Follow ‘Find’ process and
align if necessary
Compensation Level Not Zero
Compensation must equal zero
when ‘Set’ is selected.
• Re-align Detector using Auto-
Align
Signal Strength Out of Range
Signal Strength is too low or too high
after Auto-Align.
• Ensure correct distance has been
set
• Ensure correct Reflector type has
been used
• Ensure clear line of sight to
Reflector
• Re-align Detector using LASER
and Auto-Align
Reflector Not Found
Detector could not align with
Reflector
• Ensure correct distance has been
set
• Ensure correct Reflector type has
been used
• Ensure clear line of sight to
Reflector
• Re-align Detector using LASER
and Auto-Align
18
Auto-Align Failed
• Ensure correct distance between
Reflector and roof structures
• Ensure clear line of sight to
Reflector
• Re-align Detector using Auto-
Align

Troubleshooting Error Codes
Cannot Zero During ‘S-00’
in ‘Set’
The Reflector was not
covered or the Detector was
not aligned onto the Reflector.
• Ensure Reflector was
completely covered with a
non-reflective material
• Re-align Detector using
Auto-Align
No Signal During ‘S-01’ in ‘Set’
The Reflector was not uncovered
during ‘S-01’.
• Ensure Reflector was
uncovered when ‘S-01’ was
selected
‘Centre’ Stage of Alignment
Failed
Detector has aligned on
something other than the
Reflector
• Ensure clear line of sight from
Detector to Reflector for a
radius of 0.5m

If it is not possible to see the LASER because of
the installation environment (for example, if you
cannot see the Reflector from the System
Controller or there is high ambient light) then use
‘Hand’ Alignment. This option displays the signal
strength value returned by the Detector, and
allows the user to move the beam
1. Start ‘Auto’ Alignment and press after two
seconds to exit. (this will maximise infrared
power)
2. Select ‘Hand’ alignment
3. Use to steer the beam until the
signal strength is above 800. There is no
auto-repeat function on any key. To move the
motor in any given direction more than once,
press the key multiple times
4. Cover the Reflector. If the Signal Strength
does not drop by more than half, the beam is
not aligned to the Reflector, so repeat Step 3
5. Perform ‘Auto’ alignment, followed by ‘Set’
