INTRODUCTION
The Premier EXPRO is a 2 zone, 1 area extinguishing panel.
It has 2 zones dedicated to the extinguishing section. These are known as crossed or co-incidence
zones. Both circuits will need to be triggered in order to activate the extinguishing circuit. This kind
of operation also referred to as “double – knock”
The Extinguishing section is designed to BS EN 12094-1:2003.
The panel has an integral Manual Release switch fitted to the front of the panel.
The panel has monitored inputs for field connections, such as manual release, abort, etc.
The panel has relay outputs for first & second stage alarms, fault, gas fired, and EXT for extract fan.
The panel has an add-on board that provides relay outputs for Auto, Manual, and Abort
The Premier EXPRO can be in any of the following conditions:-
• Quiescent condition – i.e. System Normal
• Fault condition
• Disabled condition
• Test condition
• Pre-activated condition
The Premier EXPRO will enter the pre-activated condition (first stage alarm) within 1 second
of a detector on one of the crossed zones signalling an alarm
• Activated condition
The Premier EXPRO will enter the activated (second stage alarm) condition within 1 second
of the second crossed zone signalling an alarm.
• Released condition
The Premier EXPRO will enter the released condition (bottle output activated) within 1
second of establishing the activated condition, or after the delay configured in the bottle
output timer
WARNING: Access to live components inside this fire alarm enclosure. nly authorised personnel

USER RESPONSIBILITIES & MAINTAINENCE OF THE FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE FACP & ITS INTEGRAL PSE
According to the British Standard Code for Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Commercial
Buildings (BS5839: Pt 1: 2002), the owner or person having control of the premises should appoint a
responsible person to oversee the effective operation of the Fire Alarm System (Clause 47.1).
Below is a summary of the main functions the “Responsible Person” is expected to carry out. This
summary is not intended to replace Section seven (User responsibilities) of BS5839: Pt 1: 2002
(available from BSI, or your local library). It is meant to give a brief outline of user responsibilities
for the safe upkeep of the Fire Alarm System. The number in brackets shows the relevant BS5839:
Pt 1: 2002 clauses.
The responsible person must:-
1. Have sufficient authority to carry out the duties associated with being the responsible person
(47.2.a)
2. Check the system at least once every 24 hours to ensure there are no faults present (47.2.b)
3. Ensure there are arrangements for testing and maintaining the system (47.2.c)
4. Ensure the log book is up to date, and available for inspection (47.2.d)
5. Instruct all relevant occupants on the basic operation of the system, including start evacuation,
silence alarms, silence faults and system reset (47.2.e)
6. Take appropriate action to limit the rate of false alarms (47.2.f)
7. Ensure that all detectors and manual call points remain unobstructed at all times (47.2.g)
8. Liaise with maintenance personnel to ensure that cleaning, maintenance or building work does
not interfere with the functioning and reliability of the fire alarm system (47.2.h).
9. Ensure any changes to the system are recorded with updated drawings, operating instructions
etc (47.2.i)
10. Ensure that there are spare parts (especially Call point elements) held on site (47.2.j.1&2)
With the EX PRO Panels, we recommend the following tests are carried out: -
Daily Inspection
• Check that the green Power LED is lit.
• If there are any yellow fault LEDs lit, or the green Power LED is not lit, report the fault(s) to the
designated site maintenance engineer.
Weekly Test (you may wish to temporarily disconnect the Aux relay & Disable bottle output
during the following Tests)
• Set off a manual call point or sensor to test the Fire Alarm panel responds and all the sounders
activate.
• Do not test the same device each week. Test a different zone each week using a different call
point or detector so that eventually, all the devices will be tested.
• Reset the System by pressing (Stop sounders, Silence fault tone, Reset).
• Enter access code. Press the LED Test button. Check that all LEDs light, and the buzzer sounds
• Check that no call points or fire detectors are obstructed in any way. (e.g. New furniture or
decorations)
•

Quarterly Test (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Check that any servicing or repairs required by all previous logbook entries has been
undertaken.
• Visual inspection of the batteries and connections. Check the alarm sounders work on battery
only.
• Activate a device from each zone to test the fire alarm. (As per weekly test).
Annual Test (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Check every detector, call point, sounder and all auxiliary equipment for correct operation.
• Check Cage output Voltage (29.5VDC), Charger Voltage (27.6Vnormal) & Battery Voltage (25-
27V)
Every Five Years (to be carried out by authorised service personnel only)
• Carry out a complete wiring check in accordance with the testing and inspection requirements
of the relevant National wiring regulations (in the UK this is the IEE Wiring Regulations). The
Batteries should be replaced because SLA batteries have a working life of 5 years.
