SUGGESTED ALARM PROCEDURE
The following is a suggested alarm procedure for use by building fire officers or duty wardens.
The fire
indicator panel is designed for use by qualified fire fighters and it is strongly recommended that the fire panel
not be operated in an emergency situation by anyone other than suitably qualified fire fighters.
Do not open fire indicator panel door or press any buttons until fire officers arrives.
Determine location of the fire by inspecting the label beside any lit red zone alarm LEDs on the panel.
Visually inspect area at a safe distance for actual fire or false alarm.
Notify fire-monitoring station of either result.
Perform evacuation and extinguishing operations as required.
IF a FIRE, direct fire fighters to the fire indicator panel and cause of alarm as they arrive.
IF a FALSE ALARM, advise maintenance technicians to determine and rectify cause.
Record all events in logbook.
NOTE A suitably qualified fire officer should perform the above procedure. These are suggested procedures
only, and if specific fire procedures are available or issued, they MUST prevail.
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
The functions of the IFS-2600 are divided into three (3) categories
Fire Fighter Functions
Global Functions
Zone Functions
FIREFIGHTER FUNCTIONS
Fire Fighter Functions are those specifically used by the Fire Brigade on attendance.
Following is an
explanation of their operation and the keystrokes required to perform the function required. These keys are
located at the top of the keypad marked FIREFIGHTER’S FACILITY and bordered in red.
ACKNOWLEDGE
ACK
The purpose of the internal buzzer is to alert persons of a new event on the panel, and a new potential fire
danger. Once the fire's location has been determined, the fire-fighter may wish to silence the internal buzzer
without having to totally reset the alarm.
When the buzzer is operating, pressing the "ACK" key once will silence it, however the External Alarm Bell will
continue to sound. If a subsequent alarm arises, the buzzer will be reactivated and a second ACK operation
will be required to silence it.
When an alarm is acknowledged, the Alarm LED will stop flashing and light continuously.
RESET
RESET
The reset function momentarily disconnects power, and resets all alarm parameters for the zone(s) that have
been acknowledged. This returns the zone back to its "normal" state. The reset key only operates on zones
with acknowledged alarms.
ISOLATE
ISOLATE
The isolate function prevents the transmission of alarms or faults from the zones to the master alarm facility.
The isolate key only operates on zones with acknowledged alarms.
