THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEMA Fire Alarm System is used to provide an early warning of a fire, so that the property can be evacuated andthe fire extinguished if it can be safely tackled, or the local fire brigade called, according to the companyevacuation procedure.Alarms can come from Smoke or Heat Detectors, or manually by a person operating a Manual Call Point.Splits the building into Zones, each covering a different area of the building. This will indicate which area of thesystem is giving the alarm (or fault).During an alarm, the panel will start its sounders, and indicate which zone has the fire. It will also activate itsauxiliary relay.Fault MonitoringThe panel checks all circuits for line integrity. If a part of the system has a problem, which may affect itsoperation, a fault warning must be given by the fire alarm panel (LED & buzzer indication). The fault relay willalso activate.DisablementsAn engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active (eg extending adetection zone). During such circumstances, it would be advisable to disable that zone, so that it will not givefalse alarms. Similarly you may wish to disable a zone that has a fault that has not been fixed, or a zonecovering an area with a temporary unusual environment, such as an area which is dusty because ofconstruction work etc.Power Supply Equipment- General Description.The NPAD FACP has an integral linear power supply capable of supplying 1.5 amps in total. It contains a currentlimited output for charging sealed lead acid batteries (7 Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for main supplyfailure, the battery not taking a charge and low battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below approximately20VDC (a fault condition), the battery charging current will be turned off , thus stopping charging. This PSE isonly capable of supplying power to the CIE, and is not designed for any other use.
