4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

4.1 Te Wetewete me te Tirotiro

1. Carefully unpack the FACP and all components.
2. Tirohia mēnā he kino kei te tukuna. Me ripoata tonu ki te kaikawe mēnā he kino kei te tukuna.
3. Verify all components listed in the packing slip are present.

4.2 Te Whakaeke i te Paewhiri

1. Select a clean, dry, and secure location for mounting, away from potential sources of interference or damage.
2. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and access for wiring and servicing.
3. Mount the panel securely to a wall using appropriate fasteners.

4.3 Hononga Waea

All wiring must comply with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code), as well as local codes.

1. Hononga Hiko: Connect the 120V AC power supply to the designated terminals. Ensure the power source is protected by a dedicated circuit breaker.
2. Hononga Pūhiko: Connect the standby batteries to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity.
3. Initiating Device Circuits (Zones): Connect fire alarm initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations) to the respective zone terminals. Each zone requires an End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR).
4. Ngā Ara Whakamōhiotanga Taputapu (NAC): Connect audible and visual notification appliances (horns, strobes) to the NAC terminals. Observe polarity and ensure EOLRs are installed.
5. DACT Connection: Connect the DACT to a dedicated telephone line for communication with the central monitoring station.
6. Rere Awhina: If applicable, connect auxiliary devices to the programmable relay outputs.

4.4 Whakanui-a-Tamatanga

1. I mua i te whakamahi i te hiko, tirohia anō ngā hononga waea katoa mō te tika me te haumaru.
2. Apply AC power to the panel. The AC POWER indicator should illuminate.
3. Connect the standby batteries.
4. The panel will perform a self-test. Any troubles will be indicated.

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

5.1 Te Mahi Noa

In normal operation, the green AC POWER indicator is illuminated. All other indicators should be off, and the system should be free of trouble conditions.

5.2 Tikanga Whakaoho

When an initiating device activates (e.g., smoke detector detects smoke), the following occurs:

• The ALARM indicator illuminates.
• The specific ZONE ALARM indicator illuminates.
• Notification appliances (horns/strobes) activate.
• The DACT transmits an alarm signal to the central monitoring station.

5.3 Acknowledging an Alarm

Pehia te Whakaae button to silence the panel's internal buzzer and acknowledge the alarm. Notification appliances will continue to operate until silenced.

5.4 Silencing Notification Appliances

Pehia te WAHANGA button to turn off the horns and strobes. The ALARM indicator will remain illuminated until the system is reset.

5.5 Te Tautuhi i te Pūnaha

After the alarm condition has been cleared and notification appliances are silenced, press the WHAKATURU button. The panel will attempt to reset all initiating devices and return to normal operation. If the alarm condition persists, the system will re-alarm.

5.6 Trouble Conditions

A trouble condition indicates a fault in the system (e.g., open circuit, short circuit, ground fault, low battery). When a trouble occurs:

• The TROUBLE indicator illuminates.
• The specific ZONE TROUBLE or SYSTEM TROUBLE indicator illuminates.
• The panel's internal buzzer activates.

Pehia te Whakaae button to silence the internal buzzer. Investigate and resolve the cause of the trouble. Once the trouble is cleared, the TROUBLE indicator will extinguish automatically.

6. Tiaki

Regular maintenance is crucial for the reliable operation of your fire alarm system. Refer to NFPA 72 for detailed inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements.

6.1 Daily/Weekly Checks

• Verify the AC POWER indicator is illuminated.
• Check for any illuminated trouble indicators.

6.2 Ngā Arowhai ā-Marama

• Test all initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations) for proper operation.
• Test all notification appliances (horns, strobes).
• Test the DACT communication to the central monitoring station.

6.3 Nga Tirohanga Tau

• Perform a comprehensive system test, including all devices and functions.
• Tirotirohia nga waea katoa mo te pakaru, mo nga hononga wetewete ranei.
• Test standby batteries under load to ensure they can provide adequate power during an AC power failure. Replace batteries every 3-5 years or as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Clean the interior of the panel and detectors as necessary.
