EVENT MONITORING
The term event is used to describe a change in system status that must be
acknowledged and/or generates an output.
Examples of events include:
Mains failure
Detection of a fire condition
Operation of EVACUATE key
All events trigger a response, the category of which depends on the event
type and will be one of the following (in priority order):
Full Alarm or Alert
Pre-Alarm
Fault
Isolation
Test Mode
Warning
Information
When an event occurs, it is stored in the event log. The contents of this log
may be displayed in two formats:
Unaccepted and locally accepted events
All events in chronological order of occurrence
The events are stored in chronological order with unaccepted events

marked as outstanding. The event log may hold up to 3000 events; in the
unlikely occurrence of the log filling up, the oldest record will be overwritten.
3.3.2
EVENT DISPLAY
The display automatically shows the last event of the category with the
highest priority. With Scroll keys, it is possible to get all events in this
category in chronological order. With Softkey F5 the user can change to
another category (if available).
Important: Category Full Alarm/Alert shows only the first point of a zone in
alarm. If two points of one zone are in alarm, only the first one which was in
alarm will be displayed. The second alarm can only be accessed via the
menu option View Event Log.

OPERATION IN ALARM
3.4.1
SYSTEM RESPONSE
When a fire condition is detected, the system responds as follows:

1
The internal buzzer will sound in a continuous tone.
The red FIRE LED will light.
The SOUNDERS and NOTIFICATION STATUS ACTIVATED red LEDs

will light.
If the alarm is initiated by a detector, there may be a delay of from 1 to 10

minutes before the NOTIFICATION STATUS ACTIVATED led lights. This is
to allow time for the alarm to be investigated and any relevant action taken
before signalling is initiated. A Callpoint set to evacuate will initiate
signalling immediately. Refer to Section 2.6.3.
4
For the MZX controllers, the sounders and any other configured
outputs will be activated.
The LCD will display a message in the format:

The message format is as follows:

Under FIRE:
The top line shows the Zone and Point number of the
device in alarm.
The second line shows the zone description (defined at
configuration).
The third line shows the point description (defined at
configuration).
The fourth line shows the type of alarm.
If no information text is shown:

Doc. version 1
The fifth line shows date and time.

The sixth line shows the device type.
The seventh line shows the actual CURRENT
temperature (if heat sensor).
The above is only displayed if Extended Alarm Information has been
selected at configuration.
Under First Fire:
The first three lines from FIRE are repeated.
The number of alarms is displayed on the black bar underneath the
first fire information.
3.4.2
SOUNDER SILENCING
When a FIRE ALARM is received, investigate the cause of the alarm.

WARNING:
WHEN SEARCHING AN AREA FOR THE SOURCE OF A
FIRE ALARM SIGNAL, WHERE A FIRE ALARM HAS BEEN
INITIATED BY A CARBON MONOXIDE FIRE DETECTOR, IT
MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT A CARBON MONOXIDE
FIRE DETECTOR MAY GENERATE AN ALARM BEFORE
OTHER FIRE INDICATORS (SUCH AS SMOKE) ARE
PRESENT.
THIS OCCURS MOST NOTABLY IN DEEP SEATED FIRES IN
DENSELY PACKED MATERIALS, AREAS WHERE FIRES
MAY OCCUR IN CUPBOARDS AND STOREROOMS
REMOTE FROM DETECTORS AND WHERE SMOKE
IMPERVIOUS BARRIERS EXIST BETWEEN THE SEAT OF
THE FIRE AND THE DETECTOR (SUCH AS WITHIN WALL
CAVITIES). THESE FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
CAREFULLY BEFORE DECLARING SAFE ANY AREA
WHERE A CARBON MONOXIDE FIRE DETECTOR HAS
RAISED AN ALARM.
Once the cause of the alarm has been determined and all appropriate action
has been taken, silence the sounders as follows:
1
Insert the key into the front panel keyswitch and turn it clockwise to
the enable position.
Press SILENCE/RESOUND.
Doc. version 1
19
The system will respond as follows:

1
The sounders will be silenced.
The SOUNDER ACTIVATED LED will extinguish.
All other outputs will remain activated.
The LCD display will remain showing the type of alarm and the full
zone identification. The GENERAL display window will show
Sounder SIL.
If it is required to manually resound the sounders, pressing the SILENCE/

RESOUND key will reactivate the sounders.
3.4.3
RESETTING THE CONTROLLER
When the system is in a Fire Alarm state, Silence must be operated before
Reset is possible. This interlock is always present under Fire Alarm
condition, even if all sounders are isolated.
The controller should also NOT be reset until the source of the alarm has
been determined by the Fire Brigade or the cause otherwise found (and the
condition removed).
Once the notes above have been observed, press the RESET key. The
display will show the following message:
Reset
in
Progress...
*
After 17 to 20 seconds, the LCD will return to the normal display (Section
2.3) if no faults or other events are present.
3.4.4
MULTIPLE EVENTS
If, when in alarm condition, a second alarm (of another zone) is received, the
system response is dependent on the nature and source of the second
alarm as follows:
20
If the sounders have NOT been silenced, the following will occur:
The internal buzzer will continue to sound without interruption.
The LCD will continue to display the alarm message for the FIRST fire
alarm and also the last fire alarm.
The alarm count will be incremented.
Doc. version 1
3.4.5
PRE-ALARM WARNINGS
If the LCD shows a message including a warning indication, a pre-alarm

condition has been detected by the controller. This may be indicated for
example, if a detector identifies a build-up of smoke or heat that might result
from a fire, but the alarm threshold has not yet been reached. The internal
buzzer will sound but the sounders and visual fire indicators will remain
inactive at this stage. Proceed as follows:
1
Accept the event, (if the option is available), noting the location of the
event.
Initiate action to deal with the condition indicated, taking care to

determine if the warning was initiated by a fire condition or by a
system fault.
If the detector subsequently shows an alarm condition, an alarm will be

generated, regardless of whether the pre-alarm warning was accepted.
3.5
OPERATION IN FAULT CONDITION
3.5.1
SYSTEM RESPONSE
When a Fault condition is detected, the system will respond as follows:

1
The internal buzzer will pulse.
The yellow GENERAL FAULT LED will light.
The LCD backlight will come on and will display the following type of

DAY/NIGHT MODE
In night mode the system activates immediately when an alarm is received,

the internal buzzer, all sounders and alarm signalling outputs operate.
In day mode, on receipt of an alarm, only the internal buzzer and sounders
are activated immediately. A delay time is started (default 60 seconds) in
which the alarm message must be acknowledged (Investigate delay
switch) to start the investigation time. If there is no acknowledgement
within this time, the alarm signalling outputs will be activated.
The investigation time (default 10 minutes) is the time remaining for staff to
carry out investigation of the alarm source, before the alarm signalling
outputs will be activated.
An evacuate callpoint will initiate an immediate alarm.
Signalling is always immediate if sounder faults exist in the system.
3.6.3
INVESTIGATE DELAY
The INVESTIGATE DELAY switch is only active when the controller is in the
DAY MODE of operation. If a Fire Alert is received at the controller, the
signalling output is delayed for 1 minute, if the Investigate Delay switch is
pressed during this period a further delay (configurable between 1 and 10
minutes) is initiated. This delay allows for the alarm to be investigated, if it
is a false alarm, the cause of the alarm can be removed and the controller to
be silenced and reset. If the alarm is real, then pressing the EVACUATE/
FIRE ALARM, switch will cause the signalling output to activate.

AUXILIARY DISPLAY DEVICES
3.7.1
GENERAL
Depending on the configuration of the system, there may be one or more

auxiliary display devices fitted. These devices may be of the following
types:
Repeaters
Printers
The functions of and operating instructions for these devices are given in the
following paragraphs.
3.7.2
REPEATERS
A repeater allows the controller to be operated from a remote location and

provides remote indications of the state of the controller. The front panel of
the repeater is identical to that of the controller (see Fig. 1) and all controller
operations may be performed at the repeater panel.
3.7.3
PRINTERS
Refer to the manual supplied with the printer for operating instructions.
3.7.4
LCD REPEATERS
LCD Repeaters can:
24
Display the alarm and fault messages as displayed on the

Controller on a backlit 4 x 20-character alphanumeric display.
Provide an internal log for up to 150 events.
Provide an internal audible warning of an event.
Allow the event log to be displayed using the scroll keys.
Silence the internal buzzer and external sounder (if fitted) with the
MUTE key.
Doc. version 1
CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
As stated, the MZX controller has built-in functions. These functions allow
the operator to perform such actions as viewing the event log, setting the
date and time, etc. The functions are arranged according to sophistication
and access to certain of them necessarily needs to be restricted to trained
staff.
The control of access has been achieved by assigning functions to Access
Levels, each Access Level having an associated numeric passcode. The
passcode for a particular Access Level is defined at system configuration.
4.1
ACCESS LEVELS
4.1.1
GENERAL
The access levels available are as follows:
Customer Operator 1 to 7 - 4 digits
Customer Manager 1 - 5 digits
Customer Manager 2 - 6 digits
These access levels are described in the following paragraphs. A maximum

of 99 Passcodes are available which may be split between Access Levels as
required.
The Customer Operator 1 Access Level is achieved by turning the ENABLE
key to the enable position (ie, a Passcode is not required).
Table 1 contains Access Levels and Menu Options available at each level.

ROUTINE CHECKS
5.1
GENERAL
In order to comply with the requirements of British Standard BS 5839 Part

1, the installation must be checked on a regular basis by a responsible
member of staff to confirm that the controller and all ancillary devices are
operating correctly. The required routine checks are described in the
following paragraphs.
5.2
DAILY CHECKS
Proceed as follows:
1
Ensure the front panel of the controller is indicating a normal condition

(ie, no alarm or fault LEDs are lit and the LCD is displaying the date and
time).
If the panel is not indicating a normal condition record the condition in the
log book and take any necessary action.
5.3
Check that any fault recorded on the previous day has received
attention.
WEEKLY CHECKS
These checks would normally be carried out by a responsible member of the

customers staff.
WARNING:
WARN ALL PERSONNEL THAT THE SOUNDERS ARE
ABOUT TO BE TESTED.
Proceed as follows:
1
If necessary, clean the front panel of the controller with a suitable

cleansing agent.
Doc. version 1
63
Set one device (either a callpoint or detector) from one zone into alarm
and check that the system responds as follows:
The controllers internal buzzer sounds in a continuous

tone.
The two red FIRE LEDs on the controller front panel light.
The appropriate red FIRE ZONAL LED flashes (if

configured).
The general and zonal sounders operate.
The alphanumeric display gives the location of the alarm.
Record the device used to initiate the test in the site log book and reset
the controller.
Check the condition of the printout on any printers attached to the

system and replace the ribbon if it is becoming feint.
Ensure that each printer has an adequate supply of paper.
Any defect should be recorded in the log book and appropriate action
taken.
