1  Fire Alarm Control Panel Safety Issues 

There is no need to open this fire alarm during normal operation. Any work carried out on this system must be performed by a competent person 
who is familiar with this type of system.

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.

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 and 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 the sounders, and indicate which zone (area of the building) has signalled the fire. It will also activate its auxiliary relay. 

2.1  Fault Monitoring

All circuits must be checked 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.

2.2 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.

2.3 Delays

In public places, it may be desirable to delay the activation of an alarm until the responsible person has verified the cause of the alarm. (This would 
avoid a panic evacuation caused by a smoky room, or a maliciously activated call point.) On verification of the alarm, the sounders can be started 
by pressing the override button, or the panel can be reset in the case of a false alarm. If a delay has been set, it must be recorded on the system 
configuration chart at the back of this manual.

2.4  Power Supply Equipment - General Description

The Profyre C8 FACP has an integral linear power supply capable of supplying 1.2 amps in total. It contains a current limited output for charging 
sealed lead acid batteries (7.0Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for main supply failure, the battery not taking a charge, low battery voltage 
and resistance. If the battery voltage drops below approximately 20VDC (a fault condition), the battery charging current will be turned off, thus 
stopping charging. This PSE is only capable of supplying power to the CIE, and is not designed for any other use.
