  Customer Action: Press the **Accept** button to silence the panel buzzer. Note the fault message on the LCD display and contact maintenance personnel immediately.
• **Fault 2: DISABLED LED On**
  Cause: A part of the fire alarm system (e.g., a specific zone or sounder) has been deliberately disabled, possibly for maintenance or to prevent false alarms in a specific area.
  Customer Action: Check the LCD display to see which part of the system is disabled. If this is unexpected or if a fire alarm occurs while sounders are disabled, contact maintenance personnel.
• **Fault 3: OTHER LED On**
  Cause: An alarm or event that is not a fire, fault, or disablement has occurred (e.g., a pre-alarm indicating early smoke detection, a security alarm, or a non-fire input).
  Customer Action: Press the **Accept** button to acknowledge. Check the LCD display for details of the 'Other' alarm and take appropriate action based on the specific message (e.g., investigate a pre-alarm). If unsure, contact maintenance personnel.
• **Fault 4: Loss of Mains Power**
  Cause: The main electrical supply to the panel has been interrupted. The panel will switch to battery backup.
  Customer Action: The panel will indicate a fault. Contact maintenance personnel to investigate the power loss and restore mains supply. The system will continue to operate on batteries for a limited time.
• **Fault 5: Incorrect Time/Date Displayed**
  Cause: The panel's internal clock is incorrect, possibly due to a power interruption or not being set correctly.
  Customer Action: This is a minor issue. If you have the appropriate access level, you can correct the time and date via the Operator Menu. Otherwise, report it to maintenance personnel.

The responsible person should perform weekly checks to ensure the system is operational. Before starting, inform any alarm-receiving centres and building occupants.

• **Step 1: Notify.** Contact the alarm-receiving centre to inform them of the test.
• **Step 2: Lamp Test.** Perform a lamp test (via the Operator Menu) to ensure all LEDs on the panel fascia are working.
• **Step 3: Activate a Device.** Operate at least one fire detection device (e.g., a manual call point using its test key, or a smoke detector using a smoke generator) in a different zone each week.
• **Step 4: Verify Sounders.** Ensure that the associated building sounders activate.
• **Step 5: Verify Remote Alarm (if applicable).** Confirm that the alarm was received at the remote manned centre.
• **Step 6: Verify Auxiliary Equipment (if applicable).** Ensure any auxiliary equipment (e.g., door releases) operates as configured.
• **Step 7: Silence Alarms.** Press the **Accept** button, then the **Silence Alarms** button, and confirm sounders silence.
• **Step 8: Reset System.** Press the **Reset** button to restore the panel to normal.
• **Step 9: Record.** Record all test details and any defects found in the system logbook.
