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.
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
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.
Alarms can come from Smoke or Heat Detectors, or manually be a person operating a Manual Call Point.
Split the system into Zones, each covering a different area of a building. This will indicate which area of the
system 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 its
auxiliary relay.
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.
Disablements
An engineer may be required to work on part of a system, while the system is still active (eg 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.
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.
Power Supply Equipment- General Description.
The NPSX 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 Ah maximum). The PSE is monitored for main supply
failure, the battery not taking a charge 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. This PSE is
only capable of supplying power to the CIE, and is not designed for any other use.

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
(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. Liase 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 Premier SX Range of Fire Alarm 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 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 1,2,3 (Stop sounders, Silence fault tone, Reset).
Turn key to controls enabled. 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. (eg 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 Transformer output Voltage (32 VAC), Charger Voltage (28.4V 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.

When the Premier SX Fire Alarm 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 General Fire LED and appropriate Zone Fire LED(s) on the front of its enclosure
Sound Internal buzzer
Start the Alarm Sounder and Auxiliary output, (provided there is no Delay set on the sounders).
The building evacuation procedure should now be followed.
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 Disabling zones or sounders later in this manual).
5.2 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 button.
The Alarm Sounders will cease to sound but the light(s) for the Zone(s) in Alarm and the red General Fire light will
stay lit. The Auxiliary Fire relay will remain active. (The Panels internal buzzer can also be silenced by pressing
the Silence int flt button (button 2)).
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 light(s) for the previous Zone(s) in fire, and General Fire lit.
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP (I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING).
•
With the control key in “Controls Enabled” position, momentarily pressing the Start/Stop will cause the Alarm
sounders to sound.
Pressing the Start/Stop button again will Silence the Alarm Sounders.
Note: If 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
resettable type), or fit a new glass element (if glass type). If the cause of the alarm was by detector activation
(eg cooking smoke), the smoke will have to be cleared from the room before the panel can be reset. Reset
the panel by pressing the reset button (3) 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, so will set off alarm bells again.

6. THE FAULT CONDITION
6.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAULT
The fire alarm monitors itself, and any equipment connected to it, for any faults that can occur. If a fault occurs, the Panel
responds by activating its Internal buzzer and lighting the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relevant to the
particular fault. The Panel’s Fault relay will also activate. Typical faults are described below: -

6.2 WHAT TO DO IF A FAULT CONDITION OCCURS
If a fault occurs, the responsible person should:
•
•
Turn keyswitch to Controls enabled and press silence flt tone button (button 2) to silence the fault buzzer.
Write down the fault (s) in the Log Book at the back of this Manual. Take appropriate action to correct the fault
(Usually by contacting the service engineer)
On the Premier SX panel, the fault indications (except system fault) are non latching. That is, when the fault has been
cleared, the fault indication will turn off. When all faults have been cleared, the panel will return to its quiescent (normal)
condition.
When a fault has been rectified the indicator light for that Fault is automatically turned off. If all Faults are cleared, the
General Fault light will go out and the Panel’s Internal Sounder will be silent (if not already muted).

7. DISABLEMENTS
7.1 REASONS FOR DISABLING CERTAIN PARTS OF A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For
example, if there is a risk of a False Alarm in a zone, for example, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is
possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards. During a disablement
of a zone(s), no fire or fault signal will be processed for that zone(s). Only zone(s) in a non-alarm state can be disabled,
that is zones already in fire cannot be disabled.
External sounders can also be disabled as could be required in certain conditions.
7.2 TO DISABLE A ZONE AND/OR EXTERNAL SOUNDERS.
1.
2.
Turn control key to “Controls Enable” position;
Press “Engineer” switch momentarily, this will cause General Disablement LED to flash (fast). This means the
panel is in disable/enable mode;
3.
4.
5.
Press scroll (No. 4) switch once and this will cause the General Disablement LED to flash (slow);
Press scroll (No. 4) switch once again and this will cause Zone 1 Disablement LED to light steady;
Pressing scroll (No. 4) switch will cause the zone disablement LED to toggle to zone 2 and so on;

8. USING SOUNDER DELAYS
8.1 WHAT IS A SOUNDER DELAY
In certain circumstances it may be desirable to have a delay between the panel detecting a fire, and starting its external
sounders, to allow the responsible person to check the cause of the alarm, to stop building evacuation by an obvious false
alarm. If the cause of the Alarm is found to be a true fire hazard, the Delay can be overridden and the Alarm Sounders
activated immediately. Alternatively, in the case of a false alarm, the Panel can be reset.
8.2 SOUNDER DELAY SETTING
On the Premier SX panel, the sounder delay is global. That is, all zones will be delayed by the same amount. The delay
can be set between 1 minute and 9 minutes, by turning the rotary dial to the relevant position, or the delay can be left off
(sounders activate immediately), by leaving the dial at the 0 position.
8.3 HOW THE PANEL INDICATES SOUNDER DELAY
If a Delay has been programmed into the Panel, the General Disablement & DEL(AY) LEDs will be lit. When a zone
processes an alarm signal, the panel will indicate fire in the usual way, but the sounders will not be active until the delay
period has expired. To override this delay, press Delay Override Switch, which will cause the external sounders to
energise. If there is no delay programmed, the Delay Override Switch has no function.
8.4 A FIRE ALARM CONDITION ON A DELAYED PANEL
When an alarm occurs on a Delayed Panel, the panel will: -
•
•
•
•
Light its General Fire and appropriate Fire Zone light(s)
Sound its Internal buzzer
Start the Delay countdown sequence
Wait until the end of the delay, then start the sounders.
8.5 OVERRIDING A DELAY IN THE EVENT OF A GENUINE FIRE ALARM
If on investigation the cause of the Alarm is found to be a true fire hazard, pressing the Delay Override, will active the
Alarm Sounders and Outputs with immediate effect.
8.6 RESET THE SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A FALSE ALARM
If, on investigation, the cause of the Alarm is found to be false, turn the Key switch to the “Controls Enabled” position and
press reset button.
8.7 TO TURN OFF THE SOUNDER DELAY
There are two ways of turning off the sounder delay:-
1
