CONTROL PANEL
The fire panel must be sited internally, in an area
where it is readily accessible by staff on duty and the
fire brigade. The area should be clean and dry and
you should take into account any likelihood of
tampering or vandalism. The ambient light and
sound levels should allow the status of the indicators
to be clearly seen and the internal sounder to be
heard. Full details can be found in BS 5839: Pt1: 1988:
Section 15.3 "Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for
Buildings".![Conventional Wire Alarm System Conventional Heat Detector for Fire Alarm Control Panel](https://img3.grofrom.com/xirun/2573bb1c37b423f5ce6097bd6bb6eedb.webp)

External (key-switch operated):
- Reset/resound/test zone lamps evacuate
- Silence alarm sounders
- Silence fault sounders
Internal:
- One man detector test
- Zone isolate
- Revert to short-circuit: fire (no resistors in call points)
External indicators:
- Sounder fault
- Battery/power supply fault
- Mains on
- Zone fire
- Zone fault
Internal indicators:
- Open circuit zone fault
- Short circuit zone fault
- Zone isolated
- Engineer test selected
Outputs:
- Two sounder circuits (alarm relay contacts can be obtained by connecting a relay to a sounder circuit)
Ancillary connections for expansion modules will allow the following:
- Repeater panels
- Multiple sounder outputs
- Connection to landlord panel
