1. GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
This manual provided only the basis operator’s information on the control and operation
of the Fire Alarm System. To ensure continuous reliability of the system, the o ner or
o ner’s representative should establish an agreement to carry out regular maintenance
of the installation ith the manufacturer or manufacturer’s representative or a
competent and qualified contractor trained to service and maintain this system.
The arrangements for maintenance should be such as ell ensure that a qualified
person is available on call at all time to provide service in the event of any fault that
develops at the installation. For the requirements of the Regular Testing and
Inspection, please refer to the section covered in this manual.
1.2 S stem Description
This Fire Alarm System utilises the V5 Fire Alarm Panel. The system may
comprise one or more alarm panel net orked together itch performs the task of
processing the input signals and thereafter transmit the output signals or initiates other
auxiliary functions. The alarm panel (s) are usually sited in the building fire command
centre or any prominent location clearly visible from the main entrance.
Input devices are used to cause a change in panel status. These devices may be the
combination of Manual Call Points (as in manual and automatic alarm system),
Heat/Smoke Detectors (as in automatic alarm systems).
Output devices are used to provide an audio & visual arning. Output devices
commonly used are alarm bells although sirens and strobe lights are sometimes used.
These three components: Input Devices, Control Panel and Output Devices form the
backbone of a Fire Alarm System.
Non-addressable Fire Alarm Systems operates on a “Zone” basis. These zones are
groups of input devices grouped in accordance to the locality they are protecting. In the
event of a Fire/Fault condition, the location here the signal had originated ill be
defined by the respective indication on the panel. It is therefore important to be familiar
ith the zoning of the protected area. A zoning diagram (or zone chart) is usually
provided for this purpose.
The Alarm Panel is provided ith a feature that continuously monitoring the continuity of
the input/detection, output/sounder circuits to ensure integrity of the system. It is also
equipped ith a battery back-up supply (lasting at least 24 hours) in the event of an
incoming supply failure.

2.2.2 Resetting the S stem
Before the system is reset, the cause of the alarm must be investigated and duly
rectified. In the case of a false alarm, make sure that there is no incident of fire before
resetting the system.
Note : It is not possible to reset the system before the alarm is silenced.
a) Re-instate the affected devices to normal
b) Press “System Reset” S itch (Green) (3)
c) Upon resetting, the system should resume to normal operating condition, if there are
no other events to cause another alarm and the original cause of the alarm being
rectified.
2.3 Fault Conditions
A self diagnostic circuit are provided to check itself and indicates a ide range of
possible faults.
Under Fault Conditions:

2.3.1 Silencing the Fault Buzzer
If the fault cannot be rectified, it may be silenced by:
a) Press “BUZZER SILENCE” S itch (Black) (1)
b) Buzzer Silence Amber LED lighted
c) Panel remains in fault state until fault rectified
2.3.2 Resetting the S stem
The cause of the fault should be investigated and rectified. If it is due to a mains supply
failure, the system ill normalise hen the mains supply resumes. Some faults are
internal to the system and are not covered in this manual. Once the fault(s) are rectified,
the panel shall be normalised.

2.8 LCD Event Logging Module (LLM)
LCD Event Logging Module (LLM) is provided as add on feature to display and record
the activated alarm zone information complete ith date and time.
LLM is integrated ith non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to store and record the activated
alarm zone event up to 999, it ill not be lost even the system total po er failure. The
recorded zone alarm event are essential for the FALSE ALARM MANAGEMENT.
LLM is also incorporated ith backup battery for real time clock, it ill be continuous
running during the system total po er failure.
LLM is operated by Micro Controller Processor Unit, it is fully supervised and monitored
for the soft are processing. In the events of Processor fault, and audio & visual signal
ill be given. The failure of the Porcessor will not impair the Primary Function of
the Fire Alarm System.
