WHAT TO DO IF THE FIRE ALARM PANEL SHOWS AN ALARM (RED LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of paper for transferring to the log book
later).
Follow the building procedures for fire alarm activation.
When the building has been evacuated, the sounders can be silenced by turning the key to the CONTROLS ENABLED position, which
will cause the CONTROLS ACTIVE LED to light. Press the START/STOP SOUNDERS button and the SILENCE BUZZER button. (Note that
the sounders may take up to 8 seconds to stop).
If there is no sign of fire, investigate the area that reported the fire CAREFULLY. Check for a detector or a call point with its RED LED
lit.
If a detector caused the alarm, look for any innocent phenomena that could have activated it (Steam, cooking food, exhaust smoke,
excessive dust etc. can all activate a smoke detector). If anything is found, try to clear the room by opening a window.
If a fire is discovered, either tackle it with fire extinguishers if suitably trained, or call the fire brigade.
To reset the panel press the RESET button.
If the panel goes back into alarm, stop the sounders and call the engineer.
WHAT TO DO IF THE FIRE ALARM PANEL SHOWS A FAULT (YELLOW LED)
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of paper for transferring to the log book
later).
If the SUPPLY FAULT LED is lit, check if there is a power cut to the building. Check that the mains supply to the fire alarm has not
been turned off.
All other fault indications will need the service engineer’s attention. Call the engineer as soon as possible. Note that when the
Quatro panel is in a fault condition, the majority of the system may still function correctly. Extra vigilance should be paid in the area
with the fault. The alarm may not be operational in this area.
The panel’s internal buzzer can be silenced by turning the key to the on position and pressing the SILENCE BUZZER button.

1. FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL SAFETY ISSUES
When the Premier M Plus panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the access door must be closed
and locked. After locking, the key MUST be removed and ONLY held by the responsible person and / or the service personnel. It
must under NO CIRCUMSTANCES be held by the user.
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.

European Union Directives Conformance Statement
This product has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all applicable EU Council
Directives. The Declaration of Conformance for this product is located at the following Address: GLT
Exports Ltd, 72-78 Morfa Road, Hafod, Swansea, SA1 2EN, United Kingdom.
2. THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
1. 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.
2. An Alarm can be raised from Smoke or Heat Detectors, or manually by a person operating a Manual Call Point.
3. To split the building into Zones, each covering a different area of the building. This will indicate which area of the system is
giving the alarm (or fault).
4. To start its sounders, and indicate which zone (area of the building) has signalled the fire. It will also activate its fire relay.
Fault Monitoring
The panel checks all circuits 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 relay will also activate.
Disablements
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.
Power Supply Equipment- General Description
The Quatro panel has a switch mode power supply capable of supplying 5 amps in total. It contains a current limited output for
charging sealed lead acid batteries (17 Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for mains supply failure, the battery not taking a charge,
the battery having a high resistance, and low battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below approximately 20VDC (a fault
condition), the battery charging current will be turned off, thus stopping charging.

3. 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 (BS 5839-1:2002+A2:2008),
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 BS 5839-1:2002+A2:2008 (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)
11. In the event of a pre-alarm, determine the cause & take appropriate action (predetermined fire routine if the cause is the
start of a fire, arrange maintenance if the cause is a contaminated detector head) (47.3)
With the Quatro Fire Alarm Panel, 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 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.
Turn key to CONTROLS ENABLED. Reset the System by pressing STOP SOUNDERS, SILENCE BUZZER, RESET.
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 Switch Mode cage INPUT Voltage (30.5 VAC), Charger Voltage (27.6V off load, adjusted with VR1) & 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.

4. PANEL INDICATIONS & CONTROLS
4.1 PANEL INDICATIONS
The LEDs used for zonal fire indication are reserved solely for this purpose. The other LEDs in this zonal range are shared between
fault, disable and test. These are accompanied by the Common Fault LED, the General Disablement LED and the Test LED,
respectively. A zonal fault LED can be distinguished from disablement and test by the zonal fault LED flashing, and the other two
zonal conditions are indicated by a steady LED.
4.2 PANEL CONTROLS
The controls on the Quatro are grouped together to try to be as user friendly as possible. The Start/Stop Sounder, Silence Buzzer, &
Reset buttons are the main control buttons. Above these, to the left are the alphanumeric menu keys (used for entering device
labels, access codes and numeric data), and to the right the menu navigational keys (used to move the cursor around the menus and
accept / reject various options). The remaining control is the access control key, which is located on the far right of the panel, next
to the enclosure’s lock. If the panel is located in a position where the general public have access, this key must be removed from the
panel and placed where it can be easily accessed by authorised personnel only. The access control key must be rotated clockwise to
the CONTROLS ENABLED position, before any of the other controls can be activated.
4.3 IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM
After the site has been deemed safe for return, to return the panel to normal: -
1. Turn the access control key to the CONTROLS ENABLED position.
2. Press the START/STOP SOUNDERS button to turn off the alarm sounders.
3. Press the SILENCE BUZZER button to turn off the panels buzzer.
4. Record the LCD screen details in the Fire Alarm Log Book.
5. Press the RESET button to return the panel to its normal condition.
4.4 ACCESS LEVELS
The Quatro has the following access levels:
i. QUIESCENT STATE
When the Panel is in its Normal state (i.e. the access control key is in the OFF position or removed from the panel, the indicator
lights on the front of the enclosure give a comprehensive overview of the System’s current status. Any Fire and Fault conditions are
clearly displayed, and any disablements highlighted. For detailed descriptions of what each indicator means, please refer
to Section 4.5.
The only functions that can be performed by the user when the panel is in the normal or quiescent state are:

PREMIER QUATRO USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK
#Doc No. GLT.MAN-135 PAGE 7
Issue: 1.05 Author: GW/NJ Date: 24/07/2012
Ending a programmed delay when the panel is in alarm. For example, if the installation engineer has instructed the panel
to wait for 2 minutes after a fire has been detected before sounding the alarm, a user can override this delay if it is
obvious that the building needs to be evacuated immediately. The user can override the delay by pressing button F4
(above which is displayed [END DELAY] on the screen).
Putting the Panel into the Controls Enabled state –see below.
ii. CONTROLS ENABLED
This access level is obtained by turning the access control key to the controls enabled position. When the controls are enabled you
can start or stop the external sounders, silence the panel’s internal buzzer, or reset the panel. The numeric keypad is also enabled
which allows the codes to be entered for the user’s password or the installation engineer’s password.
iii. USER MENU –FOR EACH AUTHORISED USER OF THE PANEL
This access level is obtained by entering a password which has been assigned to an authorised user. The password is 4 digits long.
The initial default password value is 1111. It is recommended that this is changed for the authorised users by the installation /
commissioning engineer, to make the panel more secure. Here the user can view panel,loop, zone and event log contents; read
individual points (i.e. detectors, call points, sounders & I/Os); disable / enable zones, points, sounders and relays; cancel
programmed delays; and test the LEDs and LCD. The user can also enter the test mode, which permits points in selected zone(s) to
be tested without causing the alarm to be raised throughout the building.
iv. INSTALLER MENU –FOR INSTALLATION / COMMISSIONING ENGINEERS ONLY
This access level is entered via the installation / commissioning engineer’s password. At the installer level, the engineer can set up
or modify a panel’s site configuration, and use the available menus to fault find the alarm system. The engineer’s password must
not be revealed to the users.
4.5 CHECKING THE PANELS INDICATION LEDS
Turn the key switch to “Controls Enabled” position, and enter the 4-digit User password. Use the ▼button to scroll down the menu
to Test LEDs & LCD. Press the ENTER button . All the LEDs on the front panel will light, the LCD screen will fill up with black squares,
and the internal buzzer will sound. After about a second all these events will automatically reset.
4.6 WHAT THE LEDS MEAN
The LEDs on the Quatro can be grouped into the following sections:
General Indications:
These are indications to specific conditions, such as power, power supply faults, Earth faults, double address,system fault etc. They
indicate all conditions except those that relate to the zones & sounders.
Common Indications:
These are Common Fire & Common Fault. These light in conjunction with another LED which indicates the fire or fault condition, as
a backup indication. They do not represent a specific event.
Zone Indications:
These are used to show a fire, fault, test mode, or disablement on a zone.
Mode Indications:
These are used to show which mode the panel is in. The controls active LED shows if the controls are enabled. The general test &
general disablement are used to indicate test mode & disablement mode, respectively.

5. THE FIRE CONDITION
5.1 HOW THE QUATRO INDICATES AN ALARM
When the Panel is set into alarm by a Detector or
Manual Call Point located in a zone that is not already in
alarm it will: -
Light the COMMON FIRE LED and appropriate
ZONE FIRE LED(s) on the front of its enclosure.
Display fires from any zone on the LCD display.
Sound the Internal buzzer.
Start the Alarm Sounders and Auxiliary
Outputs, (unless a delay has been programmed).
The building evacuation procedure should now be
followed.
FIRST ALARM: Z015 –SECOND FLOOR
LAST ALARM : Z025 –FOURTH FLOOR
ZONES IN FIRE : 003 POINTS IN FIRE : 005
PRESS ◄ OR ► TO SCROLL
FIRST ALARM: Z015 –SECOND FLOOR
LAST ALARM : Z025 –FOURTH FLOOR
002/005-08:10 Z086 –STAIR WELL
Optical (2.4.124) - ROOM 101
More information about fires in any zone can be seen on the LCD by using the MENU NAVIGATION buttons to scroll the fire data. In
the above example, 5 points (i.e. detectors or call points) are in fire. These are located in 3 different zones. The first alarm occurred
in zone 15 and the most recent alarm occurred in zone 25. The 2nd point is located in zone 86 (STAIRWELL). The address label of this
point is ROOM 101. It is on panel number 2, loop number 4 and at address 124. The point, which is an optical detector, was
triggered at the time of 08:10.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a zone has been disabled, it can not be triggered into Alarm. This should be remembered when disabling part
of the system. (see Disablements in Section 7).
5.2 HOW TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SOUNDERS
The Alarm Sounders may be silenced by turning the control key to CONTROL ENABLE position and momentarily pressing
the START/STOP SOUNDERS button.
The Alarm Sounders will cease to sound* but the light(s) for the Zone(s) in Alarm and the red COMMON FIRE light will stay lit. The
Auxiliary Outputs will remain active. (The Panels internal buzzer can also be silenced by pressing the SILENCE BUZZER button ).
*Addressable loop sounders will stop within 2 seconds. Sounder bases can take up to 8 seconds to stop. If the START/STOP button is
pressed again during this time, the panel will start the sounders again.
5.3 A SECOND ALARM SIGNAL FROM A NEW DETECTION ZONE
If another detection Zone is activated after the Alarm Sounders have been silenced, the panel will: -
Restart the sounders
Light the Zone Fire LED(s) for any new Zone(s) in alarm
Keep the LED(s) for the previous Zone(s) in fire, and General Fire, lit.

5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP (TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING)
If a user comes across a fire in the protected building, the alarm can also be raised by operating the START / STOP
SOUNDERS button on the front of the Fire Alarm Control 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 SOUNDERS button again will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
Note: If ALL of the Alarm Sounders have been disabled, pressing the STOP/START BUTTON will have no effect.
5.5 RESETTING THE PANEL
Check the cause of the alarm activation. If the cause of the alarm was an activated call point, reset it (if a resettable type),
or fit a new glass element (if a glass type). If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation the smoke (or steam or
other stimulus) will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can be reset. Reset the panel by pressing the reset
button after the sounders and panel buzzer have been silenced.
If the call point is still active, or the detector is still smoky, this will cause another alarm straight after the panel is reset,
and the alarm sounders will start again.
