4. Failure of the system fuse is indicated by a blank display a continuous tone from the internal buzzer and operation of the fault contact The system is completely inoperative when the system fuse has failed and this fault should be repaired as soon as possible 16 0 EARTH FAULT MONITORING The fire alarm system should have none of its supplies or signalling lines connected to earth This ensures that two lines of different polarity or potential can not be joined by earth which may prevent the system from functioning properly or produce false alarms The control panel therefore monitors the earth connection which should be at approximately 2 5 volts above the panels OV or negative supply If the earth potential falls below 1 0 volts with respect to the panel OV the display will show POWER FAULT 001 001 Negative earth fault SOLO Single Loop Addressable Fire Control Panel Installation Commissioning and Operating Manual Page 21 of 30 16 0 EARTH FAULT MONITORING continuea If the earth potential rises above 4 0 volts with respect to the panel OV the display will show POWER FAULT 001 001 Positive earth fault Any earth fault will light the Common Fault LED sound the internal buzzer and operate the fault contact Both will also be recorded in the event register Connection of the panel to a PC via the configuration lead sometimes produces an earth fault This is quite normal and can be ignored 17

Sounder delay and delay time can be changed at the panel via access level 3 see section 8 3 22 0 DRIFT COMPENSATION Discovery devices are able to automatically compensate for sensitivity drift within a certain range This ensures that the sensitivity of the device remains constant over its operational life When a device becomes contaminated to a level of 85 of its compensation limits its address is addedd to a list which can be viewed under the contamination status menu Devices which are contaminated to the extent where no further compensation can be made will announce a maintenance fault at the control panel and should be cleaned or replaced at the earliest opportunity SOLO Single Loop Addressable Fire Control Panel Installation Commissioning and Operating Manual Page 26 of 30 23 0 REPEATERS The Solo can support up to 16 repeater panels via a simple 2 core wire link To communicate with repeaters the main panel must first be fitted with a repeater driver card This plugs into the expansion port shown in annex 3 The panel must be completely powered down before this card is fitted Failure to do this will result in damage to both the panel and repeater driver card Whilst the panel is powered down the repeater communication cable should be connected to the COMMS terminals at the left hand side of the terminal block on the main panel PCB observe polarity The panel then needs to be configured using a PC

All volt free contacts are intended for switching low power and low voltage signals only Under no circumstances should voltages or currents above the ratings listed below be exceeded Note These functions may not be used to provide any Options with Requirements as specified in EN54 2 10 1 Rem Sig Contact The Rem Sig contact is a volt free changeover which is rated at 1 amp at 30 volts DC This contact will operate upon any fire or evacuate condition and will remain operated until the panel is reset i e it will not switch off when the alarms are silenced The contact will not operated however if the panel is in zone test mode and the activation is from the zone on test Typical uses for this contact are remote signalling of the fire condition to a house system or automatic dialler The contact can be disabled for example if a fire test is being done as described in section 7 3 10 2 Fault Contact The fault contact is a volt free changeover which is rated at 1 amp at 30 volts DC This contact will operate upon any fault condition including total power failure and will self reset when the fault has cleared Typical uses for this contact are remote signalling of the fault condition to a house system or automatic dialler The contact can be disabled as described in section 7 4 10 3 Alarm Contact The alarm contact is a volt free changeover which is rated at 1 amp at 30 volts DC This contact will follow the action of

13. carefully commissioning the system using the PC configuration utility should be simple and straight forward The PC configuration utility has many benefits over manual configuration such as defining cause and effect logic rapid message allocation suppliers name entry day night mode setting and storage retrieval of site data and is strongly recommended as the preferred method of data entry 6 0 TESTING THE SYSTEM To ensure that the system operates as required it is first necessary to activate each device as shown on the installation plan and ensure that the correct panel response and message is displayed Once this has been established as being correct the zone and address configurations should be recorded for future reference Next the sounder outputs should be checked making sure that they operate as required and that audibility levels are acceptable If any special sounder sequencing or control of output devices has been programmed all possible logical combinations should be checked to ensure that the required response is given Finally any use made of the volt free contacts or remote control inputs at the panel should be tested to ensure that they operate as intended The system should then be ready for handover to the client who should be given copy of the operators manual and a set of keys for accessing the panel 7 0 FACILITIES MENU access LEvEL 2 A number of facilities are provided which can only be accessed a
