When the building has been evacuated, the sounders can be silenced by entering access code 123 and pressing the Stop Sounder
button, then pressing the Silence Buzzer button. (Note that the sounders may take up to 8 seconds to stop)
If there is no sign of fire, investigate the area that reported the fire CAREFULLY. Check for a detector with its LED on, or SOUNDER
BASE STROBE LIGHT flashing or a call point with its RED LED lit.
If a detector caused the alarm, look for any innocent phenomena that could have activated it
(Steam, cooking food, exhaust smoke, excessive dust etc can all activate a smoke detector.).
If anything is found, try to clear the room by opening a window.
If the panel goes back into alarm, silence the sounders and call the engineer.
Write down the LCD reading and which LEDs are lit (either in the log book, or on a piece of paper for transferring to the log book
later)
All fault indications will need the service engineer’s attention. Call the engineer as soon as possible. Note that when the alarm is in a
fault condition, the majority of the system may still function correctly. Extra vigilance should be paid in the area with the fault. The
alarm may not be operational in this area.
The panel`s internal buzzer can be silenced by entering access code 123 and pressing the Silence buzzer button. If the fault comes
and goes, the panel will buzz every time the fault happens. If this is not acceptable you may be able to disable the zone that has the
fault. (see page 10)
Fault Monitoring
The panel checks all circuits 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.
With the Infinity ID2 Fire Alarm Panel, 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)
Enter access code 123. Press the LED Test button. Check that all LEDs light, and the buzzer sounds.
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 (Stop sounders, Silence Buzzer, Reset).
Check that no call points or fire detectors are obstructed in any way. (e.g. 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 Switch Mode cage INPUT Voltage (29.5 VAC), Charger Voltage (27.6V off load) & 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.
Zonal LEDs are still used for indicating fire conditions with Red coloured LEDs. A detailed description of the event will also appear on
the LCD screen containing the type of device (i.e. Detector or MCP), Zone description, Device unique location & description. This is a
much safer and quicker way to locate a potential fire than simply giving a ‘zone’ that the fire could be located within.
This access level is obtained by entering the user access code 123 . Here the user can start or stop the external sounders, silence the
panel’s internal buzzer, or reset the panel. The numeric keypad is also enabled which allows the user to enter the codes for
configuration or test modes.
The user menu can also be accessed. From here the user can view various system settings, such as device labels, zone contents and
the event log.
iii. CONFIGURATION MENU – FOR INSTALLATION /COMMISSIONING ENGINEER ONLY
This access level is obtained by entering the engineering code. This is a factory preset code which cannot be changed (see
Installation Manual). Here the engineer can edit loop contents edit text labels, and several other panel set-up options.
iv. TEST MODE SELECTION – FOR TEST ENGINEER ONLY
This access level is obtained by pressing the test button, and entering the test code. This is a factory preset code which cannot be
changed. Here the user can put any of the zones or sounder circuits into test mode. Turn the keyswitch back to the off position to
exit this mode.
General Disablement Yellow – Something has been manually disabled – check LCD menu for details
General Test Yellow – An engineer has entered a unique code and the panel is in ‘Test Mode’
More Data Yellow – More information is available use Next/Prev buttons to view
Fault Yellow – There is a fault – check LCD screen/fault logs for details
Sys Fault Yellow – There is a problem with the system, may require factory support
5.4 TURNING ON THE ALARM SOUNDERS FROM THE FACP (I.E. TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING).
Enter the user code 123
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.
Zone Fault
1. Cable Break
2. Cable Short Circuit
3. Device Fault
a. Missing device
b. Removed detector
c. Double Address
d. Device Changed
Earth Fault
1. Earth Fault Positive
2. Earth Fault Negative.
Sounder Fault
1. Sounder Open Circuit
2. Sounder Short Circuit
3. Faults on an addressable sounder will be indicated as a device fault.
System Fault
The System Fault LED lights if the Panel’s micro-processor has encountered a problem and has rebooted. This does not occur during
normal operation., typically after excessive electrical interference, or if the contents of its memory have been corrupted. This fault
can only be cleared by resetting the panel. If the fault re-occurs within 1 hour, this is indicative of a corrupt memory and expert
advice should be sought.
Due to the nature of a System
Fault (CPU not running
correctly), the exact contents of
the display can not be
determined. It could be blank,
filled with squares, garbled, or
even say system normal if the
CPU has re-started correctly.
TEST MODE
7. DISABLEMENTS
4. The screen will then show: ZONE DISABLEMENT ZONE 1. The panel is now in SELECT
DISABLEMENT MODE. Zone Disablement
Zone 3
5. Press NEXT BUTTON until the required zone or sounder circuit is DISPLAYED. Press Zone Disabled
ENTER to confirm the disablement. Disabled Devices: 0
The screen will now show that the zone is disabled, and the GENERAL
DISABLEMENTLED will light. This section is now disabled.
6. If more than one zone (or sounder) needs to be disabled, then press DISABLEMENT SELECT again until the required zone
(or sounder) is selected.
7. If the panel needs to be taken out of SELECT DISABLEMENT MODE (e.g. to silence a fault on another part of the system),
press the CANCEL button.
