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. Turn control key to “Controls Enable” position;
2. Press “Engineer” switch momentarily, this will cause General Disablement LED to flash (fast). This means the
panel is in disable/enable mode;
